There was no comparing the two sides
when conditions called for alternate
slaps at the rubber core, while as to the

hung on grimly for two-thiris Of the
round and then collapsed. not so much
as a pair Of burst balloons as a couple
of pancakes that have been left too long
on the griddie.
J. II. and Sandy squared at the elev-
cath IN the best ball event after turning

hung grimly on for two holes more. AS
the Britons teed UP for the fifteenth
the gallery could detect faint odor as
OF something slightly overd one. They
lost this one with s. then turned to

While Herd ana Taylor have played
only about seventy-two holes of actual
competitive golf during their present tour
they already have come to the conclusion
that it Is idle for them or any one else to
deplore the fact that their British open
championship the last two years has
been won by American professionals.
Herd at least seems satisfied that any
one who can play thirty-six holes and
still smile these days has the world at
his feet. Sandy played the last half of
yesterday afternoons match as If he
we're wishing profoundly that he was
padding in the Sw'ilcan or hidden away

AS exponents OF the old fashioned four
some Taylor and Herd IN the morning
proved themselves Something in the ma
ture of a pair Of wizards Their straight
play from tee to green and their clever
finishing enabled them to toy with the
American pair. They had the match all
sewed up before their opponents got
going.
The British pair drew first blood at

Taylor and Herd were 2 down at the

held the match In this position to the
eleventh, where they squared. Then on
the twelfth Kerrigan laid his approach
within eight feet OF the pin and holed
for stroke under par Taylor and
Herd got halves at the next two, but,
as recounted. their physical endurance
and fortitude were sadly trapped by this
time, and IN cloud OF steam they
yielded up the ghost on the next two
holes.
Herd on the outgoing nine had very
well played 35, but coming back he
probably was wondering what fatal inn
pulse had caused him to do sword
dance on the deck of the liner which
was bringing him to such a delightful
