by INNS BROWN
Champion Davy Heron. the robust
pfttsburg golfer, did a steam roller act
on the opposition thrust into his path
way in the tussle for top honors In the
Piping Rock invitation golf tournament
yesterday. The first two rounds of
match play were settled, and In each
test the new king Of amateur linksmen
romped home to comparatively easy vic
tories, in spite Of the fact that he was
called on TO meet brace of players in
The two rounds calculated to offer an
Interesting argument for most any form
OF opposition.
In the morning round he took on
Archie Reid, product OF st. Andrews
and son of the father of American golf.
Reid, who has seen considerable mill
tary activities in th.. last three years,
was making his first local tournament
appearance of the season. He wasn't
equal to the task of tanning the husky
champion. but he mustered enough of
his old skill to make the round maintain
considerable of the elements of COM
bat. The champion eventually won out
by count of and l. Heron pealed
off IS for this round.
In the afternoon Heron encountered
Grant Peacock. former college mate at
Princeton and fellow club mepber at
Oakmont. Times have been when the
former Princeton hockey star could
make big Davy extend himself to the
limit of his golfing repertory to pull in
the verdict, but yesterday was not one
Of those days. The boss walloper of the
amateurs was quite on his game from
tee to green and once on the putting
surface welded his club with consider
able effect not to say brilliance and
eclat.
Heron Takes Early Lead.
He lost no time in takingofr to a lead,
and once he got out in front Peacock
waged a futile struggle to even get
abreast of his opponent again. AS usual
the champion was smashing the little
ball from ESQ to 275 yards along the
fairways from the tees. And but rarely
did he fail to keep In on the close
cropped turf With the best he had In
stock Peacock could rarely hope to keep
within less than twenty or thirty yards
of his opponent. and 1t was a battle
for him 10 splice up his efforts so as to
reach the green on even terms. even
when he found no traps, bunkers or
other hindrances
Heron Clipped off a bird on the
first hole, though he took three shots
to reach the green. He pulled his second
TO the rough, but hoed a single putt
after chipping on. The third was an
other winning hole for Heron. when
Peacock toyed around and took three
puts after both drove the green. A
misdirected second landed Peacock IN
the rough on the fourth hole, and he
dropped that when Heron slapped his
second on and counted his l.
Peacock took the fifth in par & Her
ron's second ran across the green into
trap and his out ran so far past the
cup that he missed his coming back
Peacock laid a long approach putt close

Gardner White and George A. Dixon
Jr.. brought their argument right along
TO the home green. In spite of the fact
that White was launching some terrific
drives from the tee he was unable to
get an edge or even hold his own on the

golf, scoring 80 for the first nine holes.
