day, James A. Tying, the club champion. was
beaten by A. VI. Robbins OF st. Andrew 8. Out
only by the narrow margin OF ono hole. IL was

competition on tho Morris County links, aside
from handlcaps. 1t was an unexpected
ending to the three days Of play. for
Robbins had never won a cup in an
open tournament in the Metropolitan Golf AS
ISOLATION. On the other hand, Tying had carried
off the chief prize in four OF tho six tournaments
in which he has play ed this season, namely, at
Lakewood. Mcadowbrook, Scabright and Shin
necock Hills. The Consolation Cup was won by
Alexander Morten of tho Ardsloy club, VINO had

The morning. when tho semi-flnals were
played. was clear and cold. In this round Tying
wns pitted against Jasper Lynch of Lakewood
who for the greater part Of the match seemed
to be the winner. He was 2 up at tho sixth.
Tying made a mistake in approaching the fifth
hole. which sent his ball into the sand
ditch before the green, and no also drove
into the trees from the sixth tee. Tying
won the seventh hole, where Lynch
was short on his iron shot from n cuppy
lie. Tho eighth was halvcd, after Lynch's fine
drive had been stopped by n hickory tree that
stands in the line of play. a most unfair hazard.
Playing the ninth hole. Lynch pulled his iron
shot into some rocks off tho course and gave
the hole up. This made the two all even again.
Starting for the tenth hole OF $50 yards, Tying
made one of the longest drives ever seen on the
course, and q phenomenal brasscy shot carried
his ball over the putting green and into the trap
bunker on the far side. This mishap cost Tying
the hole. lie played a better long game
than Lynch on tho two following holes,
and M won ron both, and ID as Lynch drove in nG
had to play back. Tying was soon . up. They
halved the fourteenth in g.. Playing for the
two feet Of the hole. Lynch also made the
green and was down in 3, and, as Tying missed
his easy put Dy an lnCn, IL was anOtncr DalNeu
hole. The sixteenth was also halvcd. due to
Lynch holing n twcnty.tivc.foot put in grand
style.
Tying started for the seventeenth hole, dormie
two. He scoffed his drive and was bunkered in
the trap Just before the tee. A grand chance
was offered to Lynch. but he topped and sen
his ball into the SAINT obstruction. II
