out from Quincy, the final scores be-
ing Keokuk ia, Quincy 10, and
Burlington 100.
The day was ideal for play and the
eighteen golfers, six representing
each club, started out in threes to
make Colonel Bogey finish down.
Three players returned with scores
of 40 for nine holes. They were
Sheldon and Elder of Keokuk and
the youngster Weems of Quincy,
whose phenomenal work held the
down river club up in the race.
Sheldon, Keokuk's star, played in
the first trio against Will Sinnock,
the Quincy crack, and DR.. Kinney, Bur-
lington's leading player Sheldon
played in AZ the cyst round and fin
ished well up on both of his oppon-
ents. In the second round he played
in DOGGY and increased his total to
90, which was the third highest total
of the day.
The second set found Leopold Sr.
of Burlington, Hillman Of Quincy
and Dickey of Keokuk matched to-
gether. This trio proved the best

round, but played strongly on the
second nine Hillman was consistent
throughout, while the Keokuk player
gathered good number of points on
the last four holes of the eighteen.

the second round brought his total to
% IL which was the second best of
the day. Beebe got is points, while
Otto secured but 10 IL.
Dunlap in the fourth set struck
fast pace in the first round, but both
Guinan of Quincy and Tony Carpenter
of Burlington divided most Of the
points during the second round.
The work of young Weems of Quin-
cy, who is yet in his teens stands out
more prominently than that of any
other player of the afternoon. He
played the course in DOGGY and made
"a ~ points against Mcfarland of
Keokuk and Clary of Burlington.
Cochrane of Keokuk held up we'll in
