Neither played the twelfth or thir-
teenth well, Evans being down the bank
at the twelfth while Allis was in the
rough, neither was able to get the
thirteenth with an iron. Allis was
hopelessly out of the fourteenth when

side with his out. But he sank another
forty foot putt on the fifteenth which

and then Ouimet sank 2. 4 up. Jones
had mean shot over the telegraph poles

the ball two feet from the pin. Ouimet

into trap, but came close to holing on
his way past the hole. But Jones sank
his bird. Ouimet 3 up. Ouimet messed
the wicked sixteenth with a drive and
missed iron. His third was In the woods

his second shot and got to 8. Two

Allis topped several drives on the
way out and Offset this by good putting.
