morning round hau given tne HlBhty
Cyril Tolley, former British champion
stirring battle, had come at the
Englishman in his most brilliant mood
and had finished l up on him. These
enthusiasts were there to see George

qualifying and semi-final medals In
the recent public links championship
at Toledo, hoist another golfing pen
nant from Boston. They arrived in
their finery in time to see brilliant
holiday turn to the drab of a rainy
thundery afternoon and to take Their
share of the medicine.
Soaked and bedraggled. they stuck u
out in the hope Of seeing Guilford, Oui-
met and Aulbach come through together

Ouimet in the long run was defeated
and 2 by Rudy Knepper. Sioux City
and Princeton--the same Rudy who the
day before had battered his way up hill
to victory over W. b. Torrance OF the
British team. Aulbach, all even at the
ninth In the afternoon, was eliminated
3 and 2 by Tolley. Tolley and Aul'
bach were playing just ahead of ouime'
and Kneppcr. The doughty hneppef
had been a sore thorn in the foot oi
FRANCIS all cay long. He had been up
a. the end of the morning round and he
came to the eleventh tee up. the tenth
having been won with 3.
At the turn it had not looked so hope

when Henry Wilder. who was
refereeing the match, called the player's
attention to the infraction. Aulbach not
onlv looked surprised, but actually
arerieyed. There were also mutterings
among the faithful and loyal in the
gallery and these were meant for the
ears Of wilder. Tolley. who had driven
a tremendous shot down near to the
quarry which forms the hazard Of the
tenth green, took no part In the ris-
cussion. He was In fact. out OF range
and probably did not know Just what
was transpiring over there on the right.
"Trying TO get his goat" shouted some
one at Wilder. That the incident ruffled
Aulbach, was only too apparent. When
the scarboro player swung and hoisted
the ball only few yards out Of the
rough. there were more muterings.
Evidently Scarboro was well represented.
Then Aulbach hit again and shalked
his mashie away off the line OF the
green. His next he shanked once moro
working all around the green, but
getting nowhere. Tolley had a lie from
which he was unable to sole his club
and his approach was not complies
success. Still he had the hole at his
mercy. Aulbach, after playing four OF
five actual strokes, picked UP In disgust
Moving to the eleventh tee, the gallery
saw Aulbach smother his next drive
and send Il hurting down into the Ions
wet grass. They perched on cliff and
crag as their hero hit again and We,
again ineffectively into more rough and
then with another shanked shot into tn,
woods and finally again picked UP In
disgust.
That left Tolicy Q up. They halved
the short twelfth, but at the thirteenth
the British former champion pressed
home his advantage. Aulbach had a
great second shot to the green. a stroke
that left his ball not more than dozen
feet from the cup. under the hole. And
once more tho championship qualities
came cropping out OF rolley.
