solnng record for the season yesterday
afternoon by defeating A. F. Hammer
Of Baltusrol, and /. in the final round
Of the Fox Hills invitation tournament.
incidentally this defeat reverses the re-
suits Of the last playing OF this tourna-
nent. In the latter Walker won the
qualifying round and Hammer captured
the tournament cup. Hammer took
away the qualifying prize on Thursday.
This final round was a very fitting
dnish to the fine brand of golf the Sta
ten Island youngster has displayed all
through the tournament And by way
Of showing what the Baltusrol star was
I'D against, II may be stated that Walker
covered the eighteen holes in 70. which
10 one better than par for the course.
Not only that, but seldom was there
any doubt as to whether or not he
would equal par. More often he was
IN position where he could drop
under by holing puts of twelve. fifteen
and eighteen feet On but two holes of
the round did he find himself recover
ing from mistakes to reach par, and
oddly enough he did SO each time. The
third and tenth holes were the only
ones to run above par figures, and in
each Instance he was within few feet
Of the edge Of the green with two
shots left for par figures. At the eighth
ne barely missed a two. whereas par
for the hole Is 4, when a chip shot
hit the back Of the cue and bounded
away about two feet. Strangely enough
he missed the short putt for 8.
Walker Gets Early Lead.
Walker got away to an early lead
and was never headed. He captured
