and lost. They were the first. where
Anderson got a I. and the ninth. won

all square at the turn. Both sides had
a best ball OF IS. The best of the
halved holes going out was the short

took a sudden turning. Travers pulled
his ball to the woods, which left II up
TO Marston to do the work for his side
ut that hole. Max didn't start any too
well. showing his drive to the rough. but
the other two players hit straight balls.
Kirkby's second shot landed into the
cross bunker and then Marston only did
a little better, his shot out OF the long
grass hitting the trap. but bounding
over. 1t looked like Anderson's hole
when the Siwanoy captain reached the
far edge of the green on his second shot.
Kirkby barely got out OF the bunker on
his third, and after his next effort his
ball was a long way short Of the cup.
Marston Clipped up to within six feet Of
the pin, while Anderson overran about
yard. Max then holed his putt for a
I, but Anderson. pulling his short one a
trifle, missed by a hairs breadth. Con-
sequently a hole that a moment before
looked as good as won for the Anderson
Kirkby combination went the other way.
Now one up. Marston proceeded to
clinch matters by winning the sixteenth.
The length of the hole is 1856 yards. and

these Indifferent tee shots they made
such excellent recoveries that with any

was no trick for Marston to win tho hole
in 3, which made his side dormie.
