Several fans followed the match around, and more than 50 local members awaited the foursome at the last hole to ascertain who won the chicken dinners. The match was close for the first 9 boles, and great interest prevailed when the four golfers drove off on the second half of the match. Mr. Klepper and Mr. Schafer, however, soon took a commanding lead and were not in danger during the second round. Yesterday was a banner day at the Tountry Club, there being more than 75 golfers registering at the local course. Walter Craig, local professional, set a new record for the course, making the 9 holes in 38 strokes, one over par.
