 Farrell by One Stroke

DetFoit, aug. ES.-Mlchhol J. 6Ft0y, Oakland Hills professional ,ed the Aeld for the first eighteen holos of tho Western golf championship. played yesterday on his home course. scoring 72, one stroke better thaA the tstal of Johnny Farrell the dark haired young professional from Mamaronsek, NY.
 Bunched one stroke behind Farrell at "A were i've players-Jock Hutchi- son, Chicago: Georke Sargent, Coluu- bus, ohio; Pat Petranck, a young as- sistant professional from Nutiey, ~. J.: Gunner Nelson. Lafayette, Ind, and Charles (Chick) Evans, the Chi. caEo amateur.
 Then followed four at 7e-Iisyd Gullickson. De Kalb, H.; George KAr- rigan. New York; Jack BlAkeSlee, Muncie, Ind, and H. Kennett of Giea- COG, Ill.
 Mike Brady hung up his 72 for the others to shoot at elrly, and 1t with. stood the attack of all the others down to the finish. Until Farrell came along late in the day with his 73, Mike h4d two-stroke advantage.
 Farrell Trapped . Seventeenth
 Coming to the sixteenth, or lake hole. Farrell had a finish in four three and four ahead of him to pass Brady by one strike. A trapped drive on the seventeenth caused one four, one over par here. and put it up to him to get birdie four on the home hole to tie the home professional. He finished with a live. however, through a second that was a trihe short and | chip shot that was too strong, trailing Brady by one stroke as result.
 That tee shot into the trap at the left of the seventeenth green must have made Farrell wince. He missed the green by inches. the spin which the ball took coming up into the wind causing 1t to swerve just enough from it's course to find its sandy graced the 'lie" was not bad. but the trap Is about ten feet high at the point Johnny had to shoot over and he could take no chance in trying to set too close to the pin. He got on all right, but still had long putt left and missed 1t.
 It would not take Jock Hutchisen long to explain why he took 74 in- stead of 72 to tie Mike Brady. At the fifteenth hole he made a six, two over par. Apparently he tried to n4- gotiate Devils Curve" around the woods. He pulled into the young forest, and finding an almost inpossi- ble lie took two strokes to get back on the fairway.
 The play of Evans was remarkable, when it is remembered that he never saw the course before he played his round. He had to feel his way around yet got his 74. He was playing with Johnny Farrell and was out in 3e,- the same as his young partner, but re- quired 3S coming homo in comparison with Farrells 37.
 Chicks Hook Costly
 A hooked second sh hot into the rough caused Chick to take six on the par i've twelfth. Like Johnny, Chick fin- ished with a five on the eighteenth, holding sizeable putt to get 1t after a short second into the rough and a third over the green and into ! shAl- low trap from which he emerged by using his butter,
 The scoring was higher than VAS expected. Play from the back tees put two much of burden on many of the best players. Emmett French of Youngstown, Ohio, runner-up te Gene Sarazen in the professional ra- tional tournament had to be content with an so, as did Bobby Cruikshark, another who starred in the P. G. A.
 Only twenty-nine players beat 30 and twelve of-those. just squeezed In with 70's including Harry Hampton Laurie Ayton, Chicago, and Pat Doyle, St. Louis
