Voigt finds himself today. Cleared of charges of acting in a manner detrimental to the hest in- terests of golf, Voigt is in a strangely anomalous position, and one that is most unusual in the history of the competitive game. Unless the District of Columbia Golt Association rescinds its action declar- ing him ineligible for play in its champlonship in the Fall, Voizt will be an amateur and eligible to play in all amateur tournaments except the interests of golf. It has b height of my ambition to qualify in a national amateur event and I had hoped that with steady improvement to fulfill that ambition. “I shall certainly do my best at Minneapolis to reflect credit on the District in every way and it I am fortunate enough to qualify, 1 will endeavor to climb as far up the ladder in my match play rounds as it may be possible for me to get. “As for the investigation I have in my game I would be able this year | the l T 1 51 §—3. | charges of violat ick Butler of Miami, 6—3, In the mittee Se: nounced t of the Dixon of ry H.

And in the situation as it stands today many Washington players will find satisfaction that Voigt, acknowl- edged the superior of all golfers around the Capital, will have a chance to compete for the biggest title of them all—the national amateur cham- plonship. Voigt Merits Chance. Social considerations aside—and the case has assumed considerable propor- tions on this side of the picture— Voigt, by virtue of his splendid game alone, merits a chance to compete in the amateur classic. He will have that chance and doubtless will make a fine showing. It is asking too much of him that he win the national title. That is hardly possible to a man with as little national tournament experience as Voigt, but he should qualify and if favorably drawn in the match play rounds should make a good record for himself. Within a few hours Voigt will leave ‘Washington for Bar Harbor with his employer, there to stay until it is time o leave for Minneapolis and the ama- teur champlonship. Volgt broke his customary silence last night to issue a statement attack- ing the District of Columbia Golf As- sociation. Today he declared that neither he nor his counsel—E. C. Al- vord of the Bannockburn Golf Club— plan to take any further action in the case, both indicating that if any added move is to be made, it must come from the District association.

TWO D. C. GOLFERS LEFT IN MUNY TITLE TOURNEY Special Dispatch to The Star, LEVELAND, Ohio, August 5.— Survivors " of two hectic match play rounds in the opening tilt of the national public links title chase, Brad- ley H. Burrows, 20-year-old star, and John R. Miller, older and more ex- perienced, went into the third match play round in the championship today. Both men play over the rugged hills of Rock Creek Park in the Na- tional Capital and both came through to the third round today by surpris- ing and close victories. The other ‘Washington qualifier, Robert Burton of East Potomac Park, was on the sidelines, after losing a thrilling 19- hole match yesterday afternoon to Robert Wingate of Jacksonville, Fla. Burrows matched shots today with Willlam Serrick, 38-year-old New York star, who was once runner-up for the national public links title, ‘while Miller met Car]l Kauffman of Pittsburgh, runner-up to Lester Bol- stead for the title last year. Both ‘Washingtonians were on the short end of the betting odds, for their opponents are among the most noted public links performers. Kauffman has been installed as the favorite to win the title. Burrows won his first round match on the nineteenth hole from H. R. ‘Wilson of Kansas City, while Miller was downing George Thomas of Chi- cage, § and 8, and Burtom was drop- ping & desperate extra-hole engage- ment to Wingate of Florida. Then in the afternoon the youthful Burrows sprung the real sensation of the first day, downing the veteran public links star and former national titleholder, Richard A. Walsh of New York, on the last hole. Brilliant put- ting and courageous work around the greens won the match for the youth- ful Washingtonian, for Walsh hung up | a streak of one-putt greens that woul have daunted any one but the mo: persistent performer. Meanwhile Miller was having an easy time in his match with Johnny Florio of Columbus, whom he defeat- ed, 6 and 5. Burrows won four holes in a row, from the seventh through the eleventh, after being down over much of the first nine holes, to nose out Walsh on the home green. By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, August 5.—Although contestants in the national public links golf championship are usually referred to as boys, the eight players who remained today for the third round of match play were nearly all mature men. The only New York sur- vivor of yesterday two 18-hole matches rounds, Willlam Serrick, is 38 years old, ewhile the only youn; sters are Kendall Morrison of St. Joseph, Mo., and Bradley Burrows of ‘Washington, both 20.

Glo.Co outshone the field In medal play with a 36-hole score of 149, was eliminated in the first round, and with him dur- ing the day all the favorites except Karl Kauffman of Pittsburgh fell by the wayside. Kauffman had no eas! time getting through the second round winning from I. R. Davis of St. Louis on the last green, 2 up. He lost the eleventh hole with a birdie, as Davis sank a niblick shot from a trap for an eagle 2. The dean of the third Serrick, shot the best golf in yester- day's play, scoring an approximate 71 to best J. P. Sahre of New York, 2 and 1, and announced as he left the course: “Yes, the old man surprised the public again.” He was runner-up in the event once. Another star missing today was Dick Walsh of New York, a former champion, who succumbed to young Burrows, 1 down, in the second round, each scoring 76. Only two Western golfers remained for today's matches, Morrison and Frank Brokl of St. Paul, and one of them was bound for elimination, as they meet each other in the third round. Washington had two men in at the start of the third round, for, besides Burrows, J. R. Miller won his first two matches and came through to face Kauffman. Young Burrows meets Serrick. The fourth match was between Rob- ert Wingate of Jacksonville, Fla., who put out Robert Burton of Washington in 19 holes and Pat McDonough of Pittsburgh, himself a ninteenth-hole victor, and Edward Curtin of Newark, N.

Copyright, 1927.) {MODEL YACHT CLUB IS MAKING PROGRESS Washington Model Yacht Club, a compartively new organization devot- ed to a new sport here, is one of the many clubs being organized in this country following unusual success of similar organizations in foreign coun- tries. Interest in “baby” yachting is evi- denced in the fact that hundreds of miniature crafts competed in the in- ternational races held this week at Gosport, England, in which events an English model, Gerturde, nosed out Bostonian II, owned by John Black, commodore of the Boston Model Yacht Club._Germany's Berlin finished third. Marianne, representing France's st, crossed the line fourth. It was econd consecutive win for the Gertrude. The local club will hold its first regatta of the season on Sunday from 9 until 1 o'clock at the Child Welfare boat landing, on the Tidal Basin. Interest in the sport has grown rap- idly here, as it has in many other cities along the Atlantic Coast. Sev- eral score of business and scientific men of Washington have taken the sport very seriously the past two years, with the result that some fast models will be launched Sunday. In the first regatta of the local club, last Summer at Philadelphia, an invi- tation affair held in connection with the Sesquicentennial races, three of the little craft carried off honors, in- cluding first place. Alf G. Buhrman, secretary of the local club, is making arrangements for the regatta here. The yachts, measuring from 30 to 74 inches in length, will be exhibited before the regatta, Each hoat 1s modeled from some speed yacht, and models of the fastest hoats ‘in America and England are found among those comprising the local fleet. Perfecting the model craft itself is the smallest part of the sport. Much skill is required in sailing them, and remarkable speed s attained under expert guidance.
