reciprocated by jumping Phillipss ball
and laying the latter a stymie Oh his
own account. Phillips then proceeded
to win the sixth, eighth and eleventh

a hole since the second, was then 3
down with only seven more to play
At this juncture the young Philadel-

the fourteenth in par B. won the fif
teenth in three which was nearly a
Z, and became l up when he sank 40
foot putt from the green for on
the long sixteenth, which lacks a yard
