| Former Caddte Makes Low Score,
NEW YORK, July 13.-For the first time
| In the history of golf In the United States
| professional tournament was begun today
| on public links. Fifty-two of the most
prominent professional golfers east of the
/ Alleghenies started in this tournament over
| the VanCourtlandt park links and fifty of
| these turned in cards for double journey
| Of the entire course. When play began in
the morning there was fairly large crowd
| Of spectators on the course but a heavy
rainstorm soon dispersed the onlookers
| The links were deluged and made so soggy
| that low scores were not looked for The
feature of the morning round was the ex-
| celent work done by Martin O'Loughlin, a
! T-year-old boy, who learned the game as a
| caddy at Plainfield, N ]. He negotiated the
! course in Is strokes and during his tour a
| heavy rainstorm was in evidence. The
next best scores were turned in by George
| Low, the Baltusrol clubs professional and
| Aleck Smith of Nassau, each of whom
! turned in an so. The open champion, Willie
| Anderson of the Apawamis club, was
| close up with 81.
! In the afternoon OLoughlin fell behind
his morning record by four strokes. Isaac
| Mackie, the professional from Fox Hills,
! Staten Island, carried of the honors with
the low score of 1872 a double journey.
| Willie Anderson, the open golf champion
of the United States, and Bernard Nichols
| of Hollywood, N. j., was next best with
| 1871.
