SPORT St Capital Club Likely to Get 1938 Maryland Women’s Golf Meet PLANS UNDER WAY 3 i | TOSEND TTHERE Baltimore Always Has Been | Host to Tourney—Change Due in Men’s Play. BY W. R. McCALLUM. HE Maryland women's golf championship, which Wash- ington women have dominated for several years past, probably will come to a Capital club in 1938 Ever since the tournament was started, more than 20 years ago, it has been | plaved at Baltimore clubs, but nego- tiations now are under way to stage it at one of the Washington clubs next time. Helen Dettweiler, Congressional Country Club lassie, holds the title. She won the crown in an all-Wash- ington final at the Baltimore Country Club 1n June, licking Elizabeth Hough- ton of Chevy Chase in the ultimate | round. Last year Mrs. Betty P. Meckley garnered the State title for the second time, In all the years Washington women have been competing for the Mary- land crown they've traveled back and forth between the Capital and Balti- mare. But next vear they won't have to do s0 much traveling. It will be plaved in Washington territory for the first time The tournament is run by a group of women operating as a committee representing the Maryland State Golf Association, which sponsors the cham- pionship. May Modify Man's Event. \T THE same time the Maryland 4} State association is looking over PAst tournaments and their entry lists with & view to taking the men's title tourney out of the marathen class and putting it back into a three-day af- fair, which won't make so much of a physical demand on the competitors. As it stands now. with a 36-hole medal round and 32 men ‘o qualify for three davs of match play, including 8 36-hole final, the Maryland State tourney is a consicerable test of en- | durance. That, as much as anything €lse. may be the reason for the small fields of the Jast few years. The championship in June at the Manor Coun Club, drew about 30 entrants. The Marviand solons want more contestants and they should have them, but it's doubiful if they'll get more until they make it an affair in which a golfing guy won't have to walk so far get anyvwhere. Next vear they probably will open with an 18-hole qualification round. to be fol- Inwed by five match-play rounds, all at 18 holes, Any man who can't qualfy in the first 32 at 18 holes doesn't deserve » be in the top flight. The latitude is wide enough and there aren't-any po- tential winners who might miss qual- ifving in such a big group.
