ris' card showed only one below
The entry of local golfers into the
tourney yesterday morning, together
with the arrival of visitors, brought
the list up to 81 before play was
started at Q o'clock. Promptly at that
time Secretary John NJ. Inglis started
]. D. Kirkpatrick and c. t. Fair0alrn
and the second annual tourney was Of
ficially under way.
There were but few surprises. Tutwi-
ler although not ranked among the fore
most golfers of the state, is smart
player, and his victory was not surpris-
ing to those who had followed his play
during the past few days. He turned in
a card of 40 for the mornings play, but
the last nine holes.
MUNGER CLOSE SECOND
r. c. Munger was close second to
Tutwiler, turning in a card of so. Mum
ger also made 40 in the morning and was
picked to win the medal, but he was not
able to better his play in the final rounds,
turning in 40 for the final holes. A. B.
Harris was third, with an 81, losing sec
ond place by poor finish.
Although the field of visitors is not as
large as in previous years, practically
every local player of any prominence is
entered. No line on the probable winner
cyfnr.-
day:
Tutwiler won the medal chiefly through
his consistent playing, although nervous
ness on the eighteenth hole came near
costing him the victory. His card was
as follows:
Out. Observation-Disclosures. 454 1868 456-4o
In. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 4f3 o44 05o-So--id
Tutwiler would have broken the course
record except for the fact that he grew
nervous on the green of the eighteenth
hole. He made the hole in six, While he
had an excellent opportunity to make 1t
in three. His drives were perfect, and
rot once was he in trouble.
Munger had several bad holes, which
cost him the possible chance of winning
q the medal His drives We're good, and
had he continued his good playing on
the thirteenth and fifteenth holes he
would have tied or beaten Tutwiler. His
card was:
Out. 43 474 457-42
In. Observation-Disclosures. AS f4o oSo-4V-oo
HARRIS WAS DARK HORSE

SO high in the ranking. He completed the
course, in 81, one more than Munger.

making the eighteenth hole in five,
whereas he had an excellent chance to
make 1t in three. His card follows:
Out. ....................... 443 1914 Al 10
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 444 554 535--39-Sl
OF the "a players that started, everyone
qualified. The entry list, at that. was
somewhat shy of expectations of Off
Gals. who had planned to accommodate
at least 100 golfers. A number of visit
ing players who had entered failed to
arrive yesterday as expected.
The day was an ideal one, while the
course was in excellent condition.
