to Discomfort.

Chisholm Beach. of Fox Hills. the pres
ent title holder, remains factor in the
tournament for the golf championship OF
the New York Athletic Club. now being
played over the Fox Hills links, as the
result Of the first and second rounds Of
match play yesterday. DR.. A. #. Haight,
Of Wykagyl, who won the medal in the
qualifying round, ieli by the wayside. a
victim Of the game OF n. l.. Richard, OF
st. Andrews. whose margin was up and
2 to play In the semi-fnal matches TO-
day Beach will oppose y. T. Griffin, of
Richmond County while Richard has r.
NJ. Tarleton, the Oakland player, on his
hands.
Beach's first opponent was James ID.
Foot, the Apawamis senior. 1t so hap
pencd, however, that jtst as Foot was
ready to give Beach a run for his match
a telegram was handed to him, calling
him back TO the city. There was nothing
to do but default. I'm spite Of the fact
that Foot could have been back by noon.
II would have compelled Beach TO wait
for several hours and Foot refused 10
ask il. The title holder then came in
contact with s. +. Loveless. Of Wykagyl,
and won by the decisive margin Of Z up
and s 10 play.
DR.. Haight had little difficulty with
Ralph G. Carroll, Of Knollwood, in the
early round His driving was especially
good. but the Wykagyl man could not
keep the pace in the afternoon and fell
before Richard by and margin.
James @. Patterson, of the home club,
trounced X. A. Sasseen, clubmate, but
had 10 bow 10 Tarleton later on.
After the first round had been COM
pleted the original programme Of pro-
viding sets for those beaten was carried
out, with the result that instead OF eight
men in each consolation there were only
four in each OF the second and third. 1t
is probable that the time for the tourna-
ment will be shifted to earlier in the
season next year.
One Of the interesting developments or
the day was the talk of holding team
match between members Of the New York
A. c. and OF the Dunwoodie Country Club,
probably on the home and home basis,
the Mercury Foot organization taking
Fox Hills as its course.
Weather conditions were not good, for
there was a chilly wind of the hay, and
IN the afternoon II rained.
