at Wykagyl.

Favorites won their matches in the first
and second rounds of the invitation golf
| tournament, continued on the links of the
| Wykagyl Country Club yesterday. Gardner
| White, of Oakland. the interseholastic
champion, had two stubborn opponents in
S. D. Bowers. of Brooklawn, whom he beat
| by l up the home green, and Maxwell
| Marston, the Crawford schoolboy. On the
other side of the draw Robert Hunter,
the Yale golfer, whose home is in Chicago,
defeated Alfred Morrell, of Hackensack.
and Captain r. B. Parrott of New Bruins
wick Neither match caused the tall
Westerner any uncomfortable moments.
The other winners were B. T. Allen. of
Fox Hills, and w G. Gillett. of the home
club. In the semi-finaI round this morning
the last named will be opposed to White,
while Allen and Hunter will lock horns on
the other side.
The overnight rain made the course
heavy in spots. and for that reason low
scoring was more difficult than usual, but
even so, the players got around in cred
liable figures In defeating Marston by
up and 2 TO play White went out in 40,
where he stood up. On the homeward
journey the Cutler School representative
always maintained an advantage despite
:he fact that his opponent laid him two
stymes and brought off a long put for a
on the tenth green.
While Hunter failed to score quite we'll
as White, the Yale golfer made few bad
mistakes, and incidentally gave the i'm
preston that he could have done more had
occasion demanded. An amusing incident
happened in the morning, when Hunter and
a second sixteen man thought they recog-
nfzed each other as opponents, and started
off from the first tee. They had played the
first hole before the mistake was noticed.
Unquestionaby the best match of the
early hours had White and Bowers as prin-
cipals. At one stage it looked bad for the
interscholastfc champion, as Bowers by
steady work stood up at the seventh.
Overanxiety to get distance then caused
the Brooklawn man to top his next two
drives-fatal mistakes, considering that the
eighth and ninth holes are both more than
a quarter of a mile in length. White, max
ing no slips, won these holes in par IS,
thereby squaring the match. Both went
out in 41-good work considering the heavy
condition of the turf.
Another poor drive by Bowers at the
tenth cost him that hole, and when he got
into difficulties at the eleventh he lost that
then settled to his work again, and had it
not been for a sensational 3 by White at
the 317-yard fifteenth hole there might have
been a different story to tell. AS it was.
the schoolboy holed a mashie shot Bowers
did manage to get within one of his op-
ponent by winning the sixteenth in 3, but
halves at the next two left White a win
ner by l up.
