' HE most dangerous man now in

he HuObI ~OdHSeIOuS man nov -
the Greater New York cham
pionship tournament is William
Wallace, unattached, who holds n leg
on the chief trophy, which he won In
1908, prior to which time 1t was a per-
petual trophy. The deed of gift was
changed when the trophy was turned
over to the New York Golf Club, SC
that the second win makes 1t the per
sonal property of the winner.
About the only ray Of hope the anna
teurs now have of the cup remaining
in competition for at least another
year is the possibility of the boy Syl-
vester meeting and defeating Wallace
in the final round this afternoon.
Wallace played two most excellent
matches yesterday and was successful
in both. In the second round played
In the morning he had DR.. E. M. Men
del, of the New York Golf Club, as an
opponent, and the doctor, as was ex-
pected, gave him a very good fight,
although Wallace clearly showed his
superiority by playing the course In
par. After halving the first hole in
par, Wallace took the lead at the sec
ond hole with a perfect par 4. The
next two holes were halved in par and
Wallace increased his lead to 2 up with
a faultless par 4 on the fifth hole. The
sixth was halved in par and Wallace
added another hole to his credit with a
par 8 on the seventh. Mendel beat
par on the eighth and won the hole
In 8 to a par 4 by Wallace. The COM
pliment was returned on the ninth, the
hole being won by Wallace in one
stroke under par, who went out In 30
to his opponents 80, and led by 3 up
at the turn.
The members of the New York Club
had pinned their faith OF Mendel,
whom they thought would win with
ease, but Wallace was playing entirely
too steady a game for him and was
making no mistakes whatever. Wal
lace won the tenth in par, increasing
his lead to 4 up but 1t was only for a
moment, as Mendel made the eleventh
hole of 814 yards In 8, Wallace holing
out In the par of 4. Wallace, however,
won the twelfth and thirteenth holes
In par, which increased his lead to
s up, and as the fourteenth hole was
halved In the par of s, Wallace won the
match by s up and 4 to play. The bye
holes were played out for the score,
Wallace doing the round in rs to his
opponents 50. Their cards were:

Afternoon Match.
In the afternoon Wallace had J.. Nor
rison, unattached, as an opponent, and
for the greater portion Of the match it
looked as though Morrison stood a
good chance tt win. In fact, at the
conclusion of the first six hill holes
Morrison led by 2 up, winning the
third and fourth holes and halving the
other four. Wallace, however, was at
his best on the meadow holes, and he
won the seventh and eighth and was all
square at the turn. Morrison won the
tenth in one stroke under par, but the
match was again on even terms at the
twelfth, which Wallace won in par, as
was the Ease at the thirteenth, which
gave him the lead by 1 up for the first
time during the match. A remarkably
clever Q on the fifteenth hole to his OPP
ponent's par 8 gave Wallace this lead
by 2 up.
This was cut to 1 up on the sixteenth,
which Morrison won in par. 1t was all
over, however, at the 53S yards seven
teenth, when Wallace won 1t in par
and the match by 2 up and 1 to play.
