mingham, of Wykagyl. in the final
match of the Sleepy Hollow Country

margin was up and to play. carter
was also the principal winner IN the
tournaments of the Oakland Golf Club
and the Nassau Country Club, as well
as in the metropolitan junior cham
pionship at the Garden City Golf Ciub.
Carter was in one of his irresistible
moods yesterday. His first opponent
was Gardiner w. White. against whom
Carter went flying out in "a, and al
though the Flushing champion record
cd 81 on his own account he found HIM
self down.
As an illustration of the things that
Carter did it is only necessary to call
attention to his play on the eighth hole.
The distance is AL yards and the line
follows around a.. corner Of woods.
After a fine drive the youthful title
holder laid his brassie second to with
in five inches of the cup. Carter won
the match by 3 UP and 2 to play.
Birmingham. who had previously
taken the measure of Hamilton X.
Kerr, the Connecticut state champion.
by u b and margin. showed the ef-
fects Of the hot weather and of three
days of golf over the hills. For five
holes the Wykagyl man was able to
keep even with the fast going Carter.
II looked as if the younger man woulc
not show to advantage, for on the third
hole he pulled his drive to the rough
and the ball came to rest in a rabbits
burrow Failing to get out on his next
stroke Carter picked up.
The best shot Birmingham made all
day long was at the short fifth over the
ravine. He topped his drive into the
declivity and made remarkable out,
having his ball so well up toward the
pin that he ran down the putt for a
3 and half. That was also the last
thing he did. however, FOR Carter, play
ing two out of the next four holes
under par figures, won three of them.
He had a siX-foot putt for a two on
the ninth green and missed it. He
was out in SO to Bcrmingham's Al.
On the inward trip Carter took the
first two holes and settled the match
on the short thirteenth by making a
good recovery from a bunker for n 4
