NO RECORD GOLF SCORES AT BROOKLINE

fell down badly on the home Journey
which is much the easier end, and fin-
ishe6 with rs. There were a number
of good scores made in the seventies,
which, many of the stars of whom 50
much was expected, had their own
troubles, and it was a struggle with
them to qualify.
The most remarkable feature of the
days play was the best ball of all the
competitors, which shows the actual
possibilities of golf although 1t Is hard
ly probable that any one man should
ever be possessed with such almost un-
heard of luck, for while a man may
make one or two phenomenal holes
tine rest of his card might be very bad
indeed, but selecting the lowest score
in (which each hole was made in by one
or more players during the day the
marvellous best ball score of the day
was 81, as follows:
Out ........... 3 4 343 2 3 40
In ............... 3 8 8 4 8 2 8 4-27--57
The. four on the first hole was not out
of thevordinary, as fifteen different men
each had four on this hole. The three
on the tsecond hole was not exceptional,
as five ,dijerent men made threes. The
four on the third hole was made by fif-
teen different players, while the honor
of the three on the fourth hole was
shared by eight different men, and
fours ON the hole were plentiful, as
ffty-two men had fours. The four ON
the fifth was shared by twenty EIGHT
players Seven men had threes on the
sixth, but the two on the seventh was
made by t. P. Burnson late in the day,
as prior to this the record was three,
shared by forty different men. The
three on the eighth was made by three
different men, as it had been figured
as a four hole. although made in three
by forty-five different competitors. Five
men each made fours on the ninth and
three had twos on the tenth. The three
on the eleventh was made by H. b.
Heybern, Philadelphia Cricket Club, at
time when twenty-four men halvsd
the honor of four The three on the
twelfth was made by w. r. Simons.
SWestbrook Golf Club, when thirty men
were claiming the honor of the four.
twelve threes were made on the thir-
teenth hole, four fours on the four
teenth, two threes on the fifteenth and
twenty-five fours. The sixteenth hole
was made in two by ten different
players The seventeenth was made in
four by sixty-six different players; be-
fore it was made in three, while the
eighteenth hole was made in four thir-

Political Notes
LEM LENAPES LOOK FOR
RECORD VOTE HERE TODAY.

Five hundred enthusiastic Democrats
gathered in the clubhouse of the Leni
Lenape Club, in Court street, last night,
when practically every member of the
Democratic ticket addressed them at
the clubs annual reception to the
party's candidates.
State Chairman James r. Nugent
presided over the meeting, and repre-
sentatives from almost every Demo-
cratic association in the city were
present. Ward leaders were given in
structions regarding today's primaries,
and the opinion of those In attendance
seemed to be that the closing of the
polls tonight would show record vote
for this city at least.
Some of those who spoke were Alder
man Elmer A. Day. J. Harry Hull, can
didate for county register; Mayor Jacob
Haussling, Edward Schickhaus, cam
didate for county supervisor; Patrick

Largest Field in Amateur Cham
pionships, However, Plays
Excellent Game.
BRooKLINE, Mass, Sept. 49,

BROOKLINE, Mass, Sept. IL.
S7 HE largest field that ever COM
n peted IN a national amateur
championship assembled yes
terday at the links of the Brookline
Country Club. and despite the scientific
calculations of the executive commit
tee of the United States Golf Associa-
tion it was impossible for them to start
the entire field and have them complete
their eighteen holes before dark. The
committee figured 1t out on paper that
by commencing at 8 o'clock in the
morning and sending a pair away from
the first tee every four minutes they
could dispose of the entire field of over
200 golfers by 3 o'clock in the after
noon. They meant 1t all right, but by
8 o'clock in the morning they were a
half dozen couples behind their schcd-
ule, and the consequence was that at
o'clock in the afternoon they were
still starting them off from the first
tee, and at $3.50 o'clock in the evening,
when ut was too cark to see the men
upon the links, there were still twenty
six more to be heard from.
Word was sent to them, as darkness
approached, however they could quit
at any green they saw fit and continue
the match from the next tee in the
morning.
There were many excellent players
out, who have a chance to qualify at
So or under and it will not be known
who the tailenders will be until these
matches are completed before o'clock
in the morning, as at present there are
quite a number tied at 81 for the last
half dozen or more places in the sixty
four.
There was some very excellent golf
played, but it was not of record
breaking character. The amateur rec
ord for the course is II, held by p. w.
