and held them TO one lone run. Both
teams helded raggedly and the three
errors Inquired largely In the scoring.
Matteson did the twirling for the
smokes and held the visitors 10 seven
hits. three OF which were decidedly
OF seratchy nature. Neale who mas

the loss OF the game when he dropped
Martins ny back Of second base.
Nee opened with a fly to Sisson.
Coveleski drove a wicked single to

the felder's choice. Nee and Martin
tried the double steal. but Martin was
an easy out at home. Anderson to
Withrow.
Three Faced Matteson.
In the fourth only three men faced
Matteson but in the fifth, three
scratch hits and an error netted one
run. Gygli opened the fifth with n
hard grounder at Matteson. The bail
hit his glove and bounded toward
third. Reilly recovered and threw
Gygli out at first Stanley singled
over second. He stole second and
took third when Quinlan scratched a
hit through short. Martin lifted one
back OF second and Greasy came In
Tor H. He camped. and set himself
for the throw to the plate TO cut on
the run. The ball slid through his
mitts and Stanley crossed. Aldridge
drove one at Reilly, who broke II down
but was unable to make the play. Nee
died out to Sisson.
Three men faced Matteson again in
the sixth. The Sailors did the real
damage In the seventh after two were
out. Gygli famed and Stanley was

streaks OF goodness, and strangely
enough, II was just the other way

of scoring was excellent and the two
golfers who led the field at the end
og the day, Walter G.. Hagen and
Robert G. Mcdonald, were tied at
145 strokes for the thirty-six holes of
play. total that would have been
considered good on a fair day.
And Hagen and Mcdonald were not
the. only ones to do we'll Right on
their heels, tied at l4s, were another
pair of professionals. Jack McDer-
mott. who proved in most convincing
fashion that he has regained his form

lane. a young Scotch golfer stationed
at Baltimore. who finished in the
money in the Metropolitan open last
year at Scarsdale were the two. Then
there were two more at 14T, OH
Nichols. holder of the Metropolitan
title in 1911. and Tom Boyd, the young
British golfer, who came over last
winter and is now employed at Fox
Hills All told there were an even
dozen with scores lower than $50, and
among them were Jim Barnes. Tom

those three recognized contenders for
any title for which they play. are not
far from the top. Alex Smith. with
