And then came Mike King Brady, one
of the home-bred stars, who has
knocked at the portal of fame before,
only to fade by stroke or two
For eight holes Mike travelled eact-
ly even with par where on three holes
his putt hung on the damp lip of the
cup. At the ninth he made his first
slip, where he took puts. This sent
him out in Sc. On the way back he
maintained the same steady, even pace,
hitting long, fine ball from the tee,
playing his irons we'll, but having no
great luck on the greens.
At that his IA left him in a fine po-
sition, only two strokes from the top
without the worry Of setting pace.

You may observe from this recount
that Sir Michael played Is of the 18
holes in par, as tidy an exhibition as
one would want. Here we might we'll
insert the battle between the two great
amateurs, Chick Evans, open and anna
teur champion, and Francis Ouimet,
who has also owned both titles.
Evans VS.. Ouimet
Evans, battling in defence of the
title which he won at Minikahda in
1916, found his worst fate again on the
greens. Playing with deadly precision
from the tee through the fairway
where he used both wood and iron with
all the spectacular grace his style can
show, he once more found the ancient
mystery of the greens beyond his
touch, even on day where the rain
and mist left the green's slow and more
to the Western fashion.
Ouimet, on the contrary. had one
of those combinations of rare and rag
ged golf that gave spectacular effect to
his journey. He had a round that
might have been 68 or an &c. For a
short cluster of holes he would have
the big gallery roistering it's applause.
Then he would slip and falter, and just
as you thought he had been blown for
good back he would come in the old
time Ouimet way with another set of
thrillers.
AT the start his iron play went
astray. He soon steadied this defect.
Then coming home his wooden plav
went askew where at the 10th and
1lth he hooked out of bounds and at
the long 18th found the rough. These
three hooked tee shots cost him d
strokes, but with the same indomitable
courage of old he always came back in
time to save his scalp.
Some Faultless Putting
Ouimet took 3 puts on the first and
the final green, on the latter taking 3
puts from six feet, where he seemed
to have in hand for "a. But in
between his putting was faultless He
always went boldly for the cup and
by giving the ball a chance canned
more than one that seemed bevond his
hope.

Starting at the eighth hole, he had

effort came at the 491-yard tenth.
