Jesse j. MOSSLER, the A. l..
~ Trester of the Indiana Golf As
ISOLATION. would have all golfers
over the age of 81 realize that their
state amateur championship tour
nament for 1888 is less than two
weeks away. The Hoosier simon
pures will assemble at Chain O.
Lakes course, South Bend, for the
annual classic on Aug. IA.
As for Mr.. MoSsler. he would change
the slogan from y. r. A. to n. X. A. and
have II the Hoosier Recovery Act. apply
ing II 10 his tournament. because he is
going to be much in need Of entries this
year to offset the decrease brought about
by the ruling out of all but Eve junior
PLAYERS.
The state junior championship Is on
this week al South Bend Erskine park
course. and when the eight bows as
semoled a. the hrst tee THIS morning
there vas more al stake than Just
quarter final victory.
Last year at Hammond. the directors

Bob Hamilton Of Evansville clinched one
position Monday when he did 10 for
medal honors and the matches this morn
ing determined the other four. II was
lucky for Hamilton that ne captured the
medal honorS because he was eliminated
Tuesday IN the second round.
while the limiting Of the junior entry
is likely TO cut down the entry total. still
tha' is not certain. 1t NAV stimulate the
desire Of more older players to Eet back
into the annual classic with the feeling
they have a chance against the fellow who
plays golf for pleasure and does not lit
orally live the course throughout the
summer. a. most JUNIOR players do. II is
hard at any time for age to bow TO youth
/ and these Younger PLAYERS coming in
Indiana can be counted upon to knock the
ewes out of the par just about any TINT
