The winning of the amateur golf champion
ship by Eben NJ Byers was we'll received in
golhng circles. The victory was the more popu-
lar as the title came within two holes OF going
scross the border into Canada, a result which
would have been decided shock TO the sensi-
bsIifies Of our players. Byers we'll deserved the
honors, for, without showing any particular
bTilliancy, he played strong, sound, consistent
golf all the week and further showed that
pluck and grit when hard pressed which be-
speak the champion Byers has figured promi-
nently in championship tournaments before, and
was twice runner-up IN the natlonal MIXTURE, puJ
this Is the first time that he has stood at the
forefront OF golf in this country His victory
was the more creditable as he played with a
weakened wrist. the result OF a bad sprain some
weeks ago. and was under the constant strain
thar il might go back him at any moment.
