New-York tribune., 1919-10-11

To start the day Heron found him
self opposed to Archie Reid, who be-
came prominent as golfer when q
student at Yale. Later Reid won
numerous ST. Andrews championships,
but for the last five years he had been
absent from the links. Although he
still plays good game, Reid never
had q chance against Heron, mainly
because of the latter's exceptional tee
shots, The Pittsburgh golfer lined the
ball out for carries Of $50 Yards, some
times longer.
Despite this advantage, Heron was
unable TO shake his opponent off until
the match had gone distance. The
champion got bird" at the eighth
hole, laying g second shot close to
the flag and sinking the putt for a 3.
A 8 at the ninth left him up at the
turn. He had gone out in SO to Reid's
Al.
Reid Makes a Rally
Coming back Heron drove wildly at
the twelfth and thirteenth holes, and
those tee shots off the line were just
enough to prevent him from getting
As, SO that Reid won both.
For moment it looked as if the St.
Andrews man might win the four
teenth and square the match, as Her
ron's second shot landed in trap
near the green. Davey laid good nib
lick shot from the sand to within a
few feet Of the hole and sank the putt
for 4. That made him up again.
Reid holed a good putt for at
the fifteenth, but Heron drove so far
at the sixteenth that he only needed
8 mashie niblick shot to get home. The
4 there won that hole and made him
dormie Reid then defeated himself
by going into the bunker at the seven
teenth Heron completed the round
in 7s to Reid's 81.
Later on Heron met Grant Peacock,
who row represents Garden City. For.
merly these two were Oakmont club
mates and they had many pattles to-
gether there. The advantage was all
with Heron yesterday, for in addition
to having far the better of the long
game, he was more steady on the
green's. Peacock lost the first hole,
where his opponent sank q good putt
for a, while at the third the Garden
City man missed a short putt A sliced
second shot cost him the fourth hole,
so that Heron became up going to
No. 5. There the champions second
shot found a trap, and Peacock won
with 4.
HERON Up on Turn
Heron got down a good putt to win
the seventh hole, becoming 3 up again,
but Peacock "stole" the ninth by lay
ing rare niblick shot from the trap
to within yard of the cup and getting
3. That left Heron 2 up at the turn.
He had gone out in 81 to Peacock's
49,
From there on it was case of par
hot ~ ~
yards up hill to the tenth green, vet
Heron had no trouble in getting there
in 2. 1t enabled him to win the hole in
to s, as Peacock fell green shy on his
second.
They halved the next two holes in
perfect figures, but Heron won the
thirteenth in a. His second shot left
him IN the edge of the rough just off
the green, but he pitched up practically
dead and, getting down the putt, won
the hole when Peacock needed three
puts from distance of twenty-five
feet. Heron won the match on the
fourteenth green. Up to that time his
card showed even As, as follows:
