The contest was the second half of a
neyenty-two hole tilt. the first half of
which, played the previous week on the
Cherry Valley links. left Peacock and
Mcnamara leading by no less than up.
1t had been confidently predicted by the
golfers of Great Neck that tho second
half of the match would see the posi-
tons of the two teams reversed. In
stead of losing ground. however. the
Cherry Valley pair added two holes to
the already impressive total as a result
or the first eighteen holes, and holding
their opponents even on the outgoing
nine In the afternoon. took the honors
OF the first Long Island amateur profess
sional tournament by the convincing
score OF II and 9.
Hopes OF a turning of the tables were
raised in The Great Neck breasts when
the home pair carried off the opening
hole by virtue of their handicap stroke.
On the next. however, Peacock sank n
iong putt for birdie and on the 20
yard third Mcnamara cut par by a
stroke with a T. That made Cherry VAL
ley up on the day and 10 up on the
match. There was no change to the
turn, but coming back Peacock and Nc
Namara raised their lead to IL by taking
both the tenth and eleventh.
The twelfth at Great Neck is another
long hole. Mcnamara, who was driving
tremendous ball. won II In A. All the
way in after this everything was halved
up to the eighteenth, which Mclean, the
Great Neck professional. won in 8. lay
ing his second dead.
AS they had done In the morning, the
Great Neck pair won the first hole OF
the second round on their stroke only
to lose the second hole. A birdie 3 gave
Mclean and Rockwell the fourth, but
the next saw Cherry Valley with the
honors. From here to the end every
thing was halved. The best ball cards :

Those stalwarts OF the British golt

Jack Bowling OF Scarsdale over thirty

playing the first three holes in eigh,
strokes. This time il was Ray that had
the rest. Ted's card being figured at
about 7S in medal play due to some bad
