= 4lI Ee GEQNQ OF EOaL etlLf-z
gathered AZ the Claremont country
club yesterday 20 follow their favorile
players and friends over the golf links
IN the FIRST and second rounds Of the
open tournament The affair has been
a great success from the class and
number OF players entered, and some
great golf was played during the day.
There were eight flights OF sixteen
players each and they were all COM
pleted through the first and second
rounds
The greatest surprise OF the day was
the defeat OF Jack Neville at the
hands OF A +. Bilweig. After the
manner in which Neville covered the
IS hole course in IS in the qualifying
round On Saturday he was looked upon
as likely winner and particularly IN
the first round, as Billing had turned
IN score Of 50 in the qualifying &
round The winner was playing in
good form and Won his match up.
Doctor Fredericks was right on HIS
game yesterday and did much better
than on Saturday, and defeated Bling
IN easy style, in the second round, 6
up and TO play.
The closest match OF the first fight
was between H W. Sherwood and Vim
cent Whitney. in the first round Both
A'A4sNAa were DAd1ilE fl20L I'D 10
scratch and neither made many mis-
takes nor wasted any strokes. and It
vas hard fought battle that was only
decided when Whitney won the
eighteenth hole
Douglas Grant, one Of the players
who was likely TO have cut a figure in
the first flight, was not on hand and
was defaulted. As a result Of yester-
days play four players are left in the
first ranks 10 fight IL out for high
honors. They are all playing excellent
golf and the semi-final and final
matches should bring ont some great
exhibitions A big crowd of spectators
u1doubtedly viii be on hand

- the best players. but close and in
1e7esting matches were scattered all

Tennis was also on the card Of
sports OF the Claremont county club
Yesterday. and very interesting ex-
hfbition match OF doubles was played,
in which Sumner Hardy and Percy
Murdock. two OF the oldtimers
trimmed Mel Long and Charles Foley
It was a three set match. the first
set going to Long and Foley after a
hard struggle at s--6. Hardy and Mur-
dock played some pretty tennis
throughout and won the match by get
ting the last two set, 6-3. 6-4.
Circumstances and lawyers alter
cases.
II takes woman TO find an excuse
when there isn't any
There is no gilt edged reference that
can beat an obese bank balance.
Anyway. the unwritten law seems to
have lot written about it.
Nearly every gift that is made has
some sort OF a string to it.
