Menamy. OF Dunwoodie, and A. G.
Richie. Of Wykagyl, in the semi-finai
round Of the fifth sixteenth. There is
local rule that a ball driven from the ~
teenth tee to the road may be dropped
back without penalty, provided it Is within
the confines Of the fairway. McMenamy
drove into the road and, considering that
he was within his rights. dropped back
Richie thought differently, and told his
opponent that he would play the hole
out under protest. McMenamy won il.
and when they had run their puts down
on the home green the match stood all
square, providing McMenamy was sus-
tanned by the committee. This was the
case, whereupon they played an extra
hole, McMenamy winning. The last
named then defeated p. S. Mclaughlin in
