DECEMBER SS4, 1919. PAGE SEVEN^ GATES TRIUMPHS IN AUTUMN TOURNAMENT Wins President’s Trophy, Defeat ing R. C. Shannon, 2nd, in Final Round, 4 and 3. The Fifteenth Annual Autumn Tourna- iiieiit again demonstrated that the chance of the medalist to run away with the final honors is not much better than that of the man Avho just barely squeezes into the first division. It is, in fact, quite futile attempt to make any predictions on a matter where so many uncertainties can creep in as are possible in pounding a liniinutive rubber ball some 6,000 yards over hill and hollow. Of course, chances !ire in favor of the favorite. So far, however, this season the favorite has fig ured among those who also ran. There Avere three sixteens and a spec ial eight lined up for match play. The first sixteen in the Qualifying Bound liaiuled in the following cards: Dr. C. H. Gardner 41 44 85 J. R. Bowker 42 46 88 C n. Banes 42 44 88 Donald Parson 42 46 88 Itichard Garlick 45 44 89 H. G. Phillips 46 44 90 Burton Preston 44 46 90 T. A. Kelley 45 45 90 (\ K. Becker 44 46 90 T. S. Danforth 43 48 91 Dr. J. S. Brown 40 51 91 G. T. Dunlap 41 50 91 T. S. Fuller 45 47 92 F. H. Gates 45 48 93 E. R. Sharmon 47 47 94 R. C. Shannon, 2nd 48 46 94 In the first round of match play Dr. H. Gardner was completely baffled by Howard Phillips, of Moore County, los ing by 4 and 3. This was the first .sur]>rise for the wise ones. The second was the elimination of Donald Parson, of Youngstown, 2 down by Richard Gar- Vick, also a member of the Youngstown ooiitingont. C. L. Becker, Ekwanok, fur- MiMliud the second hole in one this sea- 1SOI1. Il€ took this desperately sensational moans of defeating R. R. Sharmon of V'oungstoAvii at the 165-yd. 14th and final hole of the contest, and Sharmon could not duplicate this feat and halve the liole. The most interesting match in the first sixteen was supplied by T. S. Fuller of Ardsl'ey and C. H. Banes of Philadelphia. Fuller went out in 39, including a fine 2 on the eighth, and was 1 up at the turn but finally bowed to Banes at the 19th where his opponent sank a long putt for a birdie four. In the second round Phillips, again triumphant, came home at the expense of •Took Bowker, one up. As he usually comes thru in some Southern event be fore the season is over, it is assumed Jock has not yet struck his winter gait. All matches on the first division were bitterly contested and the fate of at least three was decided by long puts at the eighteenth. Shannon and Richard Garlick staged a particularly harrowing affair which Shannon ended at the 19th, (rarlick having one time been three down. The defeat of Banes by Gates, 1 up, left Phillips and Gates, Carolixia, Champions, scheduled to battle in the «emi-finals. A stymie on the home green gave Dr. Brown of Montclair likewise a place in the semi-finals. In these semi-finals it appeared, by rea son of the casual fashion in which he disposed of the Doctor, that Shannon was bent on winning two tournaments in suc cession. After Gates and Howard Phil lips had settled their argument decisively in favor of Gates, Shannon, next morn ing, faced the Moore v^ounty Star and knew that if he proposed to halt the winning pace which Gates had displayed it would be necessary to play the best golf that he had to offer. It was a rainy morning; they paddled over 9 holes on even terms and then Gates got mad, took a string of holes in succession, and finished four up at the 15th. The President’s Trophy awaited him at the Club House. SUMMARY We submit for our readers a new method of summarizing the Pinehurst Golf Tournament. All tabulations are baneful, but this one has at least the merit of enabling you to find among hundreds -of players those who interest you and avoids the possibility of paraly sis of the eye, from looking up and down column after column of scores which all look alike.
