Pair; Sandersons Score
By Ray Mccarthy

their immediate and respective fam
lilies, gathered at the Sleepy Hollow
Country Club yesterday for the an
nual father-and-son golf tournament.
This was a record entry list and it
was a record breaking tourney in
every way. There were more new
records made on this beautiful course,
that overlooks the Hudson River, than
in any previous event this season.
When the roundup was completed
and the check-up made at gathering
dusk, it was found that more divots
had been dug up and replaced, more
flubs, more sensations and more sur
prises had been made than in any
other meet of the year-the count is
unofficial, but otf-hand we would say
all these numbered about 6,399.
Four prizes were offered, one for
the best gross score and three for the
best low net scores. The Waldos
father Charles G. and son c. Gilbert
from the Brooklawn club, played
around in startling form and came
back with a gross score of 78, which
was by far the best of the whole lot
Accordingly their names Will adorl
the big loving cup that rcposes IN the
Sleepy Hollow club, while gold medals
will adorn their best. or vest, pockets
SweeterS OF Form
The Sweetsers-Jesse who won tho
intercollegiate championship last week
and his pere, who had the best gross
score of 80 last year-were somewhat
off form yesterday and could bring u
but an 85, which, with their handicap
Of plus 2, didn't aid them IN getting
any prizes. VI,
The first low net prize went to "

Tuxedo club. These two used up st
strokes in knocking the little wnlt'
