In his turn around the circuit had one
green which could really be classed as
three-putt affair.
Gardner did miss short putt at the
seventeenth. but he was off slightly on
his second. There were few flaws in the
long play Of the Chicagon. A hooked
tee shot at the eighteenth and topped
drive with the third about covers the
bill II particulars In the above respect.
Gardner was frank enough to admit
that he was fortunate to get six At
the third for here In addition to the
topped drive his iron shot was pushed
out.

There was quite contrast between
the golf played by Wethered and that
shown by Jones Making such a COM
parison was simple enough inasmuch as
the two were paired for this oocn,ng
qualifying test. Wethered outhit Jones
from the tee many times but In fnesss he
was outclassed. And when 1t corics to
discussing tho putting there simply was
no comparison.
Wethered hit many a pretty iron shot,
but his irons lack the bite that enables
n player to pitch boldly for the pin.
jones has back spin and plenty Of II. and
he has something to back up his accur-
acy with iron and mashie, namely. a
deadly putt. How well Jones finished
out Is shown by his stroke analysis for
the greens. Going out he had two
single putt green's and seven two putt
greens. Never was he above regu-
lation. Then coming back 1t was about
the same He topped his brassie shot
at the eleventh. played his third to the
edge OF the green. and running up missed
short one Even here, however, IL Is
difficult TO charge Bobby with an extra
putt.
Jones Charges Himself shot.
Yes, there was one green on which
the brilliant Dixie lad had three shots.
That was the seventeenth. But this Is
how II happened. Bobby stopped his
ball about fifteen feet from the cup
while with a shot almost identicaliy
aimed. but very differently executed.
wethered overran and had to chip back.
AS he was standing over that putt
Jones looked up and said something to
his partner. II transpircd later that
Bobby had notified Wethered OF the fact
that his ball had moved. For that
Bobby charged himself an extra shot.
weth sred had a hard time reaching
the center Of the falrway at the outset
OF his round. He had at the first
and another at the third due to hook
ir.g and slicing. Interpreted with these
wasted shots were several that went
awry on the green's. At the fifth
wethered took another s due to wild
nesy afield. For the first six holes he
had the average OF Is. For the last
thr g holes OF tho outgoing Journey he
played better and so was enabled to
turn In Al.
The ninth hole at the country club
took a high toll to-day. The second
shot is blind. However. wethered made
II In 3. Otherwise he might easily have
been out In 4s. But this second shot
was some concession from the gods.
The Engllshman's shot was OF the usual
running type and the ball kept on over
the Hill and settled two feet from the
cup.
An over-approach for the tenth was
retrieved by wethered for par 4, but
the eleventh cost s. a missed putt ac-
counting for another extra shot.
wethered played the twelfth and thlr-
teenth perfectly, but he ioW stroke
