MATCH and medal
honors in the eleventh
annual Midwinter tour
nament were both won
by Maurice Risley of the
Atlantic City Country
Club, who was up
against a contest for
each trophy, both in
qualification and final. His eighty-two
card captured the gold medal, with
Robert Hunter of Wee Burn, George C.
Dutton of Belmont, Harold Slater of Fox
Hills and II. V. Seggerman of Engle
wood snug up in eighty-three. Progress
ing to the final with easy matches, he
found a worthy opponent in C. L. Becker
of the Woodland Golf Club, who was in
the running until the last putt was holed.
1 Making the turn in thirt3r-eight each,
the pair started home all even, Risley
holing a two from well, off the green to
tie the score on the ninth. A lost ball
gave the Atlantic City expert the tenth,
but he surrendered the eleventh, 65,
and the Woodland golfer held his own
with halves in 6 55 4 and 4 on the
next five holes. Becker was in difficulty
on the seventeenth, where Risley holed a
par three, and he maintained the lead
thus gained by halving the eighteenth
for the hole, the match and the trophy.

Risley's semi-final was a six and five
win from Harold Slater of Fox Hills, one
of the favorites. In the second round he
walked away from his clubmate, Dr.
Theodore Senseman, with a score of eight
and seven, and in the first round he was
four up and three to play over II. G.
White of Ridgewood. t Becker's hardest
match was his three and one win from
George C. Dutton of Belmont, the match
much closer than the score indicates.
Two down at the turn the Woodland
golfer won the tenth, lost the eleventh,
took the twelfth and thirteenth to tie,
halved the fourteenth, and won the
next three holes. In the second round
Stuyvesant Le Hoy of Newport was the
victim two down, and in the first round
R. F. Robinson of St. Catherine's lost by
three and two.
Dutton advanced to the semi-final as a
result of a one up win in the keenest first
division match of the week from Dr.
C. II. Gardner, former Rhode Island
champion. One down at the turn, Dutton
rallied coming in, winning the tenth,
eleventh and twelfth holes in 4 5 and 4,
halving the thirteenth and fourteenth,
and in 5's with a winning 3 on the fif
teenth. Dormie three, Dr. Gardner came
back for a win in 5 on the sixteenth and
3 on the seventeenth, but Dutton saved
the match with a halve in 5 on the
eighteenth.
Dr. Gardner was four up at the turn in
his first round with Seggerman, who won
the eleventh, fourteenth and sixteenth,
coming in, but lost the fifteenth and the
match on the seventeenth green in a halve,
f Slater and Z. T. Miller of Dunwoodie
were going fast in the first round and
they kept each other guessing to the
home green which Slater won with a fast
4. All even at the turn, the players
divided honors on the next two holes,
Slater winning the twelfth, losing the
thirteenth, winning the fourteenth, losing
the fifteenth to a 3, and halving the six
teenth and seventeenth.
The President's consolation was a five
and four win for W. II. Faust of the
Buffalo Country Club from Seggerman,
Faust advancing from a 20-hole victory
over Robert Hunter of Wee Burn. All
even at the turn, the tenth and eleventh
were halved, Faust gaining the lead on
the twelfth, maintaining with a halve on
the thirteenth, losing the fourteenth to a
a 4, halving the fifteenth, Hunter gain
ing the lead with a 4 on the sixteenth.
Faust saved the seventeenth for a halve
in 3 with a 12-foot putt, and he tied
the score, 5 6, on the home green. The
nineteenth was a halve in 4 and th
twentieth a win for Faust, 4 5. Hunter'
first round with Dr. Senseman was a
curious one. All even at the turn, the
Wee Burn player won the first thre
holes and halved the thirteenth, but lost
the last five holes and the match.
Two twenty-hole matches character
ized second round play in the second
division, W. J. Macdonald of Calumtt
defeating T. A. Ashley of Woodland, and
C. B. Hudson of North Fork disposing
of Tom Kelley of Southern Pines. One
up at the turn, Macdonald won the
tenth for the lead, halved the eleventh
and twelfth, and became three up on the
I thirteenth. Hudson halved the next two
holes and reduced the lead to dormie two
on the sixteenth, but he lost the match
with a halved seventeenth. If Nip and
tuck to the turn, Hudson halved the
eighteenth and nineteenth, and won the
