normal distance. Against record
Jones took three puts on FIVE
greens throughout the match and to
get his brides he was forced to
ram his mashie shots dead to the
cup.
1t was the first eighteen hole rush
of Ouimet that drove Jones back.
With the biggest gallery of the week
banked along the fairways and
around the greens the Bostonian be-
gan to turn out par after par until
when he had passed the fourteenth
hole he was a matter of two under
even fOurs-fOur up and on his way
to drive off with Evans from the
first tee on Saturday.
Ouimet took the jump by winning
the first two holes in par after
placing his tee shots on each occa-
sion in ideal spots. Jones was
bunkered on his second at the first
hole and above the green on his
spoon shot at the next.
Ouimets only slip from par
through the first fourteen holes
came at the third where he was
badly Cupped after his drive and
topped approach resulted. After
that he made no mistakes for an
extended interval of time. He won
the fourth and moved back to up
and became 3 up at the fifth when
Jones hooked his second into a mass
of bushes to the left of the green
where he might as we'll have been
in the heart of an African jungle.
THE seventh and eighth were two
of the decisive holes of the match.
In fact they might be said to be
the two most important holes of the
entire lot At the seventh after
two good drives Jones pumped his
ball on the green twelve feet above
the cup while Ouimets approach
rolled up the bank and stuck.
Ouimets poke back cantered twelve
feet over and the younger entry
saw light again with recovered
hole. He ran his approach putt
stone dead but Ouimet calmly step

on the course. Jones saw the
radiant glow Of hope again when his
fine iron dropped ten feet from the
cup on dead line to the pin.
Ouimet crushed his way out with a

slope to within eight feet of the
hole and when Jones missed his
the Eastern star again blocked any
advance by canning his for an
other half. Here, where Jones
might easily have fought his way
to a deficit of only one hole against
any normal putter he had had the
door slammed twice against his face
and he must have seen then the
magnitude of his assignment.

lost that hole and became / down.
