Il course will hold another meet
ing tonight in the clubhouse at 8
o'clock. The election of officers,
postponed from last week, will be
held. Mrs. Clayton Schultz. wife of
the Sarah Shank course pro and
active in the organization of the
women, said only a few ex-officers
showed up last week.
Instead Of staging an election,
those present decided to formulate
plans for a membership drive and
more than twenty new members
were signed up at the course last
Saturday and Sunday. Tonight'S
meeting will give the new men,
berS chance to have a voice in
the election.
The mems club at Sarah Shank
will hold a meeting next Friday at
which time a tournament schedule
will be drawn. In the rush of things
we failed to pass on the results of
the mems blind par tournament
held last week end.
Joe Reeve hit 70, the number
drawn, right on the beezer. Second
bind par drawn out was So, held by
zed Day. Third prize went to
Claude Parks with r., who had low
gross for the day, an 81.
TINE pros who decide things for
Il the Indiana P. G.. A. recently
set July II, II and Is as the dates
for the 1884 state open champion
ship and awarded the meet to Helf-
rich course in Evansville. In spite
OF the fact that some who attended
the meeting advised the pros the
dates conflicted with the women's
state championship to be held at
South Bend this year they failed to
change their arrangements. Max
Buell., P. G.. A. tournament manager,
has taken steps to find out just
what can be done about it.
Max wrote the Helfrich club to
learn if the course will be available
on Aug. /, 2 and 8, or 7, and 9.
He has written the pros over the
state to learn which of those two
sets of dates they prefer. One thing
is certain, and that is the pros do
not care to conflict with any other
state tournament if it can be
avoided.
The pro-amateur next Monday
will be held at Highland. Pros will
draw the names of their amateur
partners from a hat. The handicapS
used by the amateurs the latter part
of last year will apply in this meet.
The handicaps will apply on the
holes where they fall on the score
card.
Playing golf Thursday was one thing,
and making a good score in the gale was
another. Max Buell., Ray Robertson, Neal
Mcintyre and Joe Stout did both out at
Highland.
Max and Ray teamed against Neal and
Joe, with Joe having the advantage of
two-stroke handicap. The final results
was an even match, but it cannot be. over
looked that Max had an individual 90,
Ray and Neal 75s and ole SO.
Max had seventeen parS and one birdie
against the wind and broke 20. Robertson
slipped one stroke over par on each six
holes, but gathered only one birdie. He
had one six, but still got a IS.
Max saw visions of 81 go fading when
he failed to get two breaks on the last
two holes where puts of twelve and
seventeen feet did the rinming act in
stead of dropping for brides.
For some time there has been con-
siderable argument between Arthur Lock
Rathert, park board member L. Ert Slack,
former mayor; Russell Stonehouse, River
side pro, and Johnny Vaughan, Pleasant
The group finally got together Thurs
day at Pleasant Run to settle the rib
bing" match on the links. After eighteen
Rathert and Russell StonehouSe teamed to
battle the other three in a best ball match.
1t ended all square.

The trio went two up on the first five
holes, but when none could do better than
a six on the No. hole, and Russ Stone
house cracked one into the wind on No.
! that came down close enough to the pin
to permit his making of a deuce, the
match was all square. Par won No. 10 for
Rathert and Russ. but the trio went one up
again, winning No. IL and IA only to find
themselves behind again after the next
two holes were completed. Lockwood got
a trey on the seventeenth and the match
was even again. to stay that way as. both
teams scored SIS on the eighteenth hole.
While gathered around the festive board
at LockWood's home located near the
course after the match, the contestants
