a. intensely interesting issue we're put
on. Waller had the honor and poked
n Gr,yc 20 the right that landed safely
on the fairway. giving him straight
shot 20 the hole. This hole is a sort OF
Triangular layout, with rough extend
inc well down to the left Hale chose
10 take The risk Of getting over thia
on his drive, but cut the corner 100
finely and fell among the weeds ana
daisies. If he were in any way Upset
about that matter one never couid
have guessed by looking at nm

and wadcd into The tall and uncut
without any undue ceremony. Taking
Shot with splendid stif-armed blow
and pitched The ball high onto the
green. Walker. making sure 20 get un-
dor h,s shot, cut the ball too closely
and found no support for his club from
the sandy soil, with the result that
his ball landed far short Of the green.
Walker ran past the cup some ten feet
on his chip shot, while Hale got his
and took the lead again.
But the match was only beginning
about that time. Hale smashed his
drive into the rough on the eighteenth.
This time Walker did not waste his
chance He took his stance deliberate
ly and sent q screaming drive straight
down the middle OF the lane. Noting
his opponents advantage and knowing
that he had % reach tho green 20 get
n half Hale dug in full force with an
iron.
Hc ovcrswung and the smoothness
Of his swing thus broken caught the
ball on the heel Of tho club. sending
IL spinning across the roadway near
fhe caddie house. Walker pulled his
iron shot slightly and caught a trap 20
the left Of the green. but he made a
grand recovery and had no difficulty
winning the hole.
Hale's Remarkable Shot
IL was walkers honor this time and
he made good with a tremendous drive
FAR down the fairway. The nervy
Hale stepped up and cracked one that
was even better and that finished some
twenty feet beyond Walkers ball.
Walkers next shot was well executed
but struck a hard spot on the green
and rolled over the hank. Hale. taking
q mashie niblick. then made a high /
pitch shot that landed stone dead TO |
the pin. He cut the ball 90 well II /
did not move two feet after IL struck. /
