The silver cups are beauties. They
are on exhibition at Nicolps art store.
Players intending to compete for the
trophies should read up on the rules
governing play, and the etiquette OF the
game, else they are liable to come to
grief.
There is a strong probability at the
pregent writing thatthere will be no in
ter-club match on July 4th. The reason
assigned is that the Lowland Club
wants team of six players only while
eight, and thereby another tale hangs.
The Highlanders concede that the Low
landers have six cracks who are
stronger than their SIX cracks" but
II the teams are increased to eight on
q side, then the situation is changed
decidedly; not positively, of course, but
the chances of success are very much
improved for the Killers. The Woods
dale Club appreciates the situation. no
doubt, and besides Captain Storer and
his lieutenants stand on the strong
ground Of precedent and congested
links, with more than six pairs. So
there you are The Highland lads swear
by the great horn-spoon that the Low
landerS must descend from their hign
horse or the match is off, as they are
tired of making concessions. All true
lovers of golf will, however, regret that
such trifies should stop tie hmatch Inter
club play is one of the best methods of
promoting the game and improving

captains get together and make the ne
cessary concessions in time to have the
contest on the Fourth.
The handicapping committee Of the
Woodsdale club met last Thursday to

or the fifteen gentlemen qualifying.
there were six who turned in less than
three cards (three being the minimum
and four out of the six turned in only
one card. With such limited data to
work upon, the committee concluded
that it would be impossible to fix a
proper handicap for each player. espe-
