Garden City, N. Yo,sept. 1s--Golk extraordinary which featured to-day's play on the. Garden City, club, links made 1t certain that this years an. nual amateur championship tourna- ment of the United States Golf asso- citation will be we'll remembered by players and spectators alike, for furn- ishing two sensational finishes in the second round of S6-hole match. one going to the. decidedly unusual num- Der of 4l holes and the other to 40.
 There we're sixteen players left in / the struggle when play was resumed on the local links this morning Nine of them were young golfers, while the other seven included the present champion, Jerome D. Travers of .Montclair. N J., and two former champions, Walter J. Travis of the| home club and Eben M. Byers of Pittsburg.
 Without going any further these three with Fl. II. Wilder, a youngI and more than promising player from Lowell, Mass, have to be accreditedI with wonderful efforts in playing theI game for more than the allotted S6-| holes at match play. In the morningI round Travis. the veteran, was fourI down to Wilder. but in the afternoen| all-square on the home hole and by| steady work. but not without an ex-| treme effort, outplayed the young as-| pirant with a win at the fist hole.
 Eben Byers of Pittsburg. who won| the national title two years ago, wasI down at the end of the first half oe| the match to John NJ. Ward once of| baseball fame. It was a hard fight be- tween these two in the afternoon for| after squaring the match on the home| hole they had to play four more, each thrice holing But in fours. Byers took the fourth six to five winning the| match and the right to play Fred Herreschor In the third round to- morrow.
 Travers. the title holder. won handi- ly from Kenneth Edwards of Chica- go. who Is one of the most forceful golfers seen here this week Travers had the better of the match all tho way, but the western boy was always ready to play to the limit. 'ii Another young player, Thomas B. Clahin, of Weston, Mass, scored win to-day beating Archie M. Reid, of St. Andrews. by 9 up and 8 to play. Clahin has got to be taken into consid- eration by every aspirant for the ra- tional title.
