Travers nor Oulmct had any suCh wv

his tee shot, topping his second and
taking a 5 on the first hole, but from

There were eighteen goterS VINO

most consideration. Here Is sawyer

Here is Herron's card:

Holes Out at II Yards.
The star feature Of Herron's card
was d . on the thirteenth hole. This
hole is close to 400 yards in length and
q very fine 4. II cost Travers g. But
after a good drive Heron holed his
iron shot from II yards away-the
most sensational shot of the day.
The green here is guarded by deep
bunker. and beyond the bunker is an
elevation that hides the cup. But Her
ron must have used perscope, rs ms
shot went true, triekling IN without a
uuiYer. There were several other feat
ures to this opening round Of medal
play. One was the lightning finish OF
Id Byers. The Pittsburgh star played
the last FIVE holes in 2r3-4-4-3-
two better than a hard par.
Even more sensational than his was
the finish exhibited by Arthur Lee, of
Bloomfield. Mr. Lee demonstrated bet
tor than any one in championship his
tory that a golfer is never out of 1t as
long as he keeps on fighting. II was
generally conceded that it would take
an SIS 10 qualify. Lee was out in 46.
Re then needed a 80 to barely slip by.
But the tenth, a very easy 4, cost him Z,
SO here for ten holes Lee had used
up SO strokes, leaving him but 81
strokes for the last eight holes. He
took a par 5 on the eleventh, and then
proceeded 10 lift all restraint by fash
ing in as follows for the finish: 4-4-
3-4-3-3 for a SO and a card Of
s. safely home with three strokes to
spare. This round by all odds, was
the finest rally of the day.
To show again the uncertainties Of
Scotia's feverish game, a card was kept
Of the best and worst ball on each hole.
This card showed a 27 going out and
a &c coming in for SO as the best ball.
For the worst ball 1872 strokes, more
than double the number, were used.
For example, on the hole where Heron
20 o
difference of six strokes.
The field here, judging from the dis
play, is easily the finest that ever met
for an amateur championship, as more
OF the younger golfers are playing
better golf and the veterans are near
the top of their stride.
The main excitement will not arrive
until Monday, when the championship
81 will be determined, but from that
point on there will be excitement
enough TO last.
