Father Mckee Rubs Ii In

Because Of the possibility of it being
clear in one city and raining in another
It was decided to let the players have three
the scores II can be seen that the defeat
of the Meehan family was due to the high
scoring of the father and the youngest
child. Incidentally II was decided that the
youngest children should play only nine
holes Father Mckee must be some golfer,
as he shot 76. while the best Father Nee
han could do was 81 strokes worse. The
youngest Mckee boy made 73 for the nine
holes. while Miss jeanette Meehan, year
younger. was so strokes worse
The Misses Sarah and Helen Meehan
played better golf than the Misses Lucille
and Frances Mckee. there being difference
of 81 strokes between the two tweiVe-ye
old girls and in favor Of the Philadelphau,
while the elder Meehan girl was strokes
lower than her rival
The basic principle of golf is honor. and
as it was not possible to play the match
over a neutral course, each family was per-
mttcd TO play over its home links and tho
correctness of the score was left to each
family so there will be no protests and
the Meehans will take their beating like
men and women should
II Is the first time that IIr. Meehan and
his family have ever been defeated. Last
year they played a Mr Peters, of Omaha,
! Neb and his family. and the Philadel-
/ phians were easy victors.
