Play Was Slow.
Notwithstanding the days match play
was started promptly at 10 O'clock there
were SO many tardy ones that 1t was near
ly noon when the last pair went out. I'm
less the players get under way and work
more promptly this afternoon the final
pairs In will have darkness overtake them
before the eighteenth hole is reached.
w. g. Carr and w. j. Pettus of the sec
ond sixteen were the first to open play this
morning. and the former finished the victor
after a most interesting match. A stiff
wind from the northwest came up about
noon and the pairs coming in after that
hour found 1t quite a handicap in the driv-
ing, something the early starters escaped.
Although defeated, Commissioner West
made a game finish Of his match with Mr..
Rankin, the latter having him down at
the turn for home and finishing with only
two holes up.
