 Fdrty.four golfers competed in the annual St. Patricks tournament on the links Of the Hot Springs Country Club yesterday. All but two of the members of the field were out-of-town
 players and that the cup winner was one of the two resident entrants would
 be a glorious triumph for the Spa
 If play had not been at blind bogey.
 Such a triumph Is necessarily
 lucky one and for once in his young life Ernest Latta. one of the Country
 Clubs best boosters and who makes
 splendid little entertainment of one
 at all stages of the local season,
 played in luck. Rather, he drew in
 luck, as after he tied with c. c. Will son of Chicago. and Dewey Hickey Of St Louis, who is at the Arlington with his handsome wife. who was formerly a Miss Anheuser, his name
 was the one drawn out of Professional Willie" Hoare's cap. Mr Hickey's name followed and he, too, is the own CT of cup.
 The tournament was glorious sue cess. The day was made to order for golf and the play practically lasted from dawn till dusk. Golf means a lot. whole lot. for the new Hot Springs and it is distinct pleasure to state that the Country Club has
 practically doubled it's business of a year ago
 Furthermore, our links are being praised by more than one golfer who formerly played at Pinehurst There, golf is as old as the town, and here our course is only in it's fourth year. So, to quote Comedian Harry Lauder, who made the rounds of the links Monday morning. sthe Spa should be ] the mecca for all northern golfers within another year or two" There was lot of sterling golf played yesterday and it is to be re- gretted that play was at the blind bogie variety. Jack Villas of Chicago; L. C. Bucklin of Little Falls, N. Y. w. A. stuart. of Tulsa, Okla; W. H. Armstrong, of Chicago; W. k. Chester Of Hot Springs; I. w Wills of Koe- kuk la; H. l. Sawyer of Burlington. t.. sl. J. Pollock. .of Chicago; Frank NJ.
 BTeen. Of Bartlesvile, Okla, and j.. B. Rahm of Omaha, all turned In sparkling gross scores. Mir. Kahn especially was on his game. as gross score of SS will attest. He
 nan.ed two as his handicap, so fell four short of being in the draw. While the tournament was being played NJ. J. Bransfleld and Peter Pet erson, of Chicago, and Walter Alexan-
 der of Wausaw, Wis, all guests at
 the Arlington and brand new follow
 CTS of golf, clashed in what was lab
 eled the Dublin Handicap" Neither gentleman had ever played up to yes
 terday. All three did well--if one doesn't care what he says. Anyhow. they had high old time and Mr
 Brasnfield, the winner, was the hap
 piest man on the course after the
 tournament was over.
 The writer hopes he got all the names and homes correctly But he
 doubts if he did When the next
 season" rolls around President Will o. Forbes. who has done so much for
 golf in Hot Springs, will help matters a lot if he will have the secretary of the Country Club come to the aid of
 Professional Hoare and the New York Hotels Publicity department and see that the scores of all tournaments are prepared with the desired care.
