REYNOLDS AND TATLOR
STARS IN MIDSUMMER
HANDICAP ATMERION
Aronimink Player Only One to Break 80, While North
Hills Youngster Captures Class Tourney
as Well
By WILLIAM H. EVANS
THE honors In both the midsummer
handicap and the class" tournament
yesterday went to B. Irving Taylor, a
tall, slim, sandy-halrcd youngster from
North Hills, who not only won the mid
summer handicap with a net score of
70 and tho class tournament In Class A
with a gross score- of 82, but who In
addition registered the third lowest gross
score of the day. Walter Reynolds and
"Max Marston alone turning In a lower
gross total. Ho was a post entry and
he appeared on the sceno about 4:30
o'clock. At that time Francis B. War
ner, secretary of the Golf Association
of Philadelphia, was up to his eyes In
work. So after stating that he wanted
to play In both events, he watted on
his tiptoes until the hard-working sec
retary could see daylight. The sun was
still h'gh In tho heavens, hut the youth
from North Hills, who said ho had time
to burn, was getting anxious. Some
suggested that he ask again, nnd ten
minutes later, with a partner from his
club, he was out on the first tee and
away.
Taylor Is Junior
Taylor played In the last Junior cham
plonshlp and ho has a tremendous wal
lop. He defeated Herbert Calves In the
opening rcund, but went down to de
feat In the second battle. He played
some very excellent golf yesterday and,
with a card that had no birds or threes
and only two sixes, and both of these
on par Ave holes, he was as steady as a
rock. He had ten fours and six fives.
While Taylor was still out and with
most of the cards returned. It looked as
If the honors would go to R. I,. Mlshler,
of the Country Club of Lansdowne. He
had the best outgoing round of the day,
a 41, and while It took him three more
strokes coming home, hb gross of 85
looked good for Class A and his net of
74 seemed an apparently sure winner
of tho handicap. As It was, he won
second prize In Class A. The great
majority of tho players took more
strokes for the harder outjourney than
the homestretch and he was erne of the
very few players who reversed this
order.
Taylor had the best score for the last
nine holes and he was tho only player
td break forty on cither Journey. I am
referring only to tho players who con.
tested in the class tournament.
SNAPPED AT GOLF TOURNEY ON MERION COURSE
Reynolds Low Scoring Star
The gross honors of the day went
to Walter Reynolds, tho Aronimink star,
who has been playing Fomo very fine golf
this year. Reynolds was out In' 39, and
when the gallery above the thirteenth
green heard this It was ready to wager
that his score would be the lowest of
the day, as Max Marston had already
nm.,i in a total of 81. Reynolds not
only had the best total of the day. but
his figures for the out-and-ln Journey
were the lowest scored.
C. O. Hubb, who has been playing
the game but a year or so, and who
had never seen the Merlon course until
yesterday, won the honors In Class B
fcr players with handicaps ranging from
15 'to 18. He returned a gross Bcore
of 92, and he was well up In the
midsummer handicap. L. W. Park, of
Whltemarsh, and L. E. Adams, of Lu Lu,
tied for second honors In this class with
totals of 94.
In Class C, restricted to players with
handicaps of 19 and upwards, the honors
went to Dr. Q. H. SImmerman, with a
total of 96, while C. C. Patton, of Mer
lon, scored tho second prlio.
Big Entry List
In tho class tournament there were
eighty-three entrants and In tho mid
summer handicap tho total was eighty
five. The golf association permitted the
players to play In three and four ball
matches but the change In medal play
scoring is a poor one. It Is distinctly
contrary to the rules of golf. Under
Special Rules for Stroke Competitions,
Rule 1. Section 2, reads as follows:
Competitors shall play In couples; If
from any cause there Is a single com
petitor, tho committee shall cither pro
vide him with a player who shall mark
for him or select a marker for him and
allow him to piny alone. (Stroke Rule 1
(2) does not permit more than two com
petitors to play together. (R. & A).
Not According to Rules
In the decisions of Rules of Golf
Committee of the Royal and Ancient
Club of St Andrews there Is a decision
prohibiting this. Here It Is:
"286 Royal Jersey Club In a stroke
competition there was a single competi
tor. As no marker was available, one or
the committee in charge of the competi
tion allowed three competitors to play
together with each of the three competi
. , fins of these three re
turned tho lowest score, but Is objected
to by another competitor for breach of
Stroke Rule 1 tzj. ire iu mi so ,-...-petttors
disqualified?
"Answer Stroke Rule 1 (2) 'does not
permit three competitors to play to
gether. Tho rule clearly describes the
manner In which the committee must
provide for a single competitor. Even
If It is assumed that the member of
the committee referred to represented
the committee, th competition was not
conducted In accordance with the special
rules for stroke competition. As the
competitors had official sanction to play
together. It appears hardly fair to en
force the penalty of disqualification."
Here Is another decision:
"285 Handsworth Ladles' Oolf Club
If three competitors play together In
a stroke competition (being unable to
find a marker) should they bo dlsquall-,
fled 7
"Answer Certainly. The rules of
golf committee woudd point out that It
Is tho duty of the committee In charge
of tho contpetltlon to provide for a
single competitor (see Stroke Rule 1
(2)."
Why the Difference?
Does any one Imagine for a moment
that If the event yesterday were the
amateur championship, with or without
title, or the open championship, with
or without title, the executive committee
of the Oolf Association of Philadelphia
would give Its consent to the contestants
playing In three, or four-ball matches as
they did yesterday? Not for a minute.
Tho class tournament nnd the mid
summer handicap nro Intended largely
for tho players who have handicaps.
Both are on a .handicap basis, the mid
summer being determined by tho low-
net score, there also being a prize for
me low gross, while tne players who
play In the three classes In the class
tournament are classified according to
handicap, although the event Itself is a
scratch proposition. In the eyes of the
men who nlav In either or hnth nf ii,.
events, they are as Important as the
amateur or the open affair. The fact
that the class tournament Is restricted
to players with handicaps of eleven
strokes or over does not make It of less
Importance than the amateau, where ono
must have a handicap of ten or under
to play.
Onlj Caused Congestion
What congestion there was on the
course yesterday was due to the four
and three ball matches. One four-ball
match, made up of low handicap men,
said afterward that It took them two
hours and 'a half to play nine holes, be
cause they were held up by a four-ball
match. One of the results of this was
that the players turned In higher scores
for tho midsummer event than would
have occurred If the tournaments had
been conducted as they should hae
been.
