Mar 18 JJ8 ' A TEASER YANKEES DROP PRINCE OP WALES AND WALTER 1IAGEN ANOTHER GAME WIN IN GOLF GAME Xt4. 9, Cleopatra 215 IOO O The ninth hole of the Jasper Paik Lodge Golf Course, Jasper National Parle, Alberta, ovr whLh the amateur championship of the Royal Canadian Golf Association will be played August 19-24 this summer, is one of the trickiest tn Canada. The championship tee (N'o. 1) is considerably elevated and the green, which is very fast, is also built up high. The trick, therefore, is to play a tee shot which will hold the green. Yawning traps surround the green to eat up the strokes of the golfer who fails to play this hole properly. Like its famous namesake, "Cleopatra" is likely to wreck a lot of reputations at Jasper in August. Co-incident with the Canadian Amateur the Western Canada Amateur will be played over the Jasper Tark Lodge Course, and this will provide plenty of competition for those whose high handicaps automatically, keeps them out of the Dominion event. The upper photograph was made from No. 1 tee. Below it is a plan t- scale showing the hole in detail with the three tecs plainly indicated. be figures below represent the yardages.
