PlNEHURST, N. c., Jan. 1s.-The
golfing advertising men struck bad
weather to-day Tor their final en-
counters and had to buck a cold, driv-
ing rain. The two contenders for first
honors, Roy Barnhill, Fox Hills, and
l. Il. Brown, Scarsdale, were among
the earliest to get going, and they had
wet match Of it. won by Barnhill,
5 and 3.
Brown didn't play anywhere near his
game. Barnhill had conditions just as
averse to combat, but he was nearer
to his game than his opponent, and
particularly near the greens was his
play less affected. He excelled in put
ting on the wet sand and in approach
ing. He has been playing all week with
lame shoulder.
AS one onlooker explained it; You had
to drive on the green's to sink a putt,
but on the thirteenth Barnhill sank
one for birdie three, the only birdie
OF the match. He was one up at the
ninth, won the tenth and eleventh, lost
the twelfth, and won the next three.
Coming in he had record of 4, 5, 5, g.
s. 4, which was rattling good work
under the hydrated conditions
A best ball four-ball handicap was
played, in which the participants were
those eliminated from the regular divi-
sons. This was won by Don Parker,
Garden. City, and W. E. Conklyn, Dun
woodie. with 7S-5-73, and with E.. NJ.
Alexander, Siwanoy, and Frank Finney,
Baltusrol, second, with 85-1o-75.
Roy Durstine had better fortune
than his fellow scarsdale member. A
silver candlestick became his to have
and to keep by virtue of winning a
final in one Of the Class B beaten eight
divisions. Mr.. Durstine flashed some
thing new in golf toggery, and you
must be q live one to do that at Pine
hurst, same being an abbreviated OIL
skin which was the envy of 81 OBJ
servers. the newest thing out and
smart, no end.
