Armour was eliminated at the short 105-yard fourteenth hole. where a golfer usually finishes either in three or from half a dozen up. From tee on one hill, the player drives to a green on top of another hill. If his tee shot is not good, there is a stiff uphill ap- proach. Ouimet took a par for the hole, but Armour's tee shot failed to stay on the green and when he had no better success with his second. he picked up and ended the match.
 Ouimet was up after the morning round, partly as a result of four wild sizes by Armour. At the turn in the afternoon Ouimet was to the good and then on the twelfth hole he vir- tually clinched the match by a 310- yard drive. which was followed later by a 15-foot putt for a birdie 3. In the morning round poor putting lost Armour thre enhances to halve or win holes.
 Jones' like Ouimet, won his match on the short fourteenth hole. Bobbys tee shot there was regarded as the best of the tournament. The ball stopped foot from the pin and he sank the putt for birdie two. Bobbys morning round of 72 equaled the best that has been done on the course. In fact, some contended that he was entitled to a T. but ex- pert checking showed otherwise. He was up after the first eighteen holes largely as a result of seven 3s, including five birdies. In the afternoon round Wright cut Bobbys lead to four at the turn, but then had hard luck on a long drive which almost equaled Ouimet S sensational crash on the twelfth. The ball, however, hopped in the rough, re- sultng in Wright taking six for a par four hole.
 EXCELLENT COLE
 The excellent golf of Evans evoked comment no less favorable than that aroused by the playing of Jones. After the morning round Evans led Fownes. 6 up, largely as result of breezing home in 35, one over par. In the after noon he went out in 35 or one under par, then he played par golf for three holes to win the match. Prior to Jones 72 today Evans had been the only com petitor to turn in such low score dur ing the tournament. His card for the morning for the day was "A. He made 72 the other day in the first round.
 For the first six holes in the after noon both Evans and Fownes played even with one birdie each and the others par fours. Then Fownes took five to Evans birdie three as the approach be- ing trapped short of the green.

 Allis had Platt down after their first eighteen holes but by the thirteenth hole of the afternoon round Platt had his rivals lead to one hole. At the fifteenth hole Platt took three butts, losing the hole, and the next two holes were halved, ending the match.
 Allis played steady golf all day, while Platt putted poorly and sliced several times into the rough
