Harold H. Hilton Is One of the Greatest Expo
nents of Medal Play in the World

Rye. n. Y. Sept. 12.-Harold H Hilton
demonstrated the fact that he is one
of the worlds greatest eXponents of
| medal play at Apawamis to-day when he
completed the second half of the quail
flying round for the national champion
ship in "A. which added to his 76 of
Monday, gave him a total for the thirty
six holes OF 150 and won the gold medal
for him by a margin Of two strokes. Tied
for second place at 152 were the two
young Westerners, Robert Gardner and
Albert Seckel, and the rest of the lucky
thirty-two. who qualified for the match
play. were strung along between that
figure and I63, which proved to be the
high-water mark Within an hour after
he had completed his medal round, the
British champion was off again to be-
gin the process of proving that he is as
good at match play as he is at medal
play, and he successfully survived the
first stage of the test by defeating S. ].
Graham, of Greenwich, by up and 2
to play.
His victory in the afternoon was over
shadowed, however, by the results of
some of the other frst-round matches,
for Jerome Travers defeated his time
honored rival, Walter j. Travis, and be-
fore the afternoon was over a new cham
pion was assured, for w. c. Fownes, jr.,
the winner of the title last year, met
Fred Herreshoff when the latter was
indulging In one Of his brilliant streaks
and a bad beating fell to the lot Of the
titleholder. Altogether, four Quondam
national champions fell by the way,
Travis, Fownes, E. NJ. Byers. and Rob-
ert Gardner, who met defeat at the hands
of his friend, Albert Seckel.
The rivalry between the East and the
West began to make itself felt as the
players finished their morning rounds to-
day, and when Paul Hunter turned in
card Of 70, the lowest of the tournament,
the stock OF the Westerners went up.
1t continued to go up as the other scores
came in, for Robert Gardner and Albert
Seckel were at the head Of the list, un-
til Hilton arrived. The final lineup of
the first division showed four Western
players under Hilton on the list before
there was a single Eastern name, Os-
wald Kirby with 155, being the best from
this section of the country. The draw
however, was unfavorable to the West
ern golfers, for most OF their best men
were crowded together in the lower half
and Seckel and Gardner were drawn
against each other. With Travers and
Travis together, the East was not much
better off.
The Hilton-Graham match was follow

about two months ago.
Ridings has been in hiding for the
past two months but Sheriff Taylor
has been on his track and knew that
1t would be only a matter of time be-
fore he was landed. He stole the
horse on the reservation, delivered
it into the hands of a confederate

CITY INSPECTOR
NARROWLY ESCAPES

Frank Konaseck, we'll known citi-
zen who is acting as inspector for
the city on the extension of the sew
er system, had a very narrow escape
from death Tuesday when a portion
of one of the tunnels being dug caved
in, partly burying him. AS it is he is
minus two of his teeth and only the
failure of a large mass of earth to
follow the first quantity which fell
in, does he owe his life.
Konaseck examines each section of
pipe to see that it is properly placed
and connected. and it was while en-
gagged in this duty that the accident
occurred which nearly inferred him
alive, Instead of digging one long
trench for the sewer pipe the con-
tractors dig a number of short sec
tions and connect them up with tun-
nels, thus minimizing the amount of
earth which must be moved. 1t was
while crawling in one of these tun-
nels to examine the pipe that Kona-
seek was pinioned by the falling earth.
His head was forced violently against
the pipe and two of his teeth We're
knocked out In addition he was Sc
verely bruised. Members of the crew
quickly rescued him and after a
days layoff. he is again on the job.
