Some Interesting Play.

Some Interesting Play.
The play in the sxteens yesterday aft
ernoon was interesting in a number of
instances. f. p. Brooke of Bannockburn
kept up his good work of the morning
when he made the lowest score in the
qualifying round and won from Oden
Horstman, the crack golfer OF the Phlia-
delphia Country Club. The match end ID
with the winner UP. This match was In
the first sixteen.
Brooke won the first hole after Horst
man had missed an easy putt. The sec
ond was halved, and Brooke lost the third.
They halved the fourth. and then Horst
man won two straight holes, making him
two up. They halved the seventh,
Brooke won the eighth and Horstman won
the ninth, making him two UP at the
turn. The tenth was halved, and Brooke
squared matters by winning the eleventh
and twelfth. The thirteenth was halved
and they started the fourteenth on even
terms. Both made long drives. the balls
dropping close together. Horstman. how
ever. topped his second shot. and the
ball fell into rut in the road. Brooke
ball cleared the big pit. and as the Phila-
delphia man failed TO get his ball out of
the sand on his third, he gave up the
hole making Brooke one up.
The short fifteenth was halved in three.
and both were just off the edge of the
sixteenth green on their second shots.
HOrstman approached a little closer, and
after Brooke had missed a four-foot putt
the Chevy Chase man won the hole
with Il :.
All square at the seventeenth tee,
HOrstman pulled his drive slightly. the
ball just landing in the edge of the
rough. Brooke sent a drive straight down
the middle of the course. Horstman drove
we'll out of the grass on his second but
was near the trees. and in attempting to
loft over them on his third. he topped
the ball badly. driving it into the grove.
He appeared to be disconnected as he
attempted this shot by remark made
by spectator some distance away from
him. After a search for the ball, Horst
man surrendered the hole, Brooke having
followed his tee drive by two great iron
shots. Brooke was one up. On the home
hole Brooke drove away well, but Horst
man topped and pulled his drive into the
brush to the left and did not attempt to
play further.
