at 5 o'clock yesterday victor over
J. w. Hughes, also Field veteran,
one up.
A large gallery followed the pair
over the entire course. Hughes led
| up over the morning round. Both
handled their clubs faultlessly.
Hughes barely leading his ambitious
opponent in a see-saw game up to
the 18th hole. Here he blew a put
and the match "kitted"
Young played perfect game.
Every drive, every putt counted. On
the approaches the playing was so
excellent that the pair drew almost
constant applause. At the 18th
green Hughes bungled putt and
Young, taking advantage of the
opening scored on three strokes
He held steady to the finish being
tied for the eighteenth.

"Wally" Shepard sprung a sur-
prise by beating Guy Beckett, Sey-
mour Lakes former state champion.

Shepard; Peters against Reynolds.
Magee and Koch Win.
For time storm threatened to
undue the program in the last
rounds of the championship melee.
But the clouds cleared and the
games were finished. In the pres
dents round, Magee and Koch came
away toppers, having in turn de-
feated O'Niell and Higgins. The
latter was rated as considerable golf
player, so Koch's chance with Magee
is good. Koch defeated Higgins, S

daring chance artist, was the whole
show in the secretary's flight. Early
Thursday morning Redheld am
nounced to his comrades he was
going to "clean the greens" and he
did. He defeated T. F. Murphy and
