BY INNS BROWN.

BY INNS BROWN.
BY way of proving that his sensa-
tional playing in returning a So for the
qualifying round was no flash In the
pan Jesse w. Sweetser. young Ardsiey
golf star, waltzed easily through his two
rounds of match play yesterday in the
Westchester county championship At
Apawamis. In the morning round he
eliminated A. w. Brand. a clubmate,
and for his afternoons work he dis
posed of c. v. Benton, Hudson River
star His score against the former
was and 8, while Benton was beaten
and s.
III addition to the continued high class
o: Swcetsers play the days contests de-
veloped more than one other rather un-
expected feature For one thing John
u. ANDERSON, Siwanoy sclntillant, win
ncr OF the last two tournaments staged
by the Westchester association, was
boosted right out Of the race in the Sec
Qua round of play. Anderson fell before
tho attack of Gaines Gwathmey Of Apa-
wants by score Of 3 and 2, after hav-
Ing eliminated one Apawamis entrant In
the first round in H. s. Graves.
Something Of surprise also was ex-
pressed when G. L. Conley of Siwanoy
took the measure of T. V. Birmingham
OF Wykagyl up Birmingham also lost

easily from II. L Phillips, O Siwanoy
player. by 8 and z in the first round
c. H. Paul of Gedney Farms was hardly
expected to beat Lee Maxwell. entered
from Siwanoy, but he did SO by q score
Of 2 and in the first round.
Getting back to the playing Of Swest-
ser. the youngster got away to q bad
thA Anf1 H -
tho nrst Ave holes he found himself
, down to Brand. But he rallied quickly,
ana by the time the match reached tho
tenth tee. he was 3 up. From there out
he set the pace straight through to the
finish.
Sweetser's Second Round Coed.
He didn't fritter away much time in
going after his match with Benton IN
the afternoon. He turned the first nine
holes in So, and was up at the finish
OF that half. He kept right ahead at
top speed and won the next four in a
row. having pair of As and a pair of
Us and ending the match two strokes
under IS. In commenting on his game
Benton stated that he sliced a drive on
the second. and pushed his tee shot to
the rough on the seventh. He didn't
miss any more. He barely missed holing
a 3 on the 612 yard ninth, and on two
other greens trimmed the cup for
"birdes"
The battle between Gwathmey and
Lewis in the morning was a hard fought
aHair, ending on the nineteenth hole
Lewis ran 35 in going out and turned
up on the home player But the latter
eVened things on the next two with
and 3 against pair OF 5s. He took
the lead by chipping in for 2 from just
on the green at the twelfth and gained
another on the fourteenth.
Lewis rallied and cut the lead to 1
on the sixteenth with a bird g. The
seventeenth was halved. Lewis took the
| eighteenth to even up again when
Gwathney topped his drive and eventu-
ally counted a s. On the first extra hole
Lewis vas short on his second and then
ran his third across the green. He
could do no better than ). Gwathmey
held the green with his second and holed
his second putt for 4.
Bermingham's Uphill Fight,
Birmingham was forced to make an
uphill fight throughout in his match with
Conley. The Siwanoy player won the
first. The next three were halved and
he increased his lead to by grabbing
the fifth and sixth with and against
4 and g. The seventh and eighth yielded
no advantage, but Birmingham cut his
handicap to two holes by winning the
ninth.
Conley promptly took the tenth, and
the next two were divided. Birmingham
registered against a 5 on the thir-
teenth, only to have Coney drop a
bird on the fourteenth, again stretching
his lead TO 3. He akidded a bit on
the next two and Birmingham promptly
81 pped past him with wins on both. re-
ducing the lead to a single hole. Tho
seventeenth was halved.
Birmingham missed nice opening on
the eighteenth. Conlcy half topped his
drive and took . TO reach the fiat
facing the green. Birmingham was we'll
over. and reached the green in 2. But
his approach putt was weak, and he did
not hole his next effort. Conley played a
fine mashie to the green and halved the
hole in 5 to win the match.
Anderson ascribed his defeat to
wretched work on the greens. His work
from tee to green was good, but he SIM
ply could not get his putter to working.
