ming.
Johnny Williams, who has been
shooting some "hot" practice
rounds, couldn't get going either
of his rounds. The defending
champions game was everything
but good. His morning round was
"a and afternoon 85.
The prize for shooting the high
est score of the day went to Richie
Adams, Minneapolis. We don't
dare tell Mr.. Adams score. Ray
Wright's foursome pulled the big
gest gallery of the day. =.
Ted Allen and Jimmy Slemmons
should be compimented for their
promotion of such an affair. Each
year the tourney seems to grow.
There were 40 men entrants and
six women entrants. The first 16
men whose scores were lowest went
in the first fight.
Johnny Banks, famous candid
cameraman" of st. Paul, worked
hard all day shooting" actions of

mented for their splendid work.
