The struggle for the low score medal ended in a tie at 152 between Hanild Hilton and Charles Evans, ]T., and it was only by a most spectacular finish that the young Chicagoan finished even with the champion. He pulled his tee shot for the eighteenth hole and found a bunker, lie found it impossible to pitch out to the course and so poked out at an angle of 4^ degrees to the polo field. This left him a 200-yard iron shot for the green, with a carry over a tree.

"Bay State" players did not lose any time, however, for the receding month was full of competition. For the first time the executive commit- ,>l tee of the M. G.

Sixteen out of forty-eight clubs in Massachusetts scraped up a team of two players and entered the drawn match play competition for the first round. More clubs might have responded had they believed there was an opportunity of coming- through, but the calibre of those who entered was of such a nature as to almost discourage the smaller clubs of the association. Notwithstanding, the play opened on Thursday afternoon, Aug. 2*2 at the Country Club, Brookline, and the eight victorious clubs of the first round were pitted as follows for the second round: Brockton vs. The P.
