Walker Jr., Interscholastic Champion, Disposes of Two Opponents, While Joseph G. McMahon Is Eliminated After Winning Opening Match. In the Sleepy Hollow Country Club in- itation tournament A. L. Walker Jr. Interscholastic champion from the Rich- mond County Country Club, won beth his matches by comfortable margins. Further evidence of youthful progression was the showing of Joseph G. McMahon, the sixteen-year-old lad representing the home club. MeMahon, who like all schoolboys, delights to “kill” the bail, gets fine tength with his wood, but needs a little more experience at the short game. In the morning he defeated Oliver C. Macy, Chairman of the Tournament Committee at Sleepy Hollow, in a match carried to an extra hole. At the nineteenth both reached the green on their third shots, but McMahon won in 5 when his op- ponent missed a putt of scarcely 2 feet. Later W. W. Lyon of Scarsdale de« feated McMahon by the narrow margin of 1 up. At the eleventh hole the bey was 1 up, but Lyon finally took com: a stood dormie on the eight~ fen tee “Wsey Wave ‘the Haat in 5.
