This will probably be the most in
teresting day yet chronicled in the golf
ing season. In the first place the
weather promises to conduct itself in
a more gracious manner than on sew
eral Saturdays of recent date. Then
it is Wilkes Barre day and that in it
self lends additional interest to the oc-

when our neighbors visit us, since it is
TO make Ineln TeHllZe lndL we
exist except during the golf season. 1t
is intended that they shall be most
pleasantly entertained during their
stay here.
The match this afternoon is but a
preliminary one, the team being un-
limited as to numbers. 1t will open
at o'clock and will be over the entire
course of eighteen holes. a prize will
also be offered for the best medal play
round. The manner of scoring in this
series of inter-club matches will be by
holes up; that is, if Scranton wins by
eleven holes up today and Wilkes
Barre is victorious next Saturday by
eight holes, then Scranton wins by
three up! Thus a third match is not
necessary in the preliminary contests.
IL ladies' match is arranged for
this afternoon the players will prob
ably include some Of the following:
Miss Anderson, Miss Van Cleef, the
Misses Archibald, Miss Welles. Miss
Dale Miss Matthews, Miss Hunt Miss
Belin.

Will probably be a ball-sweepstalkes
handicap. when every one who enters
will place a ball in the pool, the VIM
ner receiving the pool as a prize.
Some of the ladies declare this to be
canny trick of the green's committee
or the captain to thus fasten feminine
attention somewhere else than on the
regular match of the afternoon, so
