Reekie, New Golf Star,
Takes Lakewood Title
Upper Montclar Player Defeats Max R. Marston Of
Batusro by 1 Up in Match That Shows Good
Playing Only in Spots-Woolworth Promising.

ball was found in small pit, which
he took two strokes to get clear
with the result he actually lost the
hole instead OF winning It.
Considering he fell short on n weakly
played second shot to the thirteenth.
Marston was fortunate in getting a half
in 4. but no became down q little later
by taking three puts at the fourteenth.
Reekie Is Dormie.
masterful recovery from trap
helped Reekie win the fifteenth. his ball
coming to rest only q few feet from the
pin. Marstons second went wide and
he failed to get a 4. That made Reekle
dormie 3.
Reekie lost the sixteenth, falling short
of the green on his third shot. and Mars
ton getting n 8, while a. tho seventeenth
tho Upper Montclair man pulled his sec
ond TO a trap and Marston. making no
mistakes, got n =. Going to the home
hole neither man quite got to the green
on their seconds. and a half in left
Reekie up.
The cards:

The fast pace set by tho winners in
the ariy hours spoke volumes for their
ability. In fact. Marston did not hesi-
tate to declare that taking weather con-
dilons into consideration his golf here
had been as good as anything he has
shown in a long while.
wooIworth Likely Player.
Experience and steadiness always
gave him a distinct advantage over
Woolworth, whose game presents I'M
usual possibilities. The Princeton golfer
has an easy style, playing every shot
with little or no hesitation. His smooth
wrist action enables him TO get fine
distance with littlo apparent effort,
though the direction OF the full shots is
occasionally trifie wild.
On the other hand, Marston, save the
first two greens. where he took three
puts, was deadly at the short game.
His approaches gave him little to do
once the green was reached and at the
long 465 yards he ran up with the
mashie so closely as to sink the putt
for birdie 4.
4 few minutes later on the ninth tee
the wind cause Marston 20 almost lose
his balance at the top of the swing so
that he almost missed the globe. That
in and was responsible for the only
6 on his card. Despite that 8. Marston
went out in 40, his opponent taking AS
Par golf for three more holes left Mar
ston a winner.
