The capricious FRANKS Of the weather
man in scheduling rather bleak.
cherries day failed in the least to
dampen the ardof of the big field of
elderly golf enthusiasts who gathered
yesterday at the Apawamis Country Club
for the first round of the annual seniors
tournament at that historic course. One
hundred and eighty entrants faced the
starter, and the field contained many of
the prominent men who have made this
one Of the most notable golf events Of
the season.
That is but part of the story Those
who got going yesterday will hold forth
to-day in the second round OF the thirty
six holes schedule. Then on Thursday
the second wave will jump of. The
FORCE now held in reserve numbers
around 120, making a total of 400
players. Quite field as golf fields go.
In yesterdays opening drive nothing
OF sensational nature developed. The
course was heavy from recent rains and
scores as rule ran rather high. Now
and then card was turned in showing
very excellent results, all things con-
sidered. But for the most part. the
| 'boys% approached the scoreboard offer
ing apologies for the figures to be sub
mitted and explaining how things might
! have been considerably different but for
specified mishaps.
Four Glasses Grouped.
| As usual competition is grouped In
four classes. Entrants of fifty-five to
sixty years of age constitute class A /;
sixty to sixty-five. class b sixty-five
to seventy, class c; over seventy years,
class d. Handicaps. however. are not
arranged according to age. BY a
rather peculiar turn of things class D
entrants came home with the low net
scores. Rev. ]. Gray Bolton. a venerable
divine of the Quaker City who had the
low net In his class for the first two
days last year. shot a 80 for the eigh-
teen holes. He is allowed a handicap OF
IS, which gave HIM the low net score
for the day with "a. Right behind him
came DR.. William CARVE of Bass Rock
Gloucester. Mass. who owns to seventy
eight summers. with a net rs. His gross
score was 101, with 26 handicap
w. E. Truesdell. the present Senior
champion gave early indication that he
will prove rather hard man to dis
place by playing around In 81. He and
with c. G. Waldo. Brooklawn enjoy the
distinction Of being the two scratch
players in yesterdays field. Both fall
under class B. The Brooklawn player
however. fell behind with a card of 80
William Clark of Msquamicut gave
Truesdell a close race for the Tow gross
