Of only over As, Max R. Marston, Of
the Baltusrol Golf Club, overwhelmed
hoy D. Webb by up and 6 to play in
tho final round Of the New Jersey State
Golf Association championship tourna-
ment over the links Of the Essex Coun-
~ Country Club yesterday.
The Englewood Country Club golfer
made a good stand in the morning.

but there was no coping with MarstOn
in the afternoon, the Baltusrol man
making the first eight holes in two bet
tel than As
Webb is slight of build, weighing less
than 1870 pounds, and in an all-day
struggle he needs 10 save his energy;
yet, perhaps because Of long standing
habit, he persists in making practice
swings before the various shots. Be
sides playing better golf, Marston set
an example Of quick. clean hitting that
+ Webb might do worse than to try TO
emulate.
A large gallery followed the con-
testants. II was a characteristic Jer-
sey turnout, and most of those present
were well acquainted with the players.
Marston, who resides only few miles
south of Hutton Park, always plays the
/ Essex County course well, and his many
/ admirers saw him al his best yester-
/ day. Webb's friends were also in evil
! dcrce, and they had hopes of their man
/ winning until Marston cut loose in the
afternoon. Both had scores of 70 in
! the morning.
Abou: the best thing Webb did all
| day was the way he started in the
morning. The first hole is 230 yards,
slightly uphill, and both men drove
the green. Webb. however, brought
| of a 30-foot putt for 2. II was his
first and last. for not once again dur
} ing the day did he sink what might be
termed a long putt.
Marston putted steadily. rarely miss
ing anything in reason, especially dur
ing the afternoon. On a number of oc-
casiQne the tall Baltusrol golfer left
himself with trying puts to win holes,
and he almost invariably brought them
off
An idea of the fine long game of the
new champion may be gained when it
is stated that all he needed on the
I fifth tee was a midiron. This hole is
$50 yards long, down an incline; yet
Marston got home nicely with the club
mentioned.
There is one hole at Essex that Mars
/ ton does not play well. The eleventh,
down the mountainsde, has bothered
/ him all week. and he lost it both times
yesterday. This hole is 375 yards and
slightly on the elbow variety. 1t is
hard to keep from going out of bounds,
because a we'll hit ball can almost
reach the green, but if started the least
biz wrong il is almost certain to bring
up in trouble.
Throughout the day Webb got
bunkered more frequently than the
other man, and there were times when
he seemed to be followed by the hard
est kind of luck. An overapproach is
generally a we'll played shot--that is,
much better than the ball that goes
only half way.
/ On several occasions Webb was pen
allied for being too strong with his
mashie. For instance, at the sixth
hcle, where there now is trap back
of the green, Webb's second shot trick
| lee across into the sand. This was IN
the afternoon round, and he met with
a similar experience on mis- second shot
/ at the ninth a little later When the
committee at Essex does any more
trapping il might improve the course

: Paul Moore. of the Morris County
/ Golf Club. runner-up in the recent Tux
edo tournament, had to work hard TO
win the second sixteen cup. In the
/ 36-hole final round with Charles r. Nc
MILAN. a home player, Moore was never
up until he finally won the match at
the first extra hole, making 81 in all.
There was large turnout for the
medal play handicap, which F. W. l..
Fullerton. of Baltusrol, won with
card of $3.50. Oswald Kirkby the
former title holder, returning 76, won
/ the gross award.
