THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. € 1931—PART FIVE. JULY 26, 3 Eight D. C. Golfers in Tests for Amateur : Tilden Lauds U. S. Davis Cup Policy PITTIS ONLY ONE WHO APPEARS “IN” Tryouts to Be Over Course of Hermitage Club in Richmond Tuesday. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. HERE may not be many of of them left in the tourna-| ment after dusk comes down on the Hermitage Country Club course Tuesday afternoon, but just at prcsen::’ there are eight Washington golf ers in the national amateur cham pionship, before the sectional qualification rounds start. These golfers, representing six clubs near the National Capital have entered in the sectional qualifying round to be played Thursday over the course of the Hermitage Club of Richmond and if two or three of them qualify for the major test scheduled to be played over the course of the Beverly Country Club at Chicago starting August 31, they will have done well. Most of the entrants from Washing- ton in the sectional rounds will leave | the Capital early tomorrow to get in a round or two of practice in advance of the 36-hole test on Tuesday that will determine their cligibility to play in the simon pure title chase for the crown to be vacated by Bobby Jones. They will step out Tuesday knowing that only six out of a feld of nineteen contest- ants can qualify, and that two or three of the starters are practically certain to make the grade. Those who will es: rounds are: Miller B. Stevinson and Thomas P. Bones, Columbia James G. Drain and Walter R. Mc- Callum, Washington. John' C. Shorey, Kenwood. J. William Harvey, Indian Spring. Harry G. Pitt, Manor. M. Parker Nolan, Congressional. Pitt Seems Certain. In view cf the fine game he has been g this year since he got out of early Spring rut, Harry Pitt is al- most _certain to qualify. So is Billy v the qualification P hi; Howell of Richmond, the middleatlantic | and Virgina State titleholder. So if | the dope runs true the others must play | for the other four places. And in them are such stars as Alex M. Knapp end Ernie Caldwell of Baltimore. | The goirg will be none too easy in the sectional rounds at Hermitage and already the dopesters have it that a| score of 154 or better will be required, tem of qualification is en- tirely new this year. In previous years | entry for the amateur championship Tas been based on the competitive record of the entrant.

He sallied to the net no more than two times, and although he met with success, he chose to remain on the base line. In his effort to put pace on the slow balls Barnes was shooting | cver, MacGuffin's returns either found the net or went beyond the base line. In the second set MacGuffin was only able to earn 10 points, while Barnes, in_winning all six games, scored 28 MacGuffin showed a flash of the form that characterized his playing earlier in the week in the first game of the first set.
