The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1901-09-27

The gallery was small yesterday at
the Country club and the golfers who
lost cannot say that their doleful fate
was because of the hysterical giggling
or the whispers of damsels fair in red
jackets. The damsels fair busted them
selves with home interests during the
forenoon and when they arrived on the
links did not swarm over the course,
as they swarmed last year and other
years in the memory of the oldest in
habitant. To be sure, there was no
Nardon, champion of the world, and no
Travis, amateur invinCible. with red
satin trimmings, to follow over the
links in awe-stricken silence, broken
by smothered gasps of admiration at
unusual plays. The out-of-t town play
ers have not made fancy records thus
far. Only one foreigner, Mr.. Learned,
is left in the semi-fnals. The others,
like the traditional ten little Indians
sitting in line" have one by one
fallen off, until a single golfer is left.
To be sure, Mr.. Huntington is now a
Wilkes Barrean, but we shall always
claim him as ours.
The winners in the Country club
match were j. II. Brooks. T.. c. Fuller,
James Blair, jr., and A. u. Huntington.
Their contest will be watched with
great interest today.
