F. J. llailey by One Up.
FRIDAY'S thirty-six hole match play
rounds closed the United North
and South Amateur Championship for
1004, and brought to an end the most
brilliant tournament in the history of
golfing here. From start to finish
splendid golf and clqse matches were
the rule rather than the exception.
In the final round for the Champion
ship trophy, Waller J. Travis the ama
teur champion, had things much his own
way, defeating Chas. IJ. Corey of the
Oakley Country Ciub, Watertown, Mass.
the runner-up, by the score of eight up
and seven to play.
Corey was not in the brilliant form of
Thursday and the champion was at his
best. At the end uf the morning round
Corey was six down. He made a good
rally in the afternoon, but the odds were
too great, and the match ended on the
eleventh hole.
Ideal weather was the rule throughout
the week and the course was never in
better condition. Its excellence and the
ideal conditions for play were no doubt,
largely responsible for the splendid
scores. The various matches were . fol
lowed with iuterest by large galleries,
and the Club House aud course were
thronged during the entire week.
The tournament ends to-day with the
thirty-six hole open "Southern Cham
pionship" event.

THE WOMEN'S Championship event
of the big tournament began Mon
day and ended Tuesday, and a series of
close matches led up to the final rounds.
The introduction of a special cup for the
consolation, or second eight to qualify,
was a happy thought and this event was
fully as interesting as the Championship.
Mrs. M. D. Paterson of the Engle
wood Golf Club, New Jersey, took the
final round for the cup from Miss M.
Eleanor Freeman of the Montclair Golf
Club, by a score of five up and three to
play, in a pretl y contest. Miss Freeman
played a splendid game going out and at
the turn was only two down. She ral
lied at this point and took the tenth hole
and missed a short putt on the eleventh
for a win. From this point, however,
the.winner had things much her own
way.
Mrs. Paterson's match in the first
round with Miss M. E. Hefielfinger was
a close and uncertain contest which was
practically decided at the fifteenth hole.
At this point the score was two up, in
favor of Mrs. Paterson, who was obliged
to make a long putt for a halve. The
long sixteen hole, however, Miss Hefiel
finger lost on a poor second shot.
Miss Freeman had a series of close
matches before her final round with Mrs.
Paterson, beating both Miss Edith Bar
nett of New Haven, in the first round
and Mrs. William West of Camden, in
the second, by a single stroke on the
eighteenth green.
The consolation participants were well
matched and the preliminary matches
were hard fought. The final round for
the cup between Mis Susan C. Aldridge
of the Kearsarge Golf Club, N. II., and
Miss Ethel Check of East Orange, New
Jersey, was the feature of the women's
tournament, Miss Aldridge winning the
nineteenth hole by a single stroke.
