SYDNEY, 25th June.
E. L. Apperly, the lioMer of the title, rather easily defeated the New Zealander Black in the semi-finals of the State amateur golf championship today, eight up and seven to play. Apperlv, who has shown excellent form in tlie present series gave nothing away over the first eighteen holes, and aided by a couple of stymies had a lead of five up at luncheon. Black made several mistakes on. the greens. Ho was a trifle unfortunate at the fourteenth for with a win in sight lie was stymied and in a gallant effort to negotiate it with a niblick he knocked his opponent’s ball into tlie hole. The New Zealander sank a thirty feet putt- on the twelfth green but was too often short with his approach putts. The result was that he gave Apperly too many opportunities which were naturally, not missed. Black was never in the picture in the afternoon. Apperly relied on steady methods and always had the New Zealander on the defensive. In the other semi-final J. Ferrier beat W. 11. Dobson, two and one.
