out regardless of the weather, 80 yesterdays
steady downpour did not check the sport In the
Knollwood Country Club competition. Tho
drizzle drove the spectators from the links how
ever. but they were content, In most cases, to
catch foetlng glimpses Of the players from the
veranda or windows OF the cosoy club house.
There was no wind to bother the drivers, and the
golnng was up to the sunny-weather standard;
better. In fact, for new records were made, The
only bad effect OF the rain was to make the put
ting greens slow. Every blade Of grass and
clover leaf stifencd up under the welcome
moisture. reinrding the ball In putting and
making the plays for the holes uncertain In re-
suits.
Fem, the Palmetto Club golfer, carried on
the first honors of the day by defeating, In turn,
Livermore and Lynch, two OF the best amateurs
In the North. Toler. the Baltusrol man, made
nearly as fine a showing as Fem, and the meet
Ing OF tho two in the final round this afternoon
promises to be a brilliant match.
The second round started at 10 80 o'clock.
