mer championship honors among golf
ers of both the Shawnee and Country
clubs in Topeka. AT the Country
club Ilif Felix and Monte Kistler bat
tie S6 holes for the club champion
snip. At Shawnee w. L. Bailey and
d. w. Studdard survive the stiff
brackets of play and end the finals.
The Country club tournament was
Tor the 1924 club championship. AT
Shawnee it is a midsummer event and
is curtain raiser for the club cham
pienship which will end just before
the Country club state invitation tour
ney late in August.
The winners of the club champion
ships will play SO holes-1S at Shaw
nee and Is at DHdley-foF the inter-
club summer honors and the j. G.
Wilson cup.
Dope has been upset completely at
the Country club. After the defeat of
Grtggs by Hobart FL, it was figured
that the Hobart-Kistler match would
go to the former and Hobart would
play the winner of the Allen-FeliX
match. The KistIer-Hobart brackets,
however, were badly torn dope sheets.
The defeat of Griggs by Hobart was
surprise and in turn the defeat of
Hobart by Kistler was unlocked for.
Now that Kistier has, indirectly, put
out Griggs, champion or many tour
naments in the past, and has defeated
Hobart, last years eity-wide cham
small proportions in his golf cap. He
meets Ilif Felix. also a veteran cham
pion who, in his brackets, eliminated
Doctor Allen, last seasons club cham
pion, and other players of distinction.
Owing to experience it is doped that
Felix will defeat Kistler. But dope
has been upset before.
The Kistler-Hobart match was q,
thriller. Doctor Hobart played his
tip-top golf, bringing in an 50 on the

At Shawnee the championship lies
between Warren Bailey and D. w
Studdard. Bailey won his way to the
finals by defeating Stinson in the
semi-ffnals. Stinsen has been showing
