Dryden of Chevy Chase, with net scores of 82 at the conclusion of the first 18 holes played on Tuesday, Miss White, ex- hibiting the same steady brand of golf that enabled her to score an 89 on the Indian Spring course on the first day, pulled away from Mrs. Dry- den over the final round. Miss Tidmarsh of Chevy Chase had the best gross score of yesterday, with a card of 88. 11 through the tournament Miss White played with steadiness and skill.

Although Roland R. MacKenzie and C. J. Dunphy, two of the outstanding competitors from Washington in pre- vious Baltimore tourneys, are missing from the competition this year, the field of entrants from Capital clubs is strong. George J. Volgt of Bannockburn, winner of two tourneys about Wash- ington already this Spring, is the head- liner of the District contingent. Only one Washington player, W. N. Baldwin, started in the qualifying round this morning, with the score of other Capital entrants scheduled to tee off this afternoon. Match play rounds begin tomorrow morning, with the final rounds scheduled for Satur- day afternoon. D. Clarke Corkran, an outstanding figure in previous Balti- more tourneys, has not entered_ this vear, although his brother, B. War- ren, last year's winner, is an entrant. Norman B. Frost of the Indian Spring Club yesterday won the low gross prize in a golf competition staged by the District of Columbia Bar Association at the Congressional Country Club.
