acy In Iowa, Openeu at tue So"i.i'
club. Some surprises were fea-
lures Of the opening round, among
them being the defeat of Arthur Cor
don, OF Des Moines, state champion,
by Given Chase, also of Des Moines.
More good golf, than showed in the
qualifying rounds, was also an incident
of the play of the eighteen holes, which
cut down sixteen of the thirty two who
qualified.
with a very few exceptions those
who were picked as winners won,
some Of the matches being very one-
sided. Surprises, however, We're
sprung, among them being the defeat
of +. M. Parker, of Cedar Rapids, by
e. G. wallace, of this city. Warren
Dickinson, as was conceded. won easily
from ]. p. woodbury., Jr, OF this city.
C. H. u. Boardnlan had an easy time
beating III. o. Matthews Of Des MONIES.
III. H. Ferguson, the ex-champion, OF
Cedar Rapids, also had an equally easy
time with H. G. Badgerow, OF Sioux
City, and B. G. Guinand Of Des Moines
won from J. D. Cady, the Rock Island
crack, with scarcely an effort. J. j..
Ebert. of Des Moines, most excel
lent player, won from r. w. McCreery,
of this city. L. r. Maxwell after
struggle. defeated George p. Powers,
of Des Moines.
Still Outside the Thirties.

the visiting golfers, as they stood on
the club house steps and viewed the
course. that scores Of So and 81 for the
nine holes would be turned In, has not
yet been realized. The lowest score
yet made is 40, and that has been done
but a few times. A lucky approach
gave Guinand the tenth hole OF his
match with Cady in 2, and the round
in 40. Cady made 40 in practice in
the morning. Maxwell also made a 40
in his second round with Powers, and
missed a short put for 80. Dickin-
son, Boardman Martin and French all
played the course in their matches in
DOGGY, which the visiting players have
come to realize is a stiff pace for the
nine holes.
Wallace Defeats a Veteran.
One of the decided surprises Of the
round was the defeat of j. NJ. Parker,
an old Cedar Rapids player, and cap
tain of the team from that city, by 3.
G. Wallace. Of this city. In COMPARE
son with Mr.. Parker, based on the
length Of time each has played, Mr..
Wallace is a mere novice, as he never
had a club in his hand prior to two
months ago. He won from Parker by
l up. Wallace was one hole to the
good on the seventeenth hole, and had
to make hve-foot put to halve the
eighteenth with his partner. He made
the put and won the match. Mr.. Wal
lace played the eighteen holes in 4s
and As, a total of "a. Mr.. Parker's
score was 50.
Maxwell Given a Chase.
George P. Powers, Of Des Moines,
gave L. r. Maxwell, of this city, stiff
run. On the first nine holes Maxwell
was away off from his usual form, and
Powers had him down. Maxwell had
thrown away his wooden clubs and
was using his iron altogether. On the
second round Maxwell played in 40,
won back the two holes he was behind,
and was 2 up at the finish.
Guinand Has an Easy Time.
B. G.. Guinand, Of Des Moines, a fav-
orite state championship possibility,
had the easiest kind of a time with j.
d. Cady, of Rock Island, whom he
defeated by up and to play. In
practice in the morning Cady exhibited
excellent form, but in the match play
he was away off, Guinand played a
steady and very consistent game. He
made a 40 and Cady a A in the first
round, and won the round with 4 up.
He took the next with two, the second
in five. and the third in four. Cady was
especially weak in his approaching.
Boardman, Dickinson, Ferguson and
j. J. Ebert, other possible candidates
for the championship, had fully or al
most as easy times with their partners.
Given Chase Beats Gordon.
The defeat of Arthur Gordon by
Given Chase, was in a way surprise,
altho Gordon was playing nowhere
near the form he exhibited last season.
This has been due to lack of practice.
Mr.. Chase played with irons entirely,
and his drives averaged close to 200
yards. He won two of the first three
notes dIpu Kept lH0 lSdu " ll1O Cllu.
j. ]. Ebert played in beautiful form,
making a AZ in his first round with
R. w McCreery, whom he defeated
by up and four to play.
