The play Off of the net score tie for
tfirty-six holes occurred after o'clock
in the evening, and although tired
from their two days play many OF the
old gray-haired gentlemen followed
Armstrong and Noble over the first
nine holes of the course to settle their
tie. which Noble won by a single
stroke From the dasfing style in
which Armstrong started off it looked
as though he would win with the ut
most ease. He captured the first hole
in to s, with a gain of four strokes,
which he increased to five by taking
the second hole in to B, and to eight
strokes when he landed the third hole
III to 6. Here. however, is where his
great run of luck ceased, as Noble
won the fourth hole in to g. and on
his drive for the fifth hole Of 100 yards
his ball hit the pin and dropped dead
to the hole. which he captured In 2 tp
g. cutting four strokes off the lead OF
Armstrong on the two holes. Playing
the sixth Armstrong got badly bunked
and Noble took the hole in to s, |
leaving his opponent with the advan-
tage OF but a single stroke.
They each took six strokes. anal
Noble. who seemed to have something
up his sleeve. was, more than pleased
when he evened up the strokes with
Armstrong by taking the eighth hole
in 9 to 4. The ninth hole of 619 yards
was most admirably played and
halved in 6. which is both par and
bogey for the hole. They had each
used up 46 ctr 'les. and Armstrong said
II guess We h. better keep on playing
until one Of us get the best of a hole
Noble laughed heartily and said: You
have another guess coming what
do you mean" said the astonished
Armstrong why the match is over
and have won it, replied Noble. "You
have a handicap of eighteen and my
handicap is twenty. so l win by one
stroke on my handicap" They shook
hands and returned TO the clubhouse.
