c"sar feet from the pin, and Hyde was
'-1ppei about half way between the tee
md 'ne II, u. His shot from the pit was
'nO strong and the ball flew over the
green into the woods beyond. He played
gu GO the edge OF the green and then
ran down a twenty foot putt for his T.
Al that having been accomplished, X
vas the Garden City veterans turn TO
ray his second. Perhaps the unusual
situation was responsible, and perhaps u
was something else. but Travis proceeded
20 take three puts and tho hole was
halved

tq44hn'c in their match. Stearns prob
lh.y would have protested to the com

beside the old fourteenth tee. The bench
vas fixed in the ground and Stearns held
'ha, 1t could not be moved. while Mar
