the aforementioned Jinx are free to
gather up the threads Of their uncom-
pleted qualifying business
The medal stars worked their way
through the first eighteen holes without
even the shadow of an incident cross
ing their path Then in the afternoon
they went down like a load of bricks in
a sort OF bond of unity. Fortunately
there was something to soften the blow.
The TOUR men left are worthy semi
rnaiists. There was no fuke about
the several results in the first sixteen.

mined during this meeting. With an
Arctic gale sweeping the links the play
ers round themselves face to face with
an extra attraction. To the ordinary

registering a one.
Wins First Three Holes.
The only really close match among the
first sixteen players in the afternoon was
that which saw the overthrow of Proal
by Harrington. Considering how the
contest started, the result was something
OF surprise. Proal annexed the first
three holes but Harrington got at
the fourth which seemed to steady him

5 at the fourteenth brought him on level
terms with his opponent.
For the first time in the match Har-
rington took the lead at the thirteenth
He lost the fifteenth, but brought the
match to a conclusion by running off
with the sixteenth and seventeenth. The
sixteenth is a par hole Harrington

into a trap Proal should have halved
However, he lost his chance by taking
three puts. The summary
