IIE thirty-six hole final
rounds of the Second
Annual Midwinter Tour
nament which are in pro-
H gi'ess today, will bring to
an end an epoch making
week in the history of Southern Winter
Golf, establishing a record which eclipses
Pinehurst's past and brilliant achieve
ments. From start to finish the play of
t he week has been of absorbing interest
with stroke for stroke battles and excel
lent golf, as its special features. The field

ever present here, but the most repre
sentative, including many players of na
tional importance and covering a wide
range of territory.
No trophy has been won without skill
ful play, even. Travis, the British cham
pion, finding plenty to keep him busy, and
single strokes and extra holes, were the
features of many of the match play
rounds. Detailed stories of the week's
play as far as it has progressed, will be
found elsewhere.

A Result of Interest and Enthusiasm
Aroused by Title Week's Contest
Annual Tournaments In Future.
IS
IGNIFICANT as showing
the interest and enthusi
asm aroused by the Ad
vertising Men's Interna
tional Golf Tournament
is the formation of a
permanent organization to be known as
the The American Golf Association
of Advertising Interests, for the pur
pose of holding annual tournaments in
the future and this yeai's contest will be
known as the "first annual."
The fifty-five who entered for this
year's tournament will constitute the

New York ; W. R. Roberts, Philadelphia ;
L. T. Boyd, Milwaukee ; J. B. Woodward,
New York ; M. II. Marlin, New Haven ;

yond the expectations of even its most
sanguine promoters and a brilliant fu
ture is assured the Organization for the
field it embraces is a wide one, including
thousands who are devotees to the ancient
Scottish game.
The qualifications for membership will
include not only agents or those placing
advertising, but general advertisers as
well ; practically the same conditions as.
