 Following Thursdays heavy fall of rain and riday's severe Fsnow storm 1t is really remarkable that the golf. CTS could play yesterday. But old Sol had not been on duty over an hour in the morning before the links were well dried out and by 2 o'clock in the afternoon there was scarcely any mud at all visible. The result was that the golfers motored out to the Essex links and enjoyed a most m. expectedly enjoyable time.

 H. w. Lanigan, the press represan- tative of the Arlington and Eastman Hotels, returned from Little Rock Iast evening, where he went to ar range a home and home match be- tween Herman Hacllbarth. the pro fessonal of the Little Rock Country Club, and Willie Hoare, the profes- sional of the Hot Springs Golf and Country Club. Hackbarth registered a fluky victory over Hoare in an lS- hole match on the Essex course two winters ago
 The match is almost a certainty, re. ports Lanigan The first half will probably be played in Little Rock and the wind-up fought cut here. Play over each course wilt be at 36 holes. Hence, the element of luck will be completely wiped out.
 Lanigan informed the Capitol City golfers that Hoare had host of financial supporters and that match of $500 or $l,000 a side could be cas- Fly arranged. if satisfactory to the Llt- tie Rock colony President Reyburn's reply can be expected early in the week and it is almost a sure thing Al. s
