| uiually imperturbabie, he seemed
| fidgety.

! eighth hole by getting into trouble
and the short twenty ninth to square

/ flubbed his approach on the thirty
| second and was / down but showing
| his previous game for two holes.

have gone as far as / did this time"
President Byers said that the
| Flossmoor course was the only one in
| the country that he knew of on which
| the approach called for a brassie sec
ond on at least three holes. as golf
! balls today were too lively for nearly
| all golf links, and that an effort
would be made during the coming
year to limit the long-carrying
quality of golf balls in order to avoid
! the rebuilding of courses to make
: them of championship caliber.

| OF stymies recalled the fact that last
year, when he won the title at Brook
| line. he was aided materially by the
| same obstacles In his match with
| Guilford he laid the Boston siege
gun nearly a dozen stymies. and also
laid four for Bobby Jones and two for

latter in the finals
