But the Hutch had the stuff when
IL was needed. When the youngster
wavered a bit on his afternoon
round, Jock Began tieing the game
into knots and finished with a u

winner after his plausible exhibit

lunch. registering a 90 and subse-

Bob Mcdonald. another who was
expected to figure in the money,
also hit the rough spots in the
afternoon and called it day with
out finishing.
Fred Mcleod was way back in
the ruck The midget Columbian
wound up his morning game with
an unexpected eight on the eigh-
teenth hole. and thereafter he was
as good as "out."
Starting the day three down on
young Farrell. Hutchison cut the
youngsters advantage by one stroke
at the conclusion of the morning
round.

but was forced to relinquish his
advantage on the seventh when AZ
wind blow drive sailed out OF
bounds.
wind blown drive sailed out of
Hutch back to form and he cut
loose with one of those dizzy
streaks which no golfer in the
world can stand up against. He
quickly galloped in front again on
the eighth with another of those
miracle IS, and this time held his
edge right to the end.
Farrell Weak ON Greens.
Farrell, playing steadily enough.
but with a tendency toward weak
ness on the greens, was helpless
before the onslaught. With his lead
completely shot away. he fought
game, uphill battle, but couldn't
quite regain the form he showed
/ on the opening day.
Neither Farrell nor Hutchison
turned in any sparkling pyro-
technics in their forenoon rounds,
but both were nearly neck and neck
all the way. Farrell took a 80 on
his outward trip to Jocks Sc,
thereby losing the three-stroke ad-
vantage which he had gained on
Tuesday.
On the tenth. the youngster got
two strokes back. however, when
the Chicagoan hooked his second
shot badly and then needed three
puts to hole out.
On the twelfth. Farrell ran afoul
of bunker and Hutch cut his lead
to a single stroke. but the kid re-
gained his edge when Jock needed
4. one over par, on the thirteenth.
Hutch won the fourteenth. 4 to 5,
but was again two down when he
took a four on the short sixteenth.
Both negotiated the seventeenth and
eighteenth in four and FIVE, respec-
lively.
They halved the first hole of the
afternoon round with 5s. though
Farrell. who was well home in two.
missed a short putt, which. had il
dropped into the cup. would have
lifted him an additional stroke
above the flying Scot.
Hutch Loses second Hole.
Hutch lost the second hole when
the young New Yorker holed a
threefooter fo= a birdie s. but the
kid missed a short one on the third
and Jock won tie hole. 4 to5.
Then Hutch dropped his tee shot
within three feet of the pin on the
fourth and plopped his putt into the
cup. Again the youngsters putting
touch went astray. After ramminc
q neat approach shot from behind
the elevated green to within a few
feet Of the cup. he putted short,
and took a four.
II was even-Stephen as they teed
OF on the long fifth. where slight
mistakes bring sudden disaster.
Both played their early shots per-
fectly. but Farrell. who seemed to
have everything but confidence,
again dubbed his putt. and Hutch
took the lead for the first time.
Jocks advantage was short
lived. however. for his second shot
on the seventh Travelled out of
bounds and the resulting penalty
cost him for the hole. while the
youngster was negotiating II in
par 4.
Right back came the Hutch. He
laced his tee shot to within four
feet of the cup on the eighth, and
his putt curled into the cup. Far
rell took 4, and Jock was back in
front again with single stroke
