Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
LAKEWOOD, N. j., November 2S.-The
storm which threatened late yesterday
afternoon did not put in an appearance this
morning. and the prospects are excellent for
the third and last day of the annual golf
tournament of the New Country Club of
Lakewood.
When the semi finals started this morning
it was sunny and somewhat milder than on
previous days The night was sharp enough.
however. TO keep the course stiff through
out, and it Is frozen sufficiently hard in
spots to be decidedly bunny.
Still, as the amateur record was broken
twice yesterday under no more favorable
conditions there is hope for further devel-
opments today, particularly as there Is little
wind.
The wagering crowd naturally puts Its
trust for first cup winner In Travis. the
most steady and consistent Of golfers.
Douglas usually weakens in playing with
Travis, so Brokaw Of Lakewood. Deal and
Princeton is second choice, particularly as
he has the best knowledge of the local
course and broke the record yesterday
afternoon.

needed s. one over the allowance, on the
fifth to Travis 4. which left the latter
up. Both did tamely on the sixth. which
was halved in 5 against par 4. Both got
the seventh in and the eighth in 5.
