Turner Southern Pines, North Carolina THE FIREWORKS CAME EARLY Climax of Annual St. Yalentlne's Golf Tournament in Opening Play IB. Warren Corhran Wins Medal and .Tlatch Honors from JP. W. Whltte more and O. II. Crocker MOST OF the fireworks came early in the ninth annual St. Valentine's golf tournament, start ing with Tuesday's qual ification tie between B. Warren Corkran of Bal timore and Parker W. Whittemore of Brook- line and culminating in Wednesday's first round of match play. HeadiDg the bracket was an eight and seven win by Corkran from G. H. Williams of Ilacken- sack, in striking contrast with the fast play of the day, but it was, nevertheless, a feature of the week, for the Baltimore player's card was seventy-two witn a pair of fives for the last two holes which should have easily been reduced to a three and a four for a sixty-nine. If The card : Out 6 In-3 3-36 5 36 1 In the lower half of the division Crocker won the keenest match of the day, two up and one to play, from Robert Hunter of Wee Burn. Rounding the turn in thirty-nine, the Brookline player was four up, but he lost the tenth in halve in 4 through a stymie, after brilliant recovery from a tee shot to the rough. The eleventh was a halve and and a perfect drive for Hunter and a poon one for Crocker, gave the twelfth to the Wee Burn player, 56, who also won the thirteenth, 45, and the fourteenth in 4 through the assistance of a stymie. Hunter recovered from a topped drive on the fifteenth and halved the hole in with Crocker whose second was just across the green. Hunter's drive made the pond on the sixteenth and his second was in the woods at which point he con ceded the hole to Crocker who made perfect 4, gaining a lead of two up which ne maintained witn a naive in a par a on the short seventeenth. utner keen matcnes or tne opening day's match play included a nineteen hole win by E. A. Johnston of Baltimore from J. W. Escher of Englewood. All square at the turn, Mr. Escher won the tenth, halved the eleventh, lost the twelfth and thirteenth, won the four teenth, lost the fifteenth, won the six teenth, captured the short seventeenth, 24, lost the eighteenth, 56, and went down on the nineteenth, 4 5, after land mg m two bunkers on the way to the green and approaching dead to the hole f In the bracket below, Henry C. Fownes of Oakmont won by two up from E. A Randall of Portland. Four down at the turn, the Portland player rallied, reducing the score to one down on the sixteenth halving the seventeenth and losing the eighteenth, t J. G. Nicholson of New Bedford and W. E. Truesdell of Fox Hills fought it out to the home green where the New Bedford player won. Truesdell won the tenth to even the score, but Nicholson took the eleventh in 5 and lost the twelfth in the same figure. A pair of 5's captured the thirteenth and four teenth. A 3 for Truesdell was good enough to nail the fifteenth, but the best he could do on the sixteenth was a halve in 5, and likewise on the seventeenth and eighteenth the Fox Hills player divided honors in halves at 3 and 5. Corkran's second round win was one up in a close match with Johnston who found his club mate a bit oft and turned home one up increasing the lead to two up on the thirteenth. Corkran, however, rallied on the fourteenth which he cap tured in 3, halved the fifteenth in 4, won the sixteenth in the same figure, halved the seventeenth in another 4, and won the eighteenth and the match, 45. In the semi-final Corkran disposed of Wil liam A. Smith, Jr., of the Kent Club, Grand Rapids, by 5 and 4, who had advanced on a one up win from Henry C. Fownes of Oakmont. Mr. Crocker's sec ond round was5 a 4 and 3 victory over W. P. Cleveland of St. Davids, but he found C. L. Becker of Woodland a tena cious opponent in the semi-final. Turn ing home in forty Mr. Becker was one up and he halved the tenth in 4. Mr. Becker, however, won the eleventh, 5 6r lost the twelfth, 5 6, won the thirteenth, 45, lost 'the fourteenth, 45, halved the fifteenth in 3, the sixteenth in 5, the seventeenth in 3, and lost the match, 4 6, and 2 down on the eighteenth. In the first division consolation Hunter defeated Escher by seven and five. C. J. Spencer of Baltusrol and II. C. Biidgcra of Tarboro were the semi- finalists.
