Content Itaiiko as Moit Important in History of not only JLocal but Southern Coif. 2i HE semi-final and final- rounds of the third an nual midwinter tourna ment which are, in prog ress today, as The Out- look goes to press, bring: to a close not only the most successful contests in local golf history, but in the history of southern golf as well. Never has a larger or more important field of players been represented and close matches, perfect weather and numerous delightful entertainment features have combined to make the week one long to be remembered, both by golfers arid visitors. In the semi-final round for the cham pionship trophy which is in progress this morning, W. C. Carnegie, of the St. An drews Golf Club, is playing G. W. Keates of the Brae Burn Club, and Allan Lard, of the Columbia Golf Club, C. L. Becker, of the Woodland Golf Club; the winners of these two matches coming together for the final rounds this afternoon. Interest, however, is by no means centered upon these contests forthe semi finalists and finalists in each of the other divisions are evenly matchejl and many hole for hole battles will be the rule. The Country Club House and the course are thronged with players and the progress of the rounds is being fol lowed with keen interest. It is doubtful if any tournament here has ever had a more brilliant or more fitting ending. QUALIFICATION SCOliES.
