In match play he figured in the fast
est rounds of the week, advancing from
an easy victory over Frank Presbrey of
Garden City, in opening play, to a nine-teen-hole
match with Frederick Snare of
Englevvood, which a single stroke de
cided. In the semi-final he met Mr. Free
man whom he defeated three up and two
to play, the seventeenth green deciding
the final.
In the match with Mr Snare the score
was even up on the seventh, but Mr.
Snare won the eighth and ninth in three
each, starting home two up. The tenth
was halved, Mr. Tuckerman won the
eleventh in four, one under bogey, halved
the twelfth and won the thirteenth to
even the match. Mr. Snare took the
long . fourteenth, with a par four,
holing a screaming putt, and won the
fifteenth on Mr. Tuckerman's failure to
run down a moderate putt. Mr. Tucker
man evened the match again on the six
teenth, with' a fast four, won the short
seventeeth, tnd evened the score again
on the eighteenth green. Brilliant play
gave the extra hole to Mr. Tuckerman,
who made the green with his midiron
and went down in two strokes.
In the match with Mr. Hazen, Mr.
Tuckerman started rather badly being
two down at the fifth, but he rallied at
this point, evened the score at the turn,
halved the tenth and eleventh, won the
twelfth and thirteenth, halved the four
teenth and fifteenth, lost the long six
teenth, and captured the match on the
short seventeenth, with a par three.
The features of the game were Mr.
Tuckerman's niblick approach on the
ninth, placing the ball dead to the hole
from a bunker thirty yards away. On
the fourteenth a stymie saved the hole
for Mr. Hazen, Mr. Tuckerman's bril
liant shot on the seventeenth undoubt
edly preventing an extra hole contest.
