ing sliced so frequently that it came to be
generally understood thing that with him
a clean drive was beyond hts capabilities.
Mr.. Carnegie said that he went OH In MS
driving while playing on the New YORK
links two weeks ago and he has not been
able to regain his good form since Not
withstanding the poor drives. the Aae8neny
man made up in clever approaches ana
puts, and in this way his figures were kept
within respectable proportions.
Where DIR. Gray Excelled.
On the other hand, DIR. Gray drove the
little white ball long and true in almost all
his drives, but luck was against MN IN
both the approach and putt shots. The as
sociation with the crack golfer may nave
worried the doctor considerably, as ne mas
been playing in good form. only yesterday,
while practicing, beating DR.. Lee Harlan,
the acknowledged best golfer of the Dis
trict.
After the first two holes had been done in
two IS and 6 and a by DIR. Gray and
Mr.. Carnegie. respectively, the two gentle
men settled down to good golf and Kept
close to bogey for quite a while. On the
fourth hole DR.. Gray made one OF his Few
poor drives. going into the bunker; but his
approach was good and both men covered
the link In strokes, one under bogey.
Mr.. Carnegie ran his strokes up to seven
on the fifth hole, and it seemed that bad
luck would never desert him. His drive
from the tee went Into the grass, his second
did not carry him out of the bad ground and
on the third stroke the ball went into the
road. Once more his fourth stroke was bad
as 1t went by the green and Into the grass,
and it required three more strokes to hole
the ball.
Both men got OF well in putting and ap-
preaching on the sixth hole, but DR.. Gray
once more fell short poor putting. On
the seventh hole both players made the hole
on bogey figures, five, but loud were their
complaints of the fog. it being very deceiv-
ing and rendering the judgment on distance
very defective.
DR.. Gray made clever approach and put
shot on the eighth hole and got under
bogey figures making the hole in five, while
Mr.. Carnegie took six. On the ninth hole
DR.. Gray's luck deserted him once again,
his drive going into the deep ditch thereby
losing a stroke, and it took him five strokes
to finish up, while Mr.. Carnegie did it in
three
Figures on the Outward Going.
This closed the outward going and the
figures looked good for Mr.. Carnegie, as
they called for only forty-one strokes, but
one over bogey; but DR.. Gray had worked
up to forty-seven.
Both men made poor approach shots on
the tenth hole, Mr.. Carnegie taking five to
hole his ball, while DR.. Gray did 1t in four,
bogey figures The doctor went into the
ditch this hole, but his approach was
almost perfect.
On the eleventh hole Mr.. Carnegie began
to play brilliant golf, and notwithstanding
were such to carry him right alongside
Colonel Bogey" on almost every hole He
made this hole in five, while the doctor
took six
Dr. Gray drove off beautifully on the
twelfth hole. but approached poorly, just
the reverse of his companion, who sliced
the ball once more. the ball going into the
ditch. but the Allegheny mans approach,
being very clever. saved him.
The "hoodoo' hole, No. 13. was next, and
after holing his ball. Mr.. Carnegie christen-
ed it the fierce green,' although his
strokes were but four, one under bogey
On the fourteenth hole Mr.. Carnegie
made a sensational putt after a good ap-
proach from the grass. the ball being holed
from a distance of about fifteen feet. Both
players went over bogey figures on the
fifteenth hole, DR.. Gray just missing the
sand pit in his approach shot.
When the two players went over the tee
on the sixteenth hole, Mr.. Carnegie decided
to change driving clubs lust for luck as
he put it. on account of his continuous
Slfcing. But the change was for the worse
as he almost 'foozled" the ball on the
driye-off His approach was also poor en-
this hole, and he took six strokes to cover
1T, while the doctor did it in five. On the
seventeenth hole both gentlemen tried to
get under bogey figures. but the best they
could do was to share honors with the
Colonel and 5.
On the eighteenth, last hole. the poor
work continued, Mr.. Carnegie driving his
ball into the woods. taking stroke to get
in position to approach and then Dr. Gray
spoiled his clever drive and approach with
poor put. both men holing the ball In five
strokes. two over bogey.
