golfer it is putt. AS rule he iss a
marvel around the green's.
To-day he was driving with rare pre-
cision and dropping his second shots>
within a few feet of the cup, but once
again the trustv blade that has helped
him so many times proved to be a
tickle mate. He hit his approach puts
in spectacular fashion. 1t was the two
and three footers that sent cold and
clammy chills up and down his spine.
Here are a few samples of what we
mean. He was all even with the 4s up
to the seventh. At the short eighth
hisstee shot was twelve feet from the
pin, with straight uphill road. He
came within gnat's evelash Of holing
2, slipped two feet past and then
missed his 8. Still he was out in SO.
Hits Two Fine Shots
Coming to the 50O-yard 10TH Nc
Namara hit two fine shots within 10
yards of the green. His chip shot
drifted only 2 feet from the cup, and
once again he blew the putt. Another
2 foot miss at the 18th cost him an
other stroke. In spite of this he set
tied down and at the 18th pitched a
mashie niblick effort to within 18
inches of the cup for 3. He holed
a 2O-foot putt for a 3 at the tricky
10th after two fine shots. and at the
255 17th he Clipped to within 3 inches
of the cup for another B, his third
in row.
This left him for 72, tying
his own and Hoffners record. Two fine
pokes planted his ball in the middle
of the green. His approach putt left
him another two footer TO hold, and
for the fourth time in his round he
missed from this distance.

If Chick Evans had maintained the
putting touch he started with he would
have been around in II. His game from
the tee and through the green had all
the magic of q rare machine. Straight
down the middle and up to the pin
was the only system that he knew.
And he began like a master Of the put
ter would start. He missed 12 footer
on the first by half an inch. He holed
an s footer on the second for g. He
almost holed a 50-foot chip sho. on
the third
He dropped 4 footer on the 4th
and, coming to the short 6th he was
even As, but here he skedaddled his
mashie pitch into the water short of
the green for the second time. It was
his one mistake of the round, off the
green's. Even here he sunk a 10 footer
for A.
After this record follows fine tee
shots and fine irons, but puts at the
7th, 10th, 11th, 12 and 10th holes, in
each case the final miss being from o1a
to feet.

Badly ut of Gear
Ouimet's game was badly out of gear
Where he had seven IS Monday, he had
only two 3s to-day. After starting
with two as, he botched up the third
and fourth holes through poor work
with the putter and iron. good finish
took him out in 80. Coming home he
had bad break at the short 18th
where his iron left him inches off
the green and only Is feet from the
cuj, but half buried in heavy grass
where he finally took a 5. AS Wilfred
Reid remarked: "He might have got
ten out feet or 100 yards from
that lie" At the 255 18th his tee
shot was hooked against a tree, but
fine shot with left-handed club
dropped the ball on the green for 4.
He needed 5-foot putt to get his on
the final hole after missing his drive.
