from a Kermanshah. in rugs, and can
determine the quality of Wilton or
Persian at glance, Is no indication
that he is Vardon, Jim Barnes or g
Chick Evans on the golf links, even
though the greens are like carpets.
d. F. Murphy, who played yesterday
in the golf tournament OF the Carpet
Trade Association on the links OF the
Hackensack Golf Club, is said by his
fellow members of the trade to be an
expert judge Of all that comes under
the head Of carpet, but Mr.. Murphy
played the eighteen holes yesterday in
just 298 strokes.
Besides fracturing all existing high
score tournament records in this or
any other land, this score establishes
its owner as the greatest worst golfer
in the world and he stands ready to
meet all comers on a scratch basis. But
for the fact that he sank a couple OF
sensational sx-inch puts, Mr.. Murphy
is confident he might have boosted
his total.
his card 1OllOWs;
out--is 20. 10. 81. II. 49, H. o. 2l-iE
In-B. l3. is. 10, Is. 10, %. l6. S-l3l-zss
Although Mr. Murphy will never be
a favorite with the men who set the
agate type, We have purposely placed
his name first in this description OF
the tournament, because there are hun
dreds of golfers in the country who
can get around course under 80. Only
a great genius could do what Mr.. Muir
ply did yesterday at Hackensack.
Horace 7. Cook, of Trenton, returned
the low gross score Of the day, with a
fine round of 36-37-73. He was
handicapped at plus 8, but, even so,
also had the low net score, with a 78.
He selected the gross prize, and the
low net went to C. J. Fetterolf, Of
Philadelphia, with 94-14-80.
Cooks card follows:
out-5. g. 4. 4. T. T. 2. 3. 6-ss
In-5. L. T. 4. 3. 4. 5. 4. s-s7-rs
In comparison with Cooks card and
those of G.. A. Paul, 81; II. B. Rich

with Murphy's they were remarkably
low
