Conley, Anderson and New.
ton Lose Their Matches
in Victory Cup Tourney

Westchestcr County golfers have
matters pretty much to themselves as
result of the first and second round
matches in the Victory Cup tournament
on the links Of the Siwanoy Country
Club yesterday. Of the thirty-two
qualihers, C. E. Van Vleck, jr., of
Greenwich, is the only remaining rep
resentative from a different zone. IN
cidentally it proved a rough day for
ner; John G.. Anderson and f. c. New
ton being among those brushed aside.
Conley got his walking papers early
at the hands of j. w. Sweetser, the
seventeen yearold Ardsley golfer, who
appears to have the makings of
champion.
In the afternoon Sweetser, making
hash of the first hole, promptly be-
came one down to w. ii. Follett, of
Fox Hills. The last named, although
considerably out driven, made a good
fight for the irst half of the iourncy,
winning the ninth hole in 9, which
left him only one down at the turn.
Sweetser then captured four of the
next five holes and the match
Anderson defeated A. j. Mendcs,
club mate, in the morning.
For a time Anderson had the advan-
tage over Reginald Lewis in the after
noon, being l up at the fourth They
were square at the turn, both having
gone out in 41. Lewis stood l up at
the eleventh, which he won in 3, but
when the Wykagyl representative
pulled his drive behind the trees An
derson had visions of squarng the
match fine recovery, however, got
Lewis to the green's edge, and he sup
plemented that by chipping in with a
mnshie for 3, thereby winning a hole
that a moment before appeared lost
T. Y. Birmingham, several times
champion of Wykagyl, after winning
handily in the morning, had to take on
Newton, the Brookline man, who has
been Winning tournaments this sum-
mer.
Birmingham, with 3 at the ninth,
went out in 80 and turned for home 2
up. He played par golf from there in
and won on the sixteenth green.
Van Week won a nervy match in the
early hours. after being 5 down to
G: II. Paul, with only seven holes to
play. Those last seven were won in a
row by Van Week, who captured the
match by 2 up.
Lee Maxwell won both his matches
easily. as did S. R. Hollarder. who sur
prised H. l.. Phillips, a Siwanoy club
