for the first round:
Havers and Ockendon VS.. Mcleod
and DiegeI.
Cruickshank and Mclean VS.. Brady
and Hutchinson.
French and Hackney VS.. Hagen and
Kirkwood.
This tournament is bound to pro-
duce just about the fastest golT ever
offered south of the Mason and Dixon

sure to be swift is the price list
totaling $4,000 which has been sub

here. The winning pair will draw
$1,000, while the players in the semi
final round will receive $3.50.

this list have played against each
other, but never before has there
been this kind of competition with
sixteen of the best pros engaged.

A player can move his body as much
as he wishes as long as he moves
it by means of the knees. The ma
jority of. golfers turn at the trunk
rather than at the knees, which is
wrong (see the illustration above).
After the ball has been struck the

forward and the shoulder turns un-

of the ball. This:is properly accom-
plished by the slight bending of both
