strokes. which landed them six better

all its stages of enthusiasm. from rising
young fathers with their progeny OF
tender years to staid business and pro-
fessional men we'll along toward the

the Princeton team. and r. A Hsight of
MassapeQua, all fine players. Stearns

However, II was a bad day for low
handicap teams. Three started from
scratch. but they could never develop
the team work that the Handicapped
thought their best form entitled them
to. J. n. Stearns and Stearns, Jr.. were
started from scratch. but somehow they
failed to link up their good work. and
their card showed a total Of 80 for the
round.
DR.. A. T. Haight and Richard Haight
of Massapequa Jared best of those
started from scratch. They had a card
of SO. A. B. Ashforth and A. B. Ash

The winning team developed some
thing of a surprise. It was favored with
the top handicap: Strangely enough,
when the tournament was last played in
1917. they worked with the same handi-
cap, but withai did no better than a

George E. Sweetser and j. w. Sweet

w. Maxwell and H. w. Maxwell. Jr..
tied this net and provided the second
low gross with sS-5-s3. Pres. Francis

NJ Prescott and Sherburne Prescott. an
other Garden City pair, with handicap

No better proof OF the ever increasing
popularity Of this tournament need be
cited than to call attention to the In
crease in entries. Eighty-two pairs sent
in their entries for the event and all
but two OF these entered competition
Unfortunately one disqualification was
entered when the Junior member of one
team, after missing a short putt, care
lessly tapped the ball into the cup in
stead OF allowing his father to do 30.
