Strokes Behind In First Half.

professional, led ]. J. McDermott, ma
tional open golf champion, in the
first half Of their 72-hole home-and-
home match played on the Atlantic
City Country Club course at North
field yesterday McDermott was four
down at the end Of the days play.
McDermott was off his game at the
start and gave Nichols a big advant-
age by handing him the first four
holes. Nichols seemed to be in fine
form. He played a steady, consistent
game all day long. and did not have a
six in the SO holes. He played every
hole in DOGGY or par and was sure in
his putting. McDermott had three
skies in his morning round and each
one Of them cost him a hole.
Nichols going out in the morning
had a three for the first hole and
FIVE for the fourth, while all the rest
were done in four, making 80. Coming
home he played a steadier game than
Nichols. with the exception of the
twelfth, which took MIN six. He had
four threes, four fours and six,
making "a, the same as Nichols. This
made him 70 for the round
In the afternoon neither Of the men
had anything above nve. McDermott
collected two on the tenth, but that
was the only brilliant play. Both
played steady golf and neither WAS
much off the lie. The ball shot
straight toward the hole at every
stroke, aud il was a fine exhibition
Of the ancient game and delighted tho
gallery.
McDermott was two down in the
morning and went down for two more
in the afternoon. This leaves him
four down TO start the secoud stage
of the match on the Wilmington
course next Thursday.

standing of Ottenis statement of the
