LRC TOURNAMENT

COLONY MIXED DOUBLES CHAMPIONSHIP REACHES SEMI-FINAL STAGE

'Jup. Pluv.', who, last week, came in for a certain amount of criticism for the hostile attitude which he seemed to be adopting towards the LRC's annual tournament, really looked as though he was trying to be helpful last evening.

He not only allowed all the events to finish, including several handicap events, he let all players get to the clubhouse and then sent a good sharp shower which relloved the groundsmen of the need to sprinkle the courts and his faithful prophets nt the Royal Observatory seem to 'think that inday again he will be in a gracions mood.

Scottish Golfers Will

Have A Chance To Play The Open Champion

By JAMES

ANDERSON

Peter Thomson, the young Australian golfer who won the Open Championship in Muly, da flying back to Britain to play a special match over Killermont course, "Glasgow, on October 3—and amateur golfers throughout Scotland and the rest of

Britain will be able to play a challenge round against him at the same time.

Thomson's opponents in this "Match of the Century" will be three times Open Champion Bobby Locke (South Africa). They will play one round of 18 holes. But it will be the Australian's score which will count because during that week-ond, October 2 and 8, amateur golfers can take out a half-grown card and try to beat him on handicap.

Thomson, who will play off plus two, will award a signed certißcate to any club player who beats the scratch score of his or her home course by more than he beats the scratch score et Killermont Club golfers, in- cidentally, may play a mapy rounds as they wish-80 long as they buy a special card for each "entry".
