Victory for Wee Barn Golfer
J. A. Allen Consolation Star, Scoring1
Two H ineteen-IIole Victories and
Six and Five Waterloo
QUALIFYING in
eighty-five each, Hunter
of Wee Burn and Becker
of Woodland advanced
easily to the match play
final for the President's
Trophy in the eleventh
annual ' autumn golf
tourney. The score was
four and two and Hunter the winner, but
the match was one much keener than the
figures indicate. If On the outward jour
ney the Woodland veteran had a hit the
best of it, winning the first, third, fifth
(by aid of a stymie) and ninth holes,
losing the fourth, sixth and seventh and
halving the remainder, making the turn
one up. The Wee Burn golfer, howyever,
rallied for wins on the tenth and eleventh,
maintaining the lead thus gained with
halves on the next two and taking the
match with wins on the fourteenth, fif
teenth and sixteenth ; Becker 's short work
his undoing. If The cards:
Hunter Out 54647345 644

In the semi-final Hunter recorded four
and three in his match with Beekman of
Meta comet; in the second round, six and
five over Rhea of Columbia; and in the
first, five and four with Hennessee of
Cooperstown. 1f Becker 's wins were from
LeRoy, by four and three; Moran of
Metacomet, by the same score ; and Good
all of Bellerive, by six and five.
'Twas the consolation where the battle
royal raged, Allen of Baltusrol the victor
with a six and five Waterloo over Kelley
of Southern Pines; the two preliminary
matches won from the Rev. Cheatham of
Salisbury, and Hudson of North Fork on
the nineteenth green.
Mr. Cheatham was two up on the tenth
and honors were divided on the next two
holes, the next three halved, the Salisbury
player winning the sixteenth, losing the
seventeenth to a three, halving the eigh
teenth in six, and losing the nineteenth
four five, through putting. If In the
match with Hudson, Allen was one hole
to the bad at the turn, but he squared
the match on the eleventh, halved the next
seven holes and won the match ok the i
nineteenth where Hudson failed to run
down a short putt which a fine recovery
from a trap had made possible for a
halve. If Going out Allen laid his oppo
nent four dead stymies, and his win on
the eleventh, which squared the match,
was a two.
Langenberg of St. Louis dropped Mr.
Cheatham into the consolation with a
nineteen hole win, and Hudson was in
debted to Moran of Metacomet for his
place in the beaten eight.

GARLICK AND SHANNON IN SECOND
Garlick of Youngstown captured the
second division trophy by three and two
from Hunt of Worcester; his keenest
match with Brown of Huntingdon Val
ley and his best card forty-three out and
thirty-seven in. If Shannon of Oak Hill
took the consolation in brisk play with
Parson of Youngstown, both advancing
" under fire."
Garlick and Hunt made the turn all
even in forty-three, with three wins each
and three halves. Hunt was in the lead

match on the twelfth, halved the thir

would otherwise have been a win or a
halve.

If This king of game birds is, indeed, the
ideal of the quail hunter and anticipation
makes the pleasure of pursuit fully as
enjoyable as possession.
David Gregg, Jr., of Brooklyn, is the
lucky hunter. Has made some fine bags
of quail, but they're not in the reckoning
when ' ' the big 'un he lost ' ' is considered.

the right barrel, drew a bead on the

here with average bags of twenty quail,
and an occasional wookcock, dove, squirrel
and rabbit. If " Best place I know any
thing about," was Mr. Royall 's com
ment, "More territory, easy of access,
fine dogs, good guides, plenty of birds,
excellent cover and best of all, home

knows how to grill 'em to a crisp brown. ' '
R. E. Townsend and Harry Cotton of
Boston, H. H. Stambaugh and John
