AUGUST TOURNAMENT
At COLUMBIA CLUB
Second Round Nearly Com
pIeted in All Four of the
Sixteens.

But three matches remain to be
played in the second round of the Au-
gust golf tournament of the Columbia
Country Club, all of the other matches
having been gotten out of the way
during the week. most of them being
decided yesterday afternoon.
Unlike last weeks matches most of
them were rather one sided, the win
ner in many cases playing rings around
his opponent: but there were of
course. some close matches. the best
being that in which w. l.. Smith, IL
handicap, won from Otis Fl. Wood, II
handicap, by up and l to play (s6
holes). The first eighteen holes We're
played Wednesday. Wood starting his
opponent up and souaring the match
so that another round was necessary.
The second eighteen holes were
played yesterday afternoon the former
halving one of the first three holes,
thus cutting down the handicap he had
conceded TO Smith and making it all
even. Smiths setback proved TO be
but a temporary one. however. as a
sensational squirt enabled him to win
the fourth. fifth, sixth. seventh and
eighth. and when he lost the ninth and
tenth he was leading. up. The
eleventh was haived, Wood winning
the twelfth and then halving the next
three. a win of the next made Wood
only l down and gave him an excellent
chance to square the match. but he
lost the next hole. making his oppo-
nent up and / to play.
The Brooke-James match probably
attracted more attention than any
ured out that the winner of this match
viii carry off top honors III the second
sixteen, as both are playing their top
game. Brooke conceded James 2 holes
at the start because of the difference
in their handicaps. James made ii 3
up by a win of the very first hole. the
second being halved. and the score
being , up again when Brooke took
the third. In the first half The only
other hole won by James was the sew
enth. Brooke either winning or halvine
the others. the score being all even
at the turn. At the early stages of
the match the little Bannockburn
players driving was way off and it
was only on account OF his good short
game that he was able to do as well
as he did. but coming in his long game
improved and he played his best game.
The tenth. eleventh and twelfth We're
halved Brooke taking the thirteenth,
| fourteenth fifteenth and sixteenth,
these last four holes being made in
three each. par for which is 3. 4, and
| 8. respectively. This ended the match.

and to play.
