Pusey is a youngster who has made
great strides recently. He played con.
sistent golf today, going out In A. and
returning in 80 for an 81.

Cpsets were the usual order Of busi-
ness yesterday
Norman II. Maxwell. Of whitemnrsh
Valley, furnished the first big surprise.
Even though the little Chestnut Hill
star is notoriously unable to stand up
day. the complete collapse he ex.
perienced in his afternoon match with
Nennel was not looked for. Nennel
handed Maxwell one Of the worst trim
mings Of his career, the final result
being o and s. in favor Of the Tavistock
biffer.
Maxwell Beaten
In the morning Norman defeated
John King, Of North Hills. with fair
amount Of ease. He has played the
Cricket Club course so often that It
was expected that. though he might
slip a bit from his matutinal form. he
would be good enough to come through

did not do It,
Nennels morning task was the diff
cult one Of erasng Herb Newton, an
other Whitemarsh crack. which he did
to the tune Of 4 and 3. Two victories
in day over such men as Newton
and Maxwell Is a feather that any
golfer might be proud to wear In his
cap. It makes Vennel something Of a
favorite TO have his name inscribed on
the st. Martins Cup for the season Of
| Altogether. It was a tough day for
the Whitemarsh clique. which is an
exceptionally strong one. The erasure
of Maxwell and Newton left the bur-
and knight cracked under the strain.
Doelp Survives
A surprise second only to Maxwell's
crushing defeat was the victory Of
Charley Doelp over William Mcintyre,
Jr.. Of Springhaven. who had the sec.
ond low medal in the qualifying round
on Tuesday. The burly Lu Lu Temple
champion had eased himself into q
favorable position by defeating p. D..
De Long in the A. NJ. round, 4 UP and
3 70 play. In the afternoon he car.
ried Mcintyre all square to the eight.

John Arthur Brown. the club chnm-
pion. who holds the record for the
Cricket Club links--a snappy 70
withdrew from the tournament. He
was rated with Maxwell as one of the
favorites, and his withdrawal ndded
the final touch to the uncertainty of the
situation. There is always n lot Of
sympathy for the long shot In n tour
nament. and with four long shots en-
tering the semitnal round that sym
pathy will be pretty well distributed.
The Committees Work
In all the matches and tournaments
that are staged hereabouts the laurels
a ways are plpcad on the brows Of the
players. There are few who recog
n!ze the fact that the committee in
charge deserves all the credit that
should be handed them--nnd seldom Is.
All arrangements for the comfort of
the competing players are arranged
for: the matches run off in smooth
style; all the minor details that are
noticed only when they are lacking are
handled by the interchangeable men OF
the committee. Yet no one rushes IA
congratulate them. Their work is
taken more or less for granted: no,
only by the club members, who have
become used to seeing them work. but
by the visitors as well.
II seems about time that the bard
working committeeman whose effort
have made golf so successful in Phila
delphia should be recognized. For in

Colonel kurtz, who has had the han
ding of this tournament of the 81
Martins Cup. Is the Man Friday o.
the club. Whenever 1t comes to han
ding golf or tennis tournament tn
colonel is on the job, working to max
1t n success.
The work Of the caddies Mt the Cricke
club is worthy Of comment. They di,
the sort OF work that brought praise
not merely from the club members them
selves, but from the visiting golfers a
well.
