Barnes was moving none too swiftly

he took 6. At this point the Pre-

at the long, uphill ninth, he rammed
his secend shot within four feet %
the cup and sank another 3. Out
in 36, he started hAme by canning
his fourth successive at the 42e-
yard tenth, and at the still longer
eleventh he had a 7-foot putt to
round out FIVE SIS in a row, but the
attempt failed to fall.
Mix-sp in Scoring.
From this point on Barnes was
content to take even Is until he
reached the short sixteenth. Here
he sank a 9. His play throughout
was magnificent. and after, one or

Jones shoots II Out.
The outward machine-like march
of Bobby Jones was one of the days
big features. In the first test the
youngster was playing brilliantly
to the green, but putting with mis-
cradle fortune. He had no less than
s puts from to 10 feet to beat

Withdrawals Numerous.
Weird and wonderful things
graced the proceedings all day long
The loud and resonant explosion OF

At the same hole Pete O'Hara had
