Alibi.' * * * * Jim O’Donnell lost two bucks on Clyde King Tuesday. * * * No, we have no alibi, but!—say, Doc, wait until we meet again. * * * The moonlight golf tournament on the back steps will conclude a Iweek later than the other ope. * * * Owing to the fact that the losers are inconsolable there will be no con solationns in the present tournament. * * * Tom Hutchison of Long Pine, isn’t the only one to take only twelve puts on nine greens. Straw can do it every time. * * * There is nothing in a name after all, as new players on the course find out to their disappointment when they arrive at No. 4. * * * C. C. Golden fwon the medalist prize with a score of 86 in the qualifying round, a strong wind being the alibi of the other entrants. * * * The professional men are breaking about even in the tournament. Doc. Carter won his match Tuesday and P. C. Donohoe laid Doc. Kubitschek to rest. * * * 'The merchant entrants all agree that their matches should be played the slackest portion of the business day but haven’t agreed as to which that is. * * * It is absolutely impossible for the fish liar to get an audience this week, consequently the fish column is omit ted. But anyhow Frank Barrett caught seven bass last Sunday. * * * Dr. Carter pulled a new one in his match Tuesday afternoon. He was BO feet from the green in some very rough ground, but he managed to sink the ball and made the hfile in par. * * » Jim O’Donnell did not get into the championship flight but he says that he is going to make it mighty in teresting for the man who takes the presidential trophy away from him. * * * One should sweep, not strike, the ball from the tee, says John Melvin’s new book. The book is by an English writer, which is why O’Donnell, Dono hoe and Gallagher all are anxious to borrow it. * * * A club business meeting is, called for the • club grounds Tuesday night. Camp fire, a light lunch and free smokes. Everybody urged to be pres ent as important matters are to be considered. * * * Arthur King, Erwin Cronin and Hugh O’Donnell are three youngsters that give promise of developing into classy golf players within a felw years. Any of them can now give several of the old “boys” the scrap of their lives. * * * In his match Tuesday in the Secre tary’s flight Dr. Carter made three holes in par, which is going some. If we had not been with Doc when he qualified we would be inclined to think that the boys had put one over on us. * * * Mike Horiskey, (who was put out of the championship flight by Dr. Kubit schek, was of the opininon that Doc would clean up the tournament. But he had another guess coming for Pat Donohoe put Kubitschek out of the running. * * * Entries now are being received (for the annual Hay Growers tournament which starts next week on the con clusion of the present one. There will be prizes for everyone in the coming one, consolations and everything. Thirteen prizes in all. » * * The holes on the course have been christened as follows: No. 1, Corkie; No. 2, Shamrock Lane; No. 3, Sunset; No. 4, The Nip; No. 5, Jack Rabbit; No. 6, Old Mystery; No. 7, Over The Top; No. 8, Long Jap; No. 9, Tipper ary, although Horiskey has another name for Number 7. * '* * Arthur King was on the links Tues day when his father completed his match with Donald Gallagher. As his esteemed parent approached Ar thur, the latter asked him how he came out. When informed that he was defeated Arthur says disgustedly: “Didn’t you want to beat him?” * * * One of the prettiest contests of the tournament was that between Pat O’Donnell and Clear Golden, played in the championship flight Wednesday morning. “Paddy” started out in championnship style and had three up on the eighth hole. Then things went wrong ahd Clear evened up on the thirteenth hole and secured one up on the fourteenth hole. It was nip and tuck until the seventeenth where Pad dy managed to even the score and he took the eighteenth hole and the match. A bunch of “bugs” fol lowed the players around, deeply in terested In this contest between two of the classiest players of the local club. * * * Dr. Kubitscnek was one ox tne sur prises of the tournament. He has been playing but a few months but was able to qualify in the champion ship flight, and won his first contest with ease, putting a good old-time player like Mike Horiskey down for the count at the twelfth hole. Then he had a splendid game with Pat Donohoe, but Pat managed to win after one of the most exciting games otf the tournament. Doc is hdpded for the champinship of the club and while he cannot win it this year if he con tinues to improve during the next few months like he has the past three he will be hard to head off at the next tournament.
