STRONG COMPETITION

The first annual MAIN Street"
golf tournament played at the
splendid Sank Centre Country
club course Sunday and Monday,
June and 8 was a real sporting
event.
Thanks to Virgil Roby, Minneap-
oils golf club star, the best amateur
golfers of Minneapolis graced the
tournament with their presence.
This group might well be said to
have been headed by Pat Sawyer,
1s-year-old state amateur cham
pion who won his spurs last year.
Pat graduated from High School
this June and is playing in the
State High School golfing tourna-
ment, Minneapolis, today, Thurs
day, upholding the honor of West
Side High. He will do a noble job
for his Alma Mater.
BILLY" Boutell and Jarvis Tew,
youngsters who graduated in jan
uary and players at the Minneapo-
lis Golf Club, were also among the
Twin Cities best present.
Fritz Carman, Detroit Lakes, and
Carleton star, was on hand, as was
Dave Tallman, perennial, from
Willmar and Minneapolis, who
plays golf IL months each year. Mr..
Tallman admits being go years Of
age but he is able to give the
younger generation a real workout
before he will allow youth to be
served"
Sank Centre has a young man,
Norbert "Spick" Frank, with little
professional training and q trifle
better golf temperament, who
would go long way in the amateur
meets. He qualified in the cham
pionship fight with 81.
The Minneapolis contingent ar
rived Saturday and played IA holes
for practice. They were amazed
at the velvety perfectness of the
greens. As they gave the course
casual glance, noting its some
what fiat lying contour, they opin-
ed that it would be snap to spill
par and brides all over the course.
The remarkable fact, is, how
ever, that none of the golfers play
ed par golf for more than nine con-
secutive holes.
One of the brilliant young men
from Minneapolis was Jarvis Tew.
He was going great guns Saturday
afternoon in practice but when he
qualified Sunday morning hewent
completely haywire and landed in
the second fight. Boy, how he
moved down his opposition there.
In the semi-flnals of this flight
Jarvis defeated Ed Peterson, of
this city, 1913. Peterson had elimi-
mated H. A. Falk in a hard battle
Sunday afternoon one up. Bernard
Robischon, also of this city, went
out ITO do or die" against Jarvis
in the finals. He retired at the end
of the 18th hole when Mr.. Tew had
him down 6-5.
Virgil Roby was medalist Of the
tournament with II, shooting three
over par for Is holes.
When the championship fight of
eight men teed off Sunday after
noon Norbert Frank was paired
with the medalist. "Spick" put up
gallant fight. Experience finally
conquered, Norbert losing by 81.
