Birdie Four.

Birdie Four.
Twenty hole, 571 yards, par
Prank was afraid of the ditch
again and shot on the left on another
fairway- Perry was down the mid
die. Perry put his second short of
the trap which guards the greens
while Franks second was on the
edge of the trap. Perry pitched ap
close to the pin and Frank went to
the edge of the green. Frank missed
his long putt, but Perry dropped his
for a birdie four and once again
was square.
Twenty fourth hole, $50 yards. par
Perry got a beautiful drive we'll
placed to give him an open shot over
the ditch to the green. Frank missed
the only drive he dubbed during the
day and was in the dry ditch under
the willows to the left. He made the
most remarkable shot of the day from
this bad lie in long grass, getting on
the green Is feet away. Perry
dropped his pitch well inside Frank
GodchauX did not hit his approach
putt and was far short. He missed
his second. Perry laid up dead and
dropped in for a par four, going into
the lead for the first time since the
fourth hole of the morning round.
Twenty fifth hole, 337 yards, par
-Perry's drive was perfectly placed
but Frank hit terrific wallop within
10 yards of the green. Perry's pitch
was 20 odd feet away. Franks pitch
was too strong and only inches nearer
than Perry's-so close in fact that it
was necessary to measure to see who
was away. Perry approached dead.
Frank was far. short and missed his
four. Perry dropped his par four
and was two up.
Eagle Three.
Twenty sixth hole, 449 yards. par
PERRY was hit into the rough on
his 250-yard drive. Frank was so
yards in advance, in the fairway.
Perry put his second on the green,
20 feet from the pin. Franks sec
ond was further from the pin than
Perry's. Frank missed his putt but
lay up dead. Perry carefully studied
the ground and then dropped his putt
for an eagle three, becoming three
up.
Twenty-s hole, $50 yards.
par 5-Perry's drive was up the mid
die for 335 yards. Frank was beyond
him but in the, rough. Perry's sec
ond was just as good as his third and
within easy pitching distance. Frank
had a poor second from miserable
lie and third equally as bad. He
was in trouble all the way and took
five to get on the green. Perry was
there in three and took two puts to
win and go four up, with record
breaking SO for the nine holes; four
under par.
Twenty eight hole. ,2o4 yards, par
3-Perry was short and to the right
in the rough. Frank was short and
in a trap Frank pitched close to the
pin, while Perry was short. Perry
missed his putt by an inch. Frank
did likewise and the hole was halved
in fours, leaving Perry four up.
Twenty-ninth hole, 3!4 yards, par
f1y1lv nj
drive of 24O yards. Frank did like
wise. Perry pitched high and onto
the green. Frank pitched on, but
rolled to the far edge. Frank tried
to get birdie, but was too strong:
Perry was within few inches OF
his and Perry was down in four to
Thirtisth hole, 1888 yards, par 3:
Perry pitched to within four feet of
the pin while Frank was 20 rect
away. Frank was too strong Win
inch, but Frank missed his third and
Perry dropped his. to go six up, with
only six to go. This made the match
dormie and all Perry had to do to
win was halve any hole.

and landed on hard, rocky place IN
