last two sets, Davis being the principal
offender for the coast team in the open

had, keeping the Yale pair back on the

Williams were all keyed up, they made it
mighty interesting for their opponents.

Hagen Says His BrasSie
to Fourteenth SAVED DQv

Walter Hagen, who won great VIC
tory for American golf when he lifted
the British championship at Sandwich.
took a few moments between receptions
yesterday to recount some of the ex-
periences which marked the struggle
for the title over the sand dunes of
the Royal st. Georges course on the
Kent coast of England.
Walter arrived at the course a num-
ber of days before the championship
and played practice rounds. He found
himself going so well, doing rounds of
II. 72 and 73 with such ease and reg
ularity that he returned 20 London and
waited until just before the champion
ship before going again to Sandwich.
While in London he declined dinner
invitations and rested. He said that he
never felt more confidence In his career
than he did at Sandwich.
Upon arriving at Sandwich before
the championship he obtained the SER
vice of a caddy who proved to be one
of the best he has ever had in cham
pionship play. This man, who was
wounded in the war and walked about
the course with aid of a cane, confided
in Ha zen that he was taking a chance
in employing him. as he had never
brought in a winner"
Walter said he would try and break
his luck and advised his caddy not to
worry If he haappened to be trailing the
leaders by a few shots, as he did not
mind making an effort to come from
behind. The caddy, Hagen said. watched
his preliminary play with the greatest
interest in order to determine II he con-
sdered Hagen had a chance.

hole finals to-day. 12 and IL.
Holder, who has just completed his
freshman year at Harvard captured
only three holes, all in the forenoon
round. His driving was excellent, but
in other departments of the game he
was no match for his experienced oppo-
nent.
Ouinet, who made new record of
10 for the course in the qualifying
round, went around in 73 this forenoon
to SO for Holder. who at that point was
seven down. He kept up nearly the
same pace in the seven holes required
to finish the match this afternoon, only
two being halved.
In none of his five matches in the
tournament was Ouimet extended be-
yond the fifteenth hole. He played 10
holes over the difficult course In one

Final, 10 and 8.

Special Dispatch to THE New YonK HERALD
EASTERN POINT, Conn. July Henry
Topping of Greenwich suffered terrific
beating to-day in the final of the Con-
necticut state CALF championship at the
hands of w. Parker Seeley of Brook

his opponent by 10 up and 5 to play over
the thirty-six hole route. Seeley has
won the Connecticut championship twice
before. Topping has also held it.
The Brooklawn player never left the
result in doubt from the first tee until
the end of the match. He won the first
two holes and maintained gradually in
creasing lead until the match resembled
a long and hopeless chase. The first
eighteen holes in the morning had left
Seeley with four hole lead and he
added six to this in the first nine of the
afternoon and the match was all over
after the tenth was played.
Topping was far off his game all day
and was unable TO get the combination

drove well to the first five holes in. the
championship and found his ball In a bad

that he could not get home and had to
play for fives.
This bad start made him take all sorts

that he won considerable. the odds being
