Barnes today was shooting mucf'
the same sort of golf that enabled him
| yesterday to obtain a four-stroke lead
| over Mcleod and Charles R. Murray
! oil Montreal. Although Barnes tee
shots on the first five holes were
sliced. he was putting well, and was
able to make the first nine holes in u,
with the aid of remarkable niblick
shot on the second hole. where his ball
leaned against the pin for two and
dropped in when the pin was removed.
He also secured a birdie on the
| seventh hole.
Coming back. Barnes started rather
badly. missing his second shot on the
eleventh hole and taking to the
! par hole. From that point out,
however, he played perfect golf with
the exception of the sixteenth hole.
| where he missed a six-foot putt for a
2. With the large lead Barnes has
assumed over Hagen and Mcleod
consensus of opinion today was that
he would be the open champion after
his round this aftsrnoon. -
