Iumbsa Golf Club yesterday. that
the sixth hole In the WyEagyI
Country Club golf tournament
yesterday was made fn one
stroke, the distance being 14a
yards and the ball travelling d.
rectly from the tee into the hole.
This feat was equaled a few
days ago by Mr.. Warren G. Ey-
non in match az the C0Iurabla
Golf Club, Commissioner West
being his partner. The latter
having the honor had driven
from the nfth tee and the ball
was near the green. Mr.. EynO1
thea drove. and the green being
out OF sight beyond a hill, the
exact location OF the ball was,
OF course, n matter of guess. As
the players walked over the hill
Mr.. EynOn's ball Was not visible.
Before hunting for It, COmGals-
siOner West took his stroke and
hit the pin for n 2. After several
minutes OF unsuccessful search,
8Ir. Eynon finally walked over
TO the hole and, looking IN, dis
covered that his ball had trmv-
eIed direct from the see into the
cup. making the hole In l."
Other members of the club
stated yesterday that only on
one or tvTO occasions have holes
been made in one stroke. The
tenth hole and the hfSeenth hole
have each been made Iu one, but
these are short holes. whereas
the distance between rhe tee and
the green where Mr. EynOn made
his record is fully I6O yards.
