GOLFING
BLACK BEATEN
BY N.S.W. TITLE' HOLDER
(Australian Press Association,) SYDNEY, June 25. E. L. Apperly, holder of the title, rather easily defeated the New Zealander, Black, hi the s.mi-finals of' the V.w South Wales State amateur golf championship, to-day. <He was e:ght up and seven to play.
Apperly, who has shown excellent form in the 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. ! H'e was a trifle unfortunate at the fourteenth, for, with a win in sight, he was stymied, and in a gallant effort to negotiate it with his nibßick, he knocked his opponent's ball into the hole.
The New Z' nhinder sank a thiry 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, naturally were not missed. Black was never in the picture in the afternoon. Apprrly relied on steady methods and always had the New Zealander on defensive.
In the other semi-final, J. Ferrier beat W. R. Dobson two and one.
