audubon Golfer
in Best Form
at Southampton
Nelson Whitney Defeats c. /
Richardson by Wide
Margin.

Southampton, Long Island, Aug. 10
Continuing to play in his best form,
Nelson Whitney, of Audubon, won the
main trophy in the invitation golf
tournament on the National Links to-
day. He defeated c. Tiffany Richard
son. of the home club, g up and to
play, in the final round.
So far as the decisive match went
there never was an uncertain moment,
as Whitney won the first five holes in
good figures. Richardson developed
faulty direction at times, and after his
poor start the wonder was that he
managed TO carry the match so lar as
he did.
Out in 40, Whitney turned for home
3 up, and the best he allowed his op-
ponent thereafter was half at the
tenth. Winning the next three holes IN
par figures, the former Southern cham
pion settled matters at the thirteenth,
where his opponent twice got trapped.
The match of the day was fought out
in the early hours, when Whitney and
Philip Carter, of Bridgehampton met.
/ Two years ago the last named won this
/ tournament, but he lacked the neces-
sary steadiness to-day. After being !
down at the sixth Whitney won the
seventh and ninth, turning for home l
up, going out in 80.
Coming back Carter went wandering
/ occasionally, and when a ball finds the
rough here it means trouble. Whitney's
! direction was almost faultless and he
won by 2 and l. A 4 at the home
hole would have given him 70.
Those who had been in the game
nearly score of years ago took a
/ lively interest in the tilt between Her
I bert NJ. Hartman, of Piping Rock, AID
/ II. j. Whigham, of the National Links,
| in the final of the sixth sixteen.
Hartman won the U. S. G.. A. amateur
championship in 1899, while Whigham
! held the title two years prior to that
In the match to-day Hartman won
with a fine 4 at the home hole, his
margin being / up.
Oswald Kirkby, Of Englewood, the
Metropolitan champion, who came down
for the handicap, had the best gross
score, getting around in 81.
