No matter how the semi-fnal rounds in

the fifteenth green and two halved holes
followed. Sullivan weakened. Travis laid
his tee shot at the eighteenth within eight

That Dwight Partridge, of the home
club. and formerly Yale player, retains
lot of the golf that made him promi-
nent a number OF years ago Is shown by
the fact that after winning by default in
the morning, he handily eliminated Ham
ilton X. Kerr, of Ekwanok. Kerr had
previously beaten Chisholm Beach, the
New York Athletic Club title holder.
One of the incidents of the day was
the appearance of Ben Savers. the IA
nous Scotch professional. Sayers came
