nv Il. A. BRIDGEWATER.

a.eur golf champion, played true to
form yesterday and turned IN the
medal score in the qualifying round
og the Tulsa Country clubs annual
club championship tournament.
Kennedy won't around in II 20 lead
a field of ITO contestants, the larg-
est number by far ever entering for
a gl,y tournament here.
Flint Moss with an 80 was Ken
rcdya nearest rival. and hut for bad
fortune nj the nth green, where he
rsaulrcd nine strokes to make n par
four hole, Moss would have COPIED
the days honors from the state
champion. Moss had a par 35 for
the first time. but required 45 for
the now south nine.
New Greens Mako IL Hard.
Those nine new grass gr~cns. just
completed, and the pride OF
John W. Frances, the g"reenskeeper,
who sup~erintendcd their construc-
ton. we're played for the first time
Yesterday and proved exceedingly /
difficult because the players were
not familiar with the distances, holes,
etc. Nearly everybody required
several more strokes for the new
nine than for the nine sand green's
making up the first half of the 18th
hole course. Putting was more diff
fgult for most contestants, as they
had not been accustomed to tho
grass. The general la of the new
greens delighted everybody, however.
and as the Erouid gets more firm and
the players grow accustomed to the
grass the south nine probably viii
be no harder than the north.
The first round Of match play in
all three classes Of the club cham
pionship tournament will open today.
Contestants in the first round WY
have until next Friday night to play
their matches. and will arrange time
OF play to suit themselves Several
probably will be played today. The
second round will start next SHtur-
day. a week also being devoted to
Il. The finals In the tournament
will not be reached until late in the
month.
There will be trophies for the win
ner and runner-up in each lass,
and also consultations in each d.
vision.
Much Interest in Tourney.
Club officials said last night that
more interest is being taken in TINS
tournament than In any former !
championship. Not only was the
entry list larger than ever before,
but more Of those starting finished
and turned in cards instead of quit
ting when they got far behind.
Despite the trouble practically |
everybody had with the new grass
greens It took n 81 to get In class
c, the as best scores being 81 or
under. II required a 80 to get In
class b, and the highest score In
class A was SO.
