Braid and Reekie Turn I'm
1876 for 80 Holes in Anna
teur-Pro Match at Tepafiy
By Raw Mccarthy

TENAFLY, NJ. j., May 1.-TWO bcn4
ME Scotchmen, each wearing the pop
ular name Of Willie, ran away with the
| amateur-pr professional competition of
the New Jersey State Golf Association
to-day on the course of the Knieker-
booker Country Club. Braid, the pro-
fessional of the Upper Montclar club,
and Reekie, the Jersey state amateur
ehamplon of the same club, were the
winning pair These two Scots com
blned TO turn in the scintiIlating score
of 1873 for thirty~six holes.
One Scot alone can be beaten at this
game of golf But two of them, who
have been trained in the old school on
the other side, are generally a winning
combination. Braid and Reekie teamed
so we'll yesterday in this interesting
best-ball meeting that they came home
with scores Of 70 and G8.
Their nearest opponents, four strokes
away, were Cyril Walker and Oswald
Kirkby, of the Englewood club. Walker
ana the former metropolitan champion
played beautiful golf the whole day.
In fact, they were leading on the morn
ing round with the fine score of SO.
! But that 68 of the winners settled mat
ters.
Callett Finishes Third
Another Scot. youngster by the
name of Francis Gallett, was very much
in the limelight. This lad won the
amateur championship of his home
land last year. He arrived few months
ago, turned professional, and is now
with the veteran George Low at Bal
tusrol. Gallett was paired with the
! capable E. NJ. Wild and bagged third
prize with tally of 145. He is ex-
pected to make q good showing in the
/ open championship play here to-mor-
row.
The Knickerbocker course, ore Of the
prettiest and best lay-outs in the state
was in splendid shape for the tourna-

from all of the contestants AS Marty

ing for the title tomorrow, said There
is no excuse for a man shooting poor
golf here but himself"
Braid and Reekie were hitting the

a hole the other was sure to be on.
