Father Time
|. r. Prentiss Makes Best
Showing of Day, Turning
in a Card of "a


nual tournament, and by scores that
were we'll below the average proved
that age counts but little in golf.
There were l76 of them in line Tor the
first days play, but this is only half OF
the large field that will compete. The
rest Of the players take possession Of
the links on Thursday and Friday.
Few of the veterans who have been
accustomed to play in this event In for
mer years were missing from the ranks,
and there were quite few youngsters
who have just turned fifty-tive on hand
TO be initiated.
As far as the best golf was con-
cerned, this honor fell to /. r. Prentss,
CT Mohawk. who turned in 81, dividing
two mines even with ~ in each half.
The only other prize awarded for the
cay resulted in tie among Judge II. A.
Gidersleeve, Of Oakland; John Hertz
Ter, of Lancaster, and T. p. Anderson,
Of Siwonoy. Their net was II, fig
ure well below the expectation Of the
Handicapped
With the course hard and dry and
the greens lightning fast, the "old boys"
figured that it would make the links
many strokes easier than in former
years, but, strange to say, there were
just as many alibis offered at the nine
teenth hole as in the previous tourna-
ments-which proves that a man never
outgrows human nature.
Justice Pitney on Hand
There were many men in line famous
-, 81 IS %
famous for handling the brassie and
tho cleek; but 1t is doubtful if any Of
the real stars of the game enjoyed the
excitement Of tournament play more
than did Supreme Court Justice Pit
neg. He played around with Frank
Presbrey, who set fast pace for the
justice. DR.. Carlos Mcdonald, of Tux
edo, was among the early birds. James
A. Tying and d. p. Kingsley also got an
carly start. but failed TO send in re-
port of their match to the bulletin
board.
Many of the players accepted the
offer of the Blind Brook Club to play
their course, and several parties mo-
tored over. One jitney containing a
foursome, composed of Alex Revelle, of
Chicago; L. W. Townsend, Of Mont
clair; Colonel Smith, of Wilmington,
and A. F. Switzerland, of Essex County,
ran into another car, and a serious &C
cident was narrowly averted.
The players returned to Apawamis,
too badly scared to try any more golf
for the day.
The Seniors Golf Association will
gather tonight at the clubhouse for
the second annual dinner, with bust
ness meeting as side attraction.
