Fred Herreshoff the interscholastic golf cham
pion. won additional honors yesterday when he
defeated H. NJ. Forrest, Of Philadelphia, by %
up and to play in the final round of the open
tournament on the links of the Country Club OF
Lakewood This makes the Garden City ANA
teur a double winner. as earlier in the week ne
won the low score prize in the qualifying round
Forrest also did well. In addition to the
runner-up cup he also received prize for the
best gross in the handicap. His card read 81
&c This was low net as we'll, but not caring
TO take both prizes the Philadelphia contented
himself with the gross, which left the net prize
for w. b. Potts. Of Seabright, whose card read
S9-12-I7
When the survivors gathered for the semi-final
round in the morning it was generally conceded
that Herreshof would win from Charles l.. Tap
pin. of Westbrook, but the gallery appeared
divided as to the FOrrest-Taintor match. The
latter has been playing we'll of late, thanks to
several weeks on Southern courses. In Forrest,
however. he found opponent who not only
kept on the flag but was giving nothing away
on the greens. The result was that after the
first few holes the Philadelphia always had the
advantage and finally won by up and 2 10
play.
In the other half OF the semi-hnal Herreshoft
was having none too comfortable time with
Tappin. The former carelessly made a practice
swing in hazard at one of the water holes. and
this cost him hole which would otherwise have
been halved. The match ended on the seven
teenth green. where Herreshoff laid the veteran
a stymie which Tappin failed TO negotiate.
Forests friends had It figured out that their
man because of his deadly short game would at
least worry the Pinehurst and Hot Springs hero.
of the tee Herreshon generally Outdrove his
man from thirty to fifty yards That in itself
to the others discontinue HerreshOfe after
the first two holes also did the better work on
the greens.
The Garden City man. despite two or three
mistakes. went out in 43. which enabled him to
turn for home 3 up. He made 3s at both the
short holes. one OF which he won. thanks to
another spell Of weak putting by the Philadel-
phian. heavy lie practically cost Herreshoff
the next hole. Forrest getting a 4. The latter
at the thirteenth after the Garden City man
missed his put for 3. They divided the four
teenth In 3, good work, as neither man got home
on his drive. The match ended at the next
hole where Herreshoff drove within twenty feet
OF the pin and barely missed getting :. The
hole is pa yards.
