TREvOR-THE SCORES
The second day Of the st. Andrews open golf tour
nament nj Yonkers found al the games well under
way. The weather more favorable to good play
than on the preceding day. 1t considerably
warmer and nearly windy. Part Of the first
round remained to be finished the second was COM
ple,ed. and the third begun.
by far the most interesting match Of the morning
play was that between W. II. Sands and Quincy A..
Shaw. 1t was remarkable for the unusually fine
work done by Shaw in the first half and the p!ucky
way in which Sands pulled out the match. after his
opponent had led him five up at the sinth hole.
Both men drove powerfully all through. and their
abilities in this direction seemed nearly equal. Tne
only exception came in the first round, where SANDS
topped his ball two three times. thereby losing
the seventh. eighth and ninth holes. Shaw made the
first nine in 40 thus tying the best previous anna
tours record the one made recently by B. ;. De
Garmendia. In this half Shaw gave exhibition Of
brilliant golf playing has ever been seen from
amateur the ST Andrews links. but he was
not able to continue this long enough TO win the
match. Sands who Is nothing II not steady ana
full OF determination. started in at once by taking
the tenth and eleventh. having tn twelfth. ami
then winning the next three. thereby tying the
score. The sixteenth halved. and then each
man got another. thus making all even at the end
Of eighteen holes. The excitement OF players and
spectators was sill! further increased when the
nineteenth mole hdlVed, hut the twentieth going
TO SANDS. decided the contest in his favor.
In the afternoon Sands again. in company with
II. G. Trevor furnished the most exciting match OF
the second round. The advantage usually with
Sands. but his opponent held him down well, ana
made Good fight. Sands's drives long and
we-lirected. those for the thirteenth and four
teentn hOes beiny particularly tne. Both men made
several good approaches. ana did some clever work
win the brassics and irons. AT the fifteenth hole
the "tOrmis. sands being up win %
pay. Trevor. by taking the next, kept his chances
OF tying the score SUI. open. but by weak drives
lost the hole. and consequently the match. 10
