johnny Anderson, of the Siwanoy
Country Club, is back in the golfng
llmelight How long he remains in
tnat position depends upon how well
ms game goes. Yesterday in the semi
linal and final rounds of the Fox Hills
invitation tournament, he played we'll
nents, w. F. Follett, on the semi-final
round by the score of / up in twenty
holes, and young J. G.. Mcmahon, by
q and on the final. Thus did John
carry away the main prize.
Laddle" Mcmahon, Sleepy Hollows
representative, whose game is improv-
ing every day and who made good
showing IN this meeting, allowed his
social duties to interfere with his game.
he attended dance the previous eve
nng, and everybody knows that dane
ing, particularly this twentieth century
stuff, is not conducive to good golf.
Victory for Siwanoy
After hard morning round in
which he won from Roy Barnhill' the
home player, by up, Mcmahon en-
countered Anderson. John has been
very close to top form in this little
series of contests. On this mat round,
although Mcmahon plugged along
gamely, the Siwanoy player won with
something to spare.
Anderson was playing his short game
well and Mcmahon was doing Just the
opposite. That partly accounts for the
Mt. Vernon players triumph. On the
first hole, for instance, Mcmahon in
pitching to the green on his second
went over and took an extra stroks
coming back 80 that Anderson with a
four was able to jump his opponent at
the very start.
They halved the next two holes. At
the fourth Mcmahon again was twenty
hve feet away from the hole on his
third, while Anderson managed to get
within ten feet of the cup. Anderson
sank his putt and of course Mcmahon
didn't. When Mcmahon laid his second
dead for three at the fifth, Ander-
son horned in with seven-foot putt
to halve the hole.
Foozles on Sixth Hole
At the sixth hole Mcmahon again
slipped over the green on his third
shot, and although ne made an excel
lent recovery he missed his putt for
half in five. Three puts at the eighth
gave him another five and left him four
down. Mcmahon then got busy and
won his first hole, the ninth. There
| he played perfectly and got par four,
while Anderson took five, being in
the trap on his second.
Mcmahon continued his good work
at the tenth hole and knocked out an
other fine a, while Anderson, taking
three puts for 55. was set back to
up. 1t began to look like an interest
ing match after all.
But at the next hole Mcmahon again
Fo11 LNn nIr A.
Both played poorly here, Anderson
Mcmahon in a trap on his second Nc
Mahon, though, came through with a
beautiful 2 on the twelfth hole, his
ball hitting the back of the cup on his
tee shot and almost dropping in.
Anderson got a nifty at the long
thirteenth, sinking 15-foot putt, while
| Mcmahon took 6 and then he clinched
the match by winning the fourteenth,
where Mcmahon was in trap.
On the morning round Anderson and
w. H. Follett, Staten Island champion,
had merry struggle of twenty holes.
This was a nip and tuck affair all the
way. Both played fine golf On the
outgoing journey both had 40s and
were all even. AT the eighteenth hole
they finished with 78's each and all
even. Anderson won out on the twen-
tieth hole.
Mcmahon had hard fight Of it, but
proved capable of beating Barnhill in
the regulation distance by 1 up.
