Germ Of An Idea That Should Be Fruitful

Open And On Handicap

(By "Birdie")

AROUND THE 19TH HOLE the other day there was talk of an open tournament for golfers in aid of the Bomber Fund, and tongues were go- ing at quite an enthusiastic rate. It is an appoȧl- ing idea, and if organised should bear fruit.

The first consideration was whether it would prove more successful if run on the Open Championship liner or on handicaps, and without a doubt it was agreed that the second would open the competition to more players, and thus provide a greater support for the Fund.

PENNANT ASPIRATIONS of the Marauding Mohawks and the Maple Leaf Lassics were given a rude setback over the weok-ond as both leading teams went down to bitter defeat, making the pay-off scramble more complicating than over.

A flustered, weak-playing Canuckettes nine was sent scurrying to the cleaners before a fierce 11-2 Wildcat on- slaught. The ball bombing Indians preserved their mathematical chance in their fight for the men's senior loop pennant by stopping a strong Mohawk threat.

Chung Hwa Maroons retained their league-lending spot in the Junior loop with a close 6-5 win over South China's fighting-mad ball tossers.
