| Dickinson Goes Down.
| By far the greatest match of yester-
| day, outside Of the nip and tuck race
| IN lneE morning between Sheehan and
Mckee, was the battle between Dwight
| Baker and Warren Dickinson in the
afternoon. The veteran Hyperion star
had the local light bested at the end
OF the first nine holes, being 2 up, and
for a while the legion of admirers Of
Baker were uneasy about his chances
or being In today's play. Followed by
an immense gallery, the two warriors
started out on the last leg of the
match at p. M, and at the very out
set Baker began to show his true
form. The first two holes Of the sec,
ond were negotiated In each, and
this exceptionally clever golfing put
both men even. Holes No. IL and 13
were halved, but on a Baker went 1
up. This lead was held until the
seventeenth hole, when the Ottumwa
star increased it to 2 up, winning the
match. With Dickinsc up at the
turn brace was demanded Of Baker
and he was equal the emergency
Playing sterling golf, duplicating his
record-brealing feat of last Monday
when he cut five strokes under bogey
the Whirlwind finish made by the To-
cal star delighted the enthusiastic
gallery. The cards Of the players fol

Smith Was Supreme.
Roy G. Smith, runner-up in the 1905
tournament OF the association, had {
comparatively easy time in his mattel
with Hardy Friend, the Marshalltowr
crack, winning up and 3. Smiths in
activity In the morning when he wor
by default from G. HI. E. Bordman, alst
:, of Marshalltown, resulted in his enter
ing the afternoon competition fresl
and in excellent spirits. Smiths pla,
in the battle was really the first O
any moment shown at the tournamen
by him, and his drives were terrif,
and his approaches accurate More
than all this, his puts were fawles
ana daring, time and again he havin,
successfully run down with an eas
that astonished the gallery of ad
mirers who followed. Friend put up
good battle, but the superiority of hi
Ottumwa opponent fairly swept hin
off his feet
