The players will be divided into three
classes according to their handicap, and
there will be a prize for the low gross
and for the low net. so that every player
will have n chance. 1t will probably be
the last dinner tournament that the as :
sociation will hold. as these prohibition
dinners of the future are not the sort

diners.
The showing of the Philadelphia
women in the Griscom Cup matches
New Workers figured that our women
would win. Most of the matches were
close and the only explanation for the
defeat of the Philadelphians is that the
local women were overgolfed. They hat
just gone through a very hard series ol
matches in the Philadelphia Cup anG
Suburban Cup competitions, and ther
to have the championship follow few
days later with all the strain of five
days of play was too much.
There is no doubt that the Philadel-
phians had the better team and there is
no question that the New Workers were
in much better physical condition thar
our women.

TIlE higher handicHp women are go
l. ing TO have the Ida T.. Dixon cup
all to themselves today nj the Spring
haven Country Club. II is n handicap
event. and for this reason il is very
difficult for the scratch women to win
it. They did play in tho first compc
tition. but last year when the contest
was held at tho Wilmington Country
Club none of tho scratch stars appeared.
Just as the scratch players have little
opportunity of winning handicap
event unless they make very low scores,
50 the higher handicap women have
not chance in the world of getting
the GciSt cup or the Mary Thayer
Farnum cup. The Dixon cup has been
won twice and. strangely enough. it
has gone to two Whitemarsh Valley
Country Club women. Mrs. j. Wallace
Turnbull and Mrs. f. II. Ware. In
cidentally, it was the first time that
Mrs. Ware had ever registered a score
under a hundred when she won the
cup.
Big Entry List
The entries for the Fridolyn Cup
next Saturday at the PhilmOnt Country
Club are coming in very fast, and
while the entries have not closed,
Henry Strouse has more than 100
names of those who will play. There
is every indication that somewhere
around 200 men and women will play
in this interesting event. While the
afternoon hours are pretty well taken
&c ,1a of
morning play. Those who would rather
play when the field is not so congested
would do well to apply for morning
| hours.
| While the Shawnee tournament will
have the Fridolyn event and the an =
nual dinner tournament Of the Golf
Association of Philadelphia as con =
ficting tournaments this week, the in
dications are that somewhere around
! fifty Phiadelphians will play in the
! BuckwOod tournament, which Will
begin on Thursday. The topnotchers
from this city who have entered are
Eddie Styles and Jimmie Gray. Fred
Knight. George Hoffner and Wood and
thinner platt are bit uncertain
Ed Satterthwaite, Herb Newton and

will play. and the entries from this
city will be as representative as they
have been in the past.
Should BE Record List
There is every indication that th'
entry list for the annual dinner tourna
ment at Merton on Thursday will b.
the largest in the history Of the associa
ton. One of the pleasant features o
this tournament is that any four mel
can make up their own four ball match
and all they have to do is to indicat
the time they want to start.
Those who want to play all day il

AN APPRECIATION

The Dallas Express is for Dallas
especially devoted to Negro Dallas.
We are always ready and happy to
tell the world of those who are work
ing to advance civilization in this
city. To our attention has been call
ed the work of Mrs. Mary J. Miller
Earl in the Community service at
this point.
Mrs. Earl organized the people of
all classes here and set the town
pulsating with the purpose of the
service, she sponsored because of
her tact common sense and sunny
disposition. There was no friction
whatever. The people soon saw her
devotion to Negro interest and the
city fell in love with her and cheer
fully followed her leadership.
Her personality leaves high
standard set for Dallas womanhood
and that Dallas knows "the good"
is proven by the many presents Civ
en- Mrs. Earl when she left us for
her new field of endeavor.
Mrs. Miller Earl is the widow Of
DR.. Earl, formerly a prominent ply
sician in South Carolina and is the
daughter of ex-Congressman tom
Miller" OF that state. lti
Mrs. Earl is race woman in her
own personality.

ME Lucas. Hardeman Martin, Ether

the chautauqua will be repeated next
year.
Dallas, Texas, Aug. 16, 1919.
Editor Dallas Express:
In reply to your letter, thank
you for commencing Macedonia and
her pastor for casting our influence
on the side of peace, law and order
in the critical times during our
Chautauqua-
At the beginning / had planned
with my people to devote the Chau-
tauQua to the things religious and
intellectual. AS most generally
have done in the others. have held /;
but events arose so that / saw that
Dallas needed a friend and as a
soldier for the Prince of Peace
had to enter under my masters ban
ner.
am proud and happy that the
people white and black feel that our
chautauqua helped carry our city
peacefully past the riot insanity, then
sweeping the country.
The foregoing letter is an express
sion that typifyes the safe conser-
vative leadership supported by the
Negroes of Dallas. This church rep
resents the mass of our Negro pop
ulation. 1t has the largest mem
bership in the South, reputed to be
four thousand.
An expression from this body is
indicative of general Negro thought
in this community.
Macedonia at the suggestion of its
pastor decided to hold a religious
and intellectual series of meetings.
They called it a chautauqua. Just
when these meetings were about to
begin, Dallas in common with other
cities in the country that have large
Negro population grew uneasy over
its Race Questions" When this be-
came.
We, at Macedonia want love and
peace to fill the hearts of all our
citizens toward each other, yet at
the same time we are uncompromis-
ingly against all forms of arrogance
and expressions that deprive any
American citizen of his governmental
rights. And we stand firmly with
those persons who are trying to
preserve lofty ideals Of Americanism
by sane methods.
In closing let me give full credit
to my committees and co-laborers
for whatever success come to us.
Without the loyalty of the persons
composing, these committees and my
co-labers. the results you mentioned
could not have been obtained.
Yours for humanity,
e. ARLINGTON WILSON, Pastor.
