Interest In the handicap play was height
ened by the fact that the committee decio-
ed not to make the handicap allowances
known until all the scores are turned In at
8 o'clock this evening. This course not
only tends to keep up the interest to the
very end. but also induces every player to
turn in his card. Often when the handi-
discouraged and withhold their scores. The
committee Is anxious to have all the cards
this year In ordeS that line may be had
upon the various players.
