Golf Championship in Sensational Finish on
Snare Captures
Senior Golfers
Title With 102
Recently Elected President
of National Association
Also Makes Course Record

1t isn't often that 81 president Of n
golf association is also IT'S champion,
yet that is what this week brought
forth to Frederick Snare, of Garden
City. Snare, who hss been leading the
field all week in the annual seniors
tournament at the Apawams Club, won
the chief honors with q thirty-six hole
total Of 1862, two strokes better than
his nearest rival, Martin j. Condor, of
Memphis, last years winner.
At the annual meeting held on
Wednesday, Snare was elected presi-
dent of the United States Seniors Golf
Association to succeed Frank Presbrey,
and although he did not realize it at
that time, he had already won the golf
competition. He was one Of the few
who played round in the storm on
Tuesday, when he had the satisfaction
of returning card Of n, the lowest
ever made in seniors event, and on
the following day took 85 for total
Of 1872.
There were only three men who had
chance to beat Snare for first posi-
tion. They were II. S. Redfeld, Of
Hartford; James Tying, OF the National
Links, and Condor. The last named,
starting his last eighteen holes yes
terday, had 79 to his credit, but he
needed an IS for his second circuit.
Redfeld and Tying each had chalked
up an 81, but the Connecticut man took
SO for his next attempt, end Tying put
himself out of the running entirely
with 90.
With great deal Of figuring and
shifting still to be done it IS
impossible to pick out the abso-
lutte winners Of each division for each
