suffocating day ever spent on a golf
course" said uif Felix, former state
champion and veteran of the game.
Despite the weather the Topekans
came out in second place. Lawrence
winning first. Furthermore, the To-
pekans refuse to turn in their scores
Waldo Crowder and Professor Nc
Murray of Kansas university played on

Sallee and DR.. George Allen.
Harlow Hurley, Topeka's best anna
teur golfer. has returned from the
western open at Memphis. Hurley was
not able to get into the finals against
such men as Chick Evans and
Bobby" Jones but he offers no alibi.
They played wonderful golf down
there" Hurley says. And 1 am con-
WINGED that Bobby Jones is about the
best golfer have ever seen perform
He is a whiz." Hurley reports that
the game has undergone a radical
heavy and wet and the near ap-
proaches consist of chip and pitch
shots to the pin. The old custom of
playing the BAH short for a green roll
has been discarded.
The Country club won the annual
inter club tournament from the Shaw
nees on the Country club course Sat
urday by a score of AZ to &C. Altho
only thirty fOurSomeS were recorded
as matched between the two clubs
there were at least fifty matches on
the course during the afternoon The
Country club failed to provide proper
scoring facilities and at least twenty
sets of cards were not turned in
The score, however, was one sided and
the lost matches would not have
changed the result. 1t was a. clean cut
victory for the golfers on the Dudley
yard.
1t was one of the prettiest sights
in Topeka golf during the tournament
Never less than three foursomes were
strung along each fairway on the long
holes. The tees were crowded with
golf enthusiasts and the flags were
off the greens most of the afternoon
The Shawnee players were handi-
capped in their putting due to their
closer acquaintance with the sand
greens at home but the tournament
was not lost on the greens 1t was
lost to the better playing of the Coun-
try club players.
The match between Bailey of Shaw
nee, and Snyder of the Country club,
was the feature of the day. These
men came in all square after the eigh-
teen holes. They tied on the first
nine and the second nine and on the
eighteen. Only four Shawnee players
were able to win the maximum of
three points from their Country club
opponents while eight Country club
players turned the trick
This is the last inter-club tourna-
ment this season. The Country club
won from the Shawnees on the latter's
course earlier in the summer.
