match.
BY winning the ninth in par 20
Anderson's 3. Topping stood up. lie
did not rest content with this, how
ever, FOR on the tenth he got 4 to the
others 5. after slicing his drive TO the
rough,
The situation required desperate
measures on Anderson's part, and for
a time he rose 20 the occasion, getting
away beautiful drive. green high but
in the rough. Topping had been wild
or his tee shot and was in trouble
after playing the second which caused
| him to be still short Of the green on
[ his third Anderson settled all doubts
as to that hole by laying his second
dead to the pin and popped IN for
TO Topping's 3, and was only down.
over the pond and up the hill TO the
twelfth, Anderson sent his drive
straight up tn fairway. Topping
! dubbed his badly and the bail dumped
into the pond and the Greenwich man
had 10 drop another ball for a penalty
stroke, making II easy for Anderson
to win IN to ..
Chance for Anderson.
Only one down now, Anderson's
chances looked more promising, es-
pecially after Topping topped his drive
on the short thirteenth. Anderson was
dead to the pin on his second, but then
/ the other holed a twenty-footer Tor
half IN g. The fourteenth was halVed
in 4, after Topping had sneaked around
q difficult half stymie.
Both took midirons for the short tit-
I teenth. but Anderson's ball struck the
green and ran over into the long grass
a. the back. Topping laid his ball dead
/ ten feet from the pin. The Slwanoy
representative got out well snd stopped
/ two feet short Of the cup but then Top
ping sank his 10-footer for and
/ stood . UP going 70 the sixteenth.
Anderson's cup of woe brimmed over
| al this stage, for he sliced his drive
| badly. the ball coming TO rest under
/ the low hanging boughs OF an apple,
with a lofty chestnut tree, wide gully
and small mountain making a
hopeless stymie between II and the
hole. Seeing his one chance, Anderson
/ took a full swing. and the ball shot out
/ Of the woods, only 70 strike limb OF
the tree and land At the bottom Of the
/ gully. A brilliant third enabled him to
reach the edge Of the green, but II was
/ hopeless.
Topping, who had driven straight,
/ laid his second we'll on the green, his
/ third eighteen inches from the cup and
/ sank his fourth, winning the match.
! Brown began well against Topping in
the morning. winning the second hole
and being , down at the turn. The
Greenwich golfer was not to be trifed
with, however, getting ten fours and
one three in the last eleven holes Of
the match, and il was no wonder Brown
bowed in defeat.
Witness with the wood and his irons
spoiled all chances Reid might have
had against Anderson in the other
semi-hnal match. and 1t was no trouble
for the latter 20 end matters on the
fifteenth.
