green
ou,net scored his victory in playing NO
for the Massachusetts team against the
Metropolitan Golf Association forces In

In passing It is worthy Of mention that
the MASSACHUSETTS team won every match
n the afternoon singles. which is the first
line such a blow has fallen on the New
Fork golfers.
In nearly all the way, Travers seemed
o have the measure Of his rival, but tow

Ouimet outdrove his opponent for the
first time from the sixth tee. but missed

the cup on a 12-foot try for 3. Again
al the seventh Ouimet refused 10 take ao-
vantage Of an opening. for although ms
ee shot left him a yard put for he
missed, thereby allowing Travers. who
7ad overplayed to a bunker. to get
