GO TO EXTRA GREEN

wood, and F. ]. Sheble,
Shawnee, Furnish One of
Thillers in Open Event
PARRISH IS VICTOR

SHAWNEE ON DELAWARE, Pa, Oct.
S-There were some very close matches
In the first round of match play in the
annual fail invitation golf tournament of
the Shawnee Country Club here today.
Being a handicap event. matches that
were square should have been played
over again, but as two rounds each day
have to be played, It was decided that
in the event of players being even on
the home hole an extra hole or holes
should be played without handicap.
Curlously enough three contests ended
upon the nineteenth hole, two in the first
sixteen and one in the second.
In the first IS Mrs. Florian Rrug, of
Englewood, put up a wonderful fight
against Frank j. Sheble, of Shawnee, who
had to allow her eight strokes Sheble
was four up at the 11th hole, and al
though Mrs. Krug won one and halved
three of the next she was still three
down and three to play. She displayed
wonderful pluck and by winning the next
three holes and squared the match on the
18th. Sheble, however got off a good
drive on the 18th and put his second on
the green while Mrs. Krug failed to reach
the green in four and conceded II to her
opponent.
The leveling power of the handicap was
illustrated In the match between e. H.
Worthington, of the home club, and
Joseph M. Byrne, Jr., of Deal. Worth
ington was compelled to concede his op-
ponent nine strokes. and they kept well
together from start to finish. They were
all even at the 18th, but Byrne losing a
ball at the next, became one down,
Worthington needed three puts on the
18th green else he would have won that
He halved the next hole after landing
in the water on his tee shot, but made a
hash of the long nth. so that they were
square going TO the home hole. Both
were wide on their drives to the 18th,
Byrne slicing and the other pulling.
Byrne then beat himself by ftIssing about
for ive more strokes. so that worthlng-
ton was enabled 10 win by five to six.
