KIRKBY GETS THE MEDAL
Committee Reconsiders and
Gives a Prize for the Quail
flying Round.

Favorites came through i'm the first and
second match rounds OF the invitation
golf tournament on the links OF the Mas
sau Country Club yesterday, the sur
vivors being oswald Kirkby, of Engle-
wood, the New Jersey champion; II. j.
Topping. of Greenwich; Walter j. Travis,
Of Garden City. and Fred Herreshoff, of
Westbrook. The tournament committee
reconsidered IT'S early statement that
there would be no medal for the qualify
ing round by voting to award the prize
TO Kirkby
It will be remembered that Kirkby re-
turned a thrty-six hole score of 157 for
the double round, only TO learn that
through lack of time in which to get the
entire field round the afternoon part OF
the programme had been called off. The
first statement from the committee was
to the effect that there would be no low
score medal.
The closest match Of the early hours
was between ". L. Hicks, of the home
club, and r. f. Mundy. OF Ardsley, Il
former Chicago golfer. Hicks won by
lIp on the home green. Later in the day
the Nassau veteran started auspiciously
against Herreshoff, having his opponent
down at the turn and down a little
later Herreshoff then won four straight
holes and the match by up.
Travis began by taking the measure OF
$. c. Mabon. of Ardsley, the first named
travelling along at II clip. AS a result
he had Mabon beaten on the fifteenth
green. Later on Travis defeated McKim
Holins after fairly close match.
Klrkby won in the afternoon at the eX-
pense OF II. B. Lee. OF Yale. thereby get
ting revenge for the defeat at the hands
of the Westerner in the amateur cham
