Neither had much difficulty today in
eliminating their opponents in the SEMI
final round. l.egg led +. II. Gaines OF
Omaha from the second hole OF the
morning, round and finished an easy vic
tory OF II up, Sheehan disposed Of Law
renee Bromfield of the Denver Country
club up and 4 to play. The first part
hard fought. but the Denver youngster
weakened at the finish and his oppo-
ncnts greater experience in tournament
play counted heavily on the last round
Legg showed the best form today he
has displayed this week, His long game
left little to be desired and the deadly
accuracy of his work on the greens gave
Gaines no opportunity to take advan
tage of mistakes
Gaines was none too certain OF direc-
tion and began to press badly in the last
dency TO over-approach and his poor put
ting cost him several chances TO win
holes and he was only able to halve.
Gaines won but one hole from Legg in
the whole days play. He took the Sec
ond hole of the morning round.
Starting the last round up, Legg
lost no time in completing the match.
Quantities OF Scotch dialect were
spread over the course today while the

w. f. Scheu, president of the Per
fected Mantel company, with headquar-
ters in New York and Springfield
Mass.,, a former resident Of Salt Lake
City, who is at the Knutsford for
few days, recently has perfected a pat
ent known as the Scheu IS high low head
light controller, Frank Botterill, in
company with Mr.. Scheu and Tribune
reporter, gave practical demonstra-
tion of the advantages of this device
Friday evening, in a Pierce-Arrow ma.
chine.
The object Of the invention is to have
absolute control OF the headlight from
the dashboard Of any machine. The
light can be made any magnitude, from
q full glaring light to the SIZE Of a pin
point, This adjustment can be operau-
ed at full speed and is claimed to be
a great thing for the prevention of ac.
cldents, since many of the collisions
are caused by the glaring light. With
this attachment, the light may be regu
lated just as it is needed. Another
feature which, although secondary, is
important, is the saving Of gas. The
ordinary Prest- o Lite tanks generally
last about 36 hours, but with this i'm
provement, 1T IS said. they will last not
less than 200 hours.
