They played along at about an even
game until the fifteenth hole, at which
time James was three down with four
holes to go. and 1t did not look like the

of those streaks for which he u noted
and did some really wonderful work.
He won the fifteenth In par four. On the
sixteenth Price was on the greAn in one
and within a. foot of the pin in two. while
James pulled his tee shot to the ditch
and had what appeared to be an impos-
, slble lie. He was forced to wade into the
water and with one foot ankle deep and
the other hign on the bank he TOOK his
niblick and made an out on to the green,
but overrunning the hole by at least nj
teen yards, his ball rolling on the crab
grass which skirts the green.
