PINEHURsT. n. c., March 13.-Wher
A. l.. Walker, Jr., of Richmond county
carries the boys along as far as the
eighteenth green he is almost a sure
thing winner on tie extra holes. He
won his second extra Eole match OF
the spring golf tournament to-day at
the nineteenth from Frank Blossom of
the Indian Hill Club, Chicago. John
D. Chapman, Greenwich, is the other
finalist, having defeated~B. P. Merri-
man Of Waterbury, Eolder Of the North
and South amateur title, by a 3 and 2
score.
Walker was dorme two, but Blossom
squared the match with pars at the
seventeenth and eighteenth when Wal
ker INDUCED in too many puts. At the
nineteenth Walker was eight feet from
the pin in two and Blossom was trapped
at the left in the like. Blossom Clipped
out safely and ran his fourth up close.
but Walker ended the match by drop
ping his putt for an eagle. The par of
the first hole is 5.
First division players were shifted
from the number three to the champion
ship course to-day. Walker and Bios
som attracted the largest gallery. and
Walkers medal round Of 75 was good
enough golf to satisfy the critical folks
who constitute a Pfnehurst golfing
crowd. The Richmond County player
was out in 81 against 40 by Blossom,
but he was but one up. He increased
his lead by two holes by winning the
twelfth in birdie three and held 1t to
the seventeenth.

Merriman on His Game.
Chapman found Merrimna badly off
his game The North and South anna
teur champion did not resemble the
golfer who won the most important Of
Southern titles las. year, when he hated
to take more than 73 shots in any one
swing around the Pinehurst courses.
Chapman was one up at the turn, being
out in 40 to Al for the champion After
that Merriman suffered partial eclipse.
Although Chapman was trapped at the
tenth and took six, losing the hole TO
prosperity of winning hole was too
h great for the Waterbury golfer and he
proceeded to take six at the eleventh,
where he topped his second. The twelfth
was halved In what Merriman declared
were generally rotten fives," and Chap
man increased his lead to two holes
when he dropped a nice putt for a birdie
three at the thirteenth.
As Merriman himself put it, the four
teenth hole was a comedy. Both players
took seven to II. Chapman hit a fine mid
iron on the fifteenth green, and won the
hole with three to become dormie. The
sixteenth was halved in par fours. the
match ending at this point.
