MISSING BALL IN
POCKET OF DRIVER
p. q. Platt and S. c. Clarke VIII
Fight 1t Out in Upper Half of
Semi-Final Matches.

agencies, including a surfeit of extra
holes, characterized the first and Sec
ond rounds of match play In the Fox
Hills Golf Clubs invitation tourna-
ment yesterday. Incidentally, the semi
hnal matches to-day will bring to-
gether Percy G. Plat, of the New York
Golf Club, and S. c. Clarke. Of Sleepy
Hollow, in the upper half. while in the
lower August F. Hammer and J. Harold
Slater will fight it out.
The horse-and-wagon incident hap
pened to A. P. Roth, Of Manhattan,
who was playing with F. V. Sullivan.
OF Fox Hills, in the beaten eight of the
fourth sixteen. Roth's second shot
was made just as the wagon passed on
the road through the fairway The old
could not find his ball, despite the fact
that he had seen il strike the man,
who paid no attention 10 II.
The horse trotted along serenely, and
Roth suddenly realized that perhaps
the ball might be in the wagon, so he
started out on hot chase. Coming up
to the astonished driver. an investiga-
ton showed that the ball had lodged
in the mans pocket, and he never knew
the difference Roth had 10 take the
ball back as near as possible TO the
spot where it hit the man.
The incident Of the dog happened on
the ninth green TO J. +. Beck, of Thorn
burg, and Henry Herring, of Scarsdale,
playing in the fourth sixteen. Both
had approached to the green, and when
the players came out from behind the
embankment guarding it they were
oh 30 Sid h.t koI
picked up the balls in his mouth and
carted them over TO his master nearby.
AS if to add insult to injury, though
evidently with view of being oblig-
ing, the man tied himself up as il TO
pitch the balls back to the players.
Only wild gestures prevented the awful
act from being done.
In the early round two favorites fell
by the wsyside in the persons of Max
well r. Marston, the New Jersey cham
pion, and Franklin W. Dyer, the medal
winner. Marston was beaten by Beach,
while Dyer fell a victim TO Platt In
each case the match went to the home
hole.
Later in the day Beach succumbed
to Plat on the twentieth, Clark beat
Austin p. Palmer on the nineteenth
and Slater had to 20 two extra holes TO
take the measure of B. T. Allen, for
mer Staten Island champion. Hammer,
however, had no trouble with l.. G.
Spindler, of Fox Hills, the margin
being and 8.
Beach was usually the under man
against MaIston, but squared tie match
on the seventeenth and won the eigh-
teenth with fine 3, obtained through
bringing off l0-foot putt.
