The second annual tournament of the Northern Ontario Golf Associaâ€" tion was held at the Timmins course on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, August ‘l1th, 12th and 13th. The Association got away to a good start last year at Haileybury, and the seâ€" cond year of its history adds another sterling meet to its records. Toâ€" gether with this, and of interest were the entries from two clubs not reâ€" presented last year,â€"Cochrane and Idyvl Wyld of Sudbury. The first day of the tournament games were arranged in foursomes in a qualifying medal play of 36 holes, the leading 16 players to continue in the tournament. â€" Play started at 8.30 In spite of the dull weather and | the cold rain of the morning some excellent golf was played. Thc' greens covered with canvas to proâ€" tect them against the rains of the previous night, proved to be in execelâ€"| lent condition, though, perhaps, a bit slow to begin with. ‘The fairways were never better, and the whole course showed to better advantage than it has at any previous time, The showers and wind of the first morning did not interfere greatly with the quality of the golf played. Fairer weather graced the afterâ€" noon meeting. The qualifying round at the end of the first day found the following players in the running with Merwin of Sudbury, leading the field : 1: 2 Total Merwin, Sudbury.. .. .. 83 80 163 Nott, Dr. North Bay .. 89 84 173 Lee, R.

A meetâ€" ing for association purposes was held and North Bay was named as the place for the tournament in 1928. (Geo. W. Lee was chosen president and Dr. Nott, North Bay, secretary. The atfâ€" fairs of the association proved to be in a very healthy condition and Mr. Lee promises that North Bay will add to the progress that the Northern Onâ€" tario Golf Association has made, The remainder of the evening was given over to song and story. Some sweet singers from Schumacher were introduced to the guests and even a few warblers from Timmins vied with them in singing old but popular meloâ€" dies. ‘‘Lap‘‘ Laprairie was there too with a flock of new stories. Jimâ€" mie Todd accompanied at the piano. The following seven players were tied each with a score of 187 :â€" Drew, Lowe, MeCoy, MeDonald, Milâ€" ler, Williams and Wookey. As two of this number were required to comâ€" plete the 16 players an eliminating medal round of 9 holes was played on Friday morning when Lowe and Williams managed to squeeze themâ€" seleves into the qualifying round.

Lake seemed to be off his game while Fairlie surprised himself and enthused his friends in taking the gcame rather easily. In the Campbellâ€"G. W. Lee game, the Lee family had to rely on the younger player to uphold the honours for the T. N. O. and North Bay. Nevertheless we still believe that Geo. W. Lee (known as "Jarge‘‘ when putting) can and does play uood golf The Emeryâ€"Anson match saw the former making a strong bid to con tinue to another stage by playing the quality of golf which earried him through the qualifying round. a It seemed a coincidence that John Fogg should play someone by the name of Woodman, but in golf as in lumber, the genial Jawn W. makes it a serious business and youth has to bo w toâ€"â€"we shall not say age but Dr. Nott, North Bay, disposed of Bill Brydges, Iroquois Falls, and Wilâ€" liams fell before Lowe. The third stage of 16 holes, mateh play, was continued on Friday afterâ€" noon. A small gallery followed with interest the play of Merwin and Dr. Nott. Many were attracted by the style and powerful strokes of the Sudâ€" bury player but the North Bay doeâ€" tor was out to foree him to the limit and he did. Both played up to the excellent form displayed by them in the qualifying and second games. Bob Lee attracted considerable atâ€" tention on account of his youthâ€"17 vyears of age. He played like an oldâ€" timer to win from Emery. His conâ€" trol over the iron elubs was perfect and coming to the greens he laid his pitches dead on. In the Foggâ€"Fairlie contest inâ€" terest was not divided as their many friends followed them around with the thought that it would be pleasant no matter who won. _~The contest concluded at the 18th hole with Fairlie one up.

The splendid weather of the preâ€"} vious day was continued specially for | the semiâ€"finals. _ More perfect goltf weather could not have been provided. greens and fairways were again in excellent order. The greens showing, if any change, from the previous day,l a bit faster. ‘ Added to the fact that four different clubs were represented in the semiâ€" finals there was increased interest in the play of ‘‘Bob‘‘ Lee, the 17â€"yearâ€" old expert from North Bay. Many had called <Ben Merwin, who had shown such excellent form in the preâ€" liminaries, to win out but the youngâ€" ster gave an exhibition that ranks him as one of the most accomplished wolfers in Northern Ontario. His par 35 in the first round of 9 holes cave evidence of his class in which he won 4 holes to Mervin‘s one, four being halved. In this round Merwin had a count of 39. In the second round Merwin betâ€" tered his count to 38 for a total of 75. Lee took 40 for a total of 77, but in this he was only able to win three to the youngster‘s one, leav1 ing 5 holes halved, I match one up. A fairâ€"sized gallery followed these two players admiring the skill shown by the younger player in equalling or surpassing the drives of his older opâ€" ponent. There was little to choose in the length of the drives, the younger player usually getting the better position on the fairway, while Merwin drove oftener in to the rough from which he just as often recovered with a finished stroke. _ Many had called Merwin to win as he had been playing a class of golf diffeult to beat. In physical comparison with Lee, he was big and strong to the youngster‘s slim but active form. Bob showed a commanding aceuracy once he was within range of the greens. In fact this had carried him through his cames so far. _ this was the game which the gallery followed the play is given in detail Hole No. 1â€"500 yds.â€"Par 5â€"Lee drove firstâ€"250 yards to a good lie on the fairway. _ Merwin drove 250 yards into. the rough on the right. «y* With his second stroke (iron) Lee reached the gap between the bunkers while Merwin was in the rough to the rigcht of the bunker.
