- s PAR
BY $GA, Dick HZLLIez

The mems club at Sarah Shank
will hold 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
blind par drawn out was SO, held by
Zed Day. Third prize went to
Claude Parks with 70, who had low
gross for the day, an 80.
TINE pros who decide things for
Il the Indiana P. G. A. recently
set July IL, 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. l, 2 and 3, or 7, 8 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 amateur next Monday
will be held at Highland. Pros will
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 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
a two-stroke handicap. The final results
was even match, but it cannot be over
looked that Max had an individual 60,
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 each six
holes, bat gathered only one birdie. He
had one six, but still got IS.
Max 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 trimming act in
stead of dropping for brides.

1t ended all square
Il
The trio went two up the first five
holes. but when none could do better than
a six on the No. 6 hole, and Russ Stone
house cracked one into the wind 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 ard 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
discovered they still could not settle the
match with words and agreed to try it
again on the links of Pleasant Run next
Thursday.
