By HENRY VANCE

in American golf, went up against ths Hall of fame Saturday afternoon and was vanquished. The contest fame, who is none other than Uncle Charlie. of the Country club. out distanced his more youthful opponent almost in every instance.
 Aside from being a contest for foot age--or I believe yardage is the bet ter term for solf-it was also q four some, in which Little Doc Brownlee and I. J. Osbun got tangled up. Ike was Charlie Halls partner, and Lit- tic Doc teamed with the vtsitIng pro. The Rrewnlee-Jaoobus combination came through with eolors flying. winning the foursoms, S-1.

 Ana on top of that. Little Doc shot the best golf of the quartet He was as steady as a percolator all the way round was straight down the course in true Brownleeyan fashion from the tee, with good distance. Little Doc turned In 76 for the 1S-reel feature, while Uncle Charlie Hall came second with a r. JAcobus, shooting the Roebuek course for his first time. found many peculiar twists and rolls to the fairways, with which he was not familiar. That ex- plains his S2. Ike Osburn'a score hasn't been totaled yet. Ike turned farmer for the afternoon and cleared away . bunch of "newground," which will probably be placed under cul- tlvation by next summer. Hc was shooting sadly off form.
 To Be Continued Today
 The driving contest Is to be con tfnued this afternoon over the Coun- try club course. when Jacobus and Hall will resume their driving duel Brownlee will continue to pal with Jacobus while pr. A. E. Harris will team with Hall, the match to get xo- ing at o'clock.
 In Saturday afternon's driving Hall made a grand average of 273 yards on each of the 13 tees where the wooden clubs were used. Jacobus. off-form and not familiar with the course, fell far below his usual swing m driVing-the game for which he Is noted. He got only an average of 245 yards for the 13 wooden shots.

 HalL-No. 1. 2so yards; 2, 7so yards: 4 hole high to left of green: 5, 215; St l.. lS, 2s0; i4, al0; Is. 2S5; 1s, 326; Is, 325

 Must Allow for Wind
 From one standpoint, 1t was a beau tiful afternoon for golf. as the sun was shining brilliantly. The blue ell nA were offset. however, by . brisk sou'-wsster, which swept over the Koebuck course in gale-like fashion almost throughout the contest The contestants were forced to allow for this wind in driving, and many times they were not able to Euags 1t ac- curately. large gallery braved the disagreeable wind. however, and fol- lowed the match from the tee-off to the final putt on tho eighteenth. And. the gallery would undoubtedly have been larger had the feature match not started ahead of schedule. It had been advertised for 2 o'clock. In- stead, Che match got going at 1:S0 and many were disappointed. Others bent on seeing as much as possible, fell in the line of march and aug msnted the gallery.
 Turn to the Right" has been suc- cessful play for three years. but 1t fell to the lot of Uncle Charlie to in- vent a new play. which he labeled Bear to the Left" The Country club instructor got the habit of driving fnto the wind from the jump, in an cndeavor to allow for wind shrink age, and he wasn't able to let up on this style of play until near the end of the match. He got the distance, all srisht, but there was hooking ten- dency which he couldn't shake.
 Thrills of Day
 Getting down to thrills 1t might be mentioned that Sir Charles fur nished the mainest one of the after noon when he made three consecutive threes on 6, and 8. Par for Is {, for [ It's and for it's 5. The beginning of this string of threes found Uncle Charlie across the ditch to the left of the fairway in one. He pitched through the pine-tops and the ball greenied, close to the pin. He sank his putt for three, but ad- mitted that luck had been with him when he sailed through "boughland.'
 On No. he again pulled break shot on the ball. sending it through 325 yards of perfectly good space to the ladies' tee for No. s. He clipped over to the green and then sank a l5-foot putt.
 The third three happened on No. in this fashion: His drive didn't get such a great distance-230 yards but his second was well over the ditch. and on the pitch shot the ball roled dead to the pin and did a disap- bearing act into the cup. Jacobus Makes Two
 While Uncle Charlie was running up this string. Jacobus. who was voted as sterling golfer by the gal lery and golf devotees, was also pulling something of Ia sensational nature. He rang up couple of twos for the afternoon. On No. l2 he was away from the tee with an iron shot that carried good roll. And then on his pitch the ball went dead to the Dir. and dropped into the cup for the first two of he day. Par for l2 is 3. He came back on No. 1e, anohef short jump. and lofted the bali to the green. sinking a beautiful putt
 It was conceded by all who wit messed the exhibition that Jacobus. who possesses great driving power, would make some one hustle for dis tance honors if he stayed here long enough to familiarize himself with the course.
