The second cup event of the season, Was the matched play for the cup presented in the year 1925 by A. H. •Pouse for the winner of three years to retain possession of the cup. Another member who has faithfulljj^com. peted year after year, made his first winning of this cup. Frank Maierhofer of Niles Center will hold the cup for the year 1931.

Galitz, championship runner-up for 1931, was presented with a silver medal properly en- 'graved. While the presentation of the cups Aand medals brings the tournament season, which started April 26 and ended Sept. 20, without a single Sunday having some event for. members of the club, to a close th§ golf season is not ended by any means as the course is in better playing condition at the present time than it has been any time since July 1. Sundays and week days find many players enjoying them selves on the beautiful course at the McHenry Country club. It always seems just too bad that the vacation period is over at this time of year as the game is so much more interest, log and more pleasant to play at this jMason than during the hot weather earlier in the season.
