 It was anybodys battle until the players had rounded the turn in the afternoon round. Horan was three up at the time and coasted home safely laying his shots straight down the fairway and talk ing no chances of dribbling away his lead. Bronson tried desper- ately to cut the lead. He won the 18th when the champion shot a six, his poorest hole of the af- ternoon. A magnificent spoon shot to the green gave Horan back his 3-up margin on the 29th, al- though topped putt proved of no advantage to Bronson. Breaks With Him. 1 Again on the 30th the, breaks were with the winner when his pitch on this short hole was short but bounded across the bunkers to lie within putting reach of the pin. Horan was trapped on the 31st and Bronson played 1t safely to- win. Bronson was stymied by trees on the 32nd but made a remarkable out only to find the champion on in two and down in the regula- tion two butts. Horan won the 33rd to go 3-up once more and on the 34th his stymie was too much for the runner-up.
 Birdie Helps Horan. The morning round was probably the more exciting of the two as the lead see-sawed back and forth. A birdie three on the thrid enabled Horan to even the match after Bronson had jumped into a lead on the first. They made the turn with Horan 1-up which he in creased to three only to have Bronson drop three successive fours' to take two holes and then nose him out on the 18th to even up the morning round. Upset Favorites
 The champions afternoon round to the turn was the best effort of the day. He, was at the turn in 3S which included seven As and two 5's. He was shooting prac- tically as well coming home, al- though 6 on the 2Sth was dis astrous.
 Both Horan and Bronson gained the finals of the annual Country club championship by upsetting the favorites. Horan defeated "Chick" Durfee 3 and 2, while Bronson was treating Bill Sweeney to a. 5 and 4 defeat. Horan tied for second in the qualifying round with an 80; Bronson was one be- hind him with an S1. The medal ist, William M. Goss, former club champion, strangely enough was not eliminated by ether of the
 
 Horan is the 22nd title holder at the Waterbury Country club and succeeds William NJ. Heyniger who did not defend his title this year. The new champion was four times champion at the Matttatuck Coun- try club and has long been re- garded as one of the steadiest golfers in this section of the state.

 English Tames Harvey
 As was predicted Frank K. Eng fish, former state amateur ana Waterbury Country club champion. defeated Robert Harvey for the Watertown Country club title yes terday afternoon and 2. EngNsh, had no easy time of it with Har- yey and had to go all the way to the 35th hole before he could win.
 Harvey started like a whiriwind and was Sup at the turn. Coming home, though. English settled down and cut his opponents lead to 1-up when the gong sounded for lunch.
 Has q Sup Lead
 There was a complete reversal of form in the afternoon round. Where Harvey had swept around the new nine holes English now was driving beautifully and drop hing his pitches on the green with unerring accuracy. His 39 for the first nine holes enabled him to take a 2-up lead. It wasn't enough, as the champion still had some bad holes in his system.
 His followers were disheartened when he chalked up a six on the 28th and followed it with seven on the 30th to allow Harvey to even up the match. English click ed off the next three holes in championship form to take again a 2-up lead which he held to the 35th where the match ended.
