Simpson Dean, Princeton's heavy
weight champion golfer, who started
his seasons work on the links auspi-
ciously a week ago by winning the
medal at Trenton, won the final Of the
annual spring tournament here to-day.
His victim on this last round was young
Joseph G. "Laddie" Mcmahon, of the
Sleepy Hollow club, who holds the
Metropolitan Junior championship.
The margin of victory was 3 up and
2 to play. Besides winning the tour
nament, Dean also won the qualifying
medal, having defeated Percy Kendall
in the play-off of the tie yesterday.
Mcmahon, though beaten, showed
himself an improved and capable per-
former. The Sleepy Hollow youngster
demonstrated that he is about ready
to step out of the junior ranks and
to compete for senior honors.
Made Fatal Mistake
This quality of gameness, though,
Mcmahon has always possessed. 1t
was the best part of his game last sea-
son in his fight for the junior title.
Had he not made the mistake of trying
to keep pace with the longdriving
Dean from the tee the Westchester
golfer would have stood better chance
Ol CUG IlLCSlOuldA.
The Nassau student was hitting
tremendously long ball from the tee,
and Mcmahon, consequently, got to
pressing. His game suffered as a re-
suit, and he was in constant trouble
on the first nine holes. He lost the
first, the fourth. the fifth, the sixth
and the eighth holes and apparently
was hopelessly beaten. But it was just
at the turn that the lad showed his
mettle.
He braced, and by good golf won the
ninth. Then lie captured the tenth and
the eleventh, and stood only 2 down to
his opponent.
But Dean took hand at that point
and won hole for himself at the
twelfth by playing fine golf. At the
thirteenth Mcmahon roamed all over
the lot and became a down again.
However, by getting a fine two at the
fifteenth, where he holed out from off
the green, he managed to prolong the
issue to the sixteenth hole.
Had Advantage in Driving
The Westchester lads short game
and his putting were the equal of
Deans and were responsible for keep
ing him in the running to the sixteenth
hole. But the big Albanian had dis
tinct advantage in driving, and through
this was able to romp home with the
spoils. He is playing fine golf at pres
ent, and if he continues should go far
in all tournaments in which he COM
petes this season.
The cards of Dean and Mcmahon in
the afternoon match were as follows:

McMahon's margin of victory over
Yates was 2 up. This was an interest
ing, well-played match Mcmahon got
off well in the morning, winning the
first hole with a par a. They halved
the next and Yates took the third.
And so it went to the turn, where Nc
Mahon was 1 up. Both were out in 40.
Mcmahon Wins Twelfth
Despite a lost ball on the twelfth
Mcmahon won the hole by playing
three perfect shots. He won the seven
teenth and became dormie, and then
he won the eighteenth and the match.
Dean played fully as well in the
morning. as he did in the afternoon.
His victim on this round was P. S. P.
Randolph, and the score of the match
was and /. Randolph played ex-
ceptionally we'll in keeping stride with
the sturdy Princetonian. He was out
in 40 to Deans 80, and was only one
down at the turn. Dean had z at
the ninth.
Coming home, though, the Tiger
golfer performed steadier and was able
to end the struggle at the seventeenth.

of the second sixteen, beating F. X.
