All in all the days play was grand
y mixture of surprises and close and ex-
y citing matches. Four of the contests

extra holes, and the majority of the

& enteenth green at least was reached.
Johnny Anderson, who won the quail
ifying medal on Wednesday, continued
I his good work yesterday and defeated
two crack players in working his way
to tbs round before the semi-final.
Young eeter Harmon was Anderson's s
first Victim. Harmon is one of the
best shot makers competing for the
,n Of this lad in time.
& Lacking in Experience
At present Anderson is bit lacking
In experience. He has tendency to
play somewhat too rapidly, due prob
ably to the fact he plays considerably
! with the professionals. In this his
game is quite a contrast to most of
. the other amateurs, who are too de-
liberate IL anything.
Yesterday Harmon, rushing along,
missed many easy chances on the
greens. Anderson, on the ether hand,
vas putting finely all the way and
making everything count. Anderson
got the lead at the very outset when
he clipped in from off the green on the
first hole for q birdie 8, and main
tanned his advantage practically all the
! way. He was out in 80 to Harmon S
10 and was l up at the turn.
Harmon, struggling gamely, even
after he became 2 down, finally caught
his opponent on the seventeenth
- the eighteenth, where Anderson had .
ten-foot putt to make for half. The
Siwanoy star came through nicely and
then went to the twentieth hole, where
he won out.
In the afternoon, playing in the
same steady, top-notch form, Anderson
eliminated William Donahue, OF the
Shackamaxon Club, by 2 up and l to
