 JOURNAL GIVES CUP
 Edgar also will hold for year a ! gold cup offered by the Atlanta
 Journal Barnes and Hackney got ls s450 apiece: Hampton s250. with others sharing down to $40 for tenth man. lones. who was runner up in the
 same meet last year, was presented with two medals. one as best amateur
 and another for making the best round Of any amateur.
 Edgar, an Englishman, employed as professional for several years at tho i Driud Hills Club here. started on his last round two strokes back of Jones and
 Barnes, who were playing together Ho went out in 34, two strokes better than par; and at that stage stood one stroke ahead of Jones, who required 8, and five strokes better than Barnes, who was playing wildly. and needed 41 Everything then depended on the last { nine holeS and Edgar was nearly as good on the inward journey. He started with a birdie on the tenth hole, and ! played the next six holes exactly par. and slipped a single stroke on No It. i Then he finished with perfect . on 1 No. IS, just missing a birdie ?. l. looked like Jones or Barnes untn tho end of
 the third round, and Hampton was al-
 ways threatening but miserable breaks l in the luck held the Richmond player i back. though 1t could not break his steady play. Hackney came to the third | round almost unheralded and then broke ! loose with 73, the best round that far, and flashed out to tie with Edgar, | only two strokes back of Jones and l Barnes. who were locked in a grapple and tied for the lead at 2;3d.
 At the end of the first round Edgar
 was five strokes back of the leader. At the end of the second he was two strokes and also at the end of the third.
 At the fourth hole of the last round. the ] fifty eighth hole of the tournament ne passed Barnes. and he caught Jones at | the seventh, when Bobby took a 5 With a birdie on the long ninth, Edgar went | to the front at last on the slXty-third hole of the long grind and he was never headed from there on. Jones' who was
 down on Barnes. still had a chance to | tie by coming Tn on 35, or one under par,
 and it appeared for time that he might. But he got an unucky pitch on the table
 green of the thirteenth hole and dropped | into trap. Edgar was now four strokes ahead
 Bobby rallied and reeled off the next | five holes a stroke under par and gained i by a twenty-foot putt at No. r. But he ! would have had to shoot the last three
 holes in eight shots to tie Edgar. He made them In ten.
 Barnes never quite recovered from his misfortune on No. 1. He came back in
 SS and had to make on the home hole
 to tie Hackney for third place. Edgar's marvelously steady golf may i be illustrated best by the fact that he 1 played the entire seventy-two holes ! without taxing a 6 on any hole. In 1 this case it was done on a hard course with no fewer than five three-shot holes, pared at ). The bah was not helping
 him much even in his last round t
 hung on the lip of the cup on four diff l ferent occasions
