Dean Plays Well
Dean played we'll in defeating G. l.
Conley, of Siwanoy, and ), the Prince
ton golfer going out in 80. which in
cluded at the second hole and a
at the third. Cooke also surprised his
TRENDS by defeating James c. Parrish,
Jr., the well-known National Links
golfer, by wide margin.
Although Marston always had the
better of the argument in his match
with W. G. Smith, neither of them
played as we'll as usual. Fortune
smiled on the home golfer at the ninth
hole down the hill. where the BaItusrol
man stood q up. The last named
thought he had half there until his
opponents ball on long putt car
romed off Marston's rubber core into
he cup. That left Smith winner
there, 8 to a.
Marston took 41 to the halfway
point. The former New Jersey cham.
pion was dorme 3 standing on the six
teenth tee, so that half in there
left HIM winner. 3 to 2.
Despite the fact that White, in his
match with A. H. Johnson. won by q
wider margin, the early stages of tho
contest were more of a see-saw affair.
The Garden City man started badly,
losing the first when his opponent
brought off ffteen-foot putt for
on the first green.
At the next, however, il was White
who brought off the long putt, eighteen
feet or so, after a drive out of bounds.
hey halved in 4 there, and White
squared matters with a at the fifth,
and became l up a little later when
Johnson, going to the sixth, sliced his
second shot.
A missed chip shot at the next gave
that hole TO Johnson, but White won
the eighth in bird" and the ninth
IN 8, so that he turned for home up.
lie went out in &c. After that boia
men putted badly, but a at the four
teenth left White the winner. The
bye holes were not played.
