There are no small craft warnings at night, otherwis by night red and white lights are combined in a similar fashion to the flags.

Two storm warnings flags displayed together indicate a whole gale or hurricane. That means mooring equipment. Have you checked it lately? The night hurricane signal is two red lights above and below a white light. Small craft operators who fail to notice the red pennant flying from the staff at the Marine Hospital on the Detroit River, flirt with disaster. Stay in sheltered areas when this flag is displayed.

The storm warning, a red flag, with a black, square center, indicates that a storm of marked violence is approaching. This flag never is used alone, but displayed with a red pennant, which indicates easterly winds from northeast to south.

Ixing Jim Barnes and Charlie Hoffmer tied in 1916. The "Haig" won that playoff.

Today's finish was highly dramatic as a smart field got the summer golf season away to a brilliant start. First to finish was little person Runyan, who came down the final stretch in one-over-par figures for the pretty Metropolis Course to post a 72 for a total of 283. He and Picard had tied for the lead at the end of 54 holes with 211. Then came big Ghezzi, tanned and perspiring. He had a 2.r-foot putt for victory but it was too much for him and the ball died a bare four inches from the cup.

He knocked that In for his two-under-par 70. That made a two-way tie and the crowd was tense as Picard, the unmelting candy kid, laid his second shot six feet from the pin. He calmly surveyed the site, stepped up and smartly tapped the ball home. His birdie on the last hole gave him a 72, the same score for the last 18 as Runyan posted. So the three will play off for the J750 first prize and 60 points toward the Vardon Trophy, the standing which makes up to a large extent the personnel of the Ryder Cup team.

After the three winners came Shawnee's gun, long-hitting Jimmy Thomson, of Shawnee-on-Dela-ware. and Blond Craig Wood, of Winged Foot, at 285. Then trailed the two time "Met'' winner, Jimmy Hincs and Harry Cooper, of Groton, at 287. Final irnr of thfl "0 Irmi'Ti- I'c urit 1 41 i'aill Rinnan 1 I 0-7? -3 i. -tor i.dezn 14(1-73-7'!
