By Ray Mccarthy

TO take the train out to Scarborough,
where they will see plenty of fine per-
formances - lively, closely contested
combats that have made the Sleepy
Hollow tournament this year one Of
the best of its kind ever held. The
semi-final and final round matches in
the championship division to-day
promise to furnish some exceptionally
good golf.
In one of the morning matches, Reg
gle Lewis, of the Greenwich club, who
is playing as of yore, will meet Gardi-
ner White, the we'll known Nassau
Dyer, of the Upper Montclair club,
whose play thus far has been simply
astonishing, will engage Dudley H.
Nudge, of st. Paul, the medalist of
the national cham ionship meet several
seasons ago.
Dyer's wonderful play both in the
morning and afternoon yesterday was
the outstanding feature of the whole
days merry whirl. He began by
trouncing T. V. Birmingham, of the
Wykagyl Club, who turned in a
splendid card of his own. Berming-
ham went out in 81, two over par, a
score OF considerable merit and gem
orally more than sufficient to win an
ordinary game.
But Dyer was not playing ordinary
golf in this issue. He was cracking
I them as an expert marksman rings the
bulls eye and went out in 49, He
abated this pace not a whit coming
back, so that the game ended abruptly
in favor of the Jerseyman shortly
after the turn, and 5.
Good Playing Unrewarded
Bermingham's was, indeed, sad
plight. We can imagine nothing more
eXasperatng than to have perfectly
good score shot to pieces by one that
verges on the phenomenal, or that is
at least better than perfect. This is
what Grant Rice means when he SAYS
par me~~5 nothing" Look at this
card and see for yourself the vain
chase that Birmingham NADER

In the afternoon Dyer took on Q. H
Paul and soon left him trailing far in
the rear. The Upper Montclair player
whaled lusty drives all the way round
drives that carried straight down the
alley and left him a chance for an easy
approach, which he generally made
Also his putting was we'll nigh flaw
| less.
Maxwell and Nudge had grand
! little tussle that went to extra holes
Maxwell had eliminated Hamilton
Kerr. of Greenwich in the morning
while Nudge had put out H. w. Howe
of Mt. klsco. The scores of both
matches were the same, and 8. Max
well won the tournament last year and
! i -
as he received yesterday, being forced
to 60 to the twentyfrst hole to defeat
Gardiner White in the semi-hnal.
Maxwell Starts Well
Maxwell began we'll and led his
opponent UP to the last hole, where
Nudge overlook him. They both Went
out in 81, Maxwell being 2 up at the
turn. Nudge won the tenth, but Max
we'll took the eleventh and after losing
the thirteenth won the fourteenth
But he lost the last two and was forced
to begin all over.
Both took three puts on the nine
teenth for IS On the twentieth Max
we'll was within six feet of the hole i,
2, Nudge ten feet. Maxwell putted an(
missed after Nudge had putted from
the edge Of the green; then the st
Paul player sighted the land CAREFUL,
and sank his clearly, ending the match
Their scores:
