Wi 7! ft f I . EVENING- LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE -27, 1017 . ' - 18 I YOUNG GOLFERS WILL HAVE MAGNIFICENT OPPORTUNITY TO WIN TOURNAMENT HONO&& YOUNG GOLFERS HAVE EXCELLENT CHANCE TO CAPTURE HONORS IN AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNEY Lack of Title Tends to Decrease Interest Among Old Guard Aspirants Program Yet Uncer tain as to Awards and Prizes THERE Is every indication thai the tlettl In the amateur Rolf championship' of Philadelphia, the qualifying round of which begins today at Whltemarsh. will be one of the smallest on record it also will he notable by reaBon of the absence of what has come to be considered the Old Guard. The chief reason for this la that It li generally understood there will be no title awarded, and that Cameron B Uuxton will hold the tltlo for another year Amateur are very much like the pro. fesslonals Olve them a tournament with nothing at stake and the take little or no Interest In It. The executive committee of the Golf Association of Philadelphia will decide some time before the tournament ofll dally opens Just what the program will be. Borne of the committee believe nil the prliea jhould be awarded while others feel that nothing should be given other than medals or certificates. There are those on the committee who believe that the only sensible solution Is one of tvvp things, either go the whole way, award the title and all tho cups and medals that go with an amateur championship of the city, or else call off the event entirely. They realize' that It U a difficult task to re quire local Golfers to devote almost an en tire week to.colf and hae nothlnR to show for their efforts. Several years ago. after the qualifying round, the match play rounds were so arranged that only one was played each day In this way golf did not Inter fere too much with business , but of recent years the effort has been to have the whoU affair decided In as short a time ns possi ble But while the number of men who have In other years won the championship or who have been finalist will be absent, neaiMy all of the younger crowd will be at White marsh today. So there Is every indication that tho next champion, or whatever you may call him, will be one of the younger group of golfers who havo come Into the limelight so prominently In the last year or so So that while the field may be small, there Is a certainty that the golf will lie of a ery fine order and worthy of the trip to Whltewarsh. Mrs. Vandcrbcck's Exceptional Caie It Is not every one who can win a local championship, and the case of Mrs Clarence H. Vanderbeck, the second Philadelphia woman to win a national title Is Interesting Mrs. Vanderbeck won the title In 1015 by probably the best display of golf eer shown by a woman player In this country. Imme diately after the amateur championship at Merlon last September Chick Evans played a round with Jlrc Vanderbeck at the Phlla deiphia Country Club, and later he said that the golfing form of the Philadelphia woman was the best he had ever seen shown by an American woman Mrs. Vanderbeck also has won the eastern woman's golf Championship, and this Is as difficult a test of modal play as can be Imagined Vet try as haid as she can, she lias never been able to ln a local championship. For years George A Crump has ranked as one of the finest players In the Phlladel phla district, and for years he has been one of the Ipwest rated men In the local handicap list; jet he has never won a championship So it Is not to every one that the local championship Is possible The peculiarities of golf were never bet ter shown than In the qualifying round for the Lynnewood Hall cup, at Huntingdon Valley The finalists last jear were Bux ton and Max Marston, so they were paired together. One turned In a score of 80 and the other an 81 for ono of their rounds. Yet their best score wag a remnrkably fine 65, while their worst was a very bad 95. If one went poorly on one hole the other was shooting a par or a bird, and in this way they turned In the lowest best ball of the tournament. Tourneys on Medal-Play Basis Every club In the Philadelphia district has accepted the suggestion of the United States Golf Association and will hold a Liberty Day tournament on the Fourth of July In no case will a smaller entry fee than $1 be accepted, and the players may give as much more as they please The entire entry sum will be given to the American Red Cross through the various clubs The Red Cross has donated a medal and this will be awarded to the winner of the tournament and, In addition, there will be a certificate, suitably engraved, which will also go to the winner of the tournament In nearly every case the tournaments B ingles and Bungles The Gran' Ole Game Rollle Zeidrr's bunion, Johnny Evers's Jau , Charlie Murphy's shoestring, Tener and ifcGraw.

When Martin put up his hand to prevent the glass from hitting his face his first finger was cut to the bone by broken glass and the second finger badly gashed.

"I have bepn on the Job for the last nnnth." explained Curley last nleht "I visited Leonards home, Interviewed the entire family and after thnt stuck so close to Hlll Olhson that the. thought In New York that 1 was his shadow At first neither would cen consider the match, as otters were coming In from other rltles for Inng contests Finally, when I figured that Leonard would never meel Kllhane in a derision fight and ten rounds seemed to be too long, I put on extra pressure and got the signature. It was the hardest work I over did." Jimmy Pougherty signed Kllhane when he visited Cleveland a couple of weeks ago, so It looks ns if everything has been set tled. Tho final meetinc will be held in New York tomorrow, however, and all mat ters straightened out U la believed that the big bout wllf be held either on the nlcht of July 13 or tho ,10th.

Be cause the value or taste of a cigarette doesn't depend on the Import Duty on the tobacco. That's why Piedmonts, with all their taste-goodness, can afford to give you better quality than cigarettes which have to take care of the cost of Import Duty on the tobacco. Besides, VIRGINIA TOBACCO is the only tobacco that has character that up-and-doing "sparkle" that makes a cigarette a cigarette.
