Carter won an easy victory this after
noon over Dudley Nudge in the final
round of the Greenwich Country Clubs
invitation tournament, the Junior Metro
pOlitan champion defeating the holder
OF the Minnesota title by 6 up and 8 to
play.
Nudge. who distinguished himself yes
tcrday by beating Francis Ouiinet
played some more good soft in the semi
iiual round this morning when he put
MAJ r. Marston out Of the running by
a margin of . up and / to play. Nudge
made n "A against Marston this morn
ing, but never could have approached
that figure IL he had finished out this
afternoon, while Carter played at about
the same rate all day. He was out
in - this morning in the seni-ffnal
against Reginald VI. Lewis, whom he beat
by 3 up ard / to play. and was about a
stroke worse against Nudge In the final
this afternoon.
Carter had the better OF 1t right from
the start this afternoon, for he wat
putting for a 3 on the first hole and
just missed IL. while Nudge had to work
hard to halve the hole in 4. On the short
second Carriers tee snot was the better.
but the hole looked as though II would
DO halved until a stymie cut ON
Mudge's chance Tor a 2. Nudge tried to
jump 1t. but ran over the cup and lost
the hole. Carter had "A fine chance to
win the third. for his second reached
the green, while Nudge took three 20
get on. but the Nassau youngster took
three puts and the hole was halved.
Poor second and third shots cost
Nudge the long fourth. and Carter made
II 3 up by getting down a twenty foot
putt for a 3. II was the only really
long putt of the round and wasn't
needed. as Nudge already had played his
Fourth and had not holed out.
A little ignorance of the rules
cropped up on the sixth. Carter topped
his second and it lodged in a crevice
between the rocks on the further side
OF the brook that guards the green.
Julian W. Curtis. who was In charge
OF the match, ruled that the rocks were
part ut the hazard and that Carter
could drop bach with "A penaky OF one
stroke. Whereupon Carter calmly
dropped his bail between the brook and
the green and played his next stroke,
Many ~ the golfers in the gallery at
once rushed UP to Mr.. curtiss TO ask
why Carter had not been compelled to
pu the brook between himself and the
hole. Nudge had the hole safely won
anyway. so after a couple OF strokes
had been played by both they picked
up, the hole going 20 Mudge and reducing
Carriers lead to . VI.
They halved the seventh in ). Nudge
taking three shots from the edge OF the
green, when he seemed sure 10 win the
hole, but ON the eighth Carter picked
up another hole, for Nudge took three
purts on the sloping green.
They halved the ninth in 3. Carter
saving himself with a fine chip shot.

Nudge put his tee shot squarely on
the tenth green, while Carter wa
trapped on the left. but three puts by
the Minnesota champion cost him his
best opportunity to regain some of the
lost ground, on the eleventh he fiubbed
his second Shot and lost the hole, Carter
becoming 1 up. Carriers tee shot UP the
hill! to the twelfth gave him "A chance
for >. but he didn't need II. as Nudge
