0n Elm played the best golf OF
ay in defeating Gaines. He shot
two under par--in the MORN
md had every club working
y all the time. On the sixth
trimmed the cup with a l50-
proach. just missing an eagle
(e 10th he sank 25-foot putt
LII of his shots were well nigh
perfect. His first 9 in the after
noon was a 34-t.,ree under par-and
his card showed large percentage
of brides.
Chick Evans just toyed with Pay
seur. Warned by his tight matches
and near defeats at the hands OF two
youngsters yesterday-Held and Nc
Kee-Chick started off today in per-
feet form and soon held five-holc |
advantage. From then OH Chick
loafed. He shot just well enough to
keep the lead and several times over
looked chances to increase his lead
by conceding long puts which gave
Payscur halves on the holes.
Plays Super Golf.
Payseur played nervy game. He
fought hard and tried everything. but
simply was outclassed.
Wolff played a perfect game, his
card showing figures just about par.
He did everything just right, his
long drives landing just behind the
powerful pokes of Heron and his ap-
preaching and putting excelled that
of the Chicagoan, although the lat
ter's work was good enough to win
most contests. On almost every hole
he managed to keep even with his
opponent and whenever the latter
Presented al opening Wolff was able
to take advantage of it. Heron at
times arosebto super golf, twice get
ting birdie twos on the l57-yard sew
enth. His defeat became certain
when he sliced his drive into the
rough on the 33d and though Wolff
also played it poorly, half in six,
gave the ST. Louisan the match.
Wright's Experience Wins.
Jess SHUTTLE played splendid game
in carrying Wright to the 35th, but
the nerve and experience of the Pa
ciiic coast shooter proved too much
for SHUTTLE and he finally broke I'M
der the strain. At the 9th SHUTTLE
sank a l5-foot putt to keep the
match, but from then on Wright had
things pretty much his own way.
Wright took the long, hard 18th in
a perfect five against Stuttle's six,
l,alved the next three and then won
the SD. On the 35th SHUTTLE was .
up completely. He dubbed his drive,
hooked his brassie. sliced his third
and Wright easily clinched the !
match, 3 and /.
Wright, although turning in a
fine n in the morning. seemed great !
~ upset over his play. He repeated {
