PLANS MADE FOR A GOLF TOURNEY Enthusiastic Meeting Held Ry Decatur Fans; Local ('nurse I’robalr A meeting of local golf entliur.la its wns held at the induntrlal rooms last night. The meeting was well attend e.t and indications are that enough interest will be manifested soon tr warrant a course near Decatur It was decided to have a city championship tournament during the last week in September Entries lor the tourney must be turned in to t'al F'etetson at the T.-ople and Peters..n clothing store by Sep teniber 19. The entry must be accompanied by four of the latest scares made by entrant. These scores will be used in handicaps, so that each contest will be evenly matched regardless of whether the player Is a be pinner or a finished pl tyer. The tournament, will be open to all people living In Decatur. About twen-ty-five have already signified their intentions of entering the meet and several prizes will be awarded, including golf balls, dubs, a golf bag and several other articles necessary •fur a golfer. It has not been decided defiiultely where thetoutney will be held, but Van Wert and Fort Wayne appear to be the two most popular courses for the Decatur fans. Some talk is current about leasing a farm near Decatur and* organizing a golf club among the citizens of this city. It is not thought that anything will be done regarding it at present, but it is high ly probable that Decatur will hate a course by next summer. o_ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ BASEBALL STANDING + «++++***+ * + + * + + National League Pittsburgh 71 46 .<ll2 New York 68 54 .557 Cincinnati 63 50 .DIG St..
