TITLE TO Topeka
Hurley and Felix Battle for
State Golf Championship.
Felix the Dark Horse Surprise
of the Tournament.

Emporia, Kan, June 16.-That a
Topekan would carry away the 1916
golf championship at the conclusion
of the state tournament being held
here was assured when 1. Felix and
Harlow Hurley, both members of the
Topeka Country club, won out in the
semi-fnals, and, as of old, when meet
ing of Greek and Greek meant real
engagement, so it was predicted there
would be a match worth while when
these two Topekans faced each other
today in the final match for the high
est golf honor of the state.
Hurley won his way to the finals by
defeating G. Griffith of Wichita, up
and 4. The picking all the time from
the start of the play included Hurley
in the list of favorites and a very
likely player in the finals, but Felix,
who defeated Tom Griffith, the pres
ent champion. and 2, was one of
the big surprises of the meet. He
was considered dark horse entry up
to Thursday at noon, and no one had
been figuring him a chance, but this
morning there were many who
thought he would give Hurley one of
the hardest matches he ever went up
against.
t Hurley Has the Edge
The fact that all Topekans have
conceded that Hurley was the best
player in the capital city naturally in
dictated that he should have the edge
on his home town opponent today,
but the hackers of Felix pointed to
his consistent showing since this
weeks play began and to the fact
that he was able to trim Griffith, who
has three times previously held the
state title. The final battle was
scheduled to go So holes, IS in the
morning and Is in the afternoon.
The Presidents cup was won by
George Gano, of Hutchinson, when he
defeated Topping, Ottawa, 3 and 1.
The Directors flight was captured by
another Hutchinson golfer, Houston
Whiteside. He won from Burr Root,
up in this flight last year but lost the
final match.
''Boney'' Gets Low Score.
Arthur Bonebrake, Topeka's caddy
golfer, will meet Sam Hutton, Hutch
inson. in the final match for the
championship consolation cup today.
Bonebrake easily defeated Abbott,
Wichita, and 4. In this match the
Topeka youngster turned nine holes in
So, the lowest medal score of the
tournament including two strokes
which went out of bounds
The consolation cup in the Presi-
| dents flight was won by Ohio Bar
teldes, Lawrence, from Petro, Hutch
| inson. and 8.
Pitts, Wichita, finished ahead of
Stroup, Salina, in the finals for the
| Directors consolation. Lostutter, EN-
poria, and Rowland, Emporia. will
face each other in the finals for the

A report from Lincoln states that the
Denver club hopes to have the three games
Omaha won from the Bears thrown out on
the grounds that the Omaha club was over
the player limit when the games were
played.
Rumors have come from more than one
place in the league to the effect that Pa
Rourke is above the limit, and if Denver
takes the initiative in attempting TO bring
