He stood down after the first five holes.

at the tenth
Although longer off the tee, Webb found
II impossible to make any Roadway In tho
early hours, partly because OF his own
wildness and partly because his opponent
had all the luck. For time It seemed az
II Barnes couldn't get into trouble. for even
when his ball did slice or pull off the line
It laughed defiance at ihe traps. Taking
advantage of this good fortune, and incl
dentaly playing well in spots himself, the
veteran was enabled to reach the turn In

long one brought of during the entire
match. enabled Barnes to win the fifth hole
In the morning in g. So far as putting was
concerned. both men were as steady as
rock This deadly short game came as an
agreeable surprise to Webb. who had had
his troubles on the lightning like greens
throughout the earlier stages OF the tour
nament
Webb began 10 do business at tho
eleventh hole in the morning. At point
when the outlook appeared as blue as the
sky above the Englewood man brought of
a full iron shot right up TO the hole side,
so that It was no trick at all to get a 3
stroke under par. by the way, the hole
being 37S yards long That started a win
ming streak by Webb, who won five OF the
next seven holes. At some Barnes should
have halved but he could have expected
nothing better. as the lad from New Jer-
sey was reeling of the holes in par figures.
Barnes made frequent mistakes, driving
weakly at times and going wide on the ap-
proaches. After squaring accounts on the
sixteenth green Webb proceeded 10 take
the lead for the first time by winning the
seventeenth. where Barnes almost missed
his tee shot. the ball landing in the trap.
hllve on the home green left Webb up
at the end OF the morning, both getting
around in So.
II was all Webb In the afternoon. Barnes
managing 10 win only two holes, the fourth
and sixth At the fourth Webb blundered,
but he never had a chance going to No. 8,
where Barnes, aided by a following WIND,
reached the green with drive and cleek
and almost got a 8, good work, considering
that the hole is more than quarter OF
mile in length. In the mean time Webo
had won the second third and fifth holes,
getting 3 at the last named, thanks to a
deadly mashie shot, which left him no put
at all.
BY winning the seventh. eighth and ninth
Webb became s up. He had gone out In q.
A halve in 4 at the tenth left him still With
an advantage OF 8, just opposite to the
situation at the same point IN the morning.
Thereafter the end came quickly, Webb
winning the next two holes and the match.
At the twelfth Webb ran up long APP
proach put over one OF the billowy un-
dulations TO within few inches OF tho
cup. Barnes had sliced his drive to- the
right and had failed to get on the green In
two more. When he saw where Webb had
got on his second he extended congratua-
tons without further delay.
