X. Roesch, of Washington Golf
and Country, in reaching
the semi finals Of the Bannock-
burn invitation tournament
and he appeared to be the most
formidable player in the quar-
tet who teed off today in the
championship flight.
This, Of course. largely because
Of Franks sparkling play YESTERDAY.
The slender star when hot" they
say, is a golf genius. AL HGughton
the Manorite, must have thought
this the case when Roesch put him
out in the second round.
It's true that Al was not well
on his game, but to quote him:
Even If / had beef going good
l doubt il the result would have
been tremendously different"
He lost, and 5. and 1t was the
worst drubbing HOughtOn has
been given since long before he
became a recognized star. +. L.
BurgdOrf was ROesch's sands
victim in the first round.
Today Roesch meets Albert r..
Mackenzie, who removed Bill Cox
from his path to the semi-firals. In
the other bracket young Karl Kel-
lerman meets the Middle Allan
champion, nonchalent Harry Pitt.
keIlerman had the distinction of
eliminating the medalst.~ John
Shorey, in the first round. This wss
a sure enough skirmish, ending with
Karl l up. Shorey is the District
junior champion and Kellernan ore
OF the finest golfers in this section
Of the land. and it is an interesting
fact that Shorey has never beaten
Kellerman in match play. They
have met about four times.
Bill White. the Beaver Dam
greens chairman, was eIimi-
mated the first round Of the see.
Ond sixteen. but he will hear
fond memory Of the RannOck-
burn tournament. Bill made
hole in one while playing out
a consolation round with j. l..
QuigIey, Of Indian Spring, after
having lost, and 6.
Bills ace came on the deceptive
180-yard thirteenth. 1t was an odd
one, too.
That's no good" muttered Bill as
he took what he thought to be too
much turf. Instead of being short,
as expected, the ball cleared the
dItch fronting the green and rolled
several yards into the cup.
1T may be recorded az tho onIv
hole-in-one shot ever made that was
condemned as flub.
The sport itself may be the i'm
| portant thing, but it's not aII.im
| portant at Bannockburn. which
ranks hospitality high up in the
scale OF things that make invitation
golf pleasant.
These invitation tournaments
are held mostly for the purpose
of having an enjoyable time"
was the comment Of Middleton
| Beaman. chairman Of the golf
| committee, when he permitted
| several players scheduled on the
first day Of the qualifying round
to postpone their appearance.
The first day saw the worst
| golf weather Of the season.
Tomorrow may he even worse
| day than this" was his though
| in refusing to be technical whcI
| the question occurred: "Is it fail
10 those who went through a.
scheduled despite rain and wind?'
The BannOckburn tournament is
| the final invitation event Of the
| season and the Bannock burn folk
have spared nothing 10 make 1t a
| grand old golf picnic.
