Let it be recorded then. first, that
there is no pessimism at the front.
From Tommy to commander-in-c chief

MARSTON IN FINALS
OF ARC0LA GOLF
Baltusrol Expert to Meet Webb
for Cup in Tour
nament.
DYER LOSES HARD MATCH

Although forced 10 an extra hole In
the morning Max r. Marston of Bal
tusrol. won both his matches in the
invitation golf tournament at the Ar
cola Country Club yesterday. and as a
result will meet Roy D. Webb Of En-
giewood In the ~thirty-six hole final to-
day.
Marston was not on his putting In
the early hours. which accounts for his
close squeak with D.. n. Cooke Of the
home club. Later the Baitusrol golfer
went along more as he usually does
against n. II. Cunningham, another Ar
cola player. who flashed int the lime
light in the morning through the elimi-
nation of Hamilton X. Kerr OF Green
witch in a battle carried to the twenti-
eth green.
Although Marston appeared to be
playing indiferently against Donald
Cooke It's a fact that both men reached
the turn In good figures. the card with
n couple OF approximations showing 81
for each. They were square at that
point. Cooke missing a short putt on the
ninth green to win that hole.
In the mean time Webb had been hav-
ing II out with Archie Graham. a for
mer North Jersey star. Although hav-
ing plenty OF length to his game Ora
ham on the approaches lacked OCCASION
ally In Judgment OF distance. Webb
stood 2 UP at the turn and won by 3
and 2.
Webb appeared at his ,est against
Dyer. the Englcwood golfer showing the
form he had displayed In practice on
Wednesday. Where Webb scored was
on the approaches and putting. his short
game being particularly deadly after the
irst few holes.
Coincident with the frnal rounds to-
day In the various divisions there will
be a thirty-six hole handicap In which
