THIS new draft law wnlch III affect
every one from eighteen to forty-llvo
will pot Interfere with tho big golf
tournaments, for only those men who
have reached the age of fifty-five or
over are eligible to play. Tho Ancient
and Honorable tournament was origi
nally scheduled to be played on Sep
tember 12, but the Seniors' tournament,
which Is a national affair, Is slated for
tho 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th of Sep

affair the Kxecutlvc Committee has
changed the local date to September 26.
It will be the seventh annual tourna
ment and will be played at the Aronl
mlnk Country Club. Any man who will
admit to having reached tho rlpo age
of fifty-five and who Is a membpr of a
club belonging to the local golf associa
tion Is eligible to play. Such a tourna
ment would not be possible with the
Women's Clolf Association of Phila
delphia for reasons that must be ob
vious, but tho seniors take pride in ad
mitting that they aro at least fifty-five,
and the number of men who are eligible
Is Increasing at a pleasant rate.
Provokes Keen Rivalry
It Is a medal play event on the asso
ciation handicaps and there Is always
the keenest rivalry. Hardly a year goes
by that does not see ties for the two
prizes. At one time tho tournament was
held earlier In the summer, but the
veterans objected to playing strenuous
golf on hot days, so the date wbb shifted
to September.
The Seniors' tournament at Apawamis
In September Is a four-day affair, but
the golfers aro placed In two divisions,
half playing on Tuesday and Wednes
day and the remainder on Thursday
and Friday. There will be all sorts of
prizes, one for the best gross thlrty-slx-holo
score and for the best net total
In four classes at thirty-six holes.
Awards will be made for the best gross
and net scores on each day, there being
no age limit. .There will be a selected
score event based on the lowest score
made on each hole In the two, rounds.
An Innovation that seems likely to
be Included will consist of a driving
competition, so arranged as to have It
continue automatically throughout the
