Frank w Griggs for the third time
since he started to play golf won the
presidents cup at the Country cluo
thru his victory yesterday over Geo.
Snyder in an all day 36-hole match.
1t was a hard-fought battle from the
beginning and was not decided until
the 35th hole. On his first rouad
Griggs brought in a>77 ana on the sec
ond round he came within one stroke
of tying the amateur record OF =
made the same afternoon by Harlow
Hurley. Griggs's 77-73-15O undoubt-
-edly IS the most consistent day of golf
ever witnessed on the Country club
course. The veteran star had very
few bad holes turnout the many hours
of pay in the hottest weather OF the
season
There was another unusual feature
of the finals OF the presidents cup
tournament. Griggs in the morning
not only played his first eighteen
holes with Snyder but he engaged in
the first round of the club champion
ship with w. d. Updegraff. He de-
was made to match Ed Bracket
against Griggs in the afternoon as
Bracket automatically b e c a m -
fGriEgs's opponent thru his defeat OF
Carruth Friday. But Bracket was
exhausted after his morning play and
did not complete the full days double
header against GTiggs.
The presidents cup tourney was e
handicap affair The championship
matches now on at the Country club
arc on a strict championship basis. In
his match with Snyder Griggs gave
four strikes for the SO holes. At one
time he was two down to his opponent
but rallied and won. George Snyder
has been playing his best golf this
f-season.
one of the surprises OF the day was
the defeat of IIif Felix by Dan stud
dard ut Shawnee in the club chau-
pionship. Studdard brought in a IS,
while Felix was off on his short game
and could only cut a AZ.

And yet these very strange COM
binations have a fascination that
is almost primitive to the modern
woman of this land.
Then there is the FALSELY Shawl,
colorfh too, but in mellow, con-
sentative, restful way. The deli
cate tracery of the world famous
pattern is worked out in rich hues,
with gentle lines of accenting
black curving in and around lines
of cream white. The criminal
practice of cutting up these lovely
things into bands for trimming has.
been rampant the last season. Il
is an abominable fashion to cut up
these exquisite shawls. Each is a
complete and perfect work, and
should remain as such. One part
of it ON a hat, another part FORM
ing a vest, and another handbag
it is sacrilegious!
The real midsummer hit is the
black satin square that madame
wears shawl-wise. She makes it
herself, and lines it with white silk,
or cerise,er jade-whatever shade
her fancy dictates. And then she
edges It with fringe. As long and
as thick as her pocketbook dictates

Tomorrow will be Ladies' Day at

player may shoot a second ball off the

doesn't satisfy. But the second must
be played. It looks like a big day
for the caddies.

What has become of the caddies of
a few short years ago who watched
the ball? Caddfes these days carry
bags, bet on their players, fill up at
the drinking fountains and sell balls
they find when not on duty. The
caddy crop at the Country club this
season IS the largest IN numbers but
the poorest in eyesight in history.
