One Day Tournnamenta. The Cape May Golf Club Is going - try something new In the way ol golf competitions next week. A one day tournament will be played and -B he scheme torus cut ibe way It> iromotera believe. It could be profit iMy employed by clubs which art generally under the necessity of geting their golfing affairs through In i single day. The plan Is very simple. Entrants play a nine-hole qualifying round and are dasaified In flighta of eight. The second nine boles are at match,play, reducing each class onehalf, and Ihbe third and fourth represent the usual semifinals and* final round. Tbe idea should be particularly attractive to summer resort clubs, where people arc always coming and going and are seldom ablle and willing to give the customary three days to the playlug tt a tournament.
