KENOSHA DOES WELL
Kenosha Golfers at State Meet
Make a Good Showing
at La Crosse
NO TOURNEY AT OSHKOSH
from A Special coRREspoNDBNr.

/ II Rom A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.
La Crosse, Wis, July IS. Where
will the next Wisconsin golf tourna-
ment go? That is the question which
is agitating the golf enthusiasts at
tending the state tournament since It
became known that the Algoma
Country club directors of Oshkosh
have voted not to extend an invita-
ton to the Wisconsin association.
Last year the Oshkosh club gave way
to the request of the Lacrosse club,
with the understanding that the 1906
contest would go to the Sawdust city.
This spring high water, however,
has necessitated the ditching of the
course and the installation Of pumps
to keep the course drained, and the
expense of this work prevented the
undertaking of the added expense of
a state tournament. So, unless the
directors change their minds, some
other club will get the 1906 tourna-
! ment.
Under blazing sun, the day being
the hottest of the year here, the visit
ing golfers kept plugging at the little
balls, and some excellent scores were
made in practice rounds. Champion
| Cavanagh spent the day practicing on
the tricky putting greens, and aston
ished the other golfers by his work in
midcourse practice with irons. VIII.
Yule Of Kenosha walloped the colonel,
turning in Al on DOGGY 40 course.
A dozen of the visitors were able to
get within a stroke or two of the col
onel, although the play was Of prac-
! tice character.
The entry list for the tournament
will not be closed until Wednesday
night, when the pairings will be ar
ranged, but it is already evident that
the list will be unexpectedly large,
considering the distance of Lacrosse
from the leading go1fng towns of the
state, which are all ia the eastern por-
ton. A partial list of the entries
shows the.following registration from
the various clubs: Oshkosh s, La
| Crosse II, EauC1aire 9, Kenosha 6,
Racine 4, Milwaukee Country club S,
Blue Mound Country club 4, Sinsis-
sippi (Janesvillel 8, Madison 8. In
addition some scattering entries are
expected at the last moment.
1 The spirit Of the incoming golfers
is most delightful. Some of the crack
players of the state are here, but
there are also many who have no
hopes of winning state champion
ships, and who are here just for the
sport Of playing in big tournament.
The Eau Claire club, for example, is
sending a big delegation. In their
number may be coming champion,
but the majority have come just to
experience the sensation of being
pitted against the states best players.
Kenosha's delegation is one of the
different sort. That Southern Wis
consin town has the reputation for
/ being golf mad, and its players are
known as hard men to beat. It's dele
| cation includes the state champion,
last years runner up, an ex-state
champion, and others only a shade
/ less prominent.
The Lacrosse club is said to have
some good players, and though the
| local players claim to have no hope of
winning the championship for the
home team. the visitors have lurk-
ing idea that their hosts have bunch
of dark horses. There is vague
rumor about the Schaghticoke club
house that A. M. Tourtelotte, the
state secretary, recently made the
course in 40, two under DOGGY. That
means one more man in the running
for the state championship, if there
