The Data
The succulent data given above Is
not warranted strictly accurate, since
II was not kept day by day. But IL 1t
isn't close enough to serve the main
purpose, it ought to be.
Tcwksbury Is handed first place be-
cause he came through the toughest side
Of the tourney entries and only lost the
amateur title before some super golf
shots. His feat of beating Platt,. Max
well and TIoffner in row at Lu Lu
won't soon be forgotten.
Marston should be placed about even
with the Aroniminkcr, but failed to
snter the local championships or any OF
the essentially Philadelphia tourna-
ments. except the dinner event, and at
Tredyffrin He arranged his starts be-
fore the season started and stuck to 1t,
showing golf which only Tewksbury
equaled.
Woody Patt went abroad, where he
was picked by no less judge than
Bill Fownes to have the best chance OF
the Americans to win the British ANA
teur on the draw and Platt's form,
which was truly brilliant at the start
Of the season. Platt, however, tumbled
into serious injury, had painful lay
Of, came home in all the fury of the
local battle and never reached last
years winning stride in Journeys. He
was beaten by Hoffner in the amateur,
which is the reason George gets third
place. ahead Of Platt. Hoffner's record
Tor the season places him next to
Marston.
Won Three
Norman Maxwell follows Platt, though
he won three tournaments and beat
Platt. Maxwell failed to join the
Lesley team when it needed his services
badly and suffered some unexpected
trounCings. The tournaments 'he won
did not have the strongest fields avail
able, but Maxwell showed plenty for
fifth place. The rest Of the ranking,
we trust, is rank enough to suit every
body.
The tournament season was n sue
cess, though 1t lacked some of the zip
OF the year before. because more than
one popular tilt was dropped. Llanerch,
North Hills. Bala and Merton all failed
10 hold their invitation events.
The biggest surprise of the season
was when l.. +. Dcming. the veteran,
won the Philadelphia championship by
beating Paul Tewksbury. 1t was Dem
lng's day. His medal 100 presented
patch. play difficulties for anybody and
iewksbury. the favOrite, had to bow ia
defeat. Platt won the medal by break
Ing the course record.
Huntingdon Valley won the major
team championship by trouncing Ce-
aarbrook surprise to many. The
Noble Club played Dwight Armstrong
ana Horace Cook, two members. but
experts who seldom enter other Phila
oeiphia competition. Some definite
ruling on this matter is expected tc
De made at the next golf meeting.
As Expected
iAronimink won the suburban team
ut!e as expected, though it came sur
prsngly close to defeat once or twice.
Youngsters and newcomers played nm
important part in more than one tour
aAment. The junior event had record

select by winning.

SH,e title In the Lesley Cup matches
