BEND IS PLAYING
SOME GREAT GOLF
His Game Today Is Expected to
Give Him the Cham
pionship.

Give Him the Cham
pionship.
It looks as if Harold C. Bend of the
Town and Country club will, at the
close of tonight's play, be the trans
Mississippi golf champion in addition
to being the state champion of Min
nesota.
On the Minikahda course, in the
first half of the final round for the
ns-Mississippi championship, eigh-
teen holes match play, Bend beat
Stewart, the Omaha crack, by 8 up
this morning.
Golf goes badly for Stewart today.
He drove within two feet of the
yards, then halved the hole with Bend
in four. On the sixth hole Stewart
missed fve-foot cut for a half.
Bends marvellous luck stayed with
with him, and on the eighteenth hole
he trimmed and got it.
All interest in the tournament is
now centering upon the last half of
the final round, Is holes, in this
match. Bend is regarded by golf
professionals as sure winner over
Stewart. The latter's more nervous
and impetuous style is scarcely ex-
pected to prevail over the deadly ac-
curacy and precision Of Bend, who is
said to be playing his Winona game
with Improvements.
Jafrray Beats Bogey.
In the trans Mississippi handicap,
Is holes match play against DOGGY,
Jaffray of the Minikahda club is a
safe winner, with a score Of II, or 5
up on DOGGY. Jaffray was scratch
| man in the event. While the play
will not end before 6 pm, Jaffray's
wonderful work almost precludes the
possibility Of tie, to say nothing Of
"a defeat.
Warren Dickinson Of Des Moines
defeated Walter Fairbanks by l up in
the consolation event, eighteen holes
match play. From the seventeenth hole
| Dickinson was l up, but in his drive
for the eighteenth he was bunkered,
while Fairbanks lie was far down the
hillside Dickinson's second reached
beauty. Fairbanks was unfortunate,
his second falling squarely in the
middle of the road. His approach put
! him on even terms with Dickinson on
the green.
A beautiful cut left him dead to the
hole, while Dickinson's was in kind.
The hole was halved in five, giving

The attendance of golfers has

town visitors are leaving the city. A
large gallery is following the play.
/. Schouten's Plucl1y Game.
Play of this afternoon in the trans
Mississippi tournament is bringing
forth a new golf champion. It is be-
tween Bend of st. Paul and Stewart
Of Omaha. Yesterday afternoon the
play was between Bend of Town and
! Country and Schouten of Bryn MaWr.
Bend won. Schouten has played Won
derful golf when it is considered that
he has played against the wishes OF
his physician and has since a week
ago lived on a diet of rice and broth
menu scarcel ycalculated for fast
play. Despite the fact that Schouten
was suffering acute pain from a re-
bellious stomach, he gamely carried
: the battle to the state champion and
was the first to congratulate him or
his victory-5 up and 4 to go.
Lawhead of Bryn Mawr lost te
Stewart of Omaha thru nervousness
possibly increased by the large gal.
!, lery and by several poor drives, fol
lowed by Indifferent putting. This
play ended and 3, with Stewart tt
play Bend for the championship.
Fairbanks, the Denver crack, ane
Dickinson, twice runner-up in trans.
P Mississippi contests, are pitted agains
each other in the final round Of the
. consolation event.
