CHENEY PROBABLY
SENIOR GOLF CHAMP
South Manchester Man May
Repeat His Win

John p. Cheney of South Man.
chester. chan pion of the Connecti-
cut State Senior Golf association for
the past three years, had apparently
repeated his previous triumphs with
another victory over the Shuttle
Meadow links here. indications were
when more than half of the cards
had been turned in this afternoon.
He shot gross of so in today's IS
hole round, which, with his 81 made
yesterday, gave him a gross of 161
for the SO holes and put him at the
front of those who had finished.
Z. Tredennick of Highland was
his nearest rival. Tredennick, Who
scored low gross yesterday with an
so, struck hard going today and
pile up an 81 for a total of 1854.
None of the other senior golfers
who had finished had scores ap-
preaching those of Cheney and
Tredennick.
E. Allen Moore of this city, who
came in first yesterday with a net
of e., continued his good work to-
day with net IS, making him the
lowest man so far with net OF 14o.
He made a gross Of 95 this after
noon, his handicap Of % bringing
his score down to rs.
F. S. Slossen Of Greenwich was
second with a 6S today added TO
Yesterdays 70 to give him total OF
al, one more than Moore's.
f. A. Moore Leads
E. Allan Moore. playing on MS
home course, led the field of 81 en-
tries in the first round of the tour
nament yesterday with net score
of 81. The entry who comes through
the is holes today with the lowest
net score for the two days play IN
the So hole tournament Will be de-
clared the champion OF the seniors
for the coming year. j. Z. Cheney'
defending champion and winner OF
the title for the past three success
sive years, had a gross of 81, which,
with his handicap OF 7, gives MIN
a net of "A for the first round.
Moore had gross of SO which.
with his handicap OF 20, gives him
net Of 81.
Exceptional scores were turned IN
all during the is holes yesterday.
The seniors, each man at least 90
years young, would put to shame
many a younger man who consio-
ers himself in his golting prime.
The success of the players, IN
great measure, was due to the eN-
cellent condition of the course. NO
where in the state is there a golf
course so well cared for as at Shut
tie Meadow. Val Flood, pro ana
ereenskeeper, demonstrated the
fruits of his more than so years
experience in this line to no pet
ter advantage than at the present
time when the greens are like velvet
and the fairways things of beauty
For golfng, the tees, fairways, the
l ough and the greens are as near
10 perfection as is humanity pos
sible to make them.
Ed Tredennick of the Highland
Country club had 4 gross score OF
so, the lowest for the day. Jack
Cheney of South Manchester fo!-
lowed him with 81 while W. Z.
Cheney was next with an S4. W. A.
Rice of New Haven sped around IN
Sc to tie with A. II. Chase OF Nor
vich. In the field, IA of the goit-
ers came in either in or under w
gross.
It will be tough shedding for the
champion to come through TO re-
neat his title winning stunt again
today because he will be called on
to shoot remarkable golf to do II.
He is the lowest handicap man on
the list, only seven strokes being
allowed him in the play.
Ed Tredennick just barely missed
breaking so, although that gave
him low gross. He got in trouble on
the eighth and chalked up a seven
to rob him of a lower gross thah
he had. He had a As going out and
a 81 coming in.
