Oct. 19. Fred Knight of Atlantic City won tho fall tournament of the Atlantic City Country Club this afternoon by defeating George Hoffner of Phila-j delphia by 2 up and 1 to play. The i real bright spot in the match was on the fifteenth hole, where Hoffner ran down a massie shot 40 yards 'iff the green for two. Knight declined to make a try for the like, picked up his ball, and conceded the hole to his opponent.

Jloffner's piece of good luck came at a time when he needed it. too, for lie had managed by indifferent piay-ing to drop from 2 up on the lower to down on the upper, and he was rather disheartened. After that Knight steadied down and halved the sixteenth and won the seventeenth, which gave him the match. Jn the morning Knight had a rather close game with Alex Coles of Shawnee, but he won out by 2 and 1. Hoffner played Baldwin in the morning, whom ho defeated seasiiy by 6 up and 5 to play.
