A. L. WALKER, JR. WINS
MID-WINTER TOURNAMENT
Defeats J. D. Chapman in Final
Round
By Robert E. Harlow
Golfers could not have had better
weather than prevailed for the annual
mid-winter golf tournament. Some of
the days while it was in progress were
as mild and pleasant as fine spring days
in the North. The excellent weather con
ditions put plenty of enthusiasm into the
players and there were many interesting
matches.
A. L. Walker, Jr., of the Kichmond
Country Club, the favorite in the field of
106 starters, was up to expectations and
won the event for the third consecutive
year, taking away as the prize an at
tractive silver tea set. Only once dur
ing the progress of the tournament was
Walker in serious danger of being beaten.
This was in the first round, when he won
by one up from C. F. Watson Jr., after
being three down at one stage of the
journey.
Walker defeated J. D. Chapman of the
Greenwich Country Club in the final round
by a two and one score. While Walker
hit the longest ball off the tees, it was
his accurate putting that won for him.
Walker sank some long putts which were
most effective and halved holes which
appeared to be safely tucked away by the
Greenwich player.
Walker and Chapman halved the first
four holes and Walker won the fifth,
four to five, when Chapman pushed a
short putt off the line to the. cup. They
halved the short sixth hole in five. An
important break came at the long seventh
hole. Chapman sank his ball from off
the green for a four, leaving Walker
with a 15-foot putt for a half. The
Eichmond County player got it. At the
eighth, Walker sank an eight-foot putt
to halve in three. The ninth was halved
in threes, leaving Walker one up at the
turn.
Chapman squared the match at the
tenth when he putt his third dead, and.
Walker's third overran the cup by eight
feet and he missed the putt. Chapman
lost the 11th and 12th holes, being in
traps at the eleventh and topping his
tee shot to the 12th. Chapman got one
of the holes back at the 13th when Walker
took three putts, but Walker became two
up again at the 14th, where he hit two
fine shots just beyond the green and got
a par four to Chapman 's five. The
Greenwich player was short in three.
The 15th was halved in three and
Chapman won the 16th Avith a par four,

George T. Dunlap, Jr., of Summit, N.
J., who has just celebrated his twelfth
birthday, won double honors in the Boys'
Golf Tournament conducted last week
on the Number 3 course, tying Lawrence
Dow in the medal qualifying round and
winning the final round in the first
division of match play. Young Dunlap
won the play-off of the tie. The tourna
ment was a big success, the boys en
joyed the opportunity for competition
and the event will undoubtedly grow
into a large affair for youngsters and
attract many entries in future events.
George took 52 in the nine-hole quali
fying round, the same number of strokes
as young Dow. In one of his match
play rounds, young Dunlap scored a 46
which was quite the bet round of the
tournament and exceptionally fine juve
nile golf. Forbes Wilson, son of Willie
Wilson, and one of the youngest starters
in the tournament, scored two fives at
the 443-yard eighth hole, which was one
of the outstanding features of the
tournament.
Young Wilson was the winner of the
second flight and Buddy North won the
third division trophy. Buddy's ac
complishment in winning the third divi
sion final was very commendable, as he
did not have his game in good control
for the qualifying round but came back
strong to win from two opponents in the
match play.
In the Girls' section of the tournament
Miss Margaret Fuller won the qualify
ing round very comfortably with a
score 66 for the 9 holes, but succumbed
to Miss Algene Edson in the final round
of match play.
