 Finals To-day.


 New Haven, July 14.-With every thing favoring good golf the semi-inals in the four cup events in the seventh annual tournament of the Connecticut league were played off here yesterday afternoon. w. K. Shepard of the New Haven Country club. who was picked by many of the golf experts early in the game as of championship caliber, played today to warrant this prophecy and took his match from w. J. Honey man at the fourteenth hole. Earlier in the day he defeated w. Austin, by ] up and to play, when a much closer match was looked for. Shepard play ed both times steady. even game, showing much reserve force. Going out in the afternoon, Shepard ran into his first trouble in the fourth hole when he sliced into a tree, but his fine re- covery gave him the hole in the bogy 4.
 Honeyman made the prettiest put of the match at the sixth hole, when he putted from foot off the green, ,atak- ing the hole in f, to Shepard's ,. At the turn Shepard led his opponent 5 up. On the five holes coming in Shep- ard beat bogy by stroke and went ont in 39.
 In the match between s. !. Graham and k. C. Hovey. which went to the latter on the nineteenth hole. it looked at the turn. when Hovey stood up, as though he was going to take the game easily, although his opponent was re- garded as possible champion. The latter rallied. however. and at the end of the seventeenth Hovey was 1 down and to go. He evened this at the eighteenth and made long drive up the hill. Graham falling far short, Hovey took the hole in 4. In the finals tomorrow the New Haven County club will be represented in three of the cup contests. The summaries:
