June 10, 1915. 



The Beverly Country Club links was 

 the scene of the ninth annual tour- 

 nament of the Lumlierinen 's Golf As- 

 sociation of Chicago, which was held 

 on Tuesday, June S. Addison Still- 

 well of the Stillwell Lumber Company 

 led a field of niiiety-three lumber- 

 men in the qualifying round of the 

 championship tournament, his card 

 being 79-81-160. This was seven 

 strokes better than that made by E. 

 C. Mueller of Davenport, who had 

 rounds of 82 and 85. W. J. Foye of 

 Omaha was third with a total of 170. 

 Others qualifying for the champion- 

 ship play, which was carried on later 

 at the Midlothian Country Club for 

 the championship cup and gold and 

 silver medals, were G. J. Pope, Chi- 

 cago, score 180; P. F. Stone, Eock- 

 ford, score 180; H. A. Knapp, Indian- 

 apoUs, 178; F. M. Baker, Chicago, 

 182; and C. M. McDonald, Chicago, 

 178. The final result of the play was 

 the victory of Stillwell in the thirty- 

 six hole final over William .1. Foye of 

 Omaha, 8 and 6. 



• The day was excellent for playing, 

 all the events except the champion- 

 ship flight being finished. 



Stillwell won his second leg on the 

 American Lumberman 'a cup, given for 

 low gross score, in the afternoon. His 

 card was 81. Foye took the runner-up 

 prize after a tie with E. C. Mueller 

 and 6. J. Pope, at 85. Of course, it 

 has always been customary to allow 

 only one prize to any one individual player, and as a result in some 

 instances the prizes went to higher scores than the actual winners in 

 the event turned in. One of these instances was Mr. Stillwell 's play 

 for the cup donated by himself for low gross score for thirty-six holes,
