The jinx of winning the qualifying
medal, or the Indian sg." which A. S,
Bourne, of the National Link, is sup
posed to hold over the head of Grant
Peacock, proved fatal to the latter in
the final of the Cherry Valley invita-
zion golf tournament yesterday after
noon. For Peacock who is rated as
being the superior of Bourne on the
links and who was counted sure win
ner of the trophy. was beaten by a
score of up and 8 10 play.
Poor golf and the Indian sign are
an unbeatable combination. That is
what the home club player had TO con-
tend against in his final stand, and he
Topped with loud thud.
'Tis strangs how this thing works out
Once upon 4 time Bourne, who had
never won q tournament before. de-
feated Peacock in a friendly little
game somewhere on a course in the
Thousand Islands. And it seems az
though he can repeat every time now.
In any event Bourne, playing 6 fn5
game, was able to win the main prizs,
handily from the Cherry Valley Clu$
star, who did not play so finely. o.

to hold his own and make the turn ass
even. But coming in supremely corz
fident Bourne moved along the straigsS
and smooth pathway, while Peacos<
roamed all over the lot, and, as cor,
sequence, lost four holes in succession
and the match.
For instance, on the very first hole
the home club player took three puts,
while Bourne, although he fubbed his
second shot, won the hole by placing
his third within seven feet of the cup
and getting q par A. On the second
hole Bourne half topped his drive, and
yet managed to halve in as Peacock
again took three puts.
Peacock squared the match at the
fourth where Bourne. after slicing his
drive, messed up several more shots
and didn't reach the green until he
had played five. Peacock was on in
three. The former Princetonian also
captured the fifth, getting a par a,
while Bourne was taking an extra
putt.
Bourne got back on ever. footing with
his adversary at the seventh hole,
where Peacock played into trap on
his second shot and took q four.
Bourne. managed to remain on even
terms for the outgoing trip by sink
irg q putt of twenty-five feet on the
ninth.
Coming in, Peacock wavered on the
tenth hole and then went to pieces
completely. He began by driving the
rough. while his third was short of
the green and in the end his count was
6. Bourne had S.
AT the eleventh Peacock was again
short of the green on his second, and
required to his opponents q. Two
down. Came the twelfth, where he
went to 8 down by clubbing his second
badly and taking 6 to Bourne's s.
Peacock was short once more at the
thirteenth, and his approach putt was
although he halved the fourteenth and
fifteenth, his efforts avai!ed nothing
whatsoever.
In the morning Bourne defeated Alex
Calder. of the home club, in easy man
ner by score of 5 and q. The result
was more or less of surprise, mas
much as many had figured Calder to
round. Peacock encountered S. Knapp,
Of the Sleepy Hollow Club. in the
morning and won handily by up and
s TO play.
Arthur Gardiner, of the Cherry VAL
ley Club, Yale student. won the hon
ors in the second fight, defeating Dick
Haight, Of Princeton, by 2 and l in a

ner's score of 79 incidentally was the
best gross tally in the medal handicap
play, but it availed him nothing. be-
cause he won the prize in the second
division.
