took a six.
The Western star evened up for
this on the third, whore he pitched
an approach stone dead for a three

Mcleod was in trouble twice on
the fourth. giving Barnes the hole
and lead. On the next hole Mcleod.
after a long drive, put mashie TO
within 8 feet Of the pin and ran down
the putting. This squared the match.
At the eight Barnes drove into
trouble and lost n ball. Mcleod win
ming the hole. Both stars played
the 5e5 yard dog-leg hole poorly and
took skies, one over par.
On the short tenth Barnes missed
the green with his tee shot, the ball
running on into n deep sand trap.
Barnes lost this one to and the
defending champion supporters
started to look worried with Mcleod
two holes in. 'front.' Then came one
of those quick changes for which
golf is famous. On the remaining
holes Barnes, playing sensationally'
was simply invincible. Seven OF the
eight holes went TO the western star
not because Mcleod was weak but
strictly on the merits OF unbeatable
golf.
