BOw to Sidney Shdrw00d

urlNeS, whlle not 30 straight as the
Southerner's, began 10 come 10 rest ten
ana twenty yards further along the
Iairways, and this may have affected
PauFs feeling Of confidence
On the seventeenth Sherwood topped
ms tee shot badly, and the ball bound
ed feebly down the side Of the hill for
perhaps 125 yards. only TO come 20 rest
between two little hassocks. Loking
the situation over, Sherwood faced a
I hanging lie. with steep rise 10 carry
IN the first 100 yards and the hole
was still 800 yards away.
Il was a time of stress. calling for
heroic measures. and the hope Of
Merton called for his spoon. A mighty
swlpe and the club head tore through
dirt and stubble and the ball sailed
away toward the green; nor did II stop
unit ~ landed some eighty yards shy
or the mole. u was a remarkable re
covery and enabled Sherwood TO get his
half, after Paul came to grief on the
wee putt.
Plays II Safe.
Going 10 the home hole Paul had
the advantage on the drives. Sherwood
/ silclng 10 the edge of the rough. His
second was still off in direction. and he
had TO take one more before finding the
green. Paul had played il safe and was
on the edge OF the green in ,.
Sherwood was ten feet 20 the bad on
his hrst putt. Paul. thirty feet from
the cup, ran the ball W to within q
half yard.
AN eXtra-hole match now" said a
man in the gallery" and indeed II
seemed so, for win would bring the
| players all square. Paul needed that
Putt. II was only eighteen inches. but
he studied the turf between ball and
hole carefully and then made his try,
but he only trimmed the cup. and Shar-
wood, who had sunk his ten-footer for
8, halved the hole and won the
match.
Sensational Ending.
Pauls match against Herreshof in
| the morning had n sensational ending
on the home green. Going out Heres
| hof was down at the turn. but Keeling
off the first FIVE holes of the inward
! journey in 8. 3. 4. a, 4. left him in the
lead by q margin OF ] up. Paul got
I the next, however, in 4 to 5, and the
sixteenth and seventeenth were halved
in DOGGY figures.
Both drove wildly from the last tee,
and Paul. using an iron. swung so hard
| that his foot slipped. and his second
shot was hooked badly and lay at rest
! in. the woods.
II looked all over then for the gen
| tleman from North Carolina. A circu-
lar group Of mourners surrounded the
! spot where the ball lay. between two
dead branches on the ground.
Paul knelt over and looked at the
ball, then carefully, gingerly, like a
man playing jack straws, he began TO
remove parts of the branches Finally
there was left only the larger Of the
two, but when the player tried TO pry
that away he efound that the ball
would also be moved.
He tilted one end of the branch up
six inches and then called to his caddy
TO hold il in that position while he took
a shot at il. II seemed impossible to
get the ball out clearly, if at all. but
Paul did il with def chip shot from
a nibliek, and the ball ran out over the
rough and trickled on to the green,
some fifteen feet from the pin.
o., Herreshor, in the mean time, was
! frittering away shots recklessly, and
after reaching the far edge of the green
in proceeded TO take three puts. Paul
won the hole and the match by running
down in two more shots, the figures
reading and G.
Il was a hard match TO lose, but
Herreshof grinned good naturedly as
he shook hands with his opponent
. A. J. Mcclure won the second sixteen
cup and the prize for the best gross
score in the 1o-hole handicap went 70
