Y, Sept. 13.— British golfers seeking. to win the Walker cup from American stars had a difficult task for the second day of the competition at the Gar- den City Golf club today. As the result of the Americans winping three out of four four- somes yesterday, the British must win at least five of the eight sin- gles on today's program and halve another match in ordér to lift the cup. The winning of only five matches by the Invaders would Jeave the score of the\competition six all, and a tie would make the third British effort to win the cup unsuccessful like the previois two. Today's program of 86 holes matches follows: Max R., Marston, vs. Cyril Tolley, Robert T. Jones, Jr., Atlanta, vs. Major Charles C, Heglet. Charles Evans, Jr, Chicago, W. A. Murray. Francis Ouimet Boston, vs. E. F. S8torey. Jess Sweetser, New York, vs. Hon Michael Seott. Robert A, Gardner, W. L. Hope. Jesse Guilford, Boston, vs. T. A. Torrance. D O. F. Willing, Portland, Ore- gon,.vs. Dennis H..Kyle. Bobby Jones, and W. C. Fownes were the only Amerjcans to lose in yesterday's two ball foursomes, the match ending at the short home water hole when Bobby missed a putt of & yard for a three to halve the match, It had been his bril- Mance,, however, which took the match as far as it went as Fownes missed short putts at two holes and topped a drive at another vital time. This was the closest match of the day. ' Francis Ouimet and his fellow Bostonian, Jesse: Guilford, defeated Cyril Tolley and Major Hezlet two and one. Robert A. Gardner of Chicago and Max R.

Although the result "of the matches will have no bearing on the outeome of the serles, followers of the game manifested great interest, particularly in the meeting of Vin: cent Richards, youthful New York- er, and Gerald L. Patterson, cap- tain ef the Australian team. Wil- llam T. Tilden, conqueror-of Pate terson in the opening ‘battie of the challenge round, will meet Pat O'Hara Wood fn the other contest. O'Hara Wood was decisively de- feated on Thursday by Richards and the experts had little doubt jof Tilden's ability to win. “Big Bill” gave his partner, “Lit- tle Bill” Johnston,” the lion's share of the credit for America’s victory in' the doubles match yesterday ovér aPtterson and O'Hara Wood, Playing together for the first time since they brought the Davis cup back to America from Australia in 1920, Tilden and Johnston, atfer losing the first set, swept to victory largely through individual bril- liance rather than the smoothness of teamwork. Interest in today's match /be- tween Richards and Patterson was heightened because of its possibla bearing on the national rating. Pointing to the young New York- er's playing record this year, some experts expressed the belief that a victory over the Australlan would make his selection for second place now held by Johnston afffiost cer- tain. In addition ‘to winning in the Olympic singles and doubles, Rich- ards was a triumph over the Call- fornien in the easf-west matches and a five set battle with Tilden to his credit. * Automobile Races Feature State Fair Syracuse, N.
