Nudge, of Yale, by 81 and . to play
in the final round.
The outcome was never in doubt, for
Nudge, who put out Ouimet on Tuesday,
was plainly tired after his victory over

ever, accomplished something worth

Carter's success was his fifth of the
season. He carried off the principal
trophies at Pinehurst, Oakland, Nassau
and Sleepy Hollow in addition to win

only one hole, that being the sixth,
where Carter looked up on his midiron
second shot and topped it into the
water hazard.
Not only did Carter outdrive his OPP

able TO hold his own in every other de-
partment. The metropolitan junior
champion was up at the turn, and
winning the eleventh, twelfth and
thirteenth holes in par figures or less,
quickly settled the issue. The cards

Early in the day Carter overcame
Reginald VI. Lewis. Of Ridgefeld, by
a 3 to / margin. Lewis was not on his
game except in putting, and the only
reason why the match was carried to
the seventeenth green was because
Lewis ran down a series of long puts
such as would discourage almost any
one but the light-hearted Carter.

ended on the seventeenth, when Lewis
| badly overplayed his chip shot approach.
Nudge and Marston had an interest
/ ing match. In fact, it was this contest
which attracted the largest gallery.
! Nudge is usually deadly iron player
! and puts we'll. He is inclined to be
short off the tee, and rather deliberate
in his tactics, quite the opposite of
Marston. The New Jersey champion
likes to play quickly and drives well,
but often is on the outs with his irons.
I Thus, MarstOn consistently outdrove
Nudge, whereas the latter excelled up
to and on the greens.
Both went out in par SO, showing
/ that they were in a good scoring vein,
and Nudge stood l up at the turn.
/ Although Marston drew level at the
/ eleventh, when his opponent overlap
/ preached, the New Jersey champion
began to show wildness off the tee and
uncertainty in other departments, so
that when Nudge became 2 up at the
fifteenth it marked the beginning Of
the end. Nudge went around in IA to
the others rs.
Playing the final match in the Sec
ond sixteen, Charles +. Van Week, jr.,
of Baltusrol, opposed Dwight Partridge,
of Bedford, holder of the Westchester
County title. The former, who has been
struggling with his golf for the greater
part of the season, suddenly found him.
self, and, going around at about r.
clip, beat Partridge by up and to
play.
Francis Ouimet followed the Mars
ton-Mudge contest with interest. He
was particularly observant of the man.
ner in which the Yale man played his
half iron shots. Usually careful about
expressing opinions, Ouimet took occa-
sion to give vent to his feelings on two
situations. The first Of these was when
Nudge laid Marston a stymie on the
twelfth hole and prevented the New
Jersey title holder from winning il.
Those things ought to be abolished"
Ouimet observed, unless IL happens
that a man lays one for himself, such
as | did yesterday on the thirteenth
against Nudge. Certainly Marston
should have won that hole"
A moment later Marston sent his tee
shot at the thirteenth curling to the
right into the woods. While a search
was in progress Ouimet further vent
ured the opinion that the penalty for
losing the ball in match play was en-
tirely too severe.
ITO my mind, there is no reason why
a lost ball should be considered the
same as out Of bounds" he said.
Ouimet left in the afternoon for
Philadelphia, TO prepare for the tri-
state matches for the Lesley Cup at
Merton beginning tomorrow. Gar
diner w. White and Carter will leave
late to-day.
