There Is to be wonderful clashing Of dates
in golf tournaments this week. for conpe-

Ekwsnok, Lake Placid and Bar Harbor, not
to mention ono or two smaller Affairs. Next

and II will include players from both Deal
and Watch Hill. II 10 mistake that tne
Misquamicut Golf Club has jumped the dates
prompted early In the season by the Dsai
Golf Club. and 10 an extent the CONFLICT also
will hurt the Ekwanok tourney. The latter

between tournaments will doubtless keep On
without check. converting what are loudly
proclaimed a. open tourn aments into merely
family parties.
