PLUVIUS UPSETS GRANDSIRE TOURNEY The weather man, who has been so much in evidence of late, made his appearance at the Glen View Golf club Saturday and made it impossi- ble to play the annual Grandsires' tournament. The rain had no terrors for George H. Moore, however, who would not quit but played the round. He finished with a net Score of 78. It is thought he will not push his claim for the cup and the tourna- ment will be held later. Mr. Moore's score counted in the class handicap, it being the best one made in class C. I. H. Fall, Jr., cap- tured the honors in class A with a net of 88, and an allowance of 8. Class B honors went to R. BL Riley with a card of 88--14--74. Kenneth Burns had low gross with an 86. Members of the Evanston Golf club competed Saturday in the qualit fying round for the club champion- ship. J. P. Ling led the first fight- ers with a total of 156. The scores follow: First Flight. J.
