Inc h0nOSna gOlIeTS nave again
given evidence of their ability to play
this fascinating game and on last Sat
urday afternoon the home team de-
feated the strong team from GAINESVILLE
by score of six up The match was
an eighteen holes match with ten rep
resentatives of each club. AS it was
the frat match of the year with an out
Of town club, the event drew a large
number of interested spectators to the
grounds The weather was ideal. The
rain Of the morning had softened the
ground little, but not enough to in
terfere with the work of the golfers. A
strong wind blew over the course and
interfered with a number of the players
who depended great deal on long
drives.
The match started promptly at 2
O'Clock, when Allen for Kenosha and
Schaler for the visitors teed off for
the journey of eighteen holes. Half an
hour later all the ten couples had been
started and the crowd sat down to
await the finish of the first nine holes
which would serve as an index to the
game. AS the players began to finish
the course great interest was aroused
and the game became very exciting
when the first round ended with the
visitors three strokes behind. The
home players had met with bad luck,
and Petit who is considered as one of
the sure players among the locals,
closed the first round with score Of
six down. When the second round
started great interest was taken in the
match between Allen and Schaller, who
were considered the champions of the
two clubs, and big crowd followed
them all around the field. The first
round had ended with a score of three
up for Allen, but Schaller, his opponent
showed great improvement on the
second round and the best Allen could
do was TO finish the match with the
score of three up, which he had at the
close of the first round.
One of the most interesting contests
was between Corey and Sloan. At the
end of the first round Mr.. Corey was
defeated by score of one down, but
when they started on the second round
he was greatly improved in form and
soon not only regained what he had
lost, but won from his opponent by a
score of three up.
L. NJ Eichelman and James Kehlor
won by the largest score. Both of these
men played good golf, but it is thought
that they were pitted against the
weakest men in the GAINESVILLE team.
Eichelman played phenomenal game
the first round, winning five holes and
halving the remainder, but on the sec
ond round he fell down and was not
able to make further Roadway against
his opponent.
DR.. Ripley and Fif1eld also played a
hard match which was not decided
until the ninth hole had been played.
In the first round Ripley finished two
up, but in the second round Fifeld's
playing improved in wonderful man
ner and at the seventh hole the two men
were even. The eighth was halved and
by splendid short work on the green DR..
Ripley won the hole by one stroke.
The best medal score for the day was
made by Chester Allen, who made a
score of A out and 46 in total of 90 for
the course. This was one less stroke
than the previous record of the course,
which was also held by Allen. A.
Schaller, of the GAINESVILLE team, who
played with Allen, was close second
| for the medal record. His score out
was 48, in AZ, giving him total of 90.
DR.. Ripley WIS third with score of go
The score for the two teams was as
