AHEAD FROM THE START

SOUTHAMPTON. L. l., Aug. 2I.-The
value OF a good start was we'll Illus
trated to-day in the match between Os-
valid Kirkby of Englewood and Nelson
Whitney of New Orleans in the ina OF
the tournament over the National Golf
Links Of America. Kirkby won by 4 UP
and 2 to play and 1t was largely be-
cause he began with a rush. The former
foot putt for "A 3 on the first hole, and
that alone was enough TO worry Whit
ney, who has been matched against
fine players all through the tournament.
Barring a missed putt on the Alps
hole Kirkby never needed more than par
figures until the seventh. lie was 3 up
at the fourth and the next two were
halvod. Whitney laid his tee shot at the
sixth within three feet of the pin and
missed the putt for u 2, 50 that kirkby
from seven feet was able to get a half.
ON the seventh, a hole which kirkby
has played badly Eearly every time dur
ing the tournament, he dubbed his sec
ond and third shots, badly overplaying
the fourth, and wound up with "A 7 Tor
the hole. II was the first that whitney
won. but tho Southerner played the
eighth poorly. hooking his approach to the
hill on the left. and lost the hole. A
half In an Indifferent 6 at the ninth lett
Kirkby 3 up at the turn.
An inclination to pull his tee shots
troubled Kirkby AT lines. This was
particularly true In the morning, and on
the tenth in the afternoon the tendency
developed again and he took . Tor the
hole 10y getting into the rough ana
failing to get out on his second. kirkoy
was lucky to get "A 4 at the Eden mole
where his tee shot got into the bay, but
Whitney was badly bunkered n over
played in getting out. so that hirkpy
won the hole, when Il looked as thougn
he should have lost it. Kirkby became
dormie at the Cape hole. because WHIT
n.y ovcrplayed the green after topping
his drive into Bullhead Bay. A half IN
