IT'S RIGHT
IF IT'S HERE
BIG SURPRISE IN
GOLF TOURNEY
WIckS Defeats Armstrong in
Sensational Game of Golf
at Country Club.

The first big surprise in the Country
ciup golf championship happened yester-
day. when Wicks defeated Armstrong by
one up In the eighteen holes OF play. Arm
strong the day before had broken the
course record for amateurs and had been
playing remarkably good golf, while
Wlcks has been in the handicap class
with ten strokes on the eighteen holes. On
form it looked like an easy victory for
Armstrong, but Wicks took the lead from
the start and held ii until the thirteenth
mole, when Armstrong took a brace and
won four holes in succession after Wicks
had had him four down.
Going to the short seventeenth. one of
the prettiest shots ever made on the links
won for Armstrong. Both men had fair
iy good drives. On his second. Wicks
putted over the hole and laid a stymie
with his ball about two inches from the
cup and Armstrong; twelve or thirteen
inches away. 1t looked impossible for
Armstrong to play without putting Wicks
ball In or missing the shot. With perfect
precision he played what in billiards
would be masse shot. cutting the ball
slightly so it twirled around the obstacle
ball, hung on the edge of the cup and
won the hole for him.
That made the match all square. with
only one hole to go. Armstrong led with
tremendous drive almost to the second
ditch, but unfortunately pulled il into the
rough. Wicks played straight up the
course with good long stroke and his
second took him close to the green on
the tennis court side. Armstrong tried to
play a long stroke out of the rough and
only got a short distance. His third was
on the green beyond the flag. Wicks
made beautiful approach and holed out
in four, while Armstrong missed his long
putt and took five, losing the hole and
the match. The cards:
Wicks-Out: 6. s, 3, 4. Z, 3. Z. 4, 8. Total,
