Thla ruling disqualifies R. W. Ruhl, champion dub In 1032 and .833, who turned suddenly hot yesterday and defeated Ralph Woodford, the super par pill shooter, by breezing around the course with an 87, to his oppon ent's 98. Aa thla la supposedly a dub tournament, the committee felt thr.t any chiaeler who can break 80 should be forced to default and enter some tournament In hla class, like the P. a. A. or the British Open. Under this ruling. Ralph Woodford will continue In the tournament, and probably meet Jack Porter In the aecond round, to be played thla week. To mollify Ruhl, who promptly protested thla ruling through the well known local golfing attorney, Rawles Moore (who not only lost hla match to Orln Schenok yesterday, but lost a new ten-cent golf ball), the com mittee voted to donate the ex-champ dub's' fine to the purchase of a new golf cup, to be known as the "cham pion Dub" golf trophy, which will be awarded to the winner each year, and become the personal property of the dub winning It 30 conMCUtlve times, The old tin cup trophy donated by the Modern, Plumbing and Sheet Metal company, will go to the winner of the duffera' tournament where every entrant shooting lesa than 100 la fined $3 and costs. The grievance committee believes that by taking thla firm and states manlike stand, not only will the al ready great Interest In dub and duffnr golf be Increased, but the finances of the local club will show a marked Improvement at once, Before the present tournament Is over, It Ja expected that Charby Strang. Frank Reum and Jack Thompson will follow Ruhl'a example, for in private practice they are all breaking 00. find hereafter their score oarda will be audited not only by their opponents but by Orln Schenck, the well known private detective, golf atyllst and certified public account ant. 4 ERS WIN. 8-7, OF SEALS WOULD TOP OLDJECORD Joe Di Maggio Raps Out Pair of Homers and Single in Opening Games With In dians Ducks Win One Scores yesterday.
