III Players Start i'm Fathers
and Sons Tourney at
Sleepy Hollow Club
By Raw Mccarthy

The big annual family goling carni-
val~-the fathers and sons tournament
which is rapidly becoming one of tho
most interesting as we'll as important
events OF the Metropolitan season, was
held yesterday at the Sleepy Hollow
Country Club with a record feld of 1T
competing. There is more real genuine
family feeling shown in this meeting
than in any other we have ever seen,
and its popularity is growing tremen-
dously.
You ali recall the good old-fashioned
picnics, clambakes and corn roasts in
which everybody forgot all@about con-
ventionalities and simply acted natu-
rally That was the spirit which pre-
vailed at Sleepy Holloy yesterday. For
instance, when the rain and hail stones
came. mothers rushed from the club
house to make sure that fathers and
sons went to the locker rooms to change
Immediately, instead Of hanging about
the scoreboard.
"Now, son, you hurry right in and
change your clothing before you catch
cold" we heard one kindly faced mother
remark. And other mothers were just
as interested in the welfare, as we'll
as the scores, of their respective fam
lilies.
While mother. and daughter awaited
the. results at the nineteenth hole
fnthS with his .trusty niblick, and
sen, with his reliable mashie, were
toiling and perspiring for the honor OF
the family. And, take it from the
weather report, yesterday was fine
day to bring out the perspiration. So
much for the color of this yarn.
Allen Family Leads
Getting down to the news, and we
may draw fine for keeping it secret
this long, T. ]. Allen and his son, j. W
Allen, of the home club were the win
ners of the low net prize. They had q
low gross tally of 80, which, with a
handicap of 1s, brought their total
down to II.
DR.. A. T. Haight was probably the
proudest father Of the lot, though. He
raised his boy Richard to be q golfer
but up to yesterday young Dick had
thrown him down mercilessly. Had
never lifted fingsr except in some
minor tournament to help bring home
some silverwarn for the dining table,
Last year, just as his dad got going
we'll, Dick carelessly flubbed several
shots and ruined all chances of win
ming the prize. So the doctor must
have warned his son that if he didn't
give his best efforts this year he'd
get the rod when they got home. In
any event Dick, who will play with the
Princeton team in the intercollegiate
meet this week, played effectively and
teamed up SO we'll with his pater they
won the low gross prize with score

Young Jesse Sweetser, intercollegiate
champion, and his dad had score OF
S8, which was also their net score
inasmuch as they played from scratch

twelve-year-old son, made grand
showing. They had gross tally OF
