are the four golfers left In the fight for
the chief trophy. and IA II will he Shar-
wood against Patterson in one semi-inal
match tomorrow morning and Paul
against Herreshoff In the other the golf
ers from the home district have q chance
to m~onopolize the Ana Of the first Met
ropolitan tourney OF the year. The odds
are against their doing so. however. as
Sherwood, who won the medal yesterday,
is expected to beat Patterson. while the
Paul-Herreshoff battle should be one OF
the best Of the tourney. with neither
the favorite.
Chief interest to-day centred in the
work Of Herreshoff. for his many friends
all wanted to see him play AS he played
In the days before Illness threatened to
end his career on the links. He was
not quite the Herreshoff OF old to-day.
but he was near enough to II to gladden.
the carts Of many who watched him.
As was the case In the qualifying round
yesterday he was driving a remarkably
long ball, n this morning repeated
his trick Of driving hole high on the
2s0 yard fourteenth. His short game
was lacking in fnesse at times, his
worst shot being a short pitch when
there was a bunker or other obstruction
between him and the green.
II can't seem to get that shot, he
said sorrowfully after an especially afro
cious effort in the thirteenth hole In his
first round match against ". c. Kayser
Of S~carsdale.

kayser put up n good fight despite
the fact that he was o~utdistanced from
every tee and kept the match going TO
the sixteenth green. where the former
Metropolitan champion won by 3 up and
2 10 play. HerreshofY was out in Al and
he repeated the performance against v,
c. Longley in the afternoon. Lonkley
won the first hoe but that was about
all AZ Herreshoff squared the match Oh
the second green and then kept forging
ahead steadily to win BY ! up and 6
to play.
Paul. who will he Herreshors on
ponent tomorrow morning. won his way
into the sem!-fnal by beating two excel
lent golfers and playing some OF the
best golf OF the day while doing so.
The North Ca%rolinian. who once lived and
played golf In the North. had Horace T.
Cook of Trenton ON his hands this morn
Ing. but did not seem much worried BY
that fact for he went out In IS and won

Owasco was Paul's afternoon opponent
and for the frs. nve holes the match was
a close one Then Case began to blow.
up and did the job SO thoroughly that
Paul for the second t!me ended his
match on the fourteenth green and won
by a ; n 4 margin.
The medall!st and Merton champion.
Sherwood. had to work hard to win
both of his matches. although neither OF
his opponents was expected to force him
TO his best efforts. c. Tiffany Rich
ardson tackled Sherwood nrst and car
rIed the P~hiladelphian all the way to
the home green. and Schuyler Van Vech-
ten OF Baltusrol did almost as well in
the afternoon. for he hung on to the

not look especially formidable TO either
OF them when he started out. but be

with his golf. Patterson won both
matches easily and feels At and ready 10
