GOLFERS GIVE S2S3
TO FRESH AIR FUND
Record Field Plays for Prizes at
Shuttle Meadow Course

Yesterday proved to be a day of fine
rolf at the Shuttle Meadow club
course, where the annual Fresh Air
tournament was under way. Probably
the largest field that has ever started
over any links in the state played
around. the last man finishing Just as
It became too dark to play any more.
One hundred thirty-nine people paid
So apiece toward the enrichment of
the Fresh Air Fund and as an entry
fee to the tournament, making a to-
tai OF $3.50 collected. The odd amount
Is due to the fact that few dollars
over the entry fees were collected IN
several cases.
There were comparatively few
players who elected to have their
matches in the morning hours, most
of the field getting away in the after
noon. F. II. Jarvis of Hartford, for
mer Connecticut champion, was one
of the early golfers and hung up
73 gross and Sc net for the rest of
the players to shoot at" 1t looked
until late in the afternoon, as If his
score would easily be low gross but
w. j. Sweeney, captain of the Shuttle
Meadow club team turned out In the
afternoon and shot a beautiful II
which proved to be the low gross of
the day. Mr.. Sweeney was going
wonderfully well and missed COM
paratively short putt for a 8 on the
long 18th, which would. have given
him 70 had 1t dropped.
DR.. F. Zwick, with a handicap of 81
strokes, shot an IS gross for the Is.
giving him a net score of 5S, which
was low net for the day.
F. H. Jarvis was second low gross
with his 73 and got the prize for this
score. A visiting golfer from Wor-
cester,' Mass, C. A. Harrington. made
a net of 50 for second low net, shoot
ing total of 81 with a handicap of
20.
H. kicker's Event
In the kickers' handicap event
there were no less than 10 people
whose total score, minus the kickers'
handicap selected brought them

happened to be 70. Those who fin
ished in the. tie were: A. c. Mci<innie.

were three prizes offered one first |
and two seconds. In anticipation OF |
a tie it had been stipulated that the |
ownership of the prizes would be de- !
cided by drawing the first and two |
seconds from the names of those who |
finished on the hidden number. Con- |
sequently the name of each successful |
man was written on a card and the |
cards spread out on the grass /
Sandy" a cocker spaniel pup with !
liking for pieces of paper and who !
has been taught to fetch and carry, |
made the drawing. He was told to |
fetch one of the cards. He did not /
hesitate long before bringing back the !
card with Mr.. SATELLITES name on It. |
Mr.. Sutcliffe was therefore awarded /
the first prize. 1t is a peculiar fact |
In this connection that Mr.. Sutcliffa |
was the only man in the winners Ill |
vision who had picked 10 for kick !
ers' handicap. SANDY" evidently |
realized his responsibility a little |
more when picking the other winners. |
At any rate he hesitated longer before
making a choice, picking up and dis !
carding some of the cards before
bringing the two other winners back, /
one by one. The names on the cards
were those of Stanton Ashley and Il
Kenneth Searle who got the two sec
ond prizes. II
