MAX MOORE IN FORM

■> With the exception of a long putt at the sixth, which gave him. a half in 4 at a 367-yard hole, J. L. Black never looked like putting at Titahi on Saturday, but at two of the holes h. failed through lack of knowledge of the course. One was the tricky 197-yard third, where the hole is blind, and lies on the brink of a slope. Black's tee shot was well down the hill. Another was the 400-yard fourth, where Black placed his second from a hanging- lie at tho roots of a t.ea-treo bush on the far edge of the donga. It was practically an unplayable shot, and his third rolled down to be virtually stymied by the trees. His fourth was well out,, but short, and'-tho hole took him seven. Moore missed one or two chances cv the greens, jiotably the eighth, where he overran the hole considerably, but he had nothing bigger than a 5 on his card, and,on the day played remarkably fine golf. His 3, 3, 4, at, the commencement of the, return journey, at 248,- 347, and 308-yard holes, made him 5 up, and clinched the match, which he won.6 and 4. Moore is a slim, imperturbable young stylist, with a very fine command.of woods and irons. Not yet 20, ho has all the makings of a national finalist before long.
