finished off successful remittance into
| golfing activities since his return from
| France. Carter won the final of the
Shinnecock Hills invitation tournament.
He defeated Richard A. Haight, up, in
| tv enty holes
The match was. essentially a battle of
| ambition and daring rather than OF
craft and caution. None of the deliber-
ate. calculating employment of wits
usually seen in final matches was in
evidence.
| 1t was youth and youth. and. as all
| ways, youth tore in for everything in
I sight Also youth bundered into mis-
take after mistake. How evenly divided
| were these mistakes may be judged from
the distance of which the two were re-
quired to battle for a decision.
But IL there were mistakes aplenty
there were likewise brilliant spots
enough. The combination produced in
| terest at all times. There were no dull
moments. AS an indication of the neck
and neck nature of the tussle 1t may be
pointed out that eight of the first nine
holes reached decision. Only three of
the second nine were halved.

fours on the first. The second went to

the third. He dropped his tee shot
within three feet of the flag. Carter
overran his approach and missed his

he could do no better than a 5. Carter
peeled off a par 4.
Carter took the sixth with a 8, against
Haight's 8. The latter got in the rough
from the tee and then fell short on his
second. But the next saw another flash
of brilliant play by Haight. The hole

efforts to fall just off the edge of the
green. He Clipped his third nicely up.

The eighth, another long one into the

on with his tee shot, while Carter over
ran into a trap. He made a nice out,

ment Carter found the range on the
short, troublesome fourteenth. His spoon
shot held the green and he dropped a 8.

failing TO get out in two attempts he
picked up. The fifteenth went to Haight

ond found trap and he took two to set
