national golf links Of America here to-
dav. Moreover. Bernard Darwin. the
English golf critic, in disposing OF George
n Barnes OF Apawamis. and r. NJ
Lewis. the Flushing youth. came through
% the semi-hnal round and will clash
With Topping tomorrow. Darwin plays
2 good game and acts as if he would
rather be at II than eat. His iron shots
are particularly pleasing.
On the other side Of the draw McKinl
Holllns. OF Westbrook, a brother OF Miss
Marion Hollins. the women's metropol
tan champion, is confronted with W
Hoffman. OF the home club. Hollins first
retired Archie McIlwaine. I'd, whose golf

last hopes Of Harold Hilton here a year
sro Hoffman came through at the ex-
pense Of James A. Stillman. of Sleepy
Hollow. and Charles B. Macdonald, OF
the National Links.
The match which created the most talk
was that which involved Kirkby and
Maxwell for the unusual incidents IL de-
veloped. Kirkby was not the old Kirkby,

tenth the contest was on even terms.
Maxwell sliced his drive to some thick
bushes IN what was designated as a wa
ter hazard. Oswald was in a sand trap
on the other side OF the fairway. Max
well could not find his ball, and after a
search, Joined in by the gallery, he found
il in an almost unplayable lie underneath
a bush. He played out, was on the green
in and down in >.
Kirkby seemed 10 have the hole In his
pocket. but the recovery Of the other was
too good. and the hole went to Max
well. l up
Following a half in at the sixteenth
came even a worse hash at the seven
