of the most notable oarsmen In the
world and all of Martie Cassidy's best
customers will take part in the second
annual open golf championship Of the
played over the links of the Philadel-'
phia Country Club on Monday.
The play will be over thirty-six
holes of medal play, every man for
himself, and the lowest card turned in
gets the title. You can't tell what the
other boys are making by watching
, them play and there are many surprises
when the scores are chalked up.
Nearly sixty entries have been
turned in already, and the entries are
expected to touch the hundred mark
tonight at the "Gunboat" when the
Falls citizens really turn out for their
weekly golf mass meeting.
Vim O'Donnell is chairman Of the
committee running the event. a purse
rivaling that of the district open is
expected to be offered, with plate for
the amateurs.
Competition
Bill Leach won the title last year
over the busted sticks of the pack but
he will have a job on his hands to re-
! peat Monday. Jack Sawyer, Charlie
| Hoffncr, Tony Natalie. Bob Barnett,
Bill Byrne, Matt Duffy, Jim Dough-
crty, Alex Douglas and some of the
other prominent local professionals
will be in there to give him a healthy
run for it.
Even Jack Kelly and Paul Costello,
worlds champion doubles oarsmen, are
taking a fling at it, though oars. are
barred in the traps. Robert Ransford,
n prominent amateur, is among those
entered.
The Falls is a regular hot bed Of golf.
Every native Of the section was weaned
/ ON nlOliC and some of our best pro-
, iessionals, Jack Burke, for instance,
have been produced right there.
The only and original nineteenth
hole Of this city is at Cassidy's little
restaurant called the "Gunboat." Golf
arguments are won and lost nightly in
there. The pass word is "mashie," the
high sign hip pivot, the srip-inter-
locking.
Every able bodied citizen is present
Saturday night for the debate and
. they're all booked for a match Sunday
before they leave the place.
So it's natural they should have a
tournament It's what You might call
taxing the argument outdoors.

Caddy Tourney
In the meantime n lot Of care is be-
ing taken of the caddies at Hunting
don Valley. They are in the throes Of
their annual tournament, and it looks
as though some hot duellos will be
pUt on.
Most of tho boys in the play are
pretty well grown up, but there's one,
T. Null, only fourteen, who looks like
conner.
Swinging n braNsy manfully without
once letting it throw him. this midget
went out in J3 and only took 107 to-
tai. He just missed the first fight.
e. O'Neill was low with A. 42-S6.
Others who made the first fight in the
qualifying round this week we're: Joe
Kolback. 42. 51-93; T. Panacion,
A, j3-97 l.. Lee. Al. 50-97; W.
Sullivan, II, 5O-1O1 +. Harris, 81,
52-103; l.. Riggs. "A, 51-105, and
J. Kenny, A., JS-10j.
The tournament for the employees,
which always gets big hand, is said to
have been postponed till September. It
wouldn't be a tourney without Thomas
! Kccvil, the expert steward and he's
vaCationiug.
