only his sixth season with the High

Philadelphia, June 13.-Considering all

out he had a card of Il, but coming in he
secured a 81, which is over par for the
last holes. When it is stated that he
was paired with Walter J. Travis, whose
score was IS. it can be seen that Lyon
played fast golf.
The only other man who threatened
danger to him for the gold medal was
W. T. West, of the Country Club, who
took one more stroke for the IS holes
than the Canadian.
Vests score for the first 9 holes was

hot pace and had the honor of securing

the first hole of the inward journey, and
was one under par on the seventh, and
equaled par on the eighth and ninth.
AS was expected OF him, 3. Mcfarland,
of the Home Club, was right up among
the leaders. He played very consistent
golf, doing each round IN 40 strokes.

on the mound for the jewelers., pitched
in fine form, striking out eleven men

G. Garland. the slabman for the win

sions, although not striking out as many
men as ogle b. four. He allowed only
three hits TO be made off his delivery
and gave the same number Of passes as
his opponent.
In the first inning Andrews used eleven
