mashis pitch ovor a wide chasm Of sand

mashis pitch ovor a wide chasm OF sand
for a distance of about i20 yards, was
misplaced by both men. Dyer's tee
shot ran over the green and landed In
tho rough In the back, with the end
OF a shallow sand trap between the ball
and the cup. Brokaw had the distance
about right, but slice carried his ball
under treo and into deep grass.
IL was critical point, and both
studied tho situation carefully; then
Dyer, with jigger, tried TO get a
slight pitch and run to his ball. He
topped the shot and the rubber core
barely trickled to the edge of the green.
Brokaw decided to use mashie-niblick
from the long grass, and overran the
cup by at least fifteen feet. Each took
two puts to get down, and went TO the
third tee 70 settle the matter.
Dyer kept his drive straight hero,
while Brokaw had costly slice that
brought his ball up in the rough to the
right and fifty yards back OF his OPP
ponent's. His second overran the green
and landed in the rough to the left;
The end was in sight when Dyer laid
his second ten feet from the pin. Bro
kaw tried valiantly TO hole out from
the edge of tho rough, but the ball re-
fused to go down, and he picked up
when he saw his case was hopeless.
The most spectacular shot Of the day,
probably, was the one pulled by Bert
Allen, of Fox Hills. on the eighteenth
hole, in his morning match with {. r.
Van Week, jr., Of Baltusrol, which tho
latter won by l up. The hole Is only a
matter Of I4S yards over the pond, with
a we'll trapped green. Van Week laid

Allen put bit too much on his, and
the ball landed In one Of the yawning
pits to the right Of the green. When
Allen glanced sadly into the trap he
saw his ball Nesting against the steep
side furthest from the hole. Van Week
commiserated with his opponent, ana
Allen jumped down and called for his
niblick.
Forty or fifty club members and
other players were seated on the porch
Of the clubhouse at the time, while a
score stood on the brink Of the trap,
waiting to see Allen take his forlorn
chance. Probably not ten among the
crowd expected to see Allen even get
out.
But the red-headed Fox Hills player,
taking mighty swipe at the ball.
lifted it clear Of the trap, followed by a
shower Of sand, with so much back spin
that the rubber core stopped scant
foot from the edge Of the cup. Allen
was actually compelled to bow low IN
acknowledgment as tho gallery voiced
its applause. But IL all went for moth
Ing, for Van Week, taking no chances,
sent his second straight into the cup,
and the match was over.
