 While the Presidents Cup golf tournament at Shuttle Meadow is not designated as a father and son event, the finals in the first flight de- veloped into a match between E. Allen Moore and his son, Roswell. It took the full 36 holes yesterday for the younger man to conuer his elder by one up. The peculiar part of it was that Mir. Moore senior had to give MT. Moore, junior, several strokes.
 Fridays play. staged in midsum- mer heat, brought close decisions 10 the winners of the quarter-f1nals. Ormond Bates beat Harold Mott, 3-1. E. Allen Moore won from Max Porter, 2-1. M. Hellyar took his match with Louis Jones, 5-4 and Judge kirkham, after beating R. J. Smith in the first round, was taken into camp by Roswell Moore, 3-1.
 In the semi-finals Saturday, F. Allen Moore beat Ormond Bates, 2-1, to go into the finals. At the same time his son trimmed Hellyar to the tune of 5-4 to win the right to meet the winner of the upper bracket.
 Sunday stymied the finals of the second flight as a minister advanced to the semi-fnals Saturday and he was otherwise engaged when the match was scheduled to be played. Rev 9orrua1 ,tcIjffo ,,I,y;po i, bic first tournament in several years, came through the lower bracket, triumphant, and will play Hugh Me kenna for honors in the second flight, early this week.
 In the second round, Friday. Bob Poteet and Bob Parsons battled un- til dark to an 1S-hole tie and then tossed up to see who would proceed. Mir, Parsons called the coin and then was eliminated by Dave Manning, 31. Hugh Mckenna captured q close match with Len Morse. up. Veterans Clayton Parker and Fonz Porter locked horns. or crossed nib- Ticks, and Mir. Porter took less turf to win. Az. Rev. Mir Sutcliffe end Ralph Howe had a nice match which the rector won, 3-2.
 In the semi-fnals. Mr. McKenna had an easy time winning, 4-3, from MT. Manning, whom he caught off his game. Rev. Mir. Sutcliffe contin- ued his winning streak to beat Clay ton Parker, Az.
 Added drama was provided yester- day in the finals of the third flight when Banker Noah Lucas. besides running off the tournament, did q "Homans" and won in an extra hole. His smiles, as he came off the 18th green after the morning round, be- lied the fact that Gail Porter had him five down. Continuing to smile through the aftey dinner session. MT. Lucas gradually picked up holes un- til he was but one down as he drove from the 36th tee.
 The shots of each contestant did not so perfectly down the home stretch and after the final butts had been sunk it was found that Mir. Lucas six was good enough to square the match. Still smiling, he very neatly took the extra hole and won the third flight to his little daughters satisfaction. A year ago she conided to her schoolmates that her daddy was a great golfer and now her faith in his ability on the links is without bounds.
 This faith of ones children in his golfng ability isn't the worst thing in the world. Perhaps 1t does spur a man on to better his game to the point where he can win an occa- sional club tournament and improve his game and at the same time not neglect his business. Reducing his handicap by five strokes in a season, as Mir. Lucas has done this year, Is a worth while achievement when golf is taken as a recreation and no time is given to it for practice.
 All of which is long ways from telling how Noah Lucas got to the finals. Another banker, who also IS enjoying his season on the fairways. Teu D. SloOu III 'iiN path of the Savings Bank treasurer, Friday, he beat Maurice Pease two up while MT. Lucas was winning from Frank Shield, 32.
 In the lower bracket. Gail Porter beat Claude LerouX, who has ad- vanced from the dub class, one up, and Charlie Davis beat Duncan Shaw, conqueror of Logan Page, 3-l.
 Mir. Lucas breezed through his match with Mir. Chamberlain. a S-2 winner. but MT. Porter had to play to the 22d hole before he could win from MT. Davis.
 For the first time in the hostory of the Presidents Cup event at Shut tie Meadow, all but one match was finished on schedule. Every contcs- tant had a good time and the non- crack golfers displayed a fine game. A little more pruning of handicaps and the local fraternity of divot dig gers will be evenly matched for next season.
