He even added that five of- the six members of the sites commit- tee had expressed their desire to have the tournament staged here. The only dissenting member, \he remarked was the representative from Belmar, N. J., which also is bidding- for the event. Mr. Shiel, who became a Free- port resident three months ago, _said-_the_Jersey_towiis^ were anxious to get tile' tournament- and that -Freeport should show its enthusi- asm too; if It wanted to win out. After listening to-the remarks of the two speakers, the directors 'pledged themselves to raise J ?2,000, the amount it was said, would be 'necessary to-bring the event here*\. Mr. • Brody \ said' businessmen of \communities which sponsored 'the tournament usually received a couple hundred thousand dollars.in revenue du^ng^the four \days fronf the thousands of people- attracted\ by it. -'-> ------V- -• K. of C.
