interesting one to watch all the way.
Herreshof was far better on the tee. but
\ Pauls good shots up 10 the pin more
than made up for the advantage
gained by the Garden city golfers long
driving. Herreshoff lost the first hole
and became . down at the ffth. but
made up one hole by taking the long
ninth and so turned for home only |

fourteenth the Garden City man Went
| ahead. but topped his next drive and lost
his advantage. Two halved holes fol-
lowed and Paul won the match on the
home green when Herreshoff missed an
easy putt for a half.
Patterson. although outdriven from
every tee. stuck to his tas game.y and
kept Sherwood working all the way,
several times the Philadelphia gained
n big lead. but Patterson refused TO stop
fighting and hung on until the seven
