was productive of good going. Jerome
Travers. the successful opponent to the
wizard Travis on several occasions, found
himself perfectly at home in the one match
that he was called upon to play.
1t was a hollow victory in the morning
Peters jr., member of the Princeton team
was reckoned as being worthy of his mettle
While Peters was playing his game there
was no comparison to be offered to the
display Of the metropolitan crack, and
scoring even tours for twelve holes after
an out-journey Of thirty-eight, he was the
winner in one-sided fashion. AS an oppo-
nent today Travers will have A. W. Till
inghast, the runner-up of the recent indi-
vidual championship contest.
H P. Smith of the home club held his
own in perfect manner on the other end of
the bracket. His strongest opponent of the
day was W. T. West, the Philadelphia
Country Club player of national impor-
lance. With Smith winning the first three
holes there was nothing to 1t for the young
ster, and try as he would he could never
overcome the lead.
J. S. Mather of the home club was really
responsible for the best completed card of
the day and this was in his match against
]. CT Baker. a fellow-club member. With
a seventy-seven. of course 1t was Mather's
game. and in his subsequent meeting with
w. Frazier Harrison. who had only won
out from F. o. Horstnan after the hardest
kind of a struggle, 1t was his victory in
unexpected style.
