trying for the title than did Nichols.
Mcdonald did not make any Is durinr
the -four rounds, he had only two Gs
on his card. but the IS and IS were not
so many in number as on his rivals
score. 1t was good. steady hitting OF
the ball all the way by a big n
with plenty of power and the knowl-
edge Of just how to use it to produce
the desired results. 1t was not spec
tacular golf at any stage, which
was evidenced by the fact that al
though he was one of the leaders from
the start of the tourney not more than
a handful of spectators followed him
until ne reached the last two holes
Yesterday afternoon, and ii was ielrned
by those who had been watching Hagen
and Nichols that the burly Scotchman
from Buffalo had two As to tie for the
title. Even then only score of spec
tators followed him out to the seven
teenth the majority preferring to wait
around the home green and see only
the last hole.
Lost Splendid Chance.
AS it turned out. the lazy ones saw all
the excitement after all, for Mcdonald
all but threw away his chance for the
championship on the last hole of the
seventy-two. After a good drive in the
teeth of high wind he found his ball
a little to the left of the center of the
fairway, leaving a trap between him
and the pin. Evidently he wanted to
make sure of clearing the trap, for he
pitched his ball so high in the air that
the wind carried it into the long grass
on the steep slope between the two pits
W hich guard the right side of the
green. 1T was more luck than anything
else that let his ball cling to the slope
instead of rolling into one Of the pits,
but it did stick. Even with that much
luck Mcdonald was left with the hard
est kind of Il shot, for il was almost
impossible to get a firm stance. After
trying his best to dig his feet into the
sloring turf he finally gave up the
effort, and. balancing himself on his
toes, hit the ball just as his feet seemed
about to slip from under him. 1t was Il
great shot, for the ball ran past the
hole and stopped not more than a foot
and a half away He then hoied the
putt.
Although he almost threw away the
title on the home hole, Mcdonald really
won his half-ownership in it further
out Oh the course. 1t took him 81 to
reach the turn on his last round, and
better golf than that coming in was
necessary if he was to win. So he
played better golf, played it on the
539yard thirteenth. where he got a 4
in the teeth of the wind. Two shots
took him pretty close to the green,
his approach put him within EIGHT feet
of the pin, and he ran down the putt
for his A. On the fourteenth the wind
was with him, so he proceeded to drive
almost to the edge of the green, 300
yards away, and ) was easy. A
stroke was lost on the next hole, where
his tee shot took him into trouble. On
both the sixteenth and seventeenth he
missed puts which hit the cup but re-
fused to go down. Each would have
clipped a stroke Off par and would
have won the title for him If they had
sunk, so he surely was knocking at the
door on the last few holes. Then came
the home hole with its narrow escape
from disaster, but which ended well
and gave him 70 for the round, Just
