for the morning.
Ward had a cold bath and came out in
fannels after luncheon. but Sinclair only sat
around and built air castles during the in
terval. Sinclair had TO play the odd after
every tee shot where wood was used; at the
start on account Of bad direction. but from
the seventh onward because Ward fairly
outdrove him. On the eleventh Ward got
$50 yard ball. and throughout his tee shots
were admirable. He carried the 23O yard
thirteenth green. The advantage through
the green. barring the second. was Wards
through better direction. especially on the
ninth hole. where he used a mdron to the
green against Snclair's spoon. On the put
ting Ward got 8 on the seventh from the
edge OF the green and was always steadest. In
brief. as golfers express it. Sinclair Cracked
on the fifth tee. But this does not detract
