between Webb and Malloy. At the outset
Uobb developed a wildness off the tee,

Int on the thirteenth green Webb made
ualloy hole a short one scarcely a foot
from the cup. II evidently annoyed the
Garden City man. and from that point his
short game grew steadily worse.

for good measure on the next green. Barnes
Won the thirteenth and fourteenth. where
his opponent missed short puts. The next
three holes were halved, leaving Barnes

A quartet Of well known players qualified
for the sem-fnals in the second sixteen
They were Arden NJ Robbins. ". ". Tay-
Tor. D. B. Fuller and James Rhett. They
will meet as named to-day.
The greatest interest in the morning
matches centred in the contest between
Maurice Malloy, Of tho home cluh. who won
the gold medal in the qualifying round. and
Robert G. Watson. secretary of the United
States Golf Association. Malloy had to go
IN the twenty-second green to defeat Gard
ner on Thursday. while Watson's elimina-
ton Of H. VI. Hartman, Of Newport, who
won the national title several years ago,
gave rise to the belief that he would give
Mailoy a tussle.
The United States Golf Association secre-
tary began by topping his drive from the
first tee. Malloy pulled his second. but ran
up dead and wen the hole. to 8. The four
holes following were halyed. and at the
sixth Watson squared the match. He took
the lead soon afterward and making the
tenth in 3, went further ahead. Malloy,
however. squared matters on the fifteenth
and became / up when Watson socketed

wam., for he won BY the wide margin of
up and 70 play. but Barnes found IT
necessary 10 go 10 the nineteenth green TO
down Gordon Douglas of Newport. Whit
latch earned his right 10 the next round at
the expense Of Z. L. De Forest, Of Midland
but only after a match that had to be car
ried to the home green.
One of the surprises OF the morning round
was the elimination from the second six
teen Of Gardiner w. White, of Oakland. at
The hands Of Seney Plummer OF Apawamis
in a match that lasted nineteen holes
White won the tournament last year, but
was unable to get going in the qualifying
round and had 10 be content with a place
