Returned in the Last Event-Tho Scores.
Lakewood's three-day open tournament on
the Golf Club links ended yesterday with the
finals In the two cup events and special handi-
cap. 1t was one of the best managed affairs
ever held at Lakewood, and, besides the details
OF tho play, the Golf Club made record In Its
hospitable treatment of visitors.
The finals for the most important prize the
Laurel.in-thePines Cup, brought Tying and
Toler together. the sole survivors Of tho forty
six who finished In tho preliminary round on
Thursday. Tying is the Morris county and Toler
the Baltusrol champion. They arc home-bred
golfers, and have for the past year shown the
most consistent form Of any Of the Eastern
amateurs with the possible exception Of Fenn
and w. II. Sands
Tying made only one mistake in the match, at
the thirteenth hole OF 139 yards. He made itin
two the nrst round, driving with an iron. The
wind had increased. 30 he tried q brassoy, but
sclaffed slightly, going to theleft Of the green,
and overplaying the green on his approach.
Toler was dead for three. and Tying lifted. When
ho made this hole In two, Tying drove within six
feet Of It, Toler laying him stimie. Tying made
q curving put, drawing the face Of his club one
Of the bent putting cleeks, well across the ball
and putting to the left 90 that It twisted safely
from the stimio and into the cup. II was
great spectacular stroke.
He was four-up at the eighth hole. and played
the odd for ive on the ninth, which would have
given record Of thirty-seven to him for the
round. 1t was only two-foot put, but Tyng's
ball went past tho hole and foot behind Toler's
bali. Tyng's attempt to loft tho stimle overran.
Toler won tho hole in ave, Tying lifting, but as
he was playing it 10 safe to approximate the hole
for him at seven. making the round thirty -nine.
Tho loss Of tho thirteenth hole left Tying only
two up. A long drive. followed by splendid
brassey shot that cleared the bunker, was the
feature Of Tyng's play for the fourteenth hole.
On this and the fifteenth green Toler putted the
odd from the far edge and was down each time in
ave, leaving Tying six.foot puts TO halvo in each
case. Tyng's nerves were tested. but he made
the strokes needed without o tremor.
Toler made mistakes on tho second hole BY
topping tho drive. at the third by hitting tree
on the drive at tho sixth. where he used brassey
instead Of q cleek on the second shot, and on the
twelfth. whore he failed to chop up the ball with
mashie. Each OF these sent his ball into
bunker, and the four r aukes were Toler's only
errors Of the match Tho cards:
