for Players Over S.
Years Old

Of the 20 men of IS years of age
ing in the senior tournament for the
Stanley memorial cup over the links
of the Country Club of Lakewood, only
81 returned cards, the other getting
into more or less difficulty and re-
tiring. The winner was William S. Van
Clief, of the Richmond County Country
Club, who had best gross as we'll as
best net score. In fact, it was his 49,
1913 which prevented at least of
the from posting their scores.
The first pair to start were R. E.
Thibaut, the winner of the tourna-
ment last year, and C. r. Gillett. both
of the Wykagyl Country Club, who
were generally regarded as the two
most likely to win, but they declined
to post their scores after they had
completed the round. Each had gross
scores of over 100
A high wind interfered greatly
with scores. The playing of Mr.. Van
Clief was steady. even though he was
IL strokes over par going out and 5
on the first hole against the wind,
but with it in his favor he got the
second 359 yards in par. In fact, his
playing was excellent for man of his
age. He was only two strokes over
par on the third hole of 3e5 yards,
and two over on the fifth of 375 yards,
both against the wind, while he was
but one over on the fourth, fifth, sew
cnth and ninth holes. having made the
eighth of 465 yards in par.
Better Score Returning.
Coming home he beat par on the
tenth and equalled it on the eleventh,
and was only one over on the twelfth,
thirteenth and fourteenth holes. He
did the fifteenth and sixteenth in par,
but was one over en- the seventeenth
markably fine score was as follows:
Da'::::: fn..:::: ! ! ! sl s5s &ss &ss-ss-,z,s
Only one other man in the tourna-
ment had possible chance to beat this
score. He was George w. Statzell, of
the Aronomink Club, of Philadelphia,
who led the field for the first fourteen
holes, but fell down on the last four
and finished second.
Goes Out in 45
He went out in 45, which is only
seven strokes over par, and of the first
five holes coming in he made two in
par and was one over on each Of the
other three. On the last four holes,
however, he was two strokes over par
on each hole. His score was:

Much was expected of P. S. Nc
Laughlin, Scarsdale, who has been play
ing in the South over sand greens all
winter, but the sudden change to the
turf was trifc too much for him and
he found it taking him three and four
puts on some of the greens.
Another disappointme to his many
friends was Charles l.. Toppin, of the
Garden City Club, who is capable Of a
far better score than he made on this
occasion.
