OTTUMWA GETS NEXT
IOWA GOLF TOURNEY.
(Continued from page one).
championship contests went to extra
holes, and many of the others were
ended on the final green.
The work of J. Elbert, the nervy
Country club player, was the feature
of the tournament yesterday. Jack
Elbert defeated his club mate, R. H.
Finkblne, a former Iowa champion, in
the morning, by the score of 2 up,
and won irom Billy Sheehan, the
Hyperion expert, in a nerve-racking
struggle on the twenty-first hole. Jack
Elbert will today meet Roy Smith, who
played splendidly all day yesterday,
and the fight between the two prom
ises to be interesting. "Bood" Gutnand
will have an opportunity to get even
for his defeat in the city tournament
by Bert McKee.
Guinand in Form.
"Bood" Guinand played for the most
part wonderful golf yesterday. His
driving is sensational and his recover
ies from poor shots are great. Guinand
is putting up the best game of his life,
and if he does not win the tournament
it will be a surprise. His shot work
is accurate, and the old time fall
down after a poor shot Is missing this
year. McKee beat Matless in the
morning, after being down at one
time. He won from Gordon in tho
afternoon by putting up better golf,
getting five of the first seven holes
played.
Lqng Matches.
The longest match in the morning
was between Roy Smith of Ottumwa
and Ralph Rider of Des Moines. Rider
lost five out of the first six holes and
then was 1 up at the fifteenth. Smith
evened up matters by the eighteenth
hole, and the nineteenth was halved.
Rider went to pieces on the twenti
eth hole and Smith nad the victory. In
some respects this match was similar
to the one played by Sheehan and El
bert. Sheehan was 1 down when he
came to the eighteenth, but by mak
ing a grand four on the last hole had
the match all even. Each missed easy
puts for three on the nineteenth. On
the twentieth Elbert toed his ball,
while Sheehan drove 225 yards down
the course. It took Elbert four shots
to get onto the green, but Sheehan
missed a two foot put for a five and
Jack got life. Sheehan then topped
his shot on the twenty-first hole, and
the match was all over, as Jack Elbert
got a good four on the hole.
One of the surprises in the morning
was the Adams-Middleton match.
Those who had not been watching the
play of the young Rock Island golfer
closely had figured Adams an easy
winner. But Middleton is putting up
a clever game and in a match in which
neither had any great advantage at
any time Middleton put the veteran
out on the last green.
The galleries during the play yes
terday were large. The contest be
tween Elbert and Finkblne in the
morning and Sheehan and Elbert in
the afternoon drew large crowds. The
eagerness of the players In each match
to win affected their putting slightly,
but aside from that they put up clever
exhibitions.
The officers elected at the meeting
held last evening were as follows:
President—L. W. Maxwell, of Mar
shalltown.
Vice president—Dr. McLaughlin, of
Sioux City.
Secretary—Dwight Baker, of Ottum
wa,
Directors—Richard Hosford of Rock
Island, H. E. Howard, of Burlington,
Bert McKee of Des Moines, Grant
Janney of Oskaloosa and Perdue
Sheldon of Keokuk.
Warren Dickinson, the retiring sec
retary, was given a vote of thanks
and was given the office of historian to
prepare a history of the association
to be published the near future.
Sioux City stated that it would be
glad to entertain the Iowa golfers in
two years. Des Moines will probably
In the secretary's report it was
shown that there are now fourteen
clubs belonging to the state associa
tion. The club is well out of debt, due
to the efforts of Lloyd Maxwell, the
president, and Warren Dickinson, the
secretary. A good balance will be left
in the treasury at the end of the year.
In the evening ah elegant dinner
was served to the visiting golfers by
the Golf and Country club. The large
porch and dining rooms were filled
with golfers and the members of the
Country club. The affair was one of the
most pleasant ever held in the .history
of the association.
