Opponents Six Strokes.

Walter r. Tuckerman and Es NJ. Tai
colt were the winners of the semi finals

5. and Talcott beat Childress 3 up and 2.
This throws Tuekernan and Talcott
into the finals this afternoon, the former
allowing the latter six strokes.
Talcott and Childress had an exciting
struggle for supremacy. both being
even in the handicap, and it was only
on the way home that the. former as
sumed the mastery, his work on the
greens bringing about his victory.
Tuckerman at Top Of Game.
Tuckerman and Poore were the first
off this morning and also the first in,
as the former won by up and to
play. With a handicap of large d.
mansions it was thought Tuckerman
would have a hard struggle on his
hands. but the contrary was the case.
Poore held on well for the first FIVE
holes, but after that it was a process
sion of wins for the Districts best
golfer. In a majority of the holes COW
on his second strokes, and, as Poore
remarked after the match, "a man like
myself. playing a short game, has no
chance against that sort of work"
There is no question but that Tucker
man is at the top of his game Just now.
and the clubhouse contingent is pick,
ing him for winner in the finals this
afternoon. The fact that he will have
to give his opponent six strokes makes
no difference in the calculations Of the
experts.

there was slight breeze from the west
this morning when the semi finals
