Easy Match for Hagen.
Walter Hagen took things rather
.s,ly in his match with J. J. O'Brien,
n Mansfield. Ohio, and soon had an
,5ysnisge Of up when they went 70
lvreheon. Il was the frs: day since
he tournament began that the Roch-
ester pro felt certain of his game.
Vilhou, much effort he registered "a
n the morning and continued in the
riiernoon round at about the same
Ttsd, finally sweeping his opposition
aside at the ninth hole by a margin
q 10 up and 9 20 play.
NseFarlane had 10 set q pretty fast

Of Searsdale, who was not content by
king three down in the forenoon and
issgkt his way back to even terms at
he tenth hole in the afternoon. Dow
linz broke under the strain, however,
nd MseFsrlane was able to pull out

I'm good battle from the first tee till

h:rd shot he never regained the lead
fer this, as Barnes won the fifth,
wen the Siwanoy pro missed a two
,5ot putt for a half. Barnes missed
,tort one on the twelfth and it looked
iopeful for Mount Vernon for a mo-
rsnt but Barnes sank a ten-footer on
lse next for a 3 and was still two up.
Chance on Thirteenth.

rtnth. He was on the green with a
