Wins Two Matches and Reaches
Semi Final Round - Webb
and White Also Hold
Their Places.


of the open golf tournament on the links
of the Oakland Golf Club yesterday
Herreshoffs margin of up and ? TO
play was decidedly more comfortable than
his narrow squeak over Ralph Peters jr.'
in the morning. that match being carried
10 the home green.
While Herreshoff was winning his way
10 the semi-fnal round Jerome d. Tray
ers. the national champion, acquitted NM
self equally well, first disposing OF howard
Is. Lee. of Yale, TO the tune OF up ana =
10 play and then removing John NJ. WARD
by up and 10 play.
The other survivors were Roy Webb, OF
Englewood and Gardiner w. White. OF
the home club. In the semi-final round this
morning these two will meet the winner
10 go against the successful man in the
Travers- HerresnOff match.
Throughout the day the calibre of play
showed an improvement over the efforts
of the golfers on Thursday. TraVers oe-
reated Lee because of better short game
the champion rarely failing 10 take ad-
vantage of his opponents lapses on the
green. IL also was noticed that from most
of the tees Travers had greater length
Lee hung on well going out. and turning
for home only down. but he lost the
next four holes. TraVers Keeling them OH
in one over IS. That settled the FORMER
Michigan champion.
Later in the day Travers took on John
NJ. Ward. who managed TO make things
interesting for a time. although the for
mer second baseman of the Giants was
hp Oacnud hole
in 81. Travers turned for home up. and
practically clinched the match with >
at the short eleventh and thirteenth holes.
Ward was 4 down then, and did well 10
carry the contest to the sixteenth green.
Travis started the play by defeating
Henry j. Topping. of Greenwich. The last
named made a much better showing imam
he did on the occasion Of their last meet
ing. at Atlantic City. Twice yesterday
Topping had opportunities to win holes
that he ignored because Of weak putting
Travis won by up and ! 10 play, the
strokes reading so 10 So in his favor.
Greater length Of the tees helped Here
sboff against Travis This extra yardage,
however. would have awaited little had he
not backed up his wooden club work with
two executions Herreshoff held his own on
the green. The approach shots of Travis
on occasions did not get as near TO the
flag as in the old days, and there were
times when his drives failed 10 keep him
out of trouble. out in SO, Herreshoff
turned home ! up. They halved five Of
the seven remaining holes Of the match
Herreshoff winning the twelfth and four
teenth in each.
ON the other side of the draw White did
the best work. Tie always had the upper
hand in his first round match against X.
NJ. TarletOn, Of the same club. and had
the Oakland record holder finished out the
bye holes the chances are he would nave
been around in 10 or better. Later he
did make a 10 at the expense of A. w.
Cowperthwaite. White seems full Of con-
fdence. and his friends expect to see him
reach the final stage this afternoon.
Many close matches were recorded the
longest one Of the day being d twenty
