Wells, of the Oakmont Country Club, led his field in the Sixteenth Annual Autumn Tournament after five days of play replete with surprises from beginning to end and finally met C. W. Diebel, Youngstown, in the final round, whom he defeated easily enough 5 up and 3 to play. The tournament brought out more sur prises than have ever been witnessed in a tournament at Pinehurst. Thomas D. Armour, the Scotch star who has been playing such brilliant golf throughout the country, and who was first Amateur in the Amateur-Professional Best Ball Tournament at Pinehurst just a few days before, won the qualifying medal in easy fashion and was an odds-on choice to win the tournament, but he elected not to be an exception to the unwritten rule that medallists do not win tournaments, and succumbed to C. W. Diebel in the semi-final round 2 and 1. In the meantime, Wells had oeen ex hibiting steady and consistent golf, de feating his opponents one by one, and in this same semi-final round defeated E. L. Scofield, who was second choice in favoritism, and advanced to meet Diebel in the final round which he won by the comfortable margin of 5 and 3. Wells played the same steady game that had carried him through to victory by wide margins in all his preceding matches in the tournament and was especially good when on or near the greens. Diebel, on the other hand, who had- possibly not recovered from the shock of defeating Armour the day be fore, was not up to his usual form. He took 45 to go out and made the turn 3 down. Wells was 4 up when the four teenth was reached, and he won the match and the tournament by 5 up and 3 to play when he sank a long putt for a winning 3 on the fifteenth green. An interesting feature connected with Mr. Wells win is the faet that he is a man 21 and over (a Suffragist expres sion) and did not take up the game of golf until after he had passed the forties. R. B. Sharman, of Youngstown, car ried off the prize in the consolation sec tion of the first division, defeating T. J. Bray of the same club. ' The Governors trophy, to the winner of the second sixteen, went to B. H. Hunt of Worcester, who took H. E. Porter into camp, 7 and 5. P. B. O'Brien, Pine hurst, disposed of J. B. Kennedy, Youngs town, and won the consolation prize in this division. The third division prize went to J. W. Gilbert, Bedford, who defeated A. D. Sikes, Buffalo, 2 and 1, while George Lewis, Franklin, "won from Dan Good, of the same club, for the consolation trophy, The summary: FIRST SIXTEEN First Match Round E. L. Scofield, Stamford, beat A.
