GOLFERS DEFY THE RAIN
Richards Carries Off Honors in
MontcIair Tourney.
MAKES AN UNUSUAL RECORD
St. Andrews Man Plays Through
Two Matches Without
Losing a Hole.

In defiance Of wind and rain golfers GOV.
cred themselves with mud and glory over
the links Of the Montcar Golf Club yes-
terday Throughout both match play
rounds in the main division low cards wers
the rule. and in this respect n. e. Rich
ards the dashng St. Andrews player.
easily carried OF the honors He wen.
through both contests without losing hole.
a performance rarely accomplished by even
a Travis or an Evans. other survivors OF
the day were c. p. Eddy. OF Ridgewood; H.
d. Smith OF Glen Ridge. and F. ". Dyer.
Of the home club The last named will meet
Richards in the semi-fnal round this
morning. while Smith and Eddy will fight
II out on the other side.
An early surprise came in the einiina-
ton Of b. T Allen. the Staten Island
champion. AT the hands o, r. NJ Marston
The last named has been devoting most or
his time 70 baseball this spring. and Is
still somewhat short % his best form. Con-
sequently, when Allen got the Crawford
man down AZ the turn. and then made =
down AT the tenth. the end seemed near.
The tide turned from there on. however.
Allen had trouble on the green's. and the
longer he looked az the holes the smaller
they appeared This enabled Marston TO
get level AT the seventeenth and 70 win
with n on the last green.
Home talent met with scant consideration
in four 81 the morning matches In one
J Of these e. ". Wild. the Crawford ute
! holder, never gave A. r Allan a chance.
| Wild began b. winning the first SIX holes.
on the next green Allan had a put OF
| foot or less for helve but before he could
| put MS opponent said: I'll give you that
| So relieved was the Montclair man ct
being able 70 do something besides lose
holes that he thanked his opponent for his
generosity Thereafter Wild contented him
self with holding his advantage and VIII
| ming by and margin.
! Probably the hardest fought match Of the
first round was the one between Smith ard
W B. Bremner. the Montclsir champion
The last named had been getting such low
scores Of late that not few regarded him
as possible winner. lie did play up 20
his form, getting around IN 7s, but even
that left him 1 down to the Glen Ridge
man. who never showed 20 better advant-
age
| Richards victim in the morning was J.
Hodgson. Jr., another Montclair man Out
IN a fine 81, Richards turned for homo
I'D. so that only two more holes were re-
qlIired 20 settle matters. In the afternoon
Richards disposed Of Marston almost as DE-
cisiveIy. Here the 81. Andrews golfer
reached the turn II SO.
II so happens that 3. T. Allen and A. R
Allan now find themselves IN the samo
bracket In the first beaten eight DIVISION
They declare the main question 70 be de-
terr,lined Is how the name should be spelled.
Whether IL is an" or zen" Will be con-
ceded after this mornings round.
