Worlds Best Golfers At st. Paul
One of the nations finest sport
attractions will be on display at

tions, and it is often held that a
professional golfer would rather
win this title than that of the open
championship. The tournament
was played last year at Providence,
r. l., and Tom Creavy, of Roches-
ter, New York, won out after
week of close competition.
The Northwest has seen the lead
ing golfers in the country in ac-
ton on three occasions during the
last two years. The National Open
was held at Inerlachen in 1882, and
the st. Paul Ten Thousand Dollar
Open Tournament was staged both
in 1880 and 1881. On this occasion,
however, a different brand of golf
will be on display for the fans Of
this part of the country. We have
not seen match play in any of
these turnaments. Heretofore, the
tournaments have consisted of u
holes of medal play, covering only
three days in the st. Paul Tourna-
ments, wherein each golfer played
his strokes against the field. The
p. G. A. Tournament provides a
more grueling test Of supremacy. It
lasts for six days, and each contes-
tant plays So holes Of golf on each
day. There will be only ONT" day of
medal play which win qualify 80
golfers OUT of the 104 which. will
start. For the rest Of the toarna-
ment there will be SO holes of
match play each day, which :: will
bring the semi-final on Saturday,
Sept. 8, and the finals on Sunday,
Sept. 4. -,
Entries to this tournament will
be determined by sectional qualify
ing rounds. which are now being
held throughout the country, and
which will insure the attendance of
these professional golfers who are
at the peak of their game during
this month Of August. Both of the
winners of the two st. Paul Ten
Thousand Dollar Open Tourna-
ments have already qualified. Har-
ry Cooper and Horton Smith will
both represent the Chicago district,
and of course, the principle attrac-
ton of the tournament will be
Gene Sarzen's attempt to make a
grand slam in professional golf.
This tournament will undoubtedly
provide the fastest field which has
ever participated in a major golf
tournament in the Northwest.
In keeping with the times, ticket
prices have been adjusted down.
ward. Never before in the history
of major golf tournaments has it
