7fie OUTLOOK) VOL. XXIV. NO. 9 FEBRUARY 10, 1921 10 CENTS J. D. CHAPMAN WINS ST. VALENTINE'S Lou Hamilton, fledalist John D. Chapman of the Greenwich Country Club, led the field of 152 golfers in' the Seventeenth Annual St. Valen tine's tournament played last week, and won the first division trophy at the end of a remarkable final round with Donald Parson of Youngstown, whom Chapman defeated by 1 up. Parson came through to the finals on Saturday morning by defeating C. B. Fownes of Oakmont, 5 and 4, in the semi-finals, while Chapman took the measure of Larry Paton of Homestead, in the same round. Probably no golfer deserves to win honors in playing the game more than Chapman, for he is willing to do what hundreds of players are not, and that is to practice. The great majority of players, from the duffer to the expert, are forever seeking a match. They do not get much fun out of taking a bag of balls to a quiet spot on the course and practice the various shots until they have some exact knowledge as to how to prop erly hit the ball. Mr. Chapman is will ing to put in time for this purpose, and he was well rewarded during the week past when he won his first important tournament. He had to defeat a fine field in the first division in order to win. Lou Hamilton and E. L. Scofield tied for the low gross in the qualifying round with cards of 81, and when they played off the tie Hamilton won by the narrow margin of one shot, with a card of 37 4178 against 42-3779 for Scofield. It required a score of 88 or better to make the first sixteen. When the semi-final round was reached four fine golfers remained in competition for the main prize. They were Donald Parson and C. B. Fownes, winner of the event last year, in the upper bracket, and Larry Paton and Chapman who were in the lower half of the draw. Paton was the dark horse of the tour nament, and, because of his known repu tation as a first-rate amateur player in Massachusetts, his long tee shots and general good form, he was favored by many to win the tournament. He and Chapman engaged in a hard-fought match in the semi-finals which was not decided until the home green was reached where Chapman won by 1 up. Fownes could not get going in his match with Parson and lost by a 5 and 4 score. A large gallery followed Paton and Chapman in their semi-final round and its members were well repaid for their walk.

Chap man's 41-3879 and C. L. Becker's 37-4380. Donald Parson's plus handi cap excluded him from the qualifiers. The Three-Ball Match is one of the most interesting events on the Whistle's schedule.
