Purves of Woodland
divided premiere honors
in the Advertising Golf
Tournament. Winning
the qualification medal,
Purves advanced to the
match play final with
but one hard round, while Slater found
his path strewn with roses throughout,
winning the Championship trophy in -the
thirty-six hole test with an eight and
seven victory. Slater's semi-final was a
three and two win from T. A. Ashley of
Woodland; his second round, six and
five, from Z. T. Miller of Dunwoodie,
and his first, four and three from T. B.
Boyd of Bellerieve. 1 Purves won by
six and five from R. R. Mamlok of Fox
Hills in the semi-final; but in the second
round, he found Josiah J. Hazen of Oak
land a tenacious opponent. AH even at
the turn, the score was the same on the
fourteenth, Purves winning the next two
holes for the lead, losing the seventeenth
and halving the eighteenth in four for
the match. In the first round, the
Woodland golfer scored six and five in
play with J. A. Moore of Scarsdale.
The. real test of first division play
came in the second round where Ashley's
match with W. J. Macdonald of Calumet
was uncertain in its outcome until the
last putt was holed. All even at the
turn, Ashley ran down a three for a
win on the tenth, but he lost the
eleventh, and the pair zig-zagged back
and forth on the way to the six
teenth where Ashley gained the lead and
maintained it with halves in the two re
maining holes, f Mamlok was four up
on L. A. Hamilton of Englewood at the
turn, but "Louie" braced, coming in by
halving the tenth and winning the
eleventh and twelfth. Mamlok pulled
the thirteenth out of the fire, and he won
the fourteenth and fifteenth. Hamilton
was after him again on the sixteenth,
but a halve on the seventeenth settled it,
two up and one to play.
In the consolation, George C. Dutton
of Belmont started out with a 36-hole
win from E. M. Alexander of Fox Hills.
Tieing at eighteen holes', the committee
ruled an eighteen-hole play-ofl in view
of the fact that Dutton conceded seven
strokes. Losing the first three holes on
the afternoon round, Dutton gained the
lead again by winning the next four, and it
was anybody's match to the thirty-fourth
which Alexander's stroke won for him
to tie. Halving the thirty-fifth, Dutton
won the thirty-sixth in four for the
ties; W. R. Hotchkin of Montclair win
ning the second from W. W. Manning of
Upper Montclair on the nineteenth.
C. A. Speakman of Siwanoy took the
consolation on the home green from
S. K. Evans of Knollwood. f Willi R.
Roberts of Bala won the third division
from II. F. Johnson of Racine, and in

from J. D. Plummer of Springfield.

ROYAL WELCOME FOR OUIMET
Keen for Golf, He Comes for Glimpse
at America's St. Andrews
International In It Character, is
Visit of Most Conspicuous Figure
in the Coifing: World
NOT SINCE the visit of
Harry Vardon has a
welcome equalled that
accorded National Ope a
Champion Francis
Ouimet who arrived
yesterday morning for
a glimpse at " America's
St. Andrews." f Ouimet
has been out of the game for some time
but the desire to get back hag finally
taken possession of him, and be is an
ticipating his stay here with the keen
ness of a school-boy on the way to the
old swimming pool on a hot summer
afternoon. Accompanying Ouimet is his
friend, Paul Tewksbury, also of the
Woodland Club. 1As the most con
spicuous figure in the golfing world to
day, Ouimet's visit here will be Interna
tional in its character, and while he plans
only to "whack the ball 'round a bit,"
doubtless during the process of whack
ing course records will be broken, and
rare entertainment provided for hundreds
to whom golf play is a recreation here.
England has some time since expressed
its approval of the young amateur's com
ing invasion, which is now definitely set
tled by the announcement of Secretary
French of the Woodland Club. "The
directors and members of the Woodland
Club," said Secretary French in a recent
interview, "authorized the raising of
funds to pay Ouimet's actual traveling
expenses during the trip, and the directors
have estimated that $800 will be sufficient.
They also have decided that this fund
shall be known as the Woodland Ouimet
fund, and shall be in the custody of the
treasurer, and shall be paid out only by
vote of the directors.
" This plan follows the regulations laid
down by the U. S. G. A., and forestalls
any criticism of Ouimet's amateur stand-j
ing. If there is any surplus left over it
will be used for purchasing prizes to be
played for by members of the club.
" Letters have been received from va
rious clubs in England, expressing their5
satisfaction over Ouimet's entry to their;
amateur championship and assuring him
a royal welcome upon his arrival. He
