Members of the Topeka Country
club won three out of eight cups and
six out of seven medals offered as
trophies in the first annual invita-
ton tournament here, which ended
Saturday afternoon. The cups, ex-
cepting two, were offered as tropnles
for winners in the six fllghts. one
cup was offered for the best team
score and the other cup was offered
as a consolation to those who failed
to qualify in the first round OF play.
The team cup was won by kinnear
and Barteldes of Lawrence and A
Zahner won the consolation.
The most interesting play in the
finals was between DIR. Wilson K. Ho-
bart and T. B. Frost. OF course both
were Topeka men and. playing in the
first flight, better playing was ex-
pected than in any other event. In
addition to that. there was increased
interest for the reason that DR.. Ho- |
bart defeated Larry Kinnear of Law |
renee, who holds the state champion |
ship title.
Frost got away in front of Hobart |
in the finals but crumpled under the |
strain of the fast mornings play and |
lost the contest by up and to |
play. Frost had been pitted against |
Joe Wilson during the semi-finals and |
the play went nineteen holes. This |
appeared to rob him of his strength
and he was unable to withstand the
fast pace set by DR.. Hobart.
Frost made an excellent score and
won the first hole, in the finals, and
continued the lead until the fourth
hole, when DR.. Hobart took a brace.
Frost was partially to blame for this
ilso, as he flew out of bounds and
lad a hard time getting back.
Hobart did not take the lead until
1t the sixth hole and he accomplished
hat on a difficult put. Frost then
ost six holes in succession before he
,ould check his slump. Hobart was
low and deliberate during the finals, |
IS he was against Kinnear during the
morning play. His drives were good,
lis puts were true and he was quite
Effective. Frost's putting was weak
nd he was erratic at times.
The contest between the pair was
Iecided at the fifteenth hole, with
Iobart four up and three to play.
The finals in the second flight, for
ng battle. Armin Fassler and Allen
dcNeal teed off and the latter won, L
p. McNeal won the match in the sew
nteenth hole, but FaSSler had a
nance to equal the score by making
he eighteenth hole in 4. He missed
brace which eventually resulted in a
o halve the hole. Fassler was in the
cad with up at one time, but he
fairly long put and allowed McNeaI
ct down in his play and McNeal took
ictory for the latter.
A foursome match with Bob Pee
les the Topeka professional and
irant Chamberlain, of Hutchinson
nd former state champion, playing
gainst Tom Hughes, professional of
Wichita, and Larry Kinnear, the
resent champion, created a lot of in
crest during the afternoon. All are
Scellent players and attracted a large
allery. PEBBLES and Chamberlain won '
lie match in 3 up. kinnear is slight
: out of his teens, but his long accur- .
te drives were noticeable and this :
