Horstmann volunteered to caddy for Dr:
Gray while Mr. Louis Weaver performed
fine same Office for DR. Harlan. The gallery
that watched the match from beginning 10
end was one of the largest that mas ever
tramped over the beautiful course ana the
NAV of both men was watched with un-
usual interest. Mr.. Horstmann coached Dr.
GRAY in splendid style and his victory was
in no small degree responsible for the au-
vice given at different critical points OF the
contest.
DIR. GRAY got a splendid start in the be-
ginning of the match, winning the first
hole while the following two were halVed.
On the fourth hole, DR.. Harlan sliced the
hail a little. but splendid recovery
abled him to make another half. On the
fifth DR. Gray pulled his ball over into the
trees at the right of the course. but man
aged to make good recovery. DR.. Harlan
went good all the way and won the hole,
making the match all even.
On the sixth hole Dr. Gray shot to the
front once more, the result of great APP
proach shot, and the seventh hole was
halved On the long eighth hole DR.. Gray
| went into the bunker with his drive and
Dr. Harlan won it on steady play, again
making the match all even.
The 9th 10th and 18th holes were halved,
but on the 18th DR.. Harlan assumed the
leadership. only to lose it again on the
18th, when DIR. Gray won out by steady
play The 14th hole was halyed and DR..
Gray became the leader, as he captured the
10Th hole through good play. On the 18th
hole Dr. Harlan again aroused the en-
thusiasm of his friends by going steady
all the way and capturing the hole, making
it all even again On the 18th hole DIR.
Harlan trimmed the hole and it was halved
and it was then down to the home hole for
| the finish. DR.. Harlan got a splendid drive,
while DR.. Gray went into the woods, but
fortunately the ball found a resting place
that almost as good as in the open, as
there was nothing to obstruct his approach
The luck of this shot doubtless nettled DIR.
Harlan for a few seconds, as he had been
unfortunate in thinning cups on six holes,
and his putting was short, the result being
that Gray went out in 3, while Harlan took
4. DIR. Gray was heartily congratulated by
his opponent at the finish, while the gallery
showed considerable enthusiasm over the
result.
