match play run on yesterday w. L.
Richards Pierre Proal c. II. Jennings
and A. e. Ranney are the survivors
from the original field who still carry
the possibility of o,rerging from the

the New York Athletic Club. This quar-
tet resumes hostilities this morning with
Richards pitted against Proal and Jen-
nings meeting Ranney In the semi-f1nal
round. The final will be staged m the
afternoon.
Richards. who walked away with first
honors in the qualifying round on Thurs
day, managed to get away from the
jinx in his two rounds. In the initial
clash of the day he took a fairly easy
match from Max b. Kaesche. Jr.. win
ming and 2. The youngster was unable
to make the winner extend himself.
Then in the second round. Richards
made his finish even stronger by bump
ing Ralph SPOTS out of the picture by a
margin Of and 4.
Taking a lead on the first hole, Rich
ards led all the way. He scored the first
nine holes in IS, which was good enough
to shove him into a lead of six holes.
SPOTS was unable to win a single hole
up to this stage of the going and halved
but three. However he rallied for a
brief interval on the second nine, taking
ming the eleventh, when Richards got
into trouble and took 6 for the hole.
The latter won the long thirteenth over
the gorge and the match ended on the
, next green, where they drew halves In 4.
ProaI Beats Hamilton.
While Richards came through success
fully, L. A. Hamilton, the Garden City
campaigner. who took second honors on
Thursday, was passed out of the fracas.
He won his morning match with Wesley
VI. Oler, Jr.. getting the verdict l UP.
Oler had all the better of the first nine
i holes. finishing that half 3 up. But
shortly after the turn Hamilton began
to crowd up and by dlnt Of some very
! fine putting and approaching won out.
But in the second match Hamilton fell
before Pierre A. Proal.' the Deal Golf
Club regular. This pair fought a neck
and neck fight from start to finish. They
i were all even as they drove off for the
, fourteenth hole. Hamilton won this.
! But Proal retaliated by taking the If
| teenth. Again Hamilton got the ad-
vantage, when he counted n par 3 on
the sixteenth. Proal missed four foot
! putt for A half. Proal won the seven
/ tenth, where Hamilton was short on his
second shot, and barely reached the
| to Proal. 10 s. also Both were on in
2, but Hamilton's approach putt stopped
! five feet short of the cup and he failed
! to get his 4.
! c. II. Jennings came through his two
matches with flying colors. In the fore
noon he disposed OF A. NJ. Morris, and
/ 2. In the afternoon he got away to a
flying start on Capt. s. NJ. Milliken and
the latter fought futile uphill fight all
the way. TIE winner played very good
: golf. scoring 80 for the round, possibly
( the best exhibition yet shown in the
tournament. He took Al for the first
nine holes. but his opponent was very
erratic on the first six holes of the
match and Jennings played lead of
three holes at the turn.
On the second nine Jennings was
guilty OF but few misplays. After they
had halved the tenth In 5, he won the
eleventh 5 to and took the twelfth
with par 3. Both took on the tough
, thirteenth. They scored a half In 3 at the
I fourteenth, ending the match. The two
played out the bye holes, and Jennings
! finished the nine holes with IS.

! Eddie briggs, former Princeton foot
/ ball star, emerged a winner after a
| hard finish with Theodore Cassabeer in
the first round. winning on the TWEEN
| tieth green. But in the afternoon he
! fell rather easy victim to A. T. Ran
! ney. The latter had beaten Arthur Me-
Aleenan. Jr., 4 and 3, in the forenoon
and repeated that score at the expense
of briggs in the second round The VIC
! tor played steady, consistent golf. scor-
ing around so for his medal round
