SPENCER JONES is
VICTOR AT SHAWNEE
Plymouth Golfer Defeats Jack
Dawson Up in Tourney
Final.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW Yorw HERALD
SHAWNEE ON THE DELAWARE. Pa.
Aug. Sin q match carried to the eigh-
teShth green. Spencer Jones of, the
Plymouth Golf Club defeated Jack Davi-
son. representing the home organiza-
tournament at the Shawnee Country
Club to-day. The margin in Spencer's
favor was one up.
When Dawson looks back upon this
Der it as one Of the closest finishes. He
won both his second and semi-final
round contests on the last green. but he
never had chance to duplicate the feat
in the final after Jones cut loose with
a drive that left the ball scarcely a yard
from the Clip.
Unquestionably the best golf of the
day was produced in the morning Davi-
son to defeat X. Il. Blair of the Kahk-
wah Club had to travel at "a pace,
while Jones also displayed good form
against DR.. ]. w. Robb OF Merton. In
the match Robb could not keep his drives
out OF the rough, and that means a
heavy handicap on this long course
Jonos won, and 4.
BY the way the fnalists kept getting
into trouble 1t looked as though they had
forgotten all they ever knew about the
game. They piled up the strokes rapidly,
and by the time the turn had been
reached Jones had collected q total Of As.
1t left him 2 down. as Dawson had
taken IS himself.
There would have been a difference
of only one hole at the halfway point
had 1t not been for a long putt on
Davison's part. Both had over-ap-
preached the green, but after a recovery
from the sand Jack sank putt of Is
feet for 4. The tenth was his in
good so that he became 3 UP. But
just when he appeared to have the
match at his mercy. Dawson began to
slip and these slips proved costly as
the other man struck streak OF par
golf that had the match at the fifteenth.
Both erred at the water hole,
which was halved in 4. while at the
long seventeenth Jones pulled his
second shot out of bounds and Dawson
landed his In bunker. They halved
in s. To the home hole Jones got off
drive that deserved to win. the ball
boring its way straight toward the pin,
220 yards away and stopping a yard
from the cup. He missed his try for a
2 but was enough to win, as Jack
had found a trap to the left The card
for final was somewhat high, both
men being charged with SIS strokes.
r. S. Worthington, the local man who
has had three extra hole matches in this
tournament, finally won the beaten
eight cup In the first division, defeating
+. w. Haley, the Essex County lad, on
the twentieth green.
