hole spectacularly. To begin with, he
hooked his drive, played into the woods
IN his second. hitting a tree and caus-
ing the ball to bound into the rough,
from which he put an iron shot on the
furthest corner Of the green. He pro-
ceeded to hole the ball, and won again
when Ouimet failed on his putt. This
made White 3 up with 5 to play. The
next three holes were halved and they
shook hands.
Maxwell r. Marston kept up the fine
play which made him a finalist. and
won in the first flight from Hamilton
Kerr by / up. The play throughout
the afternoon was close, there never
being a margin of more than two holes
difference at any time. Eight of the
first ten holes were halved. Marston's
driving was superb, and his iron shots
hardly could have been improved on.
At the third hole Marston's drive meas.
ured $40 yards. and at the fifth he
drove into the brook, 270 yards away,
with an iron. Kerr played his shots
straight down the middle and went
down in two puts or less on every
green but one.
The semi-final rounds in all divisions
were hard fought, there being dve
nineteen-hoie matches. Marston and
Lewis had ding-dong battle, which
went to the home hole. and Kerr did
not win until Seeley missed yard
putt on the eighteenth green.

ball players are naturally superstitious,
and some Of the men in the organized
pale do not hesitate to say that player
who jumps to the Feds is jinxed.
They base this assertion on the i'll for
tune that has followed some Of the con-
spicuous tossers who leaped to the out
laws last winter and spring.
Take Joe Tinker, the original jumper.
A month ago he had to leave the game
owing to injuries and will not be able to
play again this season. Tinker, who
battsd .8l7 in the National League In
1913, must have gone back. for when he
was obliged to quit the Chicago Feds
his batting percentage was only .242.
Addison Brennan has been prize
package Of misfortune all year. Although
Tinker counted on Brennan being one
of his mainstays. the jumping PM con-
tracted rheumatism last spring and has
been virtually useless all season. Bren-
nan has pitched only six games this year
and he lost four of them. Under the
circumstances President Baker is not
worrying because Brennan's jumping
saved him from having an invalid on
his hands.
