foursome at the Baltursol Coli Club. He Is
John Park, the Younger brother Of Willie Park.
Jr.. the Scotch champion. and of Mungo Park.
now a resident professional here. John Park is
well under twenty and has but one public nr-
pearance TO his credit on the other side. at CAP
nonste last fall. when he tied for third place In
the score round. at 1875. with Willie Fernie and r.
Simpson, Jr. Harry Vardon was first. with

long after. John Park came to this country and
became the professional at the Essex County
Country Gu at Orange. Until yesterday few
OF the members OF the club employing him
knew what Park could do. but now his prowess
is an open secret and he has been at once ad-
vanced to the place OF first favorite for the
open championship among all the profe ionals
ON links in the M. G.. A. district.
The match yesterday was the first OF two.

| nearly as tall. and he drives fully as long

derson had but one seven on his card.
On several OF the greens Andersons long
puts for ahalf Just failed to be pocketed. while
| Park invariably ran such long chances true to
the hole. Neither OF the amateurs was quite at
the top OF his game. although roler. in setting
out in the afternoon. scored nearly perfect

holes they had lost in the morning. Colby
was decidedly erratic. and. after driving out OF
bounds. he did not play out the last hole.
