Partridge, Of Bedford. who Is making
comeback In tournament play this
season after an absence Of several sea
sons from the links. won an uncom-
monty interesting match from Captain
II. j. {. Tippett, in the final roand Of
the invitation tournament Of the En-
gineers' Country Club here to-day.
Partridge won the match on the
twenty-frst hole. This course, you
will recall. was the scene Of the ma
tional amateur championship two years
ago, and it was in that tournament
that Reggie Lewis took Chick Evans
all the way 10 the forty-seeond hole.
The golf that Partridge and Tippet
played was by no means rs good as
Lewis and Evans put on. on that memoir
able day in September, 1920, but II was
intensely interesting nevertheless. Tip
petit is a stockily. hard fighting little
Englishman, who has done most OF his
golfng in Great Britain. He halls from
the Royal North Devon Club. He has
been in the states since last November.
and is now connected with the Meadow
Brook Club.
Partridge in general putted well, al
though on the seventeenth and eigh-
teenth greens his putter forsook him
and gave his opponents the chance TO
break through and square matters.
They went along in nip and tuck man.

Partridge then won two holes in sue
cession, which gave him a commanding
lead. At the fourteenth, though, his
pitch shot was short Of the green,
whereas Tippett was nicely on and
easily got his 3. Partridge got
back that hole at the sixteenth, where
he sank fine putt. With a lead OF

quite unmindful Of his plight as he
stepped up and smashed out scream

and with l2-foot putt staring him
in the face for a half him doom was
apparently sealed. Knowing he had 10
get a half TO continue the match, Tip
petit went boldly for the cup and the
ball dropped out Of sight.
Partridge was over the green on his
second at the seventeenth, and that
cost him a 6 ard the hole. After run
ming fifteen feet past the cup on his
approach putt on the eighteenth ne
was short on his next. so that here
again he took a 6 and lost the hole.
