Round and Bows in
Defeat.


In match carried TO the second extra
green Frederick Horrcshcn Of Garden
city. defeated Gardiner w. White. of the
home club. in the final round OF the open
tournament at the Oakland Golf club
Yesterday. Il proved a fitting finish TO
tournament replete with incidents and
added another feather in the cap OF this
sturdy golfer who has played such an
important part in American golf history
What pleased HerrcshoG as much as
anything else was his defeat of Jerome
D Travers. the national champion, in
the semi-fnal round. A combination of
good play and little luck on the part or
Ucrreshoff proved too much for the man
from Upper Montclair. especially as the
last named. possibly due to the chilly
weather. was unable to get going in any
thing like the golf he had displayed
earlier i'm the tournament
When Travcrs and Herreshon left the
first tee the general opinion in the gal
lcry favored the champion, but he soon
showed that il was not his day. The
first hole is o1S yards, slightly down hill,
and Uerreshon surprised the gallery by
driving with a putter. He almost made
the green as did Travers, but the Garden
city golfer got closer to the flag on the
approach and won the hole with a 3.
Thereafter except for a brief period
going out Travers was always the under
dog. although he did manage to square
accounts with at the 250-yard fourth,
where he drove the green with his favor
ite driving iron.
From that point on neither his ap-
proaches nor puts were brought of with
his usual precision, ana the champion also
had a topped drive charged against hlm
AT No. T. He made a hash Of the next
hole. getting in the road on his drive and
falling TO reach the green from this haz-
ard That placed Herreshoff up, but he
lost the ninth through weak putting Her
reshoff went out in SS and turned for
home up. Several times on the inward
Journey Travers had chances TO win holes
but the only one he accepted was on the
thirteenth green, where his opponent need
cd three puts. Herreshof won the next
hole after topping his drive, the cham
pion going wrong on a short approach
When Herreshoff found himself in the
comfortable position Of dormie 1t was
generally agreed that he would win, but
even so, Travers was expected to make
gamer fight than he did. Instead, the
champion made hash Of the seventeenth
hole. which he lost, so that Herreshon
won by and margin.
In the mean time White had a hard
time in disposing of Roy Webb, Of Engle-
wood Fine golf in the early stages
enabled White to secure a lead Of 3 up
lie was out in 81. Webb then came back
in Is. and carried the match to the home
green.
Both Herreshoff and White gave fine
exhibition Of long driving in their final
match, first one and then the other being
compelled 10 play the odd after the tee
shots. Herreshoff became 2 up by win
ming the third and fourth, where White
got into trouble. Steady golf thereafter
enabled White to become up at the turn
his winning Of the ninth hole being spec
tacular, the result of mashie shot for
from off the green's edge. He was out
in 3s, TO Herreshoffs 80.
a steadier short game placed White
dormie 2 by the time they had holed out
on the sixteenth green, but Herreshoff
won the seventeenth and eighteenth in
good figures. bringing off an eight-footer
on the home green for 3. He was lucky
10 lay White a stymie at the nineteenth,
otherwise the Oakland golfer would have
won then and there. To the next hole
White failed to make the green on his
second. so that Herreshoff won the hole
