If expressions OF opinion from the gaHs-,
and the players themselves. for that maj.
ter, can be taken as an indication. the con-
binatfOn OF medal and match play wlH ..
continued next year Throughout the tzs
days the keenest kind of interest was dis
played. and already the association has
practically received two offers for nsIr
year
So far as yesterdays competitive gof n
concerned incidents followed rapidly. Thsrs
was something of surprise when Maiden
eliminated Jack Hobens. OF Engiewood. IN
the serni-fnal round In this match Hobens
found It irnDossibIe to maintain MS diree-
tion. and his putting also was extremely
unIuckY. as there were times when his bal
hung on the lip OF the cup On the other
hand Maiden played sound golf. and, e.
cept for a brief period in the early stages
OF the match. the Nassau man always
looked like winner He was generally On
the line. and when IT came 70 putting never
lost an opportunity Maiden turned FOR
home. ? up, and finally won BY a and I
margin
In the mean time Tom Anderson ars
Dave Hunter. OF the Essex County Coua-
try Club, were having an up and down
match Anderson began BY losing the AFsC
two holes, but thereafter settled down. and
by going out in 80 turned for home ! u.
The pair found themselves all square going
TO the home hole, and the match would
probably have ended then and there IL
Anderson had not made renarkahle re-
covery with hts mashie- As il vas, taey
haIved the hole The extra hole saw both
men in trouble In fact, il was coledy
OF errors, Anderson finally winning Win
q g. Both he and Hunter got around N p
for the eighteen holes
Because OF his steady golf in previous
rounds. Maiden was generally regarded as
a likely winner over Tom Anderson II ths
decisive match. The Nassau man co.,
tinued his wellnigh fawIess solr. and a.
though he was not so long or the tee a
his opponent, easily discounted the others
