Easy for Corkran.
The interest Of the day naturally GEN.
tered in the match between B. Warren
Corkran. of the Baltimore Country Club,
and William Frew, of the Allegheny
Club. of Pittsburg, which the Balti- |
morean easily won, the score being up
and 6 to play. Notwithstanding the |
weather conditions. a small gallery fol- |
lowed the play over the muddy course. |
Frew got off badly, ditching his first |
ball, and never had the count in his ia |
vor, the third being the only hole cap
tured by him. Corkran took the first |
two holes. Frew made the third and |
halved the fourth, then Corkran got all |
the remaining except the eighth, which !
was halved winning the match at the !
twelfth hole. Although his card does
not show as low a score for the number |
of holes as in his previous matches in |
the tourney. Corkran played a most con- |
sistent game, while his opponent ap- |
peared to be considerably of form. his |
putting not being as clever as usual, and |
his drives lackingiin direction. The card |
