"PATER-F|L|US' GOLFERS
IN ANNUAL TOURNEY
Fathers and Young Sons Play
Against Sons and Elderly
Fathers in Foursomes.

= SCARBOROUGH. n. Y, June 22.-The
Metropolitan Golf Associations first
pater ct filius tournament was held
yesterday at the Sleepy Hollow Country
Club, and it was not necessary to wait
for the formal vote of the competitors
at the dinner in the clubhouse last
evening to know that henceforth ii will
be an annual event. No new form of
golfing competition introduced about
New York ever was attended by such
success as was yesterdays tourney. and
the only criticism heard was that 1t
ought to have been begun long ago. for
Chicago and Philadelphia have been
holding such competitions for years,
and up to the present metropolitan
golfers have been getting along with
out them simply because they have not
known what they were missing. So
when the question. Shall this tourney
be made an annual event in the fu-
ture?" was put at the dinner last even
ing the affirmative response was unani-
nous.
Ninety-ive fathers, with their sons as
mariners, PLAYED in foursomes around
the sleepy Hollow links yesterday for
the three pairs of medals for the first
second and third net scores. BY its
very nature the competition brought

The tie was decided by drawing the
names from a hat. the Eyppers getting

Even though none of them managed
to win prizes the three or four little
boys who played attracted the lions
share of attention all day. Charles Rich
was the smallest as we'll as the young
est and played a good many excellent
shots On the thirteenth hole his
father put the ball safely on the green
and the youngster down a hard
putt for a 2.
Howard F. Whitney. secretary Of the

Herzog's regime has been a failure.
He has not been able to get the best
efforts of his players because of his
hotheadedness and quick temper. with
the result that his team is in last place
and stands but little chance to get out
of that position.
Hendricks was in Cincinnati few
days ago and had long conference
with President Hermann of that club.
That the National League clubs are
going to take the initiative in drop
ping players holding long-term con-
tracts with big figures who are not
playing up to their standard is as
sured by contemplated action which
the Cincinnati club expects to take
against two of it's players within the
next few days The players in question
have been notified that they must show
that they are still as capable as for
merly within the next few days or be
released outright. regardless OF their
contracts. 1t seems that legal advice
which the magnates have obtained as
sures them that they do not have 20
carry and pay players who are not
making good. and the National League
clubs are going to get rid OF all the
high-salaried deadwood that is possi-
