Apawamls the cream of Westchester tai
ent will compete for supremacy in that
district Play will start in each case on
Thursday and continue through Satur-

An Ambitious Golfer.
The fact that the game can be played
leisurely. without undue physical EFFORT
and minus any likelihood Of overtaxa-
ton. has no place in the golfing habitf
Of some of the young and robust ex-
ponents OF the game around Philadel-
phia. Several weeks ago Fred Knight
caused mild sensation by going out and
playing eight rounds in one day, aver
aging slightly less than eighty-hve
strokes for the full distance.
Now comes an even moro ambitious
effort by Eddie Styles of Old York Road
Styles completed ten rounds Of $50 holes
on his home course few days ago
before he called II day. HeA began
at s :53 o'clock In the morning and
finished at S:32 In the evening. He had
an average of slightly less than so
strokes per round. And by way of show
ing that he was still going strong h
did the last nine holes In SO, just one
stroke over par.
No doubt the two victories over A. L
Walker. Jr., and W. A. Barber. Jr. by
W. E. Truesdell. the Garden City links
veteran. and his elderly partner, George
II. Croker. at Ekwanok tho past week
were a source of considerable pleasure
to the Garden City player. 1t will be
recalled that Walker defeated him In
the final match Of the mid-winter tour
nament at Pinehurst last winter.
Lieut. Oscar E. Carlson of 6!wanoy
who has just returned from overseas
service in France. watched Walter
Hagen through his nnal round at North
Shore Friday. He has not yet beer
mustered out of service He states that
he had a chance to play a few rounds
Of golf at Nice, but doesn't feel good
enough to get Into the Westchestei
championships
Can't beat the Fox Hills crowd fol
holing out IN one. Spurred on by the
example OF a club member who regis
tered two such performances within a
few weeks of each other recently, Arthur
Dawson pulled n one on the fifth hole
last week. Meantime Tom Boyd. pro
fessional at the course, is smiling
Every time the boys sink one Ton
collects. and he's getting 'em in spite Of
the prohibition law, too.
