State Golf Title for

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. Aug. II.
Jimmie Standish II the first Mich
igan golfer to hold the state golf
championship thrice. Phil Stanton

the cup twice. but Standish's vic.
tory yesterday puts him In . class
by himself.
For once In his life. Standish
felt like Chick Evans In q western
tournament. Twice In two years
has Standish worked mp to the finals
In the western golf tournament. and
twice has he made q miserable
showing against Evans. Chick al.
ways seemed z be at top form
when he played Standish. and Jim
ME was always on his game.
Yesterday the tables were turned.
Standish made very neat round OF
the course Of the Kent Country club.
while Grinnell. who suffered sen
ously from nervousness. got bad
start and played no championship
golf until the match was nearly
over. Then his brace won him
nothing. The final count was seven
and six.
Wilbur Cakes won the open state
tournament with score Of 15s. and
Howard Lee was second with a
count of lS2. This gives Detroit q
clean sweep In the state tourna-
ment play.
