. The North Dakota golf tournament,
which has been in progress in Dickin-
son all week, comes to a close to-
morrow with the finals for the indi-
vidual state championship, both for
men and women. That a Dickinson
man will win the state honors again

three Dickinson men and only one
outside man, Mcdonald of Fargo, are
now in the race. William Kostelecky,
J. J. Mandig and Guy Hunter are the
Dickinson contenders. AS we go to
press Kostelecky leads Mcdonald, one
up, and Mandig and Hunter are tied.

evening was the social feature of the
tournament. An exceptionally large
crowd of Dickinson club members
were present to endorse the hearty
welcome extended by the Queen City
of the Prairies to the visiting contest
ants from the several golf clubs of

A feature Of today's golf activities
is 36-hole match between John
Reuter-, Jr., of Dickinson, twice North
Dakota state champion, and E. M. Nc

ored that some good sized bets were
posted as to the outcome of this
event and the result this evening
will be watched for with interest.
