Golf Editor, Democrat-Chronicle,
Rochester, N. Y1
With three weeks of cam
paigning in the Florida grape
fruit belt behind him, small
Frankie Strafaci of the bushy
locks and low-flying shots ap
pears as good a bet as any to
win the annual North and South
amateur championship, which
opens Monday over Pinehurst’s
No. 2 course. ! .
If Mrs. Strafaci’s little kid j
can turn this trick it will be
his third consecutive victory
lere—a record. j
Small Frank was out batting
the agate around yesterday . . .
and having trouble. But Stra
faci is a boy who doesn’t burn
himself out in practice rounds.
“I played seven rounds of 69
or better on Florida courses this
winter,” he said. "As I am rap
idly becoming an old man a
quarter of a century old, this
kind of golf warms my creak
ing bones. In other words, I
would say I am playing well,
and expect to do all right in' this
tournament.”
Francis from Flatbush has in
creased his weight slightly^ to
145 pounds and is hitting the
apple further. He won. the re
cent Dixie Amateur.

It really, is a shame what four
members of the Tin Whistle
Club and their handicaps can
do to poor Old Man par on the
number three course when they
mean business.
On Wednesday, , while the la
dies were doing their best on
number one course, a foursome
of Tin,. Whistlers were giving
number three a terrific beating
to finish 14 up on par, which
gave them a net margin of 13
up and first place in the best
ball of all four vs par.
These golfers were George C.
Albee, J. H. Hallock, George E.
Mallinson and W. G. Mennen. It
was the first time Hallock, Mal
linson and Mennen have won a
Tin Whistle -prize.
The official score card gives
an idea of what these gentle
men did to par.

Some day one of these three misses is going to win the North and
South. Perhaps each one will have her turn. These young ladies
have all been eliminated by more experienced competitors, but
they say they will be back, and as their parents agree, Pinehurst
hopes to entertain them often. .

It was a 33-35—68. There
was a conceded putt at one hole
which Mrs. Page missed after
her opponent, Mrs. Thomas E.
Nolan had given up .the hole;.
Golfers, no matter how well they
