medalist, in the afternoon.
Gardner won fame last year and the
title of extra hole man" when he went
nine or ten extra holes in four matches
of the Lynnewood and Wilmington
Journeys in one week. He just natural

went to the nineteenth again yester-
day to beat Corkran.
Rotan Is again favored to win the
cup after beating Dean yesterday.
They met in the finals last year. Dean
pulled the most sensational shot of the
tourney when he overdrove the road at
the dog leg ninth yesterday and then
holed out a mashie -niblick shot for
what is said to be the first eagles ever
made there.
"The longest shot I ever holcd,"
said Dean.
Not so Good
The automatical draw is theoreti-
field play up to form. The medalist is
drawn for the first round against the
holder of the ninth best card the player
finishing second to qualify is drawn at
the bottom Of the lower bracket, and
so on.
But il the entries skid. it's not so
good. That's what happened at Hunt
ingdon Valley, and as a result some
Of the first round matches might we'll
have been the finals and good players
were ousted right off the reel.
Dean played Knepper, for instance.
and then met Rotan in the second
round.
IIp above W. II. Gardner, holder
of the course record, was drawn against
D. Clarke Corkran, the medalist, and
won. Both were hot favorites for the
Gun before the draw.
When a medalist is beaten in the
first round you will invariably read
in your favorite journal that winning
the medal once more proved to be a
ink for So and SO. yesterdays medal

Personally we believe It Is not 80

Nerve Strain
Corkran, directly involved. believes
in neither theory.
"The train of q medal round" stated
the stocky and cheerful Baltimore sa
tcllite, ''is realized only by those with
chance to top the field. 1t means
As and 3s.
"You know you can't miss anything
when you're stacking your game against
the best cards OF from a hundred to
two hundred golfers. You know there's
| a break where you can lose or win all.
you're keyed up and you must bat
| tie all the way to hold your nerve ten
sion in control. When you win, you
relax and in your first match you're
liable to take on player on top of
HIS game, who crawls all over your
frame. Fired with the ambition to go
on through you may get wild and the
first thing you know you're out of 1t. "
Cochran praised the great game of
| Gardner yesterday.
II tried my darndest," he said, "and
thought I had him, when finally went
one UP with q bird at the seventeenth.
I was up for my four at the eighteenth,
bat I have to hand It to a golfer who
can sink ten foot for a bird at that
stage and square the match"
It was Q great treat to those who
saw Il and tho star pair had a 6ne
| best ball card.
