Sherman continued his triumphal march, not "to the sea," but to the finals, where he met R. M. Purves of Woodland.

Another win and more consistently good golf finally gave him the match, by 6-4. J. M. Brame, who came all the way from Montgomery, Ala., to compete, landed the second flight cup.

For A. C. Columbo won the title, thus retaining his laurels for the last time. His play throughout the week was of a very high calibre and most of his matches on the road to the final were very close and hard fought. ]. II. Sullivan, the runner-up both in HHi and IQI2, had an easier row to hoe, winning his preliminary rounds by wide margins and playing good enough golf throughout to win any interscholastic championship. The winner led by only 2 up at tlie end of the morning half of the 36- hole final after scoring a 75, while in the afternoon he settled the match by 3-2, finishing out the round with a score of 76. Sullivan was 76 in the morning and 7^ in the afternoon. It seems impossible for the resident professionals to "wrest the Massachu- setts open championhip title from the Ross family, for in the eight years it has been an annual fixture in the state, either Aleck or Donald Ross have carried away the honors.
