The Keokuk Country Club became
a member of the Western Golf Asso-
citation last season for the purpose of
competing in this tournament and
will compete again this year.
Several things combine 10 handicap
the Keokuk eight In competition OF
this kind. For one the players COM
peting must be over twenty-five years
OF age, thus eliminating several Of the
best players of the club. The play
is against par. which is based on the
length of the holes. Because of the
lengths of holes on the course here
the Keokuk players go against very
difficult par figures and to play even
it would be necessary to negotiate a
80, which is two strokes less than the
course record.

1t was redhot opening that Ellis
started. He accepted the second offer
ing of RUDE Burch and shot it past
Harper SO fast that the first sacker
could scarcely move out of his tracks
in an effort to stop it. The ball skim
med the ground and bounded far out
into right field 1t loked like a hon.
er, but the runner was held on third
base. which he made with ease. Cliff
ton pounded a neat single over sec
ond. Ross singled and Rohn followed
with another on which Watson count,
ed The hostilfties might not have
ceased then had it not been for the
fact that Burch caught Rohn between
the bases and Ross, who was on third,
tried to slip home, but was caught.
Rohn was later forced out at second
and the side retired
Burch pitched strong game until
the fifth when two hits failed to count
any more runs. In the eighth hits and
errors combined TO give Burlington
two more Clifton started things with
a long double TO center field and tried
to stretch it into three Dagger. He
was caught on close play. but Bres-
nahan dropped the ball after taggine
the runner. Bresnahan made his sec
ond error on a foul fly not tar from
third base
Watson followed Clifton's drive
with a single. Burch caught the run
ner off first, but Harper threw poor
ly to second. Ross hit to center. The
bali was caught in the deep field BY
Reichle and Watson stole third after
the ball had been captured Rohn hit
to left for two sacks and the fourth
run counted.
