The officials Of the association first de-
cided to hold the tourney on the course
of the Homestead Hotel at the Virginia
Hot Springs. but as they could not have
the exclusive use of the links for the two
days 1t was decided to make other ar
rangements.
Each Of the local clubs will be repre-
sented by team which is to be selected
by the captain of the club.
Each team In the association will be
represented by six men. The program for
the first Gay will be at thirty-six holes,
medal play. The four teams returning
the best aggregate scores will qualify
for the championship, the runner-up, and

When Waddell was training in Thomas

''Rube" met the young chaps two sis

reciprocity. he asked them to go taliy-ho
riding the following Sunday. Then he
got busy endeavoring TO find a partner
for one Of the young ladies and the
necessary funds with which to finance
the trip. He was not successful in
borrowing the money. but he induced

Pittsburgh club in those days, to ac-

was driving the four horses by this time,
the opportunity being too good for him
to miss. As they drew up to the DOOR

"Rube." even better than I thought
