The show was particularly notable for its entry of sporting dogs.

After tying Perry Adair in the quali fying round of the North and South amateur championship, B. P. Merriman of the Waterbury Country Club, worked his way through to the thirty-six hole final round where he met and defeated Gardiner White of Nassau, by the juicy margin of 9 up and 8 to play, in one of the most remarkable final rounds ever re corded at Pinehurst. r White was the favored one to win the title, but after playing exceptionally good golf throughout the match-play rounds he seemed to go to pieces in the final and never had a chance after the first four holes were played. Merriman won the fifth and was never headed. -White did not win a hole in the 18-hole morning round and started the afternoon match 8 down. The first four holes of their match did not give the slightest inkling of the run away that it was to develop into. Rather, there was every reason to expect that they would have a nip-and-tuck battle all the way, which was the reasonable ex pectation after the good golf each had displayed in the matches leading up to the final. Stroke for stroke they went in the first four holes of the day, the only error to that stage being Merriman 's wide drive at the second and White's topped second, in consequence of which they halved the hole in 5 instead of a par 4. When it came to the fourth they thrilled the gallery and built up hopes of sensational play for the rest of the way, for White sank a putt for a birdie 3 from off the green and Merriman dupli cated on a putt only a few feet shorter. But at the fifth White began to waver, especially in his driving, sending a ball into the trees from the tee, a habit which stayed with him more or less all through the remainder of the match. He lost this hole then dropped another by driv ing into the woods at the seventh. A pe culiar circumstance cropped up here. White could not find his ball and wont back to the tee to drive another. When someone announced that the ball had been located, he went back, played the found ball up to the green and then dis covered that it was not his. Merriman went down in 5 and took the hole. Another disappointment awaited White at the short eighth, where he drove to the green, with Merriman in the rough to the left. Merriman made a splendid recov ery on his second and sank a 25-foot putt for 3, while White took 3 putts and lost a hole that looked certain to be his. Open (Continyed on Page Six)
