Field Narrows Down.
The field that started out so bravely
on Saturday was narrowed down to
four survivors in each division before
the sun set this evening. +. {. Will
Jams. who won the gold medal III the
qualifying round, reached the semi
finals this afternoon, defeating {. r.
Watson. ir.. of Baltusrol in the morn
ing. by Q and /, and taking the meas
ure Of Roderick Terry, jr., Of Newport.
in the second round, by margin OF l
M in 10 holes. He will take on u. {.
Greenway, of Garden City, IN the semi
final tomorrow morning.
Greenway. incidentally, put out Hall,
Tiffany's conqueror, by up and 10
play. in the second round. The others
10 occupy the semi-hnal brackets in the
first sixteen were f. B. Schley. Somer-
set and Morton L. Fearey, Oakland,
and they will meet TO decide who sshai'
gain the final bracket in tho upper halt.
Tiffany and Hall attracted the major
norton of the gallery, partly because
Gilman P. has carved out ms golhng
career on Hudson River courses and
also owing to the fact that it was he,
two wears ago, who set the course rec
ord here at SIS. That, of course, was
before the links had been heightened
and numerous traps added, yet Tiffany
has the satisfaction of knowing that
the record he set will never be beaten.
The gallery felt that II anybody was
10 do something out of the ordinary 70
dav Tiffany would be the star to when
10 hitch its wagon. The golf was not
Of the soundest, certainly, but the men
were never far enough apart TO make
the eventual winner known until the
last putt had been holed, and competi-
ton is the life Of golf, as 1t IS OF trade.
Hall and his sturdy opponent went
along evenly enough for the nrst nine
holes. Tiffany being l up as they
started home. He had been eXperlene,,
ing trouble with his tee shots anu
found il hard to keep down the centre
of the fairways. His putting was also
shaky. and Halls was no better.
Goinc 10 the tenth. ellis drive was
sliced 70 the rough, whereas the Gar
dan civ man kent out of trouble and
won the hole. squaring the match. On
the short eleventh. both we're on the
Green in two shots. Hall being within
Six inches Of the cup and laying Tiffany
a nasty stymie. The Mohawk golfer
nutted boldly for the hole, but instead
Of getting around the stymie. knocked
Halls ball in for 3 ana required !
for the hole, leaving him down.
Tiffany Squares Match.
Tiffany proceeded to square the
match again az the twelfth, after HALL
had driven into the rough and vast
n stroke in getting back on the coursA .
The thirteenth was halyed, and on the
long fourteenth Tiffany drove into the
brook and sent his second out OF
bounds. He had eaten up SIX strokes
when Hall sank his last putt, ard tHen
Gil picked up, disgust plainly showing
on his face. o..
Tiffany again drew even on the ~
teenth. 81 yards, where he sank Ms
putt for a 3, one under par The siN-
teenth. only mashie pitch, was Hall
undoing. for after being short on his
tee shot. he overran on his second was
short on his third, and hashed the hole
up generally leaving Tiffany up
again. ....L d..
approach on the seventeenth, ana los,
/ that hole, bringing the match all
square going 20 the home hole. here
/ Tiffany had a chance TO end matters
| for he needed only three-foot for ms
4 and the match, but he missed, and the
hole was halved.
On the first extra hole both got into
trouble Tiffany dubbed his drive and
then pulled his second into the long
grass TO the left. Hall reached the
trap on his second. Before Tiffany
could find bis ball some we'll meaning
/ individual found Halls ball and picked
I il up. After Harry Vinal, the club
professional, had been called into con.
sultation, it was decided that Hal
should not lose the hole. but another
ball should be dropped in the bunker
They halyed the hole in and the 1eX'
/ in 4. and then Hall won the match on
the short twenty-irst, when Tiffany
was short on his approach, taxing a
to Halls good 3.
