Splendid Trophy for Perpet-
uaI Play
BLUE MOUND GETS TOURNEY
w. T.. Yule of Kenosha is Elected
President of the State Organiza-
ton at the Annual Meet
ing Friday Evening
lFrom Saturdays Daily


George Yule, president of the Balm
Wagon Company may not be much of a
golf player himself, but he sprung the
biggest surprise of the Wisconsin State
golf meet at Kenosha last night when he
sent notice to the delegates to the state
association that he desired to offer a
splendid trophy for perpetual play
among the members Of the association.
The trophy for which a special design
has been made, will be the handsomest
trophy ever offered for contests among
the clubs of the Western Golf Associa-
ton. It will be Of wrought silver and
it will be called the "Yule Cup" It
is the plan Of 4Ar. Yule to- make this
tropy to the Wisconsin Association what
the Marshall Field Cup is to the West
crn Golf Association. Mr.. Yule makes
no suggestions as to the plans for the
play for the trophy, this being left
entirely with the directors of the asso.
citation. The tender not only includes
the splendid trophy which is to be the
perpetual property Of the association
and held from year to year by the club
winning it, but also gold medals to be
given to the members of the teams win
ming the trophy from year to year. It
was suggested that the trophy be con-
tested for by teams consisting Of four
or five men selected from the various
clubs in the state and that the annual
contest for the trophy be held on the
links where the state tournament was
held
There is one feature to the tender
which makes it unusually interesting.
Mr.. Yule is the father Of family of
famous golfers in the Wisconsin Asso-
citation and his plan will perpetuate
the play for the "Yule Cup" for three
generations.
It was suggested at the meeting shat
after the death Of "Father" Yule as
he was reverentially called among the
golfers, that the medals will be. pro-
vided by George A. Yule and W. L.
Y1ile, his sons and at their death the
medals will be provided for by William
III. Yule and Gordon Yule the grand
sons.
The proposition was heartily receiv-
ed by the delegates to the State Assoc
citation meeting and special committee
was named to draw up resolutions of
appreciation to be sent to Mr.. Yule.
The first play for the trophy will take
place ON the links of the Blue Mound
Club during the 1909 tournament.
| At the annual business meeting Of the
association held at the club house Fri
day night the Blue Mound Club of Mil
waul1ee was selected as the place fo1
holding the next tournament. The

were raised to $40 year and the fol
