BRIDGEPORT. June 5.-With six
championship matches carried to the
home green, or beyond, interest never
Jagged throughout the first and second
rounds of the Metropolitan Golf Asso-
citation tournament at the Brooklawn
Country Cub to day A. l.. Walker, jr.,
the Richmond County lad who won TIE
qualifying medal, was one of the fortu-
mates to save himself in the home
green, defeating IL. X. Kerr, of Green
wich.
Kerr had flashed to the fore few
hours earlier by removing John G.
Anderson after the Siwanoy captain
had been 3 up. On the other hand.
such we'll known performers as Max
Marston, Gardiner White, Oswald Kirk
by, the title holder, and D. E. Sawyer
came through.
AS the situation now stands the sur
vivors will meet in the third round as
follows Marston VS.. White, Walker
VS.. Carhart, Benton VS.. Kirkby, Stod-
dard VS.. Sawyer.
The supporters Of White were kept
guessing in the morning. when his
opponent, Grantland Rice, started out
like champion. SO steadily did the
Englewood man play chat he had White
2 down at the turn, Rice going out
IN 80. White drew level at the eleventh
and later on was aided by stymies
After winning the sixteenth he became
up, and at the next made him
a winner. Later White defeated Cor
nelius J. Sullivan. the Metropolitan As
sociation president, at the sixteenth.
Marston had nothing but praise for
Harris B. Fem, his first round oppo-
net from Ridgewood. BY going out in
SO Fem gained a lead of up, but he
could not maintain the pace coming
back. The Baltusro man became .one
up at the sixteenth and settled mat
ters with at the next.
That match apparently placed Mars
ton right on edge for w. Parker See
ley, Brooklawn's main hope Only one
over As for eight holes, the former New
Jersey champion stood up there He
lost the ninth with a 4, but turned for
home up, having made the outward
half in 81 to the others Al. From
there on halves resulted except at the
twelfth, which Seeley won. pair of

Young Walkers opponents kept him
busy both morning and afternoon j. D.
Chapman, of Greenwich, his first an
tagonist developed the happy faculty
OF running down long puts 1t was
that kind of golf that won the tenth
and eleventh for Chapman, thereby
placing the forme, interscholastic
champion one down. Walkers fine
long game told in the end, the match
ending at the sixteenth.
1t remained for Hamilton K. Kerr.
however, to almost cast CONSERVATION
in the Walker camp. 1t was a case of
all square at the turn. Later, the
Greenwich man became down, but
drew level by winning the fifteenth
and seventeenth holes
To the home hole Walker had an in
different drive, but a long iron from
the rough landed his ball hole high
back of the mounds. In the meantime,
Kerr half topped his second shot, the
ball stopping 40 yards short of the
green. He was again short of the hole
on his third and missed going down in
the next. But not so Walker, who
brought off an eight-foot down hill
putt in bold style, to win the hole in
and the match by l up. He had 10 to

CAPT. KAYE, "ACE,"
REACHES NEW YORK
Columbus Hero OF Air And Other
Famous Fighters Land In The
L. 5. A.-Coming Home.

NEW YORK, May 3l.-The ia
nous Ninety Fourth Aera Squadron
came into port today, the group Of
Aces" OF which Captain Eddie Rick
enbacher was "ace high" Among
the unit, which had seventeen officers
and l79 men when il landed from
the naval transport Louisville at Ho-
boken today, was one Of Mississippi's
sons, Captain Samuel Kaye Of Colum-
bus, Miss Captain Douglas Camp
bell, the First American ace, was at
the pier 10 greet his fellow officers
and tomorrow Captain Eddie Ricken-
bacher will arrive from indianapolis,
where he is today at the automobile
races Captain Kaye came back with
the Distinguished Service Cross with
an oak leaf pinned on his tunic, for
twice he was cited by the American
general-in-chief, and the French
Croix dc Guerre, with a palm for his
war work. He has four planes Off
cially to his credit and is credited
with seven unoffcially, and has made
l50 flights over the German lines.
Twice the brave flyer has been
brought down by the Germans, but
both times he managed TO get back
to his own lines before the crash
came, Never wounded, his life has
been charmed one and today he
spoke depreciatingly of his exploits
After the armistice Captain Kaye
went with others into Germany with
the Army of Occupation and while
there essayed flights with the Ger
man planes as well as our best Ameri-
can de Haviland fours.
IL found the German Fokkers not
as fast as the American planes" he
said, land not equal in sweeping
down on foe and then quickly ris-
ing 10 make the getaway. On the
other hand, the German planes are
superior when it comes to maneuver-
ng ia the air."
Naiaw Reed Chambers, Of Memphis,
Tenn, came back in charge Of the
Ninety Fourth Aero Squadron today
and he has the ID. S. c. with three
oak leaves, the Legion of Honor
Cross and the Croix de Guerre, with
two palms and two stars.
Captain Kaye went into the aero
service in November, 1917, and after a
short training here he went TO France.
He trained with the Ninety Fourth
and went to the front with them and
to their credit was the first Boche
plane brought down inside the Amer
lean lines The Ninety Fourth had
eight aces to its credit, the highest
number in any American air squad
ron, and lost nineteen flyers killed
while attacking enemy positions.
