the way through the match. Fluken-
Stadt demonstrated his superiority
yesterday beyond doubt. Styles mas
played far better golf than he showed
in the final round. but he had TO play

holing foot putt on the seven
teenth hole no carry the match I" the
eighteenth.
Putting. proved the downfall of
Styles. as on no less than four occa-
sions. after having the hole well in
his grasp. he missed puts that should
have won. The same might be said
for FDlkenStadt. however. as twice he
missed puts that should have won the
holes Both men Were very Well paired
off the tee aud through the green. and
although styles was never up he had
several chances to square the match.
Ehich he lost through Indifferent
quitting. His Tee shots. while not fine.
We're we'll enough hit to bring bet
Ter results than his score showed. and.
on the whole. his game could have
been improved several strokes through
the successful use of the putter.
Finkenstadt, on the other hand. played
remarkably steady golf. refusing to
crack even when his opponent sank his
approach shot at the tenth hole for
three. Up to the turn the Columbia
player had far outplayed STYLES. but the
latter came back with a rush ON the last
nine holes and should have squared the
match but for a series of missed puts
and bad headwork ION the seventeenth
and eighteenth holes.
Finkenstadt won the annual spring
tourney of the Chevy Chase Club in
1918 and has played We'll in every event
