Thlrti'-six matches, men's and women’s singles, were run-off as players streamed in and off the courts from morning go dusk. Favorites in all cases advanced, but many of those before be- mg relegated to the sidelines provided plenty of opposition to give spee- tators many exciting moments. Hopes of Maritime players and spectators that Marcel Jhinvilie, up-g watt, and Roger Durivage, all of Montreal, and Ross Wilson or Toronto would go into action were dashed when the four outstanding players in the men‘ss divinon failed to arrive in time to gn on the warts. Don McDla.rm|d of Ottawa did not see action either. Watt and Wilson accompanied by C. Peters and K.

Favorites were hard to pick in the large field entered for the m t ee _ One of the most likely, however. ` was Pete Kelly of Charlottetown, the red-thatched National League hockey player who reached the quarter hnals in the Canadian championships at Ottawa last month. But there were plenty to oppose him on his home course, They included C. M. "Gint" Cain of tia and New Brunswick champion: R. G. Likely and J. Foster of Saint John‘s Westerfield Club; R. C. Duchemin, D. H. Wlillam, D_V. Rainnie, and H. P. Connor of Ash- burn, Hnlifax; Nip Ross of New Glasgow, and others. Yesterday was marked with the arrival of scores of players and they immediately set- out on the course to get the hang of it. The entire day was devoted to practice rounds and no competition of any kind was held. Last time` the Maritime tourna- ment was held at Belvedere was in 1933 when studious Allan Findlay stroked his way through a whis- tling half-gale to win the cham- pionship with a surprising display of golfing under such conditions. Weather of an opposite nature was expected for this year‘s meet. A sizzling sun beatingdown on the rolling fairways of the 224-yard course was predicted-exactly the type of weather Charlottetown has had for the last month. After today‘s medal play the tournament will divide into six divisions of 16 players for the rest of the meet. Elimination matches will be held in each division, with first and second rounds being play- ed Wednesday; semi-finals Thurs- day and dnals Friday. Consola- tion divisions will also be formed for those defeated in the first rounds of the various regular div- isions, and the Association will give prizes for driving, approaching and putting competitions. 'I'he semi-final and final matches will be 36 holes. All Stars And Cu bs Play Yarmouth, N.S., former Nova Sco- ` This Evening The All Stars and Cubs cla,- Nu <-A SQQ O -was Ash.
