 AT SEQUIN CLUB
Old Mn Pr H,s Things His
 Own My With Class X Players

Befors the shuttle Meadow golf course WAS anything except good partridge hunting ground. Now Brit ain golfers dubbed their shots and made birdies on . nine hole course in Newington that the score card designated as the Maple Hill Golf club. Now that course has grown into . 6123 yard, ls-hole playground for Hartford and New Britain golf ers. In tts metamorphosis is ac- quired . new and romantic nams. Sequin smacks of red men and war whoops.
 According to the attractive book let sent out from the club. what is now fairway. bunkers and greens. where modern warriors battle with their golf clubs was once the camp ing ground and hunting territory of an Indian chief called Sequin.
 Over land of rolling hills on which Indians shot their arrows at furry game an array of opponents of the open life gleefully tramped last Sat- urday. They were playing golf in the tournament which marked the opening of tho season at Sequin. True the greens had been playable for a month. but winter rules had prevailed. Now the game will be played in full form until the fall frosts freeze the ground.
 Louis Chiapetta, professional. had the course in prime condition. The moisture had dried out of the fair ways and tho greens were clipped for keen putting. From the club house the expanse of greensward brought joy to many . heart that had longed for this day.
 It was a medal play event with full handicap allowed. That meant few wasted strokes if player hoped to come home in the running against par Every drive. iron shot and putt must be played just right. What golfer in the lot had not determined that this year he would drive with out. slicing. play his irons without pressing and run up to the hole every putt?
 Par is 72 and it is a difficult pair of 36 hines that the player has to cover. The uphill and side-hill holes try the skill of veteran gofers to say nothing of the other members of the fraternity. F. D. Ross, club champion. holds the amateur record with 70 and Louis Chiapetta has done up par with 67 strokes.
 But Saturday the Old Man Of the Links had things his own way with class A players even though he yielded strokes to the enemy. A net of 76 was the best they could turn in.
 In class B. 6s and Il were scored and a net 72 tied par among the class C players.
 The results were as follows:
 Class All. E. Meyers. SS-1e--7e. A. C. Fuller, 92-l2--S0:
