. Number 15
RS. RONALD H. BARLOW, of the
Merion Cricket Club, Philadelphia,
is the new champion of the Silver
Foils, and Donald Parson enjoys the
same distinction in the well-known Tin
Whistles organization. Both of these
events were decided last week, and in the
settling some unusually fine golf was
necessary, on the part of the new title
holders. Mrs. Barlow had rounds of 87
and 88 on the Number 1 and 3 courses for
a total of 175, which proved a comfort
able margin of victory. In the Tin
Whistles event, the contest was over the
72 hole route, and not until the next to
the final hole of the last round-was it
really decided. At this point Richard S.
Tufts and the new champion were neck
and neck. Tufts had yards the advantage
from the tee at this hole, but he over ap
proached. So much so that a bundle of
trouble crossed his path. Before the ball
finally wended its way into the cup, what
looked like a simple four or five at the
worst following his great tee shot de
veloped into an eight. That was the end.
Parson picked up three shots here, a
couple more on the last hole, and had
five strokes to the good at the curtain’s
faI1.total was exceptionally fine for
a route so long, and one with so many
variations in it. It was just a
s a. e over an average of 76. What helped him greatly in
his fine achievement was his skill during the third round,
played on Number 1 course. His 70 there was the best com
petitive mark over that layout this season, and brought him
prominently to the fore, for Tufts was leading all hands, num
ering over 70 contestants, to that point. That round defi
nitely settled that only three of the players had a chance for
the title, John D. Chapman, of Greenwich, Connecticut, being
the other. But a pair of 80’s by Chapman at the start left him
with plenty to do and it was evident that an unusually low
round would be necessary for him to be in on the spoils. In
the meantime Parson had knitted together a 78 and 81, and
Tufts a 78 and 76. Then came the phenomenal round of the
Youngstown golfer which made it a neck and neck race with
Tufts until the disastrous and deciding seventeenth was

Silver Foils and a formidable con

reached. The runner-up was very con
sistent with tallies of 77-78-76-80. Par
son assembled a 70-78-81-77, and Chap
man, a 76-80-80-77, the • scores being
made starting with the Number 1 in
order.
There was a merry scramble for net
honors as well. George L. Wilson, of
New York, led For the net prize with
rounds of 103-106-114 and 105. With a ;V
36 handicap his total was 284, nine shots
better than that of George T. Dunlap,
also of New York, winner of the second
net prize. His figures were exceptionally
fine for a twelve handicap man, being 81
87-85 and 88. There was also a prize
for the best net performance on each of
the four courses. Noyes D. Clark, of
Woodbridge, Connecticut, acquired a fine
piece of silverware with his card of 89-23
66 on Number 1. The Judds, E. W. and
A. C., of Waterbury, Connecticut, fell into
line for the next honors. E. W. Judd, on
Number 2, negotiated a 92-23-69. nnd A.
C. Judd, on Number 3, had a 101-30-71.
The final prize fell to J. D. Hathaway, of
Montreal, who shot a 115-42-73 on Num
ber 4. _
Going back to the fair sex again, the
cards of Mrs. Barlow surely showed con
sistency. Her figures, looking at the
nine hole performances, were 41-47-43
and 44, all of which indicates that as a contestant in the Wo
men’s North and South she will be a formidable opponent for
anybody. , ,
Mrs. Phillip Stevenson, of Piping Rock, also played unusually
well in this event and was only a few shots behind the ofttimes
champion of various tournaments. Her rounds were 94 and
87 for a total of 181, and with a ten handicap she came in for
the second net prize in Class A:
By shattering 100 in the second round for the first time in
her career, Mrs. A. S. Higgins, of Yonkers, had the honor of
winning the first net prize. Starting with 108 on Number 3,
she cut off eleven strokes on Number 1, and with a ten handi- v ;
cap had a nifty total of 165.
In Class B, Mrs. Henry Van Cleef, of New Haven, led for
net honors with cards of 114 and 105, and carried a twenty
