ScharH Is Beaten
After His Victory
Over Low Scorer

The vast army of metropolitan golf
ers that are herded on the links of the
Fox Hills Cold Club for the week end
IN that championship tournament con-
tinued the battle of the bunkers yes
terday in an elimination series. No
serious casualties were reported, but
a vcritable regiment OF players was
forced to withdraw from the scene by
nlghtfall. No fewer than six siXteens,
as we'll as beaten eights and others,
continued to struggle until dusk.
For one, W. Z. Donahue, who had
the honor of leading the contestants
home Thursday in the medal play with
his score Of "a, was put out of the rum
ming. He succumbed to the slashing,
long-range fire of Harry Scharff, a
youngster of the Scottish American
club. Scharf won by 2 up.
ponahue was moving along smoothly
enough until he neared the turn, when
ne became unsteady and dropped three
holes in succession. He got these back
and was running neck and neck with
his Scottish rival again when he was
laid stymie or the eighteenth hole.
Being one down and failing to get
round this obstacle to win the hole he
lOSU inc MatCn.
Scharf then had himself put out by
newcomer IN these parts-G. l. Law
yer. of Albany. Tom Boyd, the "pro"
at Fox Hills, says Lawyer looms up as
promising player and will bear scru-
tiny. Lawyer defeated Scharf by the
same score Scharf had downed Dona-
hue, up.
j. D. Newman and A. C. Perry, Of
Fox Hills, and Miller Jones, of Rich
mond County. were the others who
qualified for the semi-fnal round along
with Lawyer. SO it will be seen the
play of to-day will really be a COM
petition of Staten Islanders for the
Fox Hills honors
Newman won from W. w Van Loan
in the first round in a hard match, |
up, twenty holes, and defeated +. S.
Danforth, of North Fork, in the second
round, 8 and 2; Perry advanced by
virtue of his victories over T. D.
Conroy. Fox Hills, by 5 and and over
II. G. Buchanan, Shackamaxon, by the
same tally. Jones eliminated r. W.
Thompson. of the Engineers club. in
the first round and / and B. T. Al
len. the home player, in the second
round by 3 up.
A. l.. Walker, the Intercollegiate
champion, who is Competing in the see
feated Eddie briggs, of the Engineers
club, in the second round despite the
fact the latter went round in II. The
seni-fnal and final rounds will be
played to-day.
