Maurice Risley Is the perennial win
~ Of the medal and can almost be en-
bred as such before these events are
J Nayed. He won the spring tourney
at year and was only beaten In the
lalI event finals by j. Wood Platt.
IRsley's main triumphs last year,
when cruising a-feld from his home
club we're in the national amateur,
where he was among the thirty two
hand picked Simon pures to qualify, and
at Shawnee, where he won the finals for
the Buckwood trophy by trimming
Plstt.
Yesterday the seashore satellite had q
shot for every situation. HE has we'll
nigh uncanny ability to play this course,
as he proved while qualifying with Nor
man Maxwell, the Whitemarsb midget
expert.
Risley got off little wobbly, being
/ over par on the first two. but played
every hole in par to the ninth, where he
took a 8.
Great Card
He turned steadily on the first three
b par, 8-6-3, and got his first bird
1t the thirteenth, where he laid his iron
70 the pin and sank four foot putt.
4 pulled second at the fourteenth got
the pits and sank B.
Another beautiful approach to the
Afteentb gave him four foot putt for
a 3, another birdie. but at the sig
tsenth, altar a sweet sounding drive, he
mufed bis iron and then a Ave foot
putt taking a B. He battled to the
SEVENTEENTH CUP, in another 8. one over,
and tried to make up with a beautiful
some ten feet away In 2 but over
ran and then missed sixteen inch putt
coming back. -
With luck he would very likely have
broken 20, but his T5 led the field Of
10y starters Dy nVc strokes at that.
Maxwell was off on the drives, which
lst him plenty TO do on his seconds.
hs 80, though, was a neat affair under
ne circumstances. One Of Maxwell's
perfect holes was the fifteenth, where
ne had a slightly sliced drive, but a
great approach some twenty feet from
me cup over traps and things. Max.
well then dropped the putt for a birdie
without futter.
When speaking Of sos, Joe Coble.
mentioned recently in connection with q
low score at Cobbs Creek, did a fine
piece OF business with his own 80.
was the Philadelphia Golf Club
entry 8 first tourney and that 80 was
plenty good enough, Here is a golfer
