golf tournament culmi
nated in the final round
for the President's or
first division trophy, be
tween Allan E. Lard of the Columbia
Golf Clubr Washington, and J. C. Par
rish, Jr., of the Shinnecoek Hills Club ;
a pretty race , which was won by the
Columbia player, two up and one to
play, on the short seventeenth hole.

the sixth being easy honors, Mr. Lard

by taking the twelfth and thirteenth,
Columbia's representative squaring mat
ters on the fourteenth, the fifteenth
being divided, the winning of the long
sixteenth and the short seventeenth by
the Columbia player, ending the match.
Mr. Lard was playing a brilliant long
game, but Mr. Parrish's accuracy made
him a dangerous opponent, and there
was uncertainty enough to keep the
interest of the big gallery keyed high
and to make speculation run riot.
Mr. Lard's first struggle was with
Wilber C. Johnson of the Canoe Brook
Club, the match being decided on the
twentieth green, this victory bringing
Mr. Lard up against John E. Porter of
the Allegheny Country Club, who had
defeated Roderick L. , Macleay, winner
of the qualification gold medal. The re
sult was the Keenest and fastest match
of the week, an even seventy-one for
both players being the score on the
seventeenth green, with many brilliant
features to make the contest one of
unusual interest. Mr. Porter started
heme two down, Mr. Lard making his
lead three up on the eleventh, Mr. Por
ter reducing it to two again on the fif
teenth, all the rest of the holes, coming
home, being halved. The cards :

VILLAGE WINS FOUR AND TWO
Thursday's Baseball Game Fastest of
Season's Interesting Series. .

HURSDAY afternoon's
ball game between the
Village and Carolina
teams, was without
question, the fastest of
the season, the Village
aggregation winning 4 and 2, in a con
test replete with hard hitting and fast
fielding on both sides. The Village team,
however, outbatted their ... opponents,
landing for three two-baggers one after
the other, in, the sixth inning, which was
a little too fast going for the "hill" ag
gregation. Eastman occupied the box for the Vil
lage and he kept the hits well scattered,
being touched for five singles and a two
bagger. Gleason did the twirling for
the losers, pitching a pretty game, the
ball being found for seven hits only, but
these happened to come well bunched,
causing the loss of the game, for it was,
unquestionably, a pitchers battle from
start to finish., , . ,
Fitzgerald wore the mitt for the win
ning team, and he had a wing like, a
hawk, throwing to bases with ease and
accuracy, making base stealing some
what of an uncertain undertaking, only
one base being gained in this way. De-
Rohn held the home plate down for The
Carolinas,, and worked hard for a win,
but was up against rather hard luck at
times.
The bright and particular fielding star
of the afternoon was Lynch, the Village
shortstop, and Jack Slattery , carried off
the honors for heavy stick work. Nonis'
batting was the feature of The Carolina's
game, as in Tuesday's play and "Cy"
Young amused the crowd by his vain en
deavors to hit the ball ; Gleason striking
him out in three successive appearances'
at the bat.
The Carolinas drew first blood in their
half of the first inning, Smith getting
his base on balls and scoring on Norris'
red hot liner to right. The second run
came in the seventh inning on a single
by Finnegan and a fine two-base drive
to centre by Norris. i
The Village nine evened the score in
the second,, Young getting his base on
balls and making the plate on Morris'
single to deep right. Two more runs
