THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D O, MAY"S, 1929—PART 5. Golf Spotlighton Townand Country Club: Pare, Mangan Win Chevy Chase Tennis BALTIMORE EVENT CUTS DOWN FIELD Most of D. C. First Flight Men Entered in Local Play, However. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. The fast-moving tournament scene shifts over to the Town and Country Club this week, where President J. D.| Kaufman of the Bethesda organization and Chairman Iilch af the golf club | committee have prepared the way for | another stirring chapter in the realm | of local golf. The field at Town and Country Club wiil not be as productive of golfing class as that at Washington last, week, for, by a queer quick of the schedule makers, the tourney conflicts with that of the Baltimore Country Club, which is to start over the Five Farms course of the club on Thursday. Miller B. Stevinson, the District ama- teur king, who won the Baltimore tourney in 1926, and Albert R. Mac- Kenzie of Columbia will be missing | from the Town and Country Club event, | for they have agreed to play in the Baltimore tourney along With several | other leading Washington linksmen. Nevertheless the Town and Country Club will not lack class, for most of the normal first-flight players of the city have entered the event which starts on Tuesday. The tourney is one of the most popular of the season. The | Bethesda Club has become famous for | its hospitality and the spirit the mem- | bers put into the conduct of the tour- ney. Five flights of 16 will qualify Tuesday and Wednesday for the cus- tomary match play rounds to follow. Winter rules will be played by the; professional golfers who are to compete for $500 in cash prizes at the Harper Country Club on May 15. A. L. Houghton, the club professional, says the fairways are coming along in good shape, but that because the grass is sparse on some of the fairways the pros will be allowed to set the ball up. Twelve Washington professionals are 0 be invited to play in an 18-hole best- ball competition on May 15, with $300 to go to the winning pair and $200 to the pair who finish in second place. Later in the year Harper plans to go through with previously announced plans for a $2,500 open tourney, which is expected to bring to Washington many nationally famous professional golfers. Frank Hartig and R. Cliff McKimmie, Army, Navy and Marine Club profes- sionals, hope to avenge this afternoon a defeat given them two weeks ago by Tony Sylvester and A. L. Houghton, professionals at Bannockburn and Harper. The quartet will play an 18- hole exhibition match at the service club starting ;l go]‘clocuk this llt;rneo::y Houghton and Sylvester won al vlc“!:ry in the first match, but Hartig and McKimmie hope to turn the tables today. A. G. Stup, Bannockburn star, is fast acquiring a reputation as a long hitter. He convinced Walter W. Cunningham, Tree pro, that he can knock 11 far out in the great open last Thursday afternoon at ‘Washington. Some one had told Cun- ningham that Stup is quite a driver. Cunningham didn’t think he was so long, so the pair moved outside the griliroom door at the Washington Club. Stup teed up a ball and knocked it green and across the " thirteenth green, & ball that must have carried 240 yards. Cunningham didnt even take off his coat. He was satisfled that Stup could ‘hit the ball, and didn’t care to demon- strate his inability to match the Ban- nockburn man’s tee shot. Cunningham, by the way, grew up with W. H. Wood over at Washington as to playing sup) the two. The other day Wood claimed | he could beat Cunningham over his own course at Burning Tree, and Cun- ningham was not slow to accept the challenge. The match will be played shortly for a sizeable side bet. Veterans' Bureau golfers who com- | peted in the rain last Wednesday in the qualifying round of a tourney at the Argyle Country Club have been paired in match play which will be played over other courses. The first round of the match play must be con- cluded by May 15. Pairings in the tourney follow: First flight—R. A. Bishop vs. Norman J. Hall, Dr. W. W. Marr vs. Dr. H. R. Lipscomb, N. Laden vs. T. Pritchard v V. C. Deike, W. Lohr, George McCarthy vs. H. ley, C. Allen vs. G. H. Llewellyn. Second flight—J. E. Upp vs. Maj. W. W. Smith, P. H. McMurray vs. T. N. Sheebon, R. P. McCandlish vs. F. Brit- ton, H. L. Parkinson vs. F. Wilmet, W. Scott vs. George McGurn, I¥. E. G. Fuller vs. H. M. Seydel, C. Whelan vs. A. Brosseau, L. G. Beadsly vs. J. Brady. Women’s flight—Miss A. Hinderliter vs. Miss E. Almond, Miss Ora Smith vs. Mrs. M. Shipley. We do not recall having heard of a stunt similar to that recorded by Comdr. C. T. Lynes of Washington during the ‘Washington Club tournament last week, when Lynes had birdies on the third, eighth and tenth holes on two consecu- tive rounds of the course. Six birdies in two rounds is unusual enough, but to have them come on the same holes in consecutive rounds is remarkable, particularly on such tough par 4 holes as the third, eighth and tenth. The third hole is 451 yards in length, the eighth measures 459 yards and the tenth is 370 yards long, and one of the hardest par 4s on the course. Georgetown University golf team members, who played in the Washing- ton tournament last week. had their last taste of tournament competition for several weeks. Each week end henceforth until June they will be busy playing golf matches with other 7wi- leges or with club teams. Yeserday the Georgetown team played Pennsyl- vania and Princeton in one day. Dick Wilson, who beat Maurice J. Mc- Carthy, captain of the Hilltop team, in | the semi-final of the Washington event, is 18 years old and is a native of South- ern Pines, N. C.. where he learned his golf. Wilson is a brilliant player whose mistakes are usually rectified in terms of birdies. Bannockburn members are to com- pete today in another of the series of unique events arranged by Chairman W. Fred Byrne and his associates on the golf committee. The event will be a kicker's tourney, in which each player is to be alloyed to replay one shot on | each hole Indian Spring is to go ahead rapidly | with its new buflding program, endorsed | by the club membership at a meeting held Thursday night. A complete set of plans for additions and improvements 1o the present clubhouse are to be sub- mitted by a firm of architects. The old locker room and men’s grill will be moved bodily to a spot about 50 yards straight north of its present location be- tween the tenth and eleventh fairways. Prizes were presented at the conclu- sion of the Washington tourney last week by C. B. Garnett, a member of the club golf committee. Chairman Fred D. Paxton of the committee was ill and was unable to be at the club during -2 tourney.

Hardwick halved the six- teenth hole at Washington in the club tournament last week in a peculiar manner. His opponent had had trouble from the tee and finally reached the green in five shots, while Hardwick was over the green in two. Hardwick found on the bank over the green and blasted it out with a niblick to the far edge of the putting surface. The ball came out witn a great gob of mud adhering to it, and Hardwick was unable to get it in the hole in less than three putts. His opponent holed his putt and Hard- wick, who had outplayed him all the way, got only a half, later losing the match on the nineteenth.
