An innovation will be attempted
in the Middle Atlantic tournament
this season, owing to the fact that
darkness settles rather early at this
time of the season. For the first
day the field will play over 10
holes. Those whose scores are
good enough to put them within so
or 20 places of the winner, win
compete the following two days.
This is the only solution deemed
wise to have the entire field COM
plete their rounds before darkness.
The public in invited to witness
the play of these professionals and
amateurs. An admission charge Of
one dollar will be charged to help
defray expenses: Of the classic and
to increase the size Of the purses
for the lucky ones.
