a, hole final OF the New Jersey golf
.h,mnionship at the Essex County Coun-
,ry club. Roy n. Webb faded away In
,,s second round this afternoon. and
Narston won by : up and 6 to go. The
landslide victory was most unexpected

II wa good golf every yard OF the way
both morning and afternoon that gave
Marston the STATE title.
Webb opened the hostilities this morn
lnr by sinking a t~h,rty-hve foot putt
on the first green. getting a 2. and
taking the lead at the outset. Marston.
evidently realizing that one long putt
means little In a thirty-six hole match,
refused to let Webb's feat bottle him,
but kept hard at work and was re-
wsrded by reaching the turn | up. He
was 2 up a moment before. but Webb's
good 4 on the ninth cut the lead In
two. Marston was out In Sc and Webb
In 81.
The tenth was halved. but on the
eleventh, which he played badly In
nearly every round. Marston chung 10
his usual custom and lost the hole, the
match becoming all square. Tbs th!r-

in the lead once more. but was unable

again. Marston also won the six

Anticipating another exciting round
In the afternoon a big gallery followed
the two ilnalists when they resumed
play after luncheon. II did not take
long. however. to discover that rhe
afternoon programme was destined to
b. decidedly different. Marston was as
good as ever-a little better perhaps
but webb began to falter and soon was
out Of the running.
The chief factor in Marston's victory
seemed to be his superiority from the
tees. Webb had to play the odd on
nearly every hole and in most cases 1t
was almost a hopeless odd. for Mars
tons ball would be yards in advance.
On the first. fourth and fifth holes Mars
ton reached the green from the tee and
Webb was back In the ruck with an APP
proach shot 10 play. Webb tired rapidly
as Marston won hole after hole. and at
the turn the Baltusrol golfer was : up
and out in 81. He made IL s up and
dormie by winning the tenth. but again
the eleventh wac his stumbling block
and his sliced drive left him behind some
trees, so that he could not reach the
green with his second. Webb won the
hole, the only one that he did win in the
afternoon. and kept the match alive a
little longer. The twelfth was halved
IN 4, however. and 1t was all over but
the final handshake and the rush for
