golf tourists George Duncan and Abe
Mitchell added another victory to
their list to-day, playing over the won
derful course of the Hollywood Coun-
try Club. jim Barnes, our national
open champion, who was on the los
ing side yesterday at Grassy Sprain,
opposed the Brtons again to-day, be-
ing paired with Johnny Farrell. the
brllliant young professional of the
Quaker Ridge Club The margin Of
victory in one of the most interesting
ana spectacular matches yet played in
TINS section was 3 up.
On the morning round Duncan and
Mitchell, having the putting touch,
made good use of it to sink puts from
all parts Of the greens. Some of these
were dropped from as great ID distance
as sixty feet Barnes and Farrell
were playing fully as well as their on
ponents, but while the visitors were
getting down their puts the Amerj-
cans were missing by. the barest of
margins.
Consequently despite their des-
perate efforts to keep pace with their
opponents they found themselves 4
down at the end of the morning round.
It was then foregone conclusion that
the brltons would win the match, be-
cause as Barnes himself we'll saws.

visitors won the second and also the
fourth and increased their lead to up

his 3 from off the green. 1t did not
seem as if anything could stop the
lying English Scotch combination, but
on the incoming round their pace
slackened and Barnes and Farrell
plugging together with good spirit
managed to hold them from gaining
further.
The afternoon performance was
mostly contest between Mitchell,
with his bally bludgeon, and the quiet
young Farrell. A special prize of 500

Farrell and Mitchell, playing mar
Vicious golf, began the race for the
money, and for eleven holes it was as
fine struggle as one could witness
between two golfers. Up to that time
Barnes and Duncan were simply com
panions to the other two. Barnes was
having hard time trying to get down
his puts, try ms he would, the ball
refused to go into the cup. He
missed at least half dozen bv the
of margins, and had he been
successful on some of these attempts
his side might have squared matters.
