Feature Match of Tourney.
BEATS H. c. CHAMBERL AIN
Victor Comedies Two Holes to Or
ponent and Wins Out,
3 Up and 2.

george T. James won the feature match
of the week in the July tournament of
the Columbia Country Club when he de-
feated II. c. Chamberlain in the semi
final round Of the first fight. Chamberlain
won the first sixteen prize in last month 8
event. and was picked by many to repeat,
but James was going at his best. and
simply would not be denied.
The handicapping rule regarding this
tournament Is that the low-handicap man
must start his opponent a number of
holes up equal to half the difference in
their handicaps. SO that James had to
concede Chamberlain two holes at the
start, but he proved equal to the occa-
sion. and soon overlook his opponent and
ended the match at the sixteenth hole.
3 up and 3
One of the closest matches of the week
was that between T. w. Brahaney and
u. D. Blackstone in the fifth sixteen,
which the former Won on the home hole.
Brahaney was l up when they drove
from the eighteenth tee, and it looked
very much as if another round would be
necessary when Blackistone's third went
dead to the hole. He was overconfident,
however and missed a two-foot putt,
which enabled his opponent to halve the
hole and take the match, 1 up.
Springs Surprise.
DR.. Paris E. Prengle sprang quite a
surprise when he easily defeated DR.. Otis
H. Wood in the consultations of the first
sixteen, winning 6 up and to play.
Wood started him 1 UP. but he soon in
creased his lead, and was never in dan
ger He went around in eighty, which is
exceptionally good. and this is largely
due to his long game. which was of the
best.
Another good match was that in which
Frank Govern defeated ]. w. Beller in
the fourth sixteen of the consolation.
Govern started his opponent up and
then proceeded to win the first four
holes. After this the match was nip
and tuck" first one winning and then
the other. They were all-even at the
turn. and again at the fourteenth, when
Govern braced and took the next two,
the match ending when the seventeenth
was halved.
The third sixteen was completed, r. E.
l.. Yellott defeating L. E. Sinclair in the
semi-finals and then winning from Rob-
inson White in the finals, the latter hav-
ing beaten W. r. Pedigo in the semi
final round.
