 Munger One Up
 Robley Munger was up on Lyford for the first time during the entire match after No. Il, when he shot a par four to Gals five. Lyford. after a good drive, sent his iron shot out of bounds, and the stroke penalty cost him the hole
 The short twelfth was negotiated in enc above par by each. with two fours. Both drove to the rough Ly- lords iron shot resting under a bunker, while Munger's wooden club sent the ball considerably to the right of the green. Both recovered well, reaching the green in two, but each missed their first putt and went out in four.
 No. 13 was also halved and Munger was still one up on Lyford. Thirteen is the longest hole Of the course, but both Lyford and Munger approached well, reaching the green in fair shape. Munger's long putt for a five failed by hair, and he took six, while Lyford had difficulty in the rough. He also took a six, after a chip over a low bunker to the left Of the green.
 LyfOrd Evens Match
 RnhInW 1T xryitf ot,1 fO win the city championship two years within his grasp, began to crack on No. 14, and the cracking process con- tinued until the championship battle was over. Lyford won the last four holes.
 On No. IA. Lyford reached the green. He missed a very long putt, but sank a 10-foot beauty for a four, par golf. 1t was splendid shot, and seemeded to give young Cal the con- fidence he needed to sweep through the remainder of the match to his victory. Munger's third shot went past the hole, but he made a noble effort to hole out in four, missing a long putt by a scant five inches.
 Robley Munger had hard luck on No. Is, his drive sending his ball into the rough The little pellet sank two inches in the soggy ground, and Robley's first attempt to chop 1t out made no noticeable impression on its position. His second stab at the ball threw up barrage of divot and mud, but the ball floated up on the green in three. It was a nice shot. Lyford was on in two. and required only one putt. as did Munger. Lyford took the hole, and again was one up on his opponent.
 LyfOrd Wins Match
 When Lyford took par four 16, the gallery called it day and conceded him the match, Munger hooked his approach behind a bunker, but made j. beautiful recovery and was on the green in three. Lyford's approach narrowly missed the green, and he nlso was on in three. Munger missed long putt, and Lyford had every excuse in the world for failing to sink his effort. Cal came through, however, and made a splendid putt of 10 to 12 feet, for four, and he was two up on Munger
 It was on No. r that the match was completed, although it had been Ehe general opinion among gallery members that No. 16 decided the bat tie.

Each neared the pin hole in two, with Lyford dead to. the pin with a sure three in sight Munger missed his chance at a three, and
