III cof. Yesterday at Englewood, for
=. Army y. NJ. c. A. fund, Oswald
y,,kby and John G. Anderson carried
-. two Boston entries TO the thirty
.;x,b hole before they toppled into the
,-ot,o but the same old answer de-
,.,oned. Ouimet and Guilford were
,,Iv Up facing the final hole in the
,nernoon. but brace Of IS here
,,ajss: two Is settled the issue in
what will probably be the last Of the
..s.on's four-ball matches.
Private Ouimet, ot the National
AMY. plsying in his uniform, had
sSv lavses, due 70 the cold, singing
ND and the fact that he hadn't swung
= GOLF club in two weeks. But after a
Sa;n the forenoon he came back with
srs "a in the afternoen--exceptional
gnE against all the hsndicaps OF
Gather and lack Of practice. With his
avn good golf he was ably assisted by
hoiss in the morning round than his
famous partner did, Guilford saving or
winning six holes to 0uiret's five.
Two Steadiest Rounds
Oswald Kirkhy had the two steadiest
rounds Of the day, with 1916, play
ing consistently throughout, and. with
Johnny Anderson's aid, especially IN
N. afternoon, the New York team gave
N. Bostonians one of the hardest bat
lie. they have had all year.
Conditions were far from being ideal
tor golf. The day was cold enough for
ro,tbwest Siberia, and the only wonder
l. that the four golfers did so well. At
times their hands were numb from the
singing wind, and numb hands ore no
great aid toward the subjugation OF
par.
In the way Of team results, fortune
favored the two Bostonians, for, while
Kirkby. for example, was 3 up on
Ouimet and up on Guilford over the
35-hole march, he and his partner had
too many OF their good holes together.
In the forenoon round Johnny An
derson was not able to contribute has
usual share. but in the afternoon he
warmed up in a more fitting way 20 the
lob and helped TO stem the Massachu-
sets rush at several spots. Guilford,
VINO had taken care Of six holes in the
forenoon, the days biggest contrlbu-
ton, vas able TO help on but two holes
in the afternoon, as Ouimet had set
lied down 20 his old stride. He was
out in 81 and back in 81, with very
few lapses for the best individual
round Of the day.
In the afternoon Anderson, who was
out in 40, came racing back IN S6, drop
ping q 8 on the 440-yard fourteenth.
In the way Of long distance hitting
Kirby more than held his own against
the two long range finders when the
days average is considered.
Opens With flourish
Ouimet opened the morning cam
paign with g flourish when he iTopped
.en-foot putt for 3. the others all
needing 5's for a starter. After this
Srst dash the two BostoniRnS were
never headed the rest Of the way.
Kirkbv squared the match with a fine
9 AZ the ninth hole, but Guilford I'M
mediately jumped his team TO the. front
again with q 8 at the tenth and at
the eleventh.
Kirby cut down the letd by win
ming the thirteenth, and the match was
again squared at the short fifteenth.
But Guilford once more rushed to the
attack by winning the sixteenth ana
eighteenth holes, leaving his side two
Up al lunch.
Guilford's timely forenoon help had
saved the day. For in the afternoon,
0uimet. who had slipped on several oc-
easions during the morning, came lack
with a rush The first seven afternoon
holes were halved, but 0uimet's at
the eighth put Boston up. The Text
FIVE holes were halved when Anderson
responded at the long fourteenth with
g. Two down at the fifteenth tee,
Kirkby sunk here, but Ouimet also
contributed a 20 the occasion and
the New York team was then down
and 3 20 play.
Guilford saved the sixteenth. and
when Anderson and Kirkby won the
seventeenth they were then but one
down, coming 70 the short eighteenth.
The Metropolitan stars both slipped
here, while both Ouimet and Guilford
had par 3's, maintaining their morning
lead al the wind-up.
Here are the cards approximately
for tie double round:
