HILTON SHOWS
THE WAY TO
YOUNG GOLFERS
Long Hitting Aids Boy in
Getting a rs at
Englewood.

Vincent X. Hilton, the young Green
witch golfer, who led the field at
Englewood yesterday in the Metro
politan Junior championship, shows
promise of future greatness. Although
only nineteen he is six feet tall, built
in the Oswald Kirby-Max Marston
mould, and is able to get fine distance
with free, easy swing.
He travelled around Englewood in
rs strokes despite the fact that he
had never seen the course before and
lost several puts on the slopng
greens. His PLAY with both wood and
iron was impressive, as he was driving
steadily from 900 to $50 yards and
very rarely off the proper line. The
ease with which he gets distance and
the crispness of his iron play indicate
a promising future. He won his first
match by the margin of 6 up and 5
20 play.
Hilton IS not a newcomer in this
event, and was runner-up TO Carter at
Plainfeld in 1914. He il rapidly ap-
preaching the age debarment limit,
and he knew that if he wished to gain
the title which Father Time has taken
from Carter. this years tournament
was the golden opportunity.
Fortyfour youths teed up at En-
glewood in the quest for the title,
some surprisingly tall and some still
more surprisingly small At the end
of the qualifying round it was no
ticed that the boys had arranged their
scores almost in the order of their
respective heights. Hilton leading,
with his 7S, followed by Harry Scharf,
of the New York Golf Club, half an
inch shorter, and, consequently. six
strokes behind The card of the med
allist was rather peculiar in that he
failed to get q single 3 on any OF the
short holes. He complained that he
was not getting much distance off the
tees. but, from the reports of his
caddie, & poor drive for him is two
brassies and a midiron for the other
players
His approach work was steady and
his putting was working on regula-
ton schedule, except on the sixth,
thirteenth and eighteenth holes,
where he took three strokes before
his recalcitrant ball could be per-
suaded TO sink from sight into the
cup. His card was as follows:
Out "a . ...:::....: 1855 IS ssss-7s
There was a play-off at 90 for the
honor Of being in the championship
division. and when Frank X. English,
of New Haven, elected to play his
second shot out Of bounds. he automat-
ically lowered himself into the second
eight. as the other three players in the
tie contented themselves with remain
ing on the land prepared for them by
the greenkeeper.
Although many Of the junior part
ners in the family pairs that took lead
ing parts in the "Pater ct Filius" tour
nament, at Sleepy Hollow appeared al
Englewood, they did not accomplish as
much minus the able assistance of
their parents. DevereuX Emmett. jr., OF
Garden City. who aided and abetted
his father in winning first prize at
Sleepy Hollow, was relegated to the
second division and beaten in the first

The semifnal and final rounds will be
played to-day.
