Chick Evans, Old Man Ri ver of Golf, in Running for Western Amateur Crown Seeks His Ninth Title In 24 Years ol Play; Bemoans Proism R. Brownell Sets Prelim Pace With Only Par Score Among 63 I By LOUDON KELLY, Associated Press Sports Writer. COLORADO SPRINGS. Coltk, #uly 2.—Chick Evans is the Old Man River of golf. He keeps on rollin’ in his mild-voiced, leisurely way. The friendly Chicago veteran, for- mer National Open and Amateur champion, is here competing for the 24th year in the Western Amateur championships. Nobody still playing competitive golf has been at it as long as Chick. He first played in the Western in 1906, long before most of this year's contestants were born. He has won it eight times, including a four-year Btreak ending in 1923. Evans in Top Third. Evans shot a respectable 39-36-75, five over par on Broadmoor’s moun- tain-framed fairways in the first leg of his 36-hole qualifying tests yes- terday, which placed him in the top third of the slim field of 63. Another such performance today seems sure to land the veteran in the match play bracket of Defending Champion Marvin (Bud) Ward of Spokane, Wash., and the 31 low shooters for 36 holes. Evans shakes his head over some of the changes the years have brought in golf and contends that the national intercollegiate meet "is the only real amateur tournament we have left.” Five tall Stanford University youngsters underlined his assertion with their work yesterday, all shoot- ing 75 or better, although four of them had no chance to try the deceptive course beforehand. Rav Brownell Tops Field. Ray Brownell, shy 6-foot 3-inch sophomore from Monterey, Calif., who was runner-up for the national collegiate title Saturday, led the field at the halfway stage with the day's only par round—37—33—70. Gordon Hough. San Francisco senior, rattled off a 71: Dee Replogle of Oklahoma City a 72 and their teammates. Frank Tatum of Los Angeles and Warden Berl of San Francisco, 75 each. Also in at 71 were Ward, Harry Todd of Dallas, who won the West- ern crown two years ago. and John Stammer. Oklahoma champion from Oklahoma City. John Kraft of Den- ver, Vern Stewart of Albuquerque and L. B. <Bud> Maytag of Colorado Springs were grouped with Replogle at 72. Ward as defending champion did not have to qualify, but decided to try to win the medal. Crooner Bing Crosby, who re- ported a 76. said he had to leave by train today for Hollywood and his Thursday broadcast. Ellsworth Vines, lanky tennis professional, also scored a 76.

P-Q.i B-Q3 In the recent interclub match between Washington Chess Divan and Federal Se- curity Chess Club the respective club champions clashed at board No. 1 and drew their game by a repetition of moves. There are six ways to draw a chess game. Repetition of moves real y means recurrence of position. This rule reads: “By recurrence of position when the same position occurs three times in the game, and the same person is player on each occasion and if such player claim ihe draw before the position is altered by further olay. otherwise no claim can be sustained. iFor the purpose of this clause there shall be no distinction between the king and qupen rooks and knights, or between the original pieces and pieces of the same denomination and colour ob- tained through the promotion of pawns.) Cited from International Chess Laws, No. 16. Par. ic>. Technically, for the above game to be a draw. Knapp would have had to com- plete the 31st move with Q-Kt:t and claimed the draw. Or Nash would have had to Play. 32 Kt-R4 and claimed a draw. Reshevsky Joiris Benedicts. Samuel Reshevsky, thrice open tournament and match champion at chess of these United States, was married June 24 to Norma Mindick, daughter of Morris and Ida Mindick of Roxbury, Mass. Reshevsky is the Polish “boy won- der" who first came to this country 21 years ago and astounded chess experts by defeating them simul- taneously when he scarcely was tall enough to see a chessboard on an ordinary table.

ROD and STREAM ACKERMAN Bay Full of Fish, All Temperamental Potomac's Crappie Good Fighters Angling possibilities have broad- ened in the past week until it ap- pears that all that is necessary' now is to pick the species and the place— and go fishing. However, fish, like humans, are temperamental. Those who fished Upper Chesapeake Bay on Sunday know it only too well, for through- out the day the fish refused to ac- cept any kind of bait. Boats fished the inshore waters as well as the channel and excepting a 2-pound hardhead Henry Rupp snagged while drifting over a deep oyster bed, there wasn’t another fish of any kind caught until a squall broke at 5:30. Afterward, it was a free-for-all. It wasn't possible to drop a baited hook over the side without catching one. The boats literally loaded up. So far as we know, like conditions prevailed in other sections of the Chesapeake. With a continuance of the hot days and squally evenings the fish are apt to remain temperamental. They usually feed sometime during every 24 hours. Strike the right time and the chances are unlimited, for never have there been more fish in the bay than now. The locale of the striper fishing at Solomons is, for the time being, at Cedar Point at the mouth of the Patuxent. Capt. Ed Bowen's boats, excepting those which prefer the faster action of hardhead fishing in the steamboat channel, have been taking them up to three pounds in weight and 30 to the catch by chumming with shore shrimp. The schools usually stay on these grounds for long periods, but with a waxing moon the big fellows at Town Point and Point Patience should soon be receptive to soft crab baits. Crappie Provide Good Sport. Crappie in this section are game fish of the first order. In the fast water of the Potomac above Wash- ington, we would place them on a par with bass. They are a far finer table fish. To rate their fighting ability equal to that of bass will draw the ire of every dyed-in-the-wool black bass fisherman, but that’s our opinion. There is no doubt about the delicate flavor of their flesh. An Arlington angler, W. C. Gorges, with live bait caught under Colum- bian Island a crappie weighing 2 pounds just this past week. And that is quite a crappie. We believe fresh water anglers would like more of this fishing. If you'll take our word for it, they're real fun. Glenn Leach, chief culturist of the Fish and Wildlife Service, is already to raise them in large numbers at nearby Federal hatcheries, providing he can obtain brood stock from these waters. Seining for them almost is impossible, although eight were ob- tained in this manner two years ago and made possible the release of many thousands of fry. Any caught and kept alive in aerated bait pails may be left at the Department of Commerce Aquarium. When a sufficient num- ber is accumulated they will be sent to the Leetown hatchery7. The re- sulting fry will be planted in these waters. Crappie will rise to a fly and theyll take bait equally well. Stocked in a stream like Rock Creek they would provide considerable sport for youngsters as well as grownups. They will thrive there, too, as easily as in the deeper Potomac. Ocean City Boats Scarce. We consistently have maintained this will be a real marlin year at Ocean City. We believe with the same interest shown List year the first fish would have been catight a week or 10 days earlier. The total catch for the season will not ap- proach the top year of 1938-39 be- cause the boats are not there this year. Most of the Chincoteague boats have been placed in the Coast Guard service for' patrol duty. Many Florida skippers are staying down because anglers have learned that summer weather and summer fish- ing in South Florida is far better than they get during the winter months. Too, they dislike the long run offshore at Ocean City, not be- cause of the hazard, but for the in- creased cost of the long runs and the longer hours required. A new city tax on dock space for marlin boats this year isn’t going to help the game any. In fact, it is going to keep some boats away and Ocean City cannot afford to lose a single boat. Marlin fishing didn't found this grand little seashore re- sort, but it has been the means of attracting thousands of desirable visitors. Capt. Crawford Savage has eight charter boats in his basin this year, instead of 20 or more. Capt. Talbot Bunting with four at his Talbot street pier and Capt. Lev Raymond at the yacht club basin complete the fleet at present. Capt. Vic Lance is supposed to be on his way up from Southpoit. Not much of a fleet for the great numbers of anglers who have gone for this fishing, hook, line and sinker. It means those who make their reservations will go fishing. The re- mainder will stand on the docks and watch them come in—every day the weather is fit to fish. THKEE-ETK LEAGUE. Moline. 11: Decatur, 6. Springfield. 16; Evansville, 4.

Making his first appearance at the nearby Maryland bowl, Dickey fin- ished second in both his qualifying heat and semifinal and then came from behind in the 30-lap feature to win by little more than the length of his trim little Offenhauser. His vic- tory was a popular one, especially since just before the big race he lent a motor part to Ernie Gesell, leading driver in the East, His generosity was wasted, however, because' Gesell’s bug refused to budge and after a 15-minute delay he withdrew. A crowd of 5,100, something less than the inaugural throng of 8.000 last week, was on hand and experi- enced comparatively little trouble reaching the stadium and in parking, in contrast to opening night. Len Duncan of Brooklyn forged to the front at the start of last night’s feature and held his position with Dickey right behind until the 15th lap. Then Dickey made his bid, and riding high on the turn, drove down in front. Duncan tried to pass him several times after the 25th lap, but Dickey held to his advantageous pole position. The winning time of 7 minutes 30.76 seconds was almost a minute slower than the winning time turned in last week by Mike Joseph of Philadelphia, who finished fourth last night. Henry Steiger of Brooklyn, who finished first ahead of Dickey in the semifinal, took third. Federal Ringerifes, In 100-Shoe Test, To Form Loops Groups to Be Organized According to Ability After Play Tonight Uncle Sam's employes are hot after a lot of things these days, the latest being horseshoe pitch- ing laurels. An even dozen to- night will fire away on the illumi- nated courts opposite the Com- merce Building in a 100-shoe test, after which they will be grouped into leagues according to relative ability. The leagues will operate under the auspices of the Departmental Horseshoe Pitchers’ Association, of which Kermit E. Goodyer of the Civil Service Commission is presi- dent; Walter N. Haley, vice presi- dent, and Irwin Carlberg, secretary- treasurer. With all three associat- ed at the commission, the associa- tion's officers are working in a manner that augurs well for the newest organization in Washing- tons expanding ringer realm. Three-Man Team Circuit. One lpague will be an all-star af- fair, with each department repre- sented by a team of three. At stake will be the perpetual trophy won in 1939 by Agriculture and last year by War. All Government employes are eligible for tonight's test, which will get under way at 7:30 o'clock. The league rosters will be drawn up at a meeting next Tuesday night at 8 o'clock in The Star sports de- partment. The all-star Metropolitan Singles League, in existence many years, will make a tardy start because of governmental transfers from Wash- ington and Army service of some of its outstanding stars. Prelude to Star's Tourney. The Federal pitchers' activities will be a prelude to the annual Evening Star championships, sched- uled later this month, which will determine the championships of Northern Virginia, Southern Mary- land. the District of Columbia and the Metropolitan Area. Among newcomers expected to make it hot for the established stars are Phillip Akard from Indiana and Melvin Penewell from New Jersey, both of whom distinguished them- selves in home competition.

A. Golf Pros Support of Simon Pures Sought, With All to Be Graded Same Way Middle Atlantic professional golf- ers are bothered about the handi- caps of the amateurs who play in their association-sponsored pro- amateur tourneys and are consider- ing drastic measures to get the sup- port of the amateurs without jeop- ardizing the future of their events. First move the Executive Com- mittee of the Middle Atlantic P. G. A. has made is to blanket all ama- teur golfers who have handicaps of 6 strokes or less into one group. This group will play from scratch, even though there will be plenty of inequities in this situation also. Calkins System Favored. Second is to consider barring from all future association tourneys ama- teurs whose handicaps are not based on the Calkins system of handicap- ping. This system is the official system of both the District and Maryland links associations, but there have been some deviations from it in favor of high handicaps for members of one or two clubs. A1 Houghton, tournament chair- man for the Washington area of the Middle Atlantic P. G. A., does not charge any phenagling on handicaps, but he will recommend that in future P. G. A. tourneys the handicaps of the amateurs must be based on the Calkins system, which in a general sense is based on the average of the three best scores. Some local clubs, according to Houghton, have deviated from this system and use the all-score handi- capping method, which gives a cross-section of the players’ game, based on high and low scores, as well as the general average. Amateur Support Sought. The Middle Atlantic P. G. A. wants amateur support and will go far to get It. But it does not want support, Houghton says, at the ex- pense of men whose handicaps are fairly and properly regulated. The amateurs have been intVed to play in the Baltimore open tour- ney. July 14.,and their support will be sought in the P. G. A. cham- pionship at Richmond in October.

Chick Evans, Old Man Ri ver of Golf, in Running for Western Amateur Crown Seeks His Ninth Title In 24 Years ol Play; Bemoans Proism

R. Brownell Sets Prelim Pace With Only Par Score Among 63

I By LOUDON KELLY,

Associated Press Sports Writer.

COLORADO SPRINGS. Coltk, #uly 2.—Chick Evans is the Old Man River of golf. He keeps on rollin’ in his mild-voiced, leisurely way.

The friendly Chicago veteran, for- mer National Open and Amateur

champion, is here competing for the 24th year in the Western Amateur

championships. Nobody still playing competitive golf has been at it as

long as Chick. He first played in the Western in

1906, long before most of this year's contestants were born. He has won

it eight times, including a four-year Btreak ending in 1923.

Evans in Top Third. Evans shot a respectable 39-36-75,

five over par on Broadmoor’s moun- tain-framed fairways in the first leg of his 36-hole qualifying tests yes- terday, which placed him in the top third of the slim field of 63.

Another such performance today seems sure to land the veteran in the match play bracket of Defending Champion Marvin (Bud) Ward of Spokane, Wash., and the 31 low shooters for 36 holes.

Evans shakes his head over some

of the changes the years have brought in golf and contends that the national intercollegiate meet "is the only real amateur tournament we have left.”

Five tall Stanford University youngsters underlined his assertion with their work yesterday, all shoot- ing 75 or better, although four of them had no chance to try the deceptive course beforehand.

Rav Brownell Tops Field. Ray Brownell, shy 6-foot 3-inch

sophomore from Monterey, Calif., who was runner-up for the national collegiate title Saturday, led the field at the halfway stage with the day's only par round—37—33—70. Gordon Hough. San Francisco senior, rattled off a 71: Dee Replogle of Oklahoma City a 72 and their teammates. Frank Tatum of Los Angeles and Warden Berl of San

Francisco, 75 each. Also in at 71 were Ward, Harry

Todd of Dallas, who won the West- ern crown two years ago. and John Stammer. Oklahoma champion from Oklahoma City. John Kraft of Den- ver, Vern Stewart of Albuquerque and L. B. <Bud> Maytag of Colorado Springs were grouped with Replogle at 72.

Ward as defending champion did not have to qualify, but decided to try to win the medal.

Crooner Bing Crosby, who re-

ported a 76. said he had to leave by train today for Hollywood and his Thursday broadcast. Ellsworth Vines, lanky tennis professional, also scored a 76.

In the recent interclub match between Washington Chess Divan and Federal Se- curity Chess Club the respective club champions clashed at board No. 1 and drew their game by a repetition of moves.

There are six ways to draw a chess game. Repetition of moves real y means recurrence of position. This rule reads:

“By recurrence of position when the same position occurs three times in the game, and the same person is player on

each occasion and if such player claim ihe draw before the position is altered by further olay. otherwise no claim can be sustained. iFor the purpose of this clause there shall be no distinction between the king and qupen rooks and knights, or

between the original pieces and pieces of the same denomination and colour ob- tained through the promotion of pawns.) Cited from International Chess Laws, No. 16. Par. ic>.

Technically, for the above game to be a draw. Knapp would have had to com-

plete the 31st move with Q-Kt:t and claimed the draw. Or Nash would have had to Play. 32 Kt-R4 and claimed a

draw.

ROD and STREAM ACKERMAN

Bay Full of Fish, All Temperamental Potomac's Crappie Good Fighters

Angling possibilities have broad- ened in the past week until it ap- pears that all that is necessary' now is to pick the species and the place— and go fishing.

However, fish, like humans, are temperamental. Those who fished Upper Chesapeake Bay on Sunday know it only too well, for through- out the day the fish refused to ac-

cept any kind of bait. Boats fished the inshore waters as well as the channel and excepting a 2-pound hardhead Henry Rupp snagged while drifting over a deep oyster bed, there wasn’t another fish of any kind caught until a squall broke at 5:30.

Afterward, it was a free-for-all. It wasn't possible to drop a baited hook over the side without catching one. The boats literally loaded up. So far as we know, like conditions prevailed in other sections of the Chesapeake.

With a continuance of the hot days and squally evenings the fish are apt to remain temperamental. They usually feed sometime during every 24 hours. Strike the right time and the chances are unlimited, for never have there been more fish in the bay than now.

The locale of the striper fishing

at Solomons is, for the time being, at Cedar Point at the mouth of the Patuxent. Capt. Ed Bowen's boats, excepting those which prefer the faster action of hardhead fishing in the steamboat channel, have been taking them up to three pounds in

weight and 30 to the catch by chumming with shore shrimp. The schools usually stay on these grounds for long periods, but with a waxing moon the big fellows at Town Point and Point Patience should soon be receptive to soft crab baits.

Crappie Provide Good Sport. Crappie in this section are game

fish of the first order. In the fast water of the Potomac above Wash- ington, we would place them on a par with bass. They are a far finer table fish. To rate their fighting ability equal to that of bass will draw the ire of every dyed-in-the-wool black bass fisherman, but that’s our opinion. There is no doubt about the delicate flavor of their flesh.

An Arlington angler, W. C. Gorges, with live bait caught under Colum- bian Island a crappie weighing 2 pounds just this past week. And that is quite a crappie. We believe fresh water anglers would like more of this fishing. If you'll take our word for it, they're real fun.

Glenn Leach, chief culturist of the Fish and Wildlife Service, is already to raise them in large numbers at nearby Federal hatcheries, providing he can obtain brood stock from these waters. Seining for them almost is impossible, although eight were ob- tained in this manner two years ago and made possible the release of many thousands of fry.

Any caught and kept alive in aerated bait pails may be left at the Department of Commerce Aquarium. When a sufficient num- ber is accumulated they will be sent to the Leetown hatchery7. The re- sulting fry will be planted in these waters.

Crappie will rise to a fly and theyll take bait equally well. Stocked in a stream like Rock Creek they would provide considerable sport for youngsters as well as grownups. They will thrive there, too, as easily as in the deeper Potomac.

Ocean City Boats Scarce. We consistently have maintained

this will be a real marlin year at Ocean City. We believe with the same interest shown List year the first fish would have been catight a week or 10 days earlier. The total catch for the season will not ap- proach the top year of 1938-39 be- cause the boats are not there this year.

Most of the Chincoteague boats have been placed in the Coast Guard service for' patrol duty. Many Florida skippers are staying down because anglers have learned that summer weather and summer fish- ing in South Florida is far better than they get during the winter months. Too, they dislike the long run offshore at Ocean City, not be- cause of the hazard, but for the in- creased cost of the long runs and the longer hours required.

A new city tax on dock space for marlin boats this year isn’t going to help the game any. In fact, it is going to keep some boats away and Ocean City cannot afford to lose a

single boat. Marlin fishing didn't found this grand little seashore re- sort, but it has been the means of attracting thousands of desirable visitors.

Capt. Crawford Savage has eight charter boats in his basin this year, instead of 20 or more. Capt. Talbot Bunting with four at his Talbot street pier and Capt. Lev Raymond at the yacht club basin complete the fleet at present. Capt. Vic Lance is supposed to be on his way up from Southpoit.

Not much of a fleet for the great numbers of anglers who have gone for this fishing, hook, line and sinker. It means those who make their reservations will go fishing. The re- mainder will stand on the docks and watch them come in—every day the weather is fit to fish.

Dickey Midget Auto Idol After Daring Win at Lanham

Crowd of 5,100 Finds Conditions Improved; Duncan Runnerup

Lyle Dickey, young California midget auto driver, has caught the fancy of Washington doodlebug fans with a nervy brand of pedal pushing and until some one else comes along to eclipse his performace last night at West Lanham Speedway hell reign as a favorite with Capital

j speed addicts. Making his first appearance at the

nearby Maryland bowl, Dickey fin- ished second in both his qualifying heat and semifinal and then came

from behind in the 30-lap feature to

win by little more than the length of his trim little Offenhauser. His vic- tory was a popular one, especially since just before the big race he lent a motor part to Ernie Gesell, leading driver in the East, His generosity was wasted, however, because' Gesell’s bug refused to budge and after a 15-minute delay he withdrew.

A crowd of 5,100, something less than the inaugural throng of 8.000 last week, was on hand and experi- enced comparatively little trouble reaching the stadium and in parking, in contrast to opening night.

Len Duncan of Brooklyn forged to the front at the start of last night’s feature and held his position with Dickey right behind until the 15th

lap. Then Dickey made his bid, and riding high on the turn, drove down in front. Duncan tried to pass him

several times after the 25th lap, but Dickey held to his advantageous pole position. The winning time of 7 minutes 30.76 seconds was almost a

minute slower than the winning time turned in last week by Mike Joseph of Philadelphia, who finished fourth last night. Henry Steiger of Brooklyn, who finished first ahead of Dickey in the semifinal, took third.

Federal Ringerifes, In 100-Shoe Test, To Form Loops

Groups to Be Organized According to Ability After Play Tonight

Uncle Sam's employes are hot after a lot of things these days, the latest being horseshoe pitch- ing laurels. An even dozen to- night will fire away on the illumi- nated courts opposite the Com- merce Building in a 100-shoe test, after which they will be grouped into leagues according to relative

ability. The leagues will operate under

the auspices of the Departmental Horseshoe Pitchers’ Association, of which Kermit E. Goodyer of the Civil Service Commission is presi- dent; Walter N. Haley, vice presi- dent, and Irwin Carlberg, secretary- treasurer. With all three associat- ed at the commission, the associa- tion's officers are working in a

manner that augurs well for the

newest organization in Washing- tons expanding ringer realm.

Three-Man Team Circuit. One lpague will be an all-star af-

fair, with each department repre- sented by a team of three. At stake will be the perpetual trophy won

in 1939 by Agriculture and last year by War.

All Government employes are

eligible for tonight's test, which will get under way at 7:30 o'clock. The league rosters will be drawn up at a meeting next Tuesday night at 8 o'clock in The Star sports de-

partment. The all-star Metropolitan Singles

League, in existence many years, will make a tardy start because of

governmental transfers from Wash- ington and Army service of some

of its outstanding stars.

Prelude to Star's Tourney. The Federal pitchers' activities

will be a prelude to the annual Evening Star championships, sched- uled later this month, which will determine the championships of Northern Virginia, Southern Mary- land. the District of Columbia and the Metropolitan Area.

Among newcomers expected to make it hot for the established stars are Phillip Akard from Indiana and Melvin Penewell from New Jersey, both of whom distinguished them- selves in home competition.

Greenberg, Moylan First in Quarters of College Tennis By the Associated Press.

MONTCLAIR. N. J., July 2 —

With two seeded entries already in the quarter-final round, interest in today's play in the Eastern inter- collegiate men's singles tennis championship centered on efforts of their fellow favorites to reach the bracket of eight.

Seymour Greenberg of North- western and Edward Moylan of Spring Hill College, Ala., Nos. 2 and 7 respectively, earned a day of rest by pushing through the third round by straight-set victories over two Southern Methodist entries. Green- berg downed William Wilkins, 6—2, 6—1; Moylan eliminated Fred Hig- ginbotham, 7—5, 6—2.

Defending champion and top- seeded George Toley of Southern California, meets Raymond Moats of Muhlenberg today. Toley had a hard 6—4. 6—4 tussle with William Gifford of Cornell yesterday.

Frank Mehner of the University of Utah. No. 3, who downed Steve Ham of Princton, 6—3. 6—3 yester- day, faces Richard Seeler of St. Lawrence, while fourth-seeded Ron- ald Edwards of San Jose State Col- lege takes on Maurice Fincher of the University of Texas. Edwards scored over Elston Wyatt of Navy, 6—3, 4—6, 6—0.

D. C. Golfers Look to Big July 4; Fort Meade Seeking Team To Take on Clubs Here

By WALTER McCALLUM. Washington's private courses and

public links again will be densely populated with good golfers and duf- fers Friday, when all clubs stage July 4 tournaments, and the public courses—as usual—play to their big- gest midseason throngs.

Calkins Handicapping For Amateurs Asked 8y M. A. Golf Pros

Support of Simon Pures Sought, With All to Be Graded Same Way

Middle Atlantic professional golf- ers are bothered about the handi- caps of the amateurs who play in their association-sponsored pro- amateur tourneys and are consider- ing drastic measures to get the sup- port of the amateurs without jeop- ardizing the future of their events.

First move the Executive Com- mittee of the Middle Atlantic P. G. A. has made is to blanket all ama- teur golfers who have handicaps of 6 strokes or less into one group. This group will play from scratch, even though there will be plenty of inequities in this situation also.

Calkins System Favored. Second is to consider barring from

all future association tourneys ama-

teurs whose handicaps are not based on the Calkins system of handicap- ping. This system is the official system of both the District and Maryland links associations, but there have been some deviations from it in favor of high handicaps for members of one or two clubs.

A1 Houghton, tournament chair- man for the Washington area of the Middle Atlantic P. G. A., does not charge any phenagling on

handicaps, but he will recommend that in future P. G. A. tourneys the handicaps of the amateurs must be based on the Calkins system, which in a general sense is based on the average of the three best scores.

Some local clubs, according to

Houghton, have deviated from this system and use the all-score handi- capping method, which gives a

cross-section of the players’ game, based on high and low scores, as well as the general average.

Amateur Support Sought. The Middle Atlantic P. G. A.

wants amateur support and will go far to get It. But it does not want support, Houghton says, at the ex-

pense of men whose handicaps are fairly and properly regulated.

The amateurs have been intVed to play in the Baltimore open tour- ney. July 14.,and their support will be sought in the P. G. A. cham- pionship at Richmond in October.
