HOME TALENT WINS
ON LINKS AT DEAL
Kendall, Nathan, Jr., and
Kelley In Semi-finals Of In
vitation Golf Tourney.

Home talent made brave showing
in the first and second round matches
OF the invitation tournament at the Deal
Golf Club yesterday. As the situation
now stands. the survivors for the semi
finals to-day are II. c. Kayser OF the
Union County Country Club. Percy w.
Kendall, Alfred Nathan. Jr.. and John
E. Kelley The last three are Deal
! members
! Two good men met in the morning
when Kendall and Richard A. Haight
the Princeton far driver, fought 1t out
in the third bracket. AS usual, Kendall
was steady around the green's the Deal
man rarely taking more than two puts,
whereas Haight who was driving the
ball "a mile" discounted whatever adj
vantages he gained off the tee by an UNI
| certain short game. At the turn Kendall
stood / UP. having gone out in 80.
After the match ended on the sixteenth
| green, the pair played out the bye holes.
| Haights drive to the home hole struck
within "a few feet of the ditch guarding
| the green, which meant a carry of close
| to 400 yards.
The story of how L. G. Il. Riley, the
Fox Hills golfer. won the home hole in
| double figures from #. A tiaynor of
Apawamis will probably live long in
links history. These two were lighting
1t out in the first round of the chief
sixteen. and UP to the memorable homo
hole neither man had cause to make
apologies for his golf. Riley went out
| In Al and turned for home 1 up. Stand
ing on the eighteenth tee, where tho
! match stood all square. the Fox Hills
| man needed for an 81. while Gaynor
was about the same.
| Trouble Starts with Drives.
Trouble began with the drives Riley
pulling his tee shot to the vicinity OF
| the tennis courts, and his opponent
going a-wandering among the trees A
niblick shot got Riley back on the fsir-
| way, but only for moment, for his
\ next effort with spoon landed his ball
| plump into the water hazard which
| surrounds the green on three sides. Not
/ to be outdone, Gaynor reached the Same
moist zone on his third shot, and then
ensued an exhibition of aquatic golf the
like of which the oldest Deal golfer las
| no recollection of.
In a way, GaynorS golf was the more
| picturesque II not quite effective as
| the others The Apawamis man. among
other things, wore pair of spotlcss
| white trousers, and being DESTROYS Of
preserving their purity as we'll as colo;
| decided upon heroic measures Either
man might have dropped out OF the
water for a penalty stroke. bu. they
| determined to play the game as she
Is writ" though Gaynor proceeded to
| take what looked like an unfair al
vantage by rolling up the trousers to
a considerable altitude before wadirg in.
