and two puts on the green, which
gave him a four, he dropped the

it in three.
Neither player was up to standard.
although both did better by n the
second round than they did the first.
Booker had. a A and a 43 for a total
Of 81, while Lovejoy shot a As and a
~ for 80. There was not much to
choose between the two men in their
long game. Both drove well and
about the same distance on all holes,
both got into difficulties a few times,
but Booker himself better.
The main difference was in putting.
Lovejoy had at least two chances to
put his opponent down, but missed
puts robbed him of the position. The
tact that he starts out this afternoon
two down, is the direct result OF his
play on the green's.
Plays Uphill Game ,
Lovejoy played an uphill game all
the way for the reason that he lost
the first hole. Both were on the green
In two. Lovejoy trimmed h cup on
his third shot, and then missed a short
one. Booker o~verplayed the hole on
his third, but sunk a long n for a
four. Loveioy evened up the game on
The second hole. Lovejoy drove
straight up the IFS while Booker
pulled his drive into the rough, but
they were both over the hill in two
Joys second shot was short, but it
bounced oyer the bunker. Lovejoy's
rhn-up approach was close and he
holed out in four, while Booker was
too far away from the hole on his
approach shot, to sink the ball in
four. IS ii
Although Booker dubbed his second
shot OF the third hole, he recovered
on his third and placed his fourth just
on the green while Lovejoy's fourth
was yer Inc he had to use another
to get on. They halved that hole in
SIX. ' .
On the fourth hole Booker sent his
brassie shot. into the chocolate drops,
but a wonderful shot got him outiof
trouble and on the hill in three and
into the sand trap. Lovejoy dubbed
his third, but made a beautiful recov-

Of the trap, but he laid it to the pin.
They halved that hole in six.
Play Two Par Holes
The fifth and six holes were halved
In in par tours, the only time during
the game that both men shot par on

shot was perfect, but Lovejoy dubbed
his second and sliced it into the rough.
His third took him out and to the
far side of the green, and Booker miss
