Barre Golf Club Defeated

ton, s to 5
GEORGE FRASER BROKE
THE COURSE RECORD
Former Barre Man, Now a
Professional, Made A 81
Saturday

Thirteen members of the Waubanakee
Golf club of Burlington, who Travelled by
automobile to Barre on Saturday TO play
their return match game with the Barre
club, brought over their best players to
try to beat the undefeated Barre club,
but failed in their mission, as the Barre
club won out by the score of 5 to 5. The
Burlington club brought over its profess
sional, George Fraser, and he was
matched against William Johnston, ex-
state champion.
This game was easily the best of the
afternoon, as Mr.. Fraser played perfect
golf and at the end of his first round
he had lowered the course record by
playing a 81. The record for the Barre
course was 80, and it was held for a
long time by George Alyes, now one of
this country's leading professionals, be-
ing now in Cleveland, 0. Mr.. Fraser,
while member Of the Barre club, tied
Mr.. Alyes' record, although Mr.. Alves
still holds the record for the is holes,
having a score of 80 and 80. Mr., Fraser's
round on Saturday really was better
than the 81 he got, as he drove his first
ball out of bounds, going to the fifth
hole, and therefore had to play another
off the tee, counting stroke two. Mr..
Fraser is driving a much longer ball now
and proved that on Saturday, when he
drove ball right on TO number eight
green from the tee, distance of $50
yards. This is something that never has
been done before in the history of the
club, although some of the present mem
bsrs have been very close to it.
A light lunch was srved after the
game on Saturday, which was heartily
enjoyed by all. Much credit is due Mrs.
Henry Petrie, who had charge OF the
same, also to Mrs William Mathieson
and Mrs David r. Stuart, who assisted
her,
Word was received Saturday by the
secretary of the Barre club that the two
professionals who were to play an eXhi-
bition game on the Barre course could
not be here as Carl Anderson, one of the
two, had to return to New York, and
he states that it will be another month
vet before he will be able to appear in
Barre. 1t seems too bad, as the officials
of the Barre club were to have had the
two experts look over the city pasture
and see what they thought OF it for a
new golf course.
