wind blew steadily across the courss
the entire day, making good golf prac.
tically impossible. Consequently. ma
brilliant scores were turned in.
But nobody cared much about th.
scores. The fact that it was the Art
match, that the golf season had finaii,
arrived and that they could get out on
the links once more to help the plough.
man plough the field. all served to crs..
ate considerable interest in the plav
and to attract a large gathering.
The interest," of the gallery was cen.
tered in the individual match between
A. Lucien Walker jr., present intercol-
legiate champion and captain Of the
Columbia team, and A. c. Perry, Of
Fox Hills. After a strenuous round Of
nineteen holes Walker managed to win
from the Staten Islander by l up. This
tussle was easily the best of the day.
Good golf. mixed with plenty Of poor
play by both contestants, served To
make it a give-and-take affair, with
the result always in doubt.
Walker Off in Front
Walker by performing in mid-season
form got away to flying start, win
ming the first three holes. However.
beginning with the fourth he began
to slump, and by the time the turn
was reached he was again on even
terms with Perry. The Columbian
settled down to his game once more
and by holding a fairly steady line
obtained the advantage of 2 up. At
the seventeenth Perry was dormie 2.
But then Walker slipped again and
lost the last two holes.
Thus they were all even at the
finish Of the regulation round. They
played an extra hole, and Walker by
good golfing made a par 8 and won
the match.
