Contest for Cup
Handicap Tournament Has Thirty.
Two Entries-Items of Special
Interest to Players

Annual Club Handicap tourna-
ment of the Sank Centre Country
Club, with thirty-two entrants list
ed and paired in four flights, the
winners of which will battle it out
for the championship and the tro-
ply to be awarded the champion.
Prizes will also be given to flight
winners, the money received from
entry fees to be used for this
purpose.
With special interest attaching
to the event because the lowly
duffer has the same chance to cop
the cup as has the seasoned golfer,
every match is being watched
closely and speculation is rife al
ready as to the probable winner.
Match play is a new experience to
most of the players entered and
for this reason also interest is
running high.
For the benefit of the general
public the names and pairings Of
the entrants have been posted in
the north window of the Corner
Drug store, together with the
championship trophy. Results of
the matches will be placed on the
sheet as soon as played. While
the betting will probably be heavy
everyone is warned to look out
for the dark horses. The strategist
will win. The thirty-two players
were divided into four flights, &C
cording to their handicap ratings:

Quite a number of local golf
enthusiasts will make the trip to
Minneapolis next week to attend
the National Amateur. Opportun-
ity to watch the leading amateur
stars in action is rather rare in
this section and thousands will be
in the galleries at the premier
golfing event of the season. With
the exception of Jess Sweetser,
British Amateur champion, all the
greats will be there, prominent
among whom are Bobby Jones,
George Won Elm, Francis Quimet,
George Weight, Watts Gum, Max
Marston, Bob Gardner, Chick
Evans, Bon Stein, Eddie Held and
Jimmy Johnson.
Women's day at the Country
Club Friday of last week saw the
largest turnout of the season
when twenty-five ladies discarded
high heel long enough to shoot
nine holes in varying figures. Irene
Moynihan and Mrs. Glen Otis, who
has been visiting here, divided
honors with scores of So each. Mrs.
Halvor Halvorson and Mrs. V. T.
Conklin were hostesses.
Sank Centre and the local golf
course received some desirable
publicity in the September issue of
the 10000 Lakes Golfer in con-
nection with the results of the
Central Minnesota tournament at
Little Falls. Walter Moynihan, the
champion, was pictured under the
