GOLF PROS HAVE
LAST HOME MATCH
Hutchis0n and Sylvester
TrOunce Barnes and Mclean
on st. Adams Links.
ny KERR N. PETRIE.

Golfers OF the metropolitan district
got their last opportunity yesterday to
see three OF the members OF the Ameri-
can professional team which soon Wi
be making the divots fly on the links o!
old st. Andrews, play their last game OF
golf in this country before setting sal
for the British open championship. The
trio OF notables consisted of Jock Hutch
lson of Chicago. Western open and pro.
fessional champion Jim Barnes OF Pei
ham and George Mclean OF Grassy
Sprain, who. together with Joe Sylves-
ter, professional OF the st. Adams Club
engaged in thirty-six hole best ball
match.
Hutchlson and Sylvester took on
Barnes and Mclean, took them on and
took them in, for at the cod OF the en-
counter the pair OF Westchester experts
were done to turn by the remarkably
one-sided score OF and 7 to play.
To be perfectly fair. Barnes has not
yet fully recovered from effects of the
boils which have encountered his neck
since before the end of the Southern sea-
son. While the Pelham man feels conf
dent that he has seen the last boil OF .he
set and series come and go and that
henceforth he is to be left alone to re-
gain hts strength and practice up on his
golf shots for the big international event
in Scotland. 1t is quite evident thai
Barnes still is in the convalescent stage
and far as yet from being his own hard
hitting scIr.
His chief difficulty seemed to be in
getting the ball up into the air. This, on
the long and difficult st. Adams course,
eti t~iA nd
serious handicap for the Barnes-M Mclean
team. particularly as both Hutchisor
and Sylvester were making the ball travel
far and sure.
Considering the individual returns
nothing particularly brilliant was ac-
complished for the best card OF the
day was the 77 with which Hutchison
completed the morning round. In the
afternoon Sylvester was low with n 7S
Each time all the others were so OF
more. Hutchison with an 80 for the
second round led on the thirty-six holes
with 157. Sylvester had SO in the
morning. while Barnes icld to be con-
tent with 50 and SO and Mclean with
So and 81.
While Hutchinson generally showed the
way down the course with his hurricane
drives, Mclean and Sylvester also did
some excellent hitting. On one Of the
near-500 yard holes these two were well
on together with the second shots.
Then, at the finish of the morning
round, Sylvester gave his side a useful
by getting home on a ASS yard hole
with his second and holing a long putt
the only long one OF the day. AS 2
matter Of fact the players would have
done much better scoring but for the
fact that several temporary greens were
being utilized, the corresponding greens
Of the regular course not yet being
ready.
Hutchison and his partner pegau
steadily and after the Chicagcan had
given his side lead OF up by annex
ing the first and third his partner added
one more at the NTH by laying his
ball close enough from the tee to score
a 2. Barnes and Mclean vere both very
much outplayed at the sixth. the hole
going TO the opposing pair in to s.
The same two also won the eighth and
turned with this lead of up.
Coming back Barnes and Mclean be-
gan 10 match strokes with their OPP
ponents and had 1t not been FOR Sylves-
ter's fine effort on the home green they
would have left of even for the nine
AS 1t was the st. Adams pro annexed
the eighteenth, thereby giving his side
an advantage OF six holes with which
20 start the second round.
