THE fifth annual United
North and South Am
ateur Championship Tour
nament ended yesterday,
with a brilliant thirty-six
hole final match between
Dr. L. Lee llarban of
the Columbia Golf Club,
Washington, the veteran
of many hard-fought battles, and young
Fred Herreshoff of New York, who won
distinction through his splendid light
against II. Chandler Egan in the finals of
the amateur championship last fall, the
Washington player winning by the nar
row margin of one up.
The match takes its place as one of the
most closely contested ever played here,
equalled only by the finals between Walter
J. Travis and W. C. Fownes, Jr., in this
year's midwinter tournament, and a gal
lery of several hundred people followed
it from start to finish.
Dr. llarban was two down at the end
of the morning round, but he had evened
matters on the twenty-fourth hole, gain
ing a lead of one up on the thirty-second,
which he maintained to the end, the last
four holes being halved, and all but the
thirty-third being made in bogey.

HISS MARY DUTTON WINS
Match With Mrs. Paterson Brilliant
Feature Women's Championship.

1 th
HE Women's event in
e Championship
tournament was the most
brilliant and hotly con
tested event in the his
tory of the tournaments,
Miss Mary Houghton
Dutton of the Oakley
Country Club, Water-
town, Mass., winning the final round
from Mrs. James Ford Bell of the Mine
kahda Golf Club, Minneapolis, by a score
of 4 up and 3 to play.
The feature of the tournament, how
ever, was Miss Dutton's defeat in the first
round, of Mrs. M. D. Paterson of the
Englewood Golf Club, New Jersey, who
has held the championship against all
comers for several years past, holds the
women's record for the course, and gen
erally regarded as a winner, by a single
stroke on the home green. From start
to finish the contest was of absorbing in
terest, a stroke for stroke competition
the like of which has never been seen
here in a similar contest, and which was
uncertain in its outcome until the end.
Miss Dutton was three down at the fifth
hole, but stood at the turn only one hole
to the bad. On the twelfth she had evened
matters, and on the twelfth gained a lead.
The thirteenth was halved, Mrs. Paterson
took the fourteenth, Miss Dutton the fif
teenth, Mrs. Paterson the long sixteenth,
and with the score even up and two to
go, and Mrs. Paterson having the honor,
the players faced the short seventeenth
green.
Mrs. Paterson made a beautiful shot
which overran the green, and Miss Dut
ton placed her ball for a possible two and
what seemed a "sure" three. Mrs. Pat
erson made an excellent approach, Miss
Dutton played two and missed, and Mrs.
Paterson followed suit on the odd. Miss
Dutton then missed for a win halving in
four.
Mrs. Paterson pulled her drive into the
rough on the eighteenth, while Miss Dut
ton sent a beauty straight down the
course. Mrs. Paterson's second put her
upon the edge of the course and Miss
Dutton played short and on her third
just cleared the pit on her fourth. Mrs.
