tW enty-ffth Jacobs had spasm of his
usual form, sending beautiful iron to
the green and laying his approach dead.
Petit was equally clean, and the hole
was halved in 3, one under DOGGY.
I'ettit got away good drive on the
next while Jacobs spoiled his, and put
the second into the creek under the
tee He took eight, and Petit played
safe for DOGGY 5. On the twenty
seventh Jacobs again showed that he
was still fighting by tanning out a
zoo yard screamer to match that of the
local boy, and though he was outplayed
on the second shot, his third was on the
green and the hole was halved in 5, one
under DOGGY, The twenty-eighth was
halved in 5, poor going, Petit being
up and to go. Both boys laid ap-
proaches dead on the twenty-ninth and
Petit was up and to play, evidently
playing for sure halved holes, and no
loss. Two beautiful iron shots follow
ed brilliant drives on the next, both
doing DOGGY A. Petit up and to
play.
Both boys did DOGGY four on the
thirty-frst. Petit playing safe for a
half and finishing the hcle 4 up and
to 60 The game was getting dan
gerous for Jacobs, who hau only the
barest chance of getting out with his
title. The boys showed that they were
nervous, but Petit played still for
halved hole, to prevent any possible
loss and creeping up by Jacobs. The
thirty second was done in DOGGY 5,
Jacobs having apparently given up hope
O: winning and playing on with only a
view of making the score as close as
possible. The thirty-third was started
with Petit dormie /, and he got the
rough on the drive. Jacobs was clean
il the course, and laid out a beauty of
q brassey. Petit again getting the
rough. The third, however was to the
green for Jacobs, and Petit not to be
out-done hit the close cut circle also.
Pettit's fourth was dead, while Jacobs
tried for a four to win and overran,
doing 6, to Petit s 5. The cards:

With the finish Of the state champion
ship battle Bob Simpson and Alexander
Robertson, the two professionals of the
Milwaukee Clubs were given chance
to show their speed Before they started
for the eighteen holes, the medals and
cups were presented to the winners by
l resident w. L. Yule of the association.

ton and every winner was heartily
cEeered. Simpson and Robertson had
a great match, Simpson winning by
score of 2 up 1 to go. The cars of
the professionals were as follows:

The victory Of Petit over Jacobs
proved popular one and when ne came
i'll from the green after winning the
last hole he was forced to hold an in
formal reception in front of the club
house. By his victory Petit won the
distinction of being the first golfer in
Wisconsin to twice win the state cham
pionship.
Most Of the visiting golfers left for
their home Immediately after the pres
entation of the cups, but a few of
them were so taken with KenOsha that
they remained over Sunday for an
other days play on the beautiful Ke-
nosha links.
The tournament has proven triumph
for the Kenosha Country Club. Visit
ing golfers declared that there had
never been such a tournament in the
| rast and that Kenosha was in a class by
! herself when it came to entertaining
The men in charge of the tournament
and especially President W. L. YuIe,
President Fisher of the local club. G.
". Allen and Willie Still and the ladies
Of the club who aided in the entertain
ment are entitled to great deal Of
credit.
The visiting golfers left the tourna-
ment with a warm place in their hearts
for the people Of the city and there is
no doubt but that Kenosha can get the
| big meeting of the association again at
any time.
