Harry vardon and Edward Ray, the
British golfers, were defeated in
best ball match over the Wykagyl
Country Club links yesterday by the
brothers, Alex and Macdonald
smith, the wykagyl professionals.
The result was up and to play
in favor of the two who hold between
them the open titles of the metro
politan and Western Golf associa-
lions.
Macdonald Smith, the youngest OF
the quartet, was the particular star,

afternoon and one in the morning

his individual work, the first being
On the fifth hole, where he ran down
a putt of about twelve or fifteen feet
over a difficult mound. The other he
got with a good putt on the tenth
green.
Ray had slightly the worst of the
breaks" one of his worst pieces OF
misfortune being when he lofted a
ball from the seventh tee and it
came down hard on the soft green
and buried itself almost out Of sight
He had to dig the ball out with a
90 10cf fh0 hole
to the Smiths, who each made par 3.
Vardon took three puts. About one
thousand enthusiasts followed the
play.
