Houghton himself, holder of the title for the last three years, | is glad of the chance to play against | the leading pros and doesn't object to ! the widening of the scope of the tour- | ney, even though it may deprive him | of his Maryland crown. For years the Maryland open has been limited to pros connected with clubs in the Old | Line State, but this year the affair has been thrown wide open, and any | pro or amateur may enter. “The more the better, and I hope they all play | well,” Houghton said. “If I play well, | I may win again. Who knows.” Entries are being received at tourna- ment headquarters at the Emerson Hotel in Baltimore. The fee is five bucks. The tourney will be played starting September 13, over the same | course on which the Middle Atlantic | pros today were competing in a little pro sweepstakes affair.
