But physical effort is not. In spie of this fact practically every golfer who practices does so foillowing a round. With 18 holes back of him he begins the job of ironing out a fault. That is contrary to the customs of the stars. Note them at any championship, and they do their practicing and warming up before the round.

McCALLUM- ant pro at Indian Spring, stood a good chance to qualify in the National Open champlonship as he stocd yesterday afternoon on the tenth tee at Rich- mond. But the strokes bepan to slip away from him around the putting greens and before he knew it instead of the 71 he seemed certain to make, he had piled up a 74. Even at that George still had a chance to qualify until George Slingerland, tall, blonde boy from Greensboro, N. C., came in with a 73 to total 152 and shut George out of the tournament by two strokes. That was just one of the tragedies at Richmond yesterday when seven Wash- ington golfers attempted to qualify for the National Open championship, and one made the grade. All of the boys had trouble on those keen putting sur- faces at Richmond yesterday, but of them all George tossed away the best chance, next to Al Houghton's win- wing 150. The upshot of the qualifying rounds held at Richmond, Pittsburgh and Phil- adelphia, where 11 Washington players made thé attempt to qualify, was that Houghton qualified at Richmond with 150; and Fred McLeod of Columbia and J. Munro Hunter of Indian Spring qualified at Pittsburgh with cards of 155 and 156. Those who failed at Rich- mond were Diffenbaugh, Mel Shorey of | East Potomac Park, Al Treder of | Manor, J. Willlam Harvey, amateur, of | Indian’ Spring; A. B. Thorn of Wood- mont and Walter W. Cunningham of Burning Tree. Thuse wno failed at Pittsburgh were Bob Barnett of Chevy Chase and Sandy Armour of Congres- sional. So Washington will be represented in the National Open at Toledo by three fine golfers. The three are apt to be near the top in any competition and they are about the best in this part of the land. McLeod shot a score of 81 in the morning at Oakmont and was on the 1agged edge. But he followed with a fine 74.in the afternoon to get safely in. Hunter scored 80 and 76. Down at Richmond Houghton literally burned up the first nine holes with a subpar 33, picking up three birdles on the -nine, only to finish with a ragged 5 on the seventeenth, where he tookfour putts and a bad 6 on the eighteenth. He stood on the seventeenth tee needing | 35 for a 70, but his putter went haywire on the seventeenth and he mi his third shot at the eighteenth. Never- theless, with the impetus of his 73 in | the morning he went out in the after- noon and coasted in with a 77 to lead | the Richmond qualifiers. Only one stroke behind him was Pat Petranck of | Reidsville, N. C., a veteran of golf around Richmond and a former Virginia | State champion. Petranck shot a 74 in the morning round and 77 in the after- noon. Diffenbaugh was fourth, two strokes behind Slingerland, with cards of 80 and 74, and Mel Shorey had put- ter trouble in the afternoon to score a 77 for a 155 total. Al Treder of Manor had 79 and 81 for 160, Harvey was 83 and 82 for 165 and Thorn and Cunning- | ham, after turning in cards of 82 and | 86 in the first round, picked up in the largest tournament ever played about this section of the land. Roger Peacock of Argyle had 78, Ted Burrows, unat- tached, had 77, and Thorpe Drsin. of ‘Washington had 79.. One of the trage- dies of the tournament was the 82 reg- istered by Miller B. Stevinson, Colum- bia veteran who has twice won the tro- phy. That score probably will not qualify. TITLE GOLF PLAY STARTS Women's Dixie Tourney Under Way at Princess Anne. VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., June 9 (#). —After yesterday's postponement be- cause of rain, the 18-hole qualifying round of the twentieth annual Southern women’s golf championship starts over the Princess Anne Country Club course here today. Margaret Maddox, Atlanta, and Mrs. Marion Turple Lake, New Orleans, the co-medalists last year and both former champions, together with Mrs. Ruth Reymond, New Orleans, and Mrs. Helen Lownes Lumpkin, Atlanta, also previous winners, are included in the field of more than 100 golfers seeking eligibility to enter championship match play Wednesday. The defending champion, Mrs. David Gaut of Memphis will be among the spectators today, having accepted her right to enter match play without qaul- ifying. ‘The 31 low scorers will try for the championship group, and tomorrow's selective round of match play will di- vide these interchampionships and the first flight of 16 cach for further com- petition. Last year both Miss Maddox and Mrs. Lake tied with 79s, Mrs. Lake winning the qualifying trcphy after a play-off. Par on this course for women |15 76, and Mrs. Lake's 79 in practice set a course recerd. STAR IN WOMAN'S TENNIS Reba Kirson Expected to Make Strong Bid in Tourney. Reba Kirson, former Baltimore player, is among those expected to make a strong showing in the annual Women's District Tennis League tourney, which opens tomorrow on the Rock Creek courts. She now is living in Warren- ton, Va., but has been playing in some District League matches this season. Josephine Dunham, now married and living in New York, will not defend her tif Florence Krucoff, No. 1 Dis- trict player, who it was thought might enter, also is out of the picture. She has let it be known she will take part in_no tournaments this season. Entries will close this evening at 6| o'clock, with Mrs. H. Clay Thompson, 6408 Tecchwood drive, Chevy Chase, Md., telephone Wisconsin 3579. Only members of the league may compete. TREASURY NETMEN WIN.

ILBERT HUNT, seeded No. 1, and Pete Allnutt were to face this afternoon in the last semi- final singles match in the boys’ division of the junior and boys' Dis- triet tennis championships on the Rock Creek courts. Play was to start at 3 o'clock. Competition in the junior doubles also was to get under way this after- noon There will be no boys' doubles, but all within the junior limit were eligible. Twelve teams were entered, with the first matches slated for 3 o'clock. It was the first junior doubles competition here since 1925. Ricky Willis and Charles Daly comprised the top seeded duo. Ricky Willis and Al Perkins, a dark horse, came through with dramatic wins yesterday in the junior group. Willis conquered Happy Jacob, who trimmed Joe Dial, surprise winner over Clyde Smith, seeded No. 1, in the opening day’s play. Willis downsd Jacobs, 6—4, 6—2, in the fourth round, and Perkins bested Nicholson, prep school champ, 6—1, 6—4, in the third round, in a real upset. Nathan Ritzenberg gained the final in the boys' singles when he vanquished little Bob Doyle of the famed Doyle tennis family, 6—4, 9—7. ‘Willis was generally superior to Jacobs yesterday, while Nicholson was unable to_get going in falling before Perkins. Doyle, son of Lou Doyle, showed plenty of promise, but needs more stat- ure and strength. ‘Today's schedule and yesterday’s sum- | maries: SCHEDULE. Junior.
