Another Record
The first invitation golf tournament
ever staged by the Tredyffrin Country
| Club proved a success from every stand
point. \ considerable number of the
leading golfers in this district took part,
and Spcculations that the course record,
set up in practice rounds, would take n
tumble were not in vain.
| For Max NIarstOn, Merton star, set
mark there in the tourney which will
stand considerable assault and battery.
| The Il he made was considered model
of gOlfing efficiency, for the course, like
all the rest of them, is baked to fare
three well making scoring n precarious
| and trcaCherous matter.
You never know where your second
| shot is going to finish, say members,
but Marston had wonderful control and
turned the eighteen holes in just about
as few strokes as humanity possible un-
| dor fhn conditions at thp time.
DR.. Andrew Knox, Frankford, won
his second prize of the season. out there
Mt Paoli by taking down the Trcdyffrin
| Cup, the principal trophy, which was
offered to the player making the lowest
score.
A Neat 20
Knox rcclcd off an so, great scoring
for this comparative nCophyte, and a
handicap of ten gave him the low net
20, without other parlcy than what-is- :

physician heard of his handicap it was
ten. Chairman Charles Hub, Of the
Frankford Handicap Committee, ., sad
this was an error, because it had just
been reduced to eight. Francis b. War
ner, secretary of the Golf Association
of Philadelphia, was then appealed to
and stated that his records showed
Knox's handicap to be seventeen.
At. last accounts, DR.. Knox, the
| Tredyffrin Committee and all others
concerned were willing to let 1t stand
| at ten strokes.
G. O. Suddards and George Hoffner
were tn" only players besides Marston
| to break so, which shows that it was
real feat. A real part Of the success
of the first tourney out there at Paoli
was the activity displayed by j. Cope
Morton, IA cricketer and bilIiardist Of

The golfers were spurrcd on at the
finish by a young ladies' seminary or
