Old Cronies at Columbia Club Mourn Death of Cy Cummings HEY buried Cy Cummings to- day. From a church banked high with flowers, out in Chevy Chase, where Cy grew up, and man and boy, was the best- known personage in Montgomery County, they buried the kindly philos- opher of Cummings lane. But to the thousands of folk who had known the genial presence of the towering man who presided over the Laurel race track and who was one of the characters of the Columbia Country Club, Cy isn't dead. They'll be looking for him in the years to come, his old cronies there at Co- lumbia, men like Ed Walsh, Lindley Sinclair, Frank Keyes, Ben Skinker, Pop Baines, John Walker, Red Ban- agan, Fred McLeod, Paul Stewart, Albert MacKenzie, Miller Stevinson and s0 many others who loved and edmired him. They'll remember his philosophy, his habit of making a fellow feel at ease, his homely slants on the little things of life, his keen mind on all gporting matters and his ability to make three of a kind look like two small pair. Cy Was “Sporting Folks.” CY ‘WASN'T altogether a politician. He was, in the parlance of a gray-haired Negro who used to chauf- feur for him, “spo'ting folks. of | late years Cy hadn't played golf. il health had two strikes on him for years before he died a few days ago cn the old farm on Cummings Lane. ’ But 10 years and more ago big, jovial Cy could southpaw his way around Columbia’s tough golf course in fig- ures that many men would envy. He never was a crack golfer like Stevinson and some of the others. But when he broke 85 he was as happy, to use one of his own phrases, as a pig in a potato field. Years ago Cy used to be the chief speechmaker and master of ceremon- ies at all the little golf doings around Columbia and at some of the other clubs near Washington. No big golf tournament was complete without a few words from the tall oak of Mont- gomery County. But they broke Cy's heart over at Baltimore a few years ago by dis- qualifying him because he was a few minutes late for a golf match, and Cy dropped out of golf tournaments. That sort of stuff was too small for the big heart of Cy Cummings. He played golf for the fun he got out of it, and what mattered a few min- utes to a guy in the fifth flight. Columbia Will Miss Him. HE ALWAYS was out there at Co- lumbia whenever they had any kind of golf affair, his booming voice offering congratulations to the win- ners and his big heart giving a kindly pat on the back to the losers. Cy was the kind of character you'll never for- ret. He played the game straight and right down the line to the last putt. They'll miss Cy around Columbia— probably more than any man has been missed there in many years. A | the king | | He trimmed L.
