| Dallas by a score of up and 1 to play
| Whitney featured this mornings rount
of the championship flight by defeatine
Ellis Knowles of Pensacola in 20 holes
play, hence the match of this Afternoon
was the most interesting that has been
played during the tournament
large gallery followed the PLAYERS
around the course, and although Jacoby
won the first hole, it soon became evi.
dent to the spectators that Whitney was
playing a steadier game, and that ulti.
mately he would put his opponent Out
of the race.
Not a Bit Nervous
Whitney at no time during the after.
noon round seemed the least bit nervous
His drives were long and straight, and
his game was strong throughout the en-
tire round. Both players did poor green
work, however. each missing compara-
lively easy puts.
Another match in the championship
flight this afternoon which attracted con-
siderable interest was played between
Herbert Tutwiler of Birmingham and
Chester Jones of Macon. Tutwiler won
by score of UP and 1 to play.
Reuben Bush of New Orleans had an
easy victory over J. w. Burlington of
Memphis, winning by a score of 6 up and
to play. Darlington is a former south
ern champion and while it was thought
that Bush would win, it was expected
that the match would be closer

hight resulted in victory for George
N. Aldredge of Dallas, who defeated Dr.
tn, ,aIo
