A?ML 13, 1922 PAGE 9 HENRY J. TOPPING WINS (Continued from Page 5) tie green at the right. Topping won the seventh, eighth and ninth and made the turn 1 up. Topping became 2 up -when he won the tenth with a five, Robeson missing a short putt, and from this hole on Top ping had all the best of the match. He played with great confidence and won on the sixteenth green, 3 up and 2 to play. Topping made another great stretch run in his match with E. L. Scofield in the semi-finals. He was 3 down at the ninth when the match had to be discontinued on account of rain. When play was resumed the following day the players started where they left off the day before and Topping won four in a row in par figures and squared the match. Scofield then obtained another lead of two holes, but Topping again squared at the twentieth hole. Another remarkable match of the tour nament was the semi-final round between Robeson and W. C. Fownes, Jr., of Oak mont, former national amateur cham pion. Robeson won the first five holes, one in par and four with birdies. Fownes, after taking a six on the first hole, play ed the next four in par but lost them all. Robeson holed a 12-foot putt for a three at the second, a 15-foot putt for a three at the third, a shorter one for a three at the fourth and another 12-footer for a four at the fifth. Robeson was out in 33 and Fownes in 36. Robeson was three up. Fownes made a great effort to catch Robeson by playing the sure and masterful play game which has made him one of the greatest of American amateur golfers. He cut Robeson's lead to one up at the thir: teenth and had the edge all the way to the fourteenth, but Robeson holed a fine putt at the fourteenth to hold his one lead, and then sank a long one for a three to win the fifteenth . The sixteenth was halved and Fownes won the seventeenth with a three, Robe son driving into the trap at the right. Fownes made a gallant effort to win the eighteenth and square the match. He hit two fine wooden shots which left him a putt of less than ten feet for a three. He made a fine putt but just missed the cup at the left. Robeson was short in two but played a fine third, four feet beyond the hole and obtained a par four to win the match, one up. A left-hand golfer from Nashville, Mike Thomas, proved one of the interest ing figures in the championship. Thomas surprised the delegation when he elimin ated Frank C. Newton of Brookline, 3 a"d 1, in the first round, and in the second round he defeated Arthur Yates, the medalist, two up. Thomas is the finest left-hand player ever seen on the Pinehurst links. He went to the semi finals where Topping defeated him, 3 and 2. Another interesting first round match 'ugbt Donald Parson against A. L. 'Hker, JrM Richmond County. Par " won, two and one.
