Defeat Stars of Smith
Family on Golf Links.
MATCH BRINGS RECORD GOLF
Wisconsin Experts Nose Out the Mem
bers of the Smith Family at the Saith
Hole After the Fastest Golf Ever
Seen in Wisconsin.

Bob and James Simpson retrieved all
Of the golf losses of the Kenosha club
and the Blue Mound club for the pres
emf season on Friday when playing the
best golf ever seen on the Kenosha
links they defeated the new Western
Open Champion, Macdonald Smith of
Del Monte, Cal, and his brother, for
mer open champion Alex Smith of New
Rochelle, N. Y, in a family match by a
score of three up two to play. Bob and
Jimmie divided the honors Of the
game and the critical plays Of both of
them brought home the victory
The morning round brought the best
play of the day and the best card was
returned by the new Western Open
Champion. Macdonald Smith had II
in the round, but he carried weight
with Alex as his mate, for the best the
older Of the brothers could get was an
80 and it was a case of the champion
playing the best ball of the Simpsons
with the exception OF one hole, the
18th, where Alex holed out from his
drive for two.
In the afternoon the Simpsons start
ed with their lead Of one hole and they
got better advantage on the second
green, where poor putting on the part
of the Smiths gave them another hole,
making them two up. The holes were
all halyed until the thirteenth was
reached. Macdonald Smith drove with
il fifteen feet of the hole and both of
the Simpson s were on the green, but
long ways from the cup. James Simp-
sen rolled down three and this seem
ed to take the heart out Of MacDon-
aid, who had a chance for. the hall, but
he overran the hole and took four. On
the fourteenth it looked as if the west
ern champion would surely pick up a
hole. He was within five feet of the
hole on his second The Simpsons were
juss on the green and after James had
gone down for four Bob took a
try at it from the edge of the green.
The ball went down without a culver
This again took the heart of the cham
pion and he missed his short pct and
the hole went to the Simpsons, making
them four up four to 60. Then the
Smiths took a brace. Macdonald was
or the green with his second and Alex
was in the bunker with Jimmie Simp-
son on his third. Bob Simpson made
the green in three, but was far from
the hole. Macdonald Smith went down
in two easy puts and took the hole in
4 to for Bob Simpson. The champion
had an easy put for the sixteenth hole
but he missed and halved the hole,
giving the match to the Simpsons.
