ent Golf--se Low Net So Far.
 Despite the heat today. there was e
 fair representation of New Britain
 golfers entered in the Fresh Air tour
 nament, at the Shuttle Meadow club.
 Before an early hour this afternoon.
 42 paid entries were recorded. a total
 of ss2 for the Fresh Ar fund. It Is
 expected that later on the afternoon
 the entries will come thick and fast
 and that the money will pile up ap-
 preciably until good sum has been
 realized.
 The fairways today were hard and
 very fast due to the dryness, and even
 the veriest dud got a long shot most every time due to the roll. This dis concerting fact upset many who had estimated their usual game when handing in a "knickers" number. It also aided the low scores and 1t will not be surprising if some very re- markable scores are handed In before the day is over.
 Scores Up To Noon.
 Those who had finished by noon and who had turned in cards that looked as If they might be possible prize winners were, Jim Kelly, J. Began and the Rev. Samuel Sutcliffe. The clergyman has twice been a prize winner in Fresh Ar events. Began handed in card which carried a gross of 7s with a 15 handicap, mak- ing 6s net. Rev. Mir. Sutcliffe also had a net of ss with total of S6 and a handicap of 20. Jim Kelly's card was 81. He had 10 handicap mak- ing net of II. It is quite possible that these scores will be beaten this aftrenoon, however.
 In the kickers' event there were several who had chosen q handicap that, subtracted from their gross, would bring them within the 70 to 80 range of the hidden number. They were Dr. c. Nj. Van Duzer, 79; Jim Kelly, 7e; H. H. Wheeler. 70; Rev. Samuel Sutcliffe. 75: Val Flood, "A; A. F. Corbin, 7s: Jack Higgins, 73: S. J. Cook, "A; H. E. Anderson. 77; J. Began, "A: Mrs. E. N. Humphrey, TT; William Atwood, 74, and George Linder, 70. It was necessary to make ] special rule for ladies who wished 10 enter and possibly qualify for the kickers' prize as there were no special events for ladies. They were allowed 10 play, however, and the starter de- ,ided to multiply their score for nine holes by two and subtract from the | sum obtained the kickers' number | chosen. This ruling Mrs. Humphrey | observed and Is one of those to qual- | fly, though the full story will not be | inown until the hidden number is displayed. Two boys, Billy Atwood, ,on of w. E. Atwood and George finder, son of T. r. Linder, were able o qualify in the kickers.
 Only two dollars in two days and wo more days before the end of the lppeal, with $400 yet to go, is the ituation as the fund now stands. Two lollars received since Monday after loon makes q total of $5100 and the ,oal is $500. Aren't there a few uore people in New Britain who as hey sweter and suffer in the terrific ummer heat have feeling of sym ,athy for undernourished children NTO are lut SO well to "ith- tand the extremely hot weather?
 The fund stands today as follows: reported ....... $509S.80 friend 100 frs, Paul Smith .......... 100
