Those saddened college graduates who
recently have been brought to a realiza-
tion OF their own unworthiness by COM
ing face to face with Thomas A. Edison
and his questionable might possibly
have taken a renewed interest in life
had they watched the golfers of the New
York Athletic Club wrestle yesterday at
Fox Hills with a set OF conditions i'm
posed upon them by an ingenious and
energetic committee with an apparently
unquenchable thirst for novelty.
Golfers when they are called to a
tournament OF one days duration 90
prepared for little exercise in simple
addition and subtraction. but they had
such tangle Of match and medal play
in this particular event that only few
OF the contestants appeared to know
what il was all about. The great ma
jority kept on going just as they were
told, and then put II SO squarely up 10
the committee that G. c. Mobiles OF
White Beeches and Theodore Cassebeer
Of Oakland were forced to admit one 10
the other, 1T was all very easy arrang-
ing this tournament but It is real
mans job figuring it all out at the
finish"
What the Winged Foot wearers were
supposed to do was just this: In the
morning they qualified at scratch over
nine holes and then started out in sets
or four for match play. In one party
No. l would be playing No and No 3
having IL out with No. 4. These
matches would terminate at the ninth
hole, after which the victorious pair
would play the incoming nine. while the
losers would also get together in sort
OF consolation.
1t was quite a novelty. but as noted.
it had its shortcomings, for after playing
out their afternoon round many OF the
groups OF four did not seem much the
wiser. So while Tom Boyd. the Fox
Hills professional, explained what they
should have done the committeeman had
10 60 all through the cards to find out
who had beat who. Then another wild
eyed group would come in with about
substantially the same appeal
Say, how do we score this tournament
anyway play Jones, don't l? Oh. l
should have played Smith? That's too
bad. Gosh. thought had to play
Jones eighteen noles.
Tom boyd IL Kept Busy-
Then Tom Boyd would take the group
to one side and explain that there was no
eighteen hole mate TO IL. And when the
light finally dawned there would De
chorus OF agonizing shrieks.
"Well. what do you know about thar
Brown would exclalm. II have been
licked by Smith when all the time
thought l was playing eighteen holes
with Jones'"
The tournament committee failed to
announce II as such, but this was jazz
tournament IL ever there was one. 1t
was jazz even to the distribution OF the
prizes. for while there we're awards for
low gross, low net. for the winner or the
many regular, Irregular ard consolation
divisions, these we're drawn for, and the
star OF the day or the worst duffer IN
the field could get the silver inkstand,
walking cane, a golf club or deck o.
| cards.
| In the afternoon Ranney showed Cas-
sebeer what he was about by romping of
with the gross honors with a card OF
so and also by going all the way through

composed OF Ca&ebeer. Richard, MOBILES

nine Cassebeer and Ranney both won
after an extra hole, and then the Green

camp on the remaining half BY 3 and z
Mobiles and Richard had II out In the

this time, scoring 40 for each half OF the
