VANDERPOOL DEFEATS JAMES.
Amateur Champion of the United
States Laid Low by the Morris
County Golfer.

Saturday afternoon, when dark
clouds hung SO low they almost
seemed to rest upon the bunkers, the
golfers from "Old Nassau defeated
the Morris County team in their an
nual match over the local course. W.
D. Vanderpool proved the bright and
shining star of the day, when he de-
feated Louis N. James of Chicago,
WI holds the title of amateur golf
champion of the United States.
james attributes his defeat to the
fact that he has not practiced for
weeks, and also did not have his own
clubs to play with. He seemed to
take the matter lightly, and heartily
congratulated Mr.. Vanderpool upon
his success.
