four, par five for the long fifth and bogey
tor the five hundred and thirty-seven
vard seventh, and still he lost all five and
was that many down at the turn. Carter
saw the need, the talisman was on the
job. He made these five critical holes
two under par.
The utmost credit is due to Dyer for
his steady and consistent effort to re
trieve his fortunes thus so suddenly re
versed. There were nine holes more to
uo. And on not one of them did he
make above par. And in spite of that
lie lost the thirteenth, found himself
Dormie on the fourteenth, and Carter's
drive waiting for him on the green on
the fifteenth. So the Gorham silver serv
ice was credited to Philip V. G. Carter,
unbeaten and unbeatable, five up and
three to play, although Dyer played a
1 letter game than any other seen up to
that time in this hard fought tournament.

A best ball of 65 on each round.
So strong was the field in the first
division that in no case did the winner
have his match safe until he had reached
the home green except in the first round
against Donald Parson of Youngstown.
Parson was defeated, 4 and 2, which
shows a very radical improvement in his
f oim and standing, considering that this
game was against the best player that we
have ever seen on these links. Ned Beall
of Uniontown lost one up against Carter
in the second round, after to all appear
ances having been all the way within an
ace of taking off the match. His most
egregious error was on the fifteenth hole.
He drove onto the green within fifteen
feet of the hole, and to his own and the
popular amazement took three putts to
make it, thereby putting himself down
in the match. As it was, however, he
made the eighteen holes in seventy-six,
which shows him to be in the champion
ship class.
Early in the game Dyer showed his
capacity by disposing of C. E. Van Vleck,
a very strong player from Baltusrol, 4
and 3; Jesse Guilford, 3 and 1, and W.
M. Paul by a magical putt on the eigh
teenth green, 1 up. The story of these
remarkable matches in detail will be
found elsewhere in the paper.
C. L. Becker of Woodland, the leader
of golf in the village and one of our
most consistent players by some very
steady and sustained golf, won the con
solation prize in the President's division,
his hardest match being in the semi-finals
against C. J. Bellamy of Springfield, who
tied for second place in the qualification
Cummings in the finals to the tune of
7 and 5.
The Governors' trophy was credited to
J. W. Watson of Merion, who was second
in the qualifying round in this division
with an 85. The high man, H. C. Wel
born of Richmond, went down in the sec
ond round before C. M. Ransom of Buf
falo, 5 and 3, who himself lost to the
final victor in the semi-finals, 6 and 5.
F. W. Hyatt, Jr., of Ridgewood survived
to the finals, where the Merion player
took his number, 4 and 2. Watson's
closest call was with Fred O'Connell of
Alpine who pushed him to the seventeenth
before a decision was reached.
Coming through the field with substan
tial margins to his credit in every case
was II. C. Fownes of Pittsburgh. In the
finals of; the consolation T. II. McGraw,
Jr., of Oakmont succumbed to the Pine
hurst golfer two down.
Wannamoisett, represented by Robert
Wilson of Providence, landed the Secre
tary's trophy. He was matched against
S. A. Hennessee of Cooperstown, a strong
player from Southern Pines who has fig
ured conspicuously in local tournaments
throughout the year and won by the bare
margin of one hole. F. S. Danforth of
North Fork and the Tin Whistle Club
won the consolation prize in this division,
defeating P. S. McDonald of Lambton
in the final round, 3 and .1.
The Treasurer's trophy went to F. E.
Aiken of Dunwodie, who won from Tom
Morrrison of Oakmont, 5 and 4; John
Heydler, the secretary of the National
League, 2 up, J. M. Thompson of Spring
haven by one hole, and R. C. Shannon of
Brockport, 2 and 1. Mrrison is credited
with the consolation.
