Alexander Milne Has Low
Score in Apawamis SEN
iOrs' Tournament.

Alexander Milne, of Scarsdale, a
spry young man OF 81 summers. led
the field in the first days play of the
annual seniors tournament over the
links OF the Apawamis Club at Rye
yesterday. He returned a card of
93-22-n.
Conditions called for a medal round
of eighteen holes on the handicap
basis for men of SO years of age or
more Next on the list came Wilson
P. Foss, of Deal, who gained fame
as an international amateur billiard
player some years ago. Foss's card
was 92-20-72. He had a great chance
to capture the net award of the day,
having a score of IS when he finished
the seventeenth hole, but he fell down
badly on the last hole, requiring sew
en-, and came in behind Milne by a
stroke. A. f. Jameson, of Spring
Lake, stood third. There was no
prize for the best eighteen hole gross
score except that the man who does
the best round during the two days
receives a prize. Herman Wendell, of
ST. David's, Philadelphia, had the best
actual score of the day, an 81, which
is believed to stand a good chance of
ultimately becoming a winner.
