visions of extra play in this one as well.
| II did not seem possible that Stevenson
| could get back In time TO snatch half.
/ but this Is exactly what he did, playing
a fine niblick shot that sent the ball
| up through the leaves SO that 1t came
| plump down within few feet of the
hole. Stevenson sank the putt. halved
| the hole and won the match.
| :. In the afternoon the former polo star
| put UP just such another battle minus
the fireworks at the end and qualified
for the semi-final by eliminating Spind-
| Ter by the odd hole. His opponent in to-
| days play. Hoyt, also won a single hole
victory in the second round from Knowl-
! ton, tho man who had eliminated
Stearns. Earlier in the day Hoyt de-
feated w. j. McConville OF Garden City
| 4 and 2.
Topping earned his place by very
high class game Of golf. his play being
| good enough to defeat Il. w. Nash of
Rockaway Hunt and 4 in the first
round and Ward by and in the
second. Topping was dormie on the
| old Giant shortstop, but lost the four
teenth by taking to reach the green.
| Ward. who had been so straight in
the medal and first match rounds. began
! to tire by afternoon. and by visiting the
side rough little too much he put him
self under a tremendous disadvantage
TO player who was steadily cleaving
to the line. Topping was out in 80 and
3 up. The eleventh and twelfth he
played perfectly and adding these to
his string stood 5,up.
Kirkby came through on two nineteen
hole matches, thanks to some stout
battling by George A. Dixon, Jr., of
Nassau, In the morning and by Hamil-
ton X. Kerr of Garden City In the
afternoon. Kirkby also owed his putter
grudge. especially in the second
round. when after going out in 80 and
standing / up he missed puts on the
| TENTH eleventh. twelfth, fifteenth and
home greens.
The former metropolitan and New
Jersey champion was playing his well
| known polished game on most OF the
| holes. but there are spots In his game
! that require some retouching before
the championship comes along. par
| ticularly on the green's. In addition 10
| the three putt green's home coming
/ enumerated above, the Englewood man
had three on the third-a mutual three
| this-and he missed n fairly short one
at the sixth, where Kerr went down In
| one putt to win.
Kirkby's brassie shot at the fourth was
feature He was on in two and down
for his birdie A. He was up at the
| fifth. and / up at the ninth, with card
| of 80.
Starting back, Kerr took advantage OF
his opponents putting weakness and.
| supplementing this with some superb
| golf of his own, he had his man / down
i a Nrxsr
the thirteenth tee Kirkby looked to be
| losing this one. but instead he came
through to win, squaring the match.
A series of mishits cost Kerr the
seventeenth. but he squared at the home
| hole when Kirkby overshot the green into
| the bunker. On the extra hole Kirkby
sank his only putt OF the match, an af-
/ fair Of about eight feet, scoring birdie
exactly as he had done in the morning
game against Dixon.
