 Hole stops Heron
 Hole put the fine golfer. David son Heron, out of the tournament by punishing him for perfect drive. The drive here must be held down to not more than 225 yards. I. went beyond that just once, and found my ball in the creek. Heron drove too far and was in the water. The creek crosses the fairway from left to right. as the golfer comes un- The iand rises to the right of the creek. A narrow plateau at the creek s edge was the spot I played for, and made it each time but once. Some os the players chose to play up to the top of the hill. This required as great care to keep the ball inside a roadway. and within bounds. Then. too. many players seemed to have difficulty reaching the green from up higher. l did not try from there myself and don't know just what caused the trouble.
 On Is anything short of 300 yards on the drive is likely to be punished severely. Hunter was caught behind the hills in here with q 275-yard drive. and thenceforth he dislllled the hole. The green is guarded by an unduly severe bunker and trap. However, without such risks the championship would not bring out the very best of golf, which it should always do, and which it most assuredly did do at St. Louis.

 Great confidence comes to the
 player at holes which become favor ties with him. It was one of the for tunate breaks of the game for Hunter
 that he was called upon for his oif-
 ficult shot with Jones at hole IF. Here his ball was over the green, back of an embankment some four | feet high and with a downhill roll to the cup. A terrific back spin was ] required here to hold the ball on the green, and vet Hunter was not more
 than 30 feet from the cup, if that far. He clipped his ball 90 feet or so straight into the air and it came
 down to the green just inside the l embankment. It had such spin that 1t fairly hit into the green to stop itself as it rolled toward the cup. It stopped within few inches of the | cup-an amazing shot-one to be | accomplished only on favorite green.

 Boorde's Best Round
 The first part of the sixth round was the tamest of all the scrapping, but along toward the flag end of the session, Boorde cut aloose with a succession of rights and lefts and made Meighan cover up to protect himself. It was Freddie's best round, and Meighan went to his cor ner bit Mustered.
 The seventh round was even. There was little action. each scrap per playing the cautious game. Freddie continued his jabbing, while Meighan missed and landed couple of right hooks
 Meighan's infighting won the eighth round. He reopened the cut over Boorde's right eye and Fred die paused frequently to brush his gloved hand over the cut. Meighan tore in furiously, and the crowd yelled for knockout. Boorde smiled at this, and tore in himself. and the two were fighting hard at the bell.
 Meighan continued his good work in the ninth, taking the round.
 Boorde jabbed continually, but couldn't keep his opponent off Meighan still missed his swings. but was landing his short hooks and jabs.
 Tenth Round Best
 The tenth round was session of action Both Boorde and Meighan cut loose in the attempt to win the ses- sion decisively Boorde's reach en- abled him to land the most blows. and he took the round by a shade Boorde dropped his guard and began shoot ing in rights and lefts to the body. MeiGhan countered with hooks to the head and uppercuts to the wind It was the best round of all, and Ref cree Biscoe Seals had to pry the boys apart at the bell.
 The decision was awarded to Meighan by Biscoe Seals, and the de- cision seemed popular with the audi ence.
 John McGinty Wins
 The semi-final between John Me- Ginty and Sailor Simpson was rather a disappointment, in view of the fact that the fans were all "het up' and waiting to see knock down. drag-out affair. However, 1t was a good fight, with McGinty doing the bulk of the work and all the forcing. simpson dld not flght against Mc- i Ginty like he did againest Dixie All len. Either McGinty had him buff faloed or Simpson was backward in coming forward. McGinty is improv- ing steadily and will soon be in line for a go with Allen and Kelly. Johnny Marlow, after knocking Johnny Shahid around for three rounds. got too careless and walked into a left swing and took the long count. The fight while it lasted, was fast and furious, with Shahid on the receiving end most of the time. The opening number. which brought together Jack McGinty and Bert Green, proved a whirlwind af- fair, with both boys driving home some terrific wallops and com l ing back for more. The fans were on their feet throughout, and gave both boys big ovation as each left the ring. McGlnty was awarded the verdict on technical knockout aft CT raining rights and lefts on Green | in the third round.

 In the second round. Meighan opened a cut over Boordes right eye and blood tricl1ling down his cheek apparently worried Freddie at diff ferent times during the fight. Boorde continued his cautious tactics. ana rarely opened with cross or a hook.
 BOOrde Opens Up
 In the third session Boorde opened up a bit. Leading with his left. he followed with short right hook, and jared Meighan bit, but it was apparent that Stan was not hurt. The two closed in and some snappy infightine took place, in which the two scrappers about broke even.
 In the fourth Meighan retaliated by opening up bit himself, land ing several good right swings to the head. Boorde'e eye bled a bit in this ronnd. but Freddie. kept his nerve and oountered admirably.

Both Boys in Shape
 Both scrappers entered the ring apparently in shape for the pattle. Boorde is the taller of the two scrappers. and he appeared pie fran besides the husky httl@ Meighan, but it was in comparison only. His height gave Boorde an advantage in reach over Meighan. but the little scrapper made up for this by his willingness to step in and mix it with his opponent
 The first round was rather tame. Boorde was cautious and took no chances, while Meighan missed sew eral swinks for the head Meighan

 So, it may be seen that taking the figures man for man the two squads stack up on almost q fifty fifty basis. The only trou- ble is that figures have habit of repudiating themselves when the seasons classic gets going, and the man who plays lunches is the fellow who usually tri- umphs, rather than the man who sticks hls dome in an arithmetic and tries to figure out the con tests mathematically.
