Travers. 53 vears old. breezed through to his goal, playin fect 9oiwaVer made the turn, he had a count of 39 and the famous golfer, realized that it would take ji pu anrt h"ake h.im chamPon. Two bad strokes made things look dismal for him, but he holed out a t ed it in in his fifty-third year. It was the second -irr.e that an amateur golfer has turned championship g remarkable 37 wen- 1 (By a Charlotte Golfer.) Interest in the semi-finals played to day continues with increased interest Notwithstanding the elimination of yesterday and much interest centers on the match play of Whitney and Bush, both of New Orleans. Both of these players are excellent, and show a degree of conception of the real points of the game, that is commen dable. Bush is considered one of the most graceful players on the course and one to watch his game is impress ed with it. His faults are slicing and hooking, but he gets great distance in his drives. Unfortunately he seems unable' to overcome them. His strong est point is his brassie shot, which is simply marvelous for distance and di rectness. Strange that he hooks and slices in his drives and plays so well with his brassie, the shot McNamara says is the most important in the game of golf. To watch Nelson Whitney, present champion, is a treat. He is a grace ful player, and as steady as the pen dulum of a clock. He never com ments on good or bad plays, but uses his head all the time, which proves he is a golfer of the right make. His game is right for the center of the course all the time. His faults are 'few, if any, in the game for he plays all of his shots well and with delib eration, and much of his success is due to this. They say he is super stitious about his clubs and hat, espe cially when he is playing in a tourna ment. When he once starts the game with his hat in a certain position he never takes it off or changes its. po sition. Another promising young golfer is R. P. Jones of Atlanta, the young man who eliminated W. M. Paul yesterday. He, for one so young is remarkable, and the golf -vorld will yet hear from him, for he is destined to be a cham pion. On the East Lake course yesterday Mrs. S. I. Munger beat Miss Alexa Sterling, present lady champion, In a friendly match 1 up in 7 holes. Dark ness called the game off. When one considers that Miss Sterling has been playing for six years under one of the finest trainers in the south, Stewart Maiden, Charlotte has reason to be proud of Mrs. Munger's playing. Miss Sterling has a. drive that is remark able for one so young, using only one drive and one brassie ghot to land her on the first green, a distance f 400 yards. She also takes one iron shot to land on the 11th green, a distance of 175 yards. This gives one an idea of this expert player. She is auburn haired and full Scotch descent. The East Lake course is the finest to be found anywhere, the club house? alone costing $85,000, and is a fire-proof building. In 'aying off the grounds they hrd the valuable assistance of Mr. George Adair and Mr. Stewart Maiden, who visited Europe for ' the purpose of getting all the' latest de tails. These have all been put into this course and it is full of sand pits, traps, water hazzards, and difficult greens to put on. The view from the club house overlooks a beautiful like and the grounds inviting the criticism of the most critical eye. Nothing has been left undone that could be done to make the course perfect. It costs $10, 000 a year to keep up the grounds alone. The course is 3,264 yards, only 401 yards longer than Charlotteos. At the close of the semi-finals Nel son Whitney defeated R. G. Bush, Jr., both of New Orleans, 6 up, and C. L. Dexter of Dallas, Texas, defeated Perry Adair, Atlanta, 4-3. R. P. Jones, Jr., defeated W. M. Paul, 3-2. When Adair went up against Dexter he went up against the champion of Texas. He is somewhat on the style of Whitney in playing, and when these two meet in the finals it is going to be Greek meet Greek. I may be mis taken, but if Dexter keeps up the pace he has set, he will beat Whitney. It j will be a beat for Dexter or he will go all to pieces. There will be nol half way grounds, a severely fought contest or a slump that will be appal-j ling. I saw Dexter after the finish and J he was as cool as an autumn evening. He is very tall and stoops over quite i a good deal in playing but he hits them, you know it, for a straight shot and . distance. He is quite affable, but like Whitney, has little to say. Young Adair deserves much credit for staying until the close of the semi-finals. While only a boy in years he will also make his reputation. When you think of Atlanta having the lady champion, Miss Alexa Sterling, and the prospective ones, in Adair and Jones, it reflects much credit to the credit and skill of Stewart Maiden, pro fessional of the East Lake course, who is the right man for the. place. Quiet and unassuming he has the respect and admiration of all whom he comes in contact with. It's up to Dexter to beat Whitney loday in the finals. Will he do it? ' 88 m 4' ' '"KS'i'S'iV.ViViVtNV.
