shot, sending the ball around the
tree. On "Hill Top he made a drive
of 1926 yards. He played consistent
golf all afternoon.
Jack Monroe, ex-state champion of

ard and made the worst showing of
the men in the foursome.
In the foursome, Sarazen and An.
drews were paired against Jack Mon
roe and James Gibbs.
Sarazen and Andrews one in 3 up,
but all their points were made on the
first round. On the second round they
