White and Rice Bow
TO Anderson at Golf


do after this was to get half. and the
match ended.
In hi. morning round, against Cor
nelius Smith, jr., of Ardsley, Rice got
going like a streak, winning by ana
8. In spite of the fact that he missed
several puts, the Englewood member
went out in 80 and home in SO, for a
II, the lowest score made during the
day.
Sons of his tee shots sailed down
the course for 240 yards and his work
through the fairway was sound. Smith
tried to hang on, but the pace was too
fast and it was all over on the fifteenth
green. The bye holes were played out
and Rice came home in three strokes
over par.
Reid, who began the tournament far
from his best in the scoring line, was
in happier vein yesterday. In the
morning round he sent George T. Bro
kaw, the Ardsley favorite, down to de-
feat by margin OF up and TO 60,
and In the afternoon session took the
measure of Danbury Brandreth, OF
Sleepy Hollow, by 4 and 3.
Fine Work With Irons.
When Archie Is right, there are few
golfers in the Metropolitan district who
can take chances with him, and such
was the case yesterday. He did not
show any decided weakness in any de-
partment, his work with the irons being
particularly effective. In both of his
matches he started with a great burst
of speed and neither of his opponents
was able TO hold him.
1t was expected that Brokaw, who
has performed we'll before on his home
course, would put up stern resistance,
but the former Princetonian was un-
able TO do much with his old Yale op-
ponent, and the match ended on the
fourteenth green.
Topping, who has holed hits puts in
England, Scotland and at La Boulie,
was in scoring mood yesterday, and
as consequence his opponents suf-
fered the inevitable result. Appleton
Allen, of Baltus rol, gave up the fight
on the fifteenth green, beaten by 5
and margin. Frank II. Hoyt, of ST.
wanoy, was even more unfortunate and
went tumbling into the discard at 7 up
and to go.
In this match Topping, driving a long
ball and laying his approaches up in
deadly fashion, reached the turn in 80,
and started the inward journey at the
same heartbreaking pace. The veteran
Hoyt could not meet the younger mans
rush and dropped further and further
behind, the end coming on ne twelfth
green.
c. II. Brown, representing the Hud-
son River Country Club, and | ong
prominent in all competitions along
the stretch Of water that Hendrix
Hudson made famous, played fool-proof
golf In defeating G. L. Widmer, OF
Wyksgyl, at 2 and 1, and Amos Dwight,
Of Rumson, by the same margin.
Dwight Tenacious.
Brown found both his opponents dis
posed to give him serious argument,
and it was not until the long eighteenth
was almost in sight that ne was able
to lay them prone. Dwight was par
ticularly tenacious. and the match see
sawed along at dizzy pace.
Dwight had been one Of the un-
known quantities in the tournament.
surprising a lot of persons on the first
day by turning in 70 in the qualify
ing round. But Brown was not to be
denied yesterday, and his card showed
a fine rs, the bye hole being played out.
In the second sixteen, Arson F. Rob-
inson, who, in addition to attending
to all the details of running off q big
tournament, still found time TO play a
little golf, advanced 10 the semi-fnal
round in this division by taking two
matches. The first went by default,
NUT in the second round the chairman
Of the tournament committee defeated
Stanley P. limerick, another Hudson
River Country Club man. by up.
Robinson evidently believes that a
good drive is half the battle, for some
Of his tee shots skipped along for great
distances, and the eyes OF The caddle
fairly hung out or his cheeks as he
watched the fight of the guilty.
The semi-fnsl round matches are
scheduled TO start about 1890 o'clock
this morning, and there were few will
ing TO hazard a guess as 10 the winner
between Anderson and Reid In the
upper half Of the draw. II seems GER
tain that Anderson will have to tone
up his game by several notches, IL be
is TO triumph over Reid.
Topping is generally picked TO push
Brown aside in the other semi-fnal,
but nothing Is settled In golf until
the final putt has sunk TO the bottom
OF the little tin can that golfers call
the cup.
The winners in these two matches
will start the final round about 2
o'clock, and In the meantime, the han
