Mixed Foursome Tourney to be Played on Thursday GOLF SEASON OPENS

Handicap Committee Busy on The Allowances Which will be Liberal as Usual

The greens committee of the Cape May Golf Club decided yesterday to schedule another handicap medal play mixed foursome touney for the chief event of Independence Day, and the handicap committee is new busy at work on the allowances which will be

liberal as usual.

the medal handicap of the ladies' and of the gentlemen will be added divided by two and two thirds of this amount will represent the allowance

for July Fourth.

Last year Samuel Bispham of the Bala Golf dub who chose Miss Guldie Davis of Philadelphia, as a partner, was successful in carrying off the premier prize in the July Fourth event and this year be and Miss Davis will again be paired as partners. They have been in practice some time now and stand an excellent chance of being returned

winners again.

The flrst Scotch foursome of this season will be played on Saturday. The Greens Committee posted a new local role Saturday to the effect that balls on or within a club's length of the Beading Hallway tracks, which were laid this spring across the club's - property, and which cut the fairway of the fifth and sixth holes, may be lifted without penalty. This is in direct opposition to the Royal and Ancient Rules, which distinctly emphasize railroads as hazzards but the local committee is perfectly justified in Us action, inasmuch ai the tracks were put -down long after the scheme of the links had been definitely planned and may, therefore, be Justly treated under the head of ‘’ground under repair." The local collars were dumfounded last Friday afternoon whan they came to the fifth hole and found the play to the green cutoff by a long line of coal cars. This spring the bearing railroad ran a siding into the gas works, which cuts the fair green of the fifth hole about ten yards from the green, but play heretofore has out been intereferred with, as an opening was always left. the hole yesterday was the sportiest in the country requiring a carry from the tee of 140 yards over the coal cars 16 feet in height. then a drop dead on to the green, as any run at all would put the players in trouble in the creek on the opposite side. the Reeding siding also effects play to the sixth hole which now requires a carry of 150 yars to clear the tracks. These changes do not affect the play of the gentlemen but are a serious handicap to the ladies and it is possible that shorter tees may be put in
