Now that the shock Of the entertain
y.rt Tho first two days Is over, It !:
mn.sble 10 get a line on what IL liable
Sonnen Ger Saturday night.
r.nm rieht to left, you might say
waiter Reynolds, Aronimink's star
,M'.d.oF against John j. Beadle, Llan
uh IN Few better matches could be con :
srn.d srsd hereabouts and indeed, that is
Gi e. line nm for the whole day. All the
.ue .us,ches % were good. Next to tee off arc
I'd Clarey, Forest View, against fhil
Randolph, Jr., Lakewood.
In The lower bracket there will be
an encore on that sizzling match once
M Jsyed at Lu Lu, when George Hoff =
per. Bala. met Marcus Greer, Llanerch. a..
rhey % meet again today. Last time
Greer won close match. Greer Is
hampton of the Province OF Quebec,
canada, and Hoffner, former Phil
sdcIphia champion.
Great Tut
Tho other match sees thinner Platt
ia action against Fred knight, White
m.rsh winner at Trenton, and semi
snalst in the Lakewood tournament
last week. A.
winner in any Of these matches. The
sullery was all confused and bounced
from one to the other.
The history Of the tourney so far
shows that Reynolds advanced through
, dne victory over Charlie Doelp, Lu Lu
star, 8 and 3. Beadle also was going
IN great shape to oust Paul Jennings,
Llanerch, 3 and 2. Clarey won by the
same margin over Tom Byrne, Roxbor.
ough, yesterday.
The match which drew the whole
,allery was that between Randolph and
l. Wood Platt, Whitemarsh. This re.
sllted in the only real upset of the
DIV, when Plat was trimmed 1 up.
He was 2 down and 3 to play, sinking
long putt on the sixteenth for win,
making him 1 and 2. On the next he
was trapped and couldn't get better
than half, but looked to have q real
chance on the home hole, where he
was dead on the pin all the way and
brought up about four feet short Of the
pin. His putt just hung on the lip
q the cup for a bird 2, but refused to
drop, and he got half, which put him
out.
Platt's medal was IS to -. Per.
laps 1t was the old jinx of the medalist
not being able to win the tournament.
but at any rate Randolph played very
fine and steady golf to win.
Fine Medal
George Hoffner had a little better
medal with an unfinished chance for a
78 to beat Bob Irish, Plymouth, 4 and
3. Greer beat John Lord, the former
Main Line ball player and public links
product, ) and 4 by barrage of deadly
shooting, and thinner Platt erased
Wilmer Devices, Cobbs Creek, s and 4,
when he was out IN 35, not enough for
Devices.
Fred Knight had about Is to elm
mate Spencer Wright, Aronimink, 5
and 8. The latter has been playing fine
yof lately. but Knights playing has
been superlative.
The winner, however. Of this tour.
nament viii have to play real golf and
'ae best players in town one after the
other to get the big clock, which is the |
nfst prize to the winner of the tourna-
ment. ''"'"o
