putting, taking three. On the twentieth

| missed his putt after Truett had fallen
down badly on his approach. Truett
| topped his second shot on the twenty
| first. which enabled the Wilmington play
err TO win it. In the early part of the
match McGeorge's putting was his
strongest game, as he ran down several
long ones but he could not keep up the
| good work, which. to a large extent, en-
abled Truett to creep up on him.
