golf championship Of Maine. These
PLAYERS were the sole survivors of the
field of IS which began play Wednes-
day when the cards were all in this
afternoon.
Kicker, Jr., 1921 champion, disposed
of DR.. F. c. Tyson Of Augusta in the
18th green. DR.. Tyson, who carried
Kicker three extra holes at Augusta
last year, was wild off the tee and his
iron shots failed entirely. He was in
trouble all the way after the first two
in which his puts refused TO drop. The
Augusta star kept plugging, and
ne won the 10th. Kicker took the next
three and the match.
DR.. Tyson undoubtedly made the fea-
ture shot of the day. His drive from
the 18th tee was extremely long but
was pulled to the left. He found the
ball nearly buried. with apple trees
between him and the green. He cleared
the trees, just missed the green and
then approached to within six inches.
Kicker, straight down the middle all
the way. took five.
Dr. Winslow Of Waterville defeated
Roger V. Snow Of Portland in the
lower half Of the bracket Snow led
most of the way but never by more
than one. At the 18th they Were all
even. DR.. Winslow had a par five on
the long 18th while Snow was in the
rough with his third and over with his
fourth. This put the Watervi]le
scmi-hn.iist one up with two to go.
He needed to halve the next two.
He sliced his drive into light
rough but Snow topped his for the
second successive hole and also
found his ball in the rough. He had
a good out but was short in three
While DR.. Winslow was just on the
edge in two.
His approach putt was about
feet from the hole. Snow holed out
for a pretty five. DR.. Winslow missed
his four and then, thinking he heard
his opponent concede the short putt,
tapped his ball twice. Snow claimed
the hole and the match was even.
Both were we'll up in two on the
home green but Shows space was
short and Dr. Winslow, holeing a
four footcr. Won I UP.
