ATLANTIC CTR. N. j.. Oct. Is
Corporal George Hoffner won both his
matches In the autumn golf tournament
at the Country Club OF Atlantic City
to-day. The soldier, who In now sta
toned at Camp Meade. had hard time
taking the measure OF c. II. Maxwell,
one OF the best Of the Trenton golfers.
Maxwell. who was never up. got the
match level at the sixteenth, only to
lose the next. To the eighteenth Max
well got bunkered, but even 20 haived
the hole. which left him one down.
Hoffner made the round In 81.
In the afternoon Hoffner met Maurice
Risley Of the home club. Risley won
the tournament here In the spring. but
his short game thiS afternoon lacked his
usual deadliness. A high cold wind.
which frightened the muscles. doubtless
had much to do with the slips made
by both players
Risley reached the turn up and v
wasn't until the thirteenth that Hoffner
got the match square. with 3. one
stroke under par. Risiey messed up
the fifteenth and sixteenth holes. los
ing both and becoming down A
half in 5 at the next left Hoffner a
winner and I. Hoffner made the
inward nine In 80.
r. w. Knight q Victor.
r. w. Knight, the Aronimink mar
who won the medal yesterday, took
Thomas Conroy Of Fox Hills into
camp in the first round, thus atoning
for the Shawnee reverse a fortnight
ago. Later on knight proved too
much for the Rev. Aquilla Webb OF
North Hills.
Alec Coles. the Shawnee winner. had
to go to the home green to win over
r. w. Harper Of Trenton. This places
Coles in the upper semi-final bracket
against Knight. The other survivor
o. the day, w. c. Baldwin Of North
Hills, was twice forced to the home
green
In the second division one Of those
to come through safely was Charles L.
