Good IN Practice
Most every one out there was familiar
with the record and play of Marston
and Travers, the latter formerly open
and amateur champion of this country.
This pair have been practicing studi-
ously and had best ball of 60 sat

hard match to the end. y
After Shawnee Thursday and Friday,
hs British pair will HE them to Wash =
inyton for the open golf championship
Il the United States.
There has seldom been such interest

one Of the finest fields II ever had. The
title hns been defaulted by Ted Ray
last years winner. The British player
has sent back the cup. It's an open
scramble now for 232 stars of many
Hear and fnr Lying districts.
A good many local players will com.
pete, and of particular interest is the
entry of Frank Coltart, Philadelphia

eomers to this country and district this
