The rainstorm which came up Thurs
day afternoon at Congressional is going
10 be the cause of lots more CONVEX
sation AT least dozen players took
advantage of the shelters on the course
to get out of the heaviest downpour,
violating one of the rules of medal
play, which says that competition shall
not be stopped because of bad weather
unless the committee in charge so or
ders. Several players entered the club
house, among them at least one first
fight competitor Several of the Others
who stopped play were in the first
flight. and all should have been dis
qualified.
But to have disqualified all those
who stopped would have wrecked tn.
tournament and to have singled out
one or two to be examples and dis
qualify them would have been extreme
~ unfair. Under the circumstances,
there was only one thing to do--forget
the entire affair and let the tourney
proceed. But. whatever the committee
did was wrong In the judgment of
some. Had 1t ruled that all who stopped
were disqualified. the rule would have
been upheld and the tournament ruined,
and since 1t made no ruling there are
stu many who believe those who
stopped should have been disqualified.
The queer part of 1t Is that whatever
ruling was made was certain to be un-
popular.
Byrn Curtis of Indian Spring appears
to be one OF the coming golfers OF the
city Like Tommy Bones, who was the
sensation of the Columbia tournament.
Curtis plays from the port Side, and
drives tremendous ball He finished

Spring In the Fall will be quite an af-
