regulation match. On account Of the
water and mud, winter rules were In
effect, mud was wiped from the balls
and other competition rules were dis
pensed with. AS only nine holes were
to be played the second nine were
selected as being the dryer. Sarazen
and Mcleod, playing almost flawless
golf despite their unfamiliarity with
the course and the soggy turf, won
this nine, 2 and /.
1t then was decided to play three
extra holes, and Sarazen and his
partner won two and halved the
other, when Sarazen took an eagle

both won the final with par IS. The
second Is a 457-yard hole, and the
1922 open champion was home in 2,
a no inconsiderable feat with the
ground so wet that shots stuck where
they landed without a foot of roll,
the most spectacular hole of the day.
Marston approached dead for birdie
after topping his second, and Nc
Leod and Crabbe each had par SIS.
Throughout the short match the
play was remarkable, considering the
Leod playing in almost par figures.
Crabbe, the home pro, had trouble
with his shots, inaccuracy keeping
him from figuring in any holes. which
left a very large burden on the shoul-
ders of his partner. Marston. The
tail Philadelphian rose to the occa-
sion, playing magnificent golf, long
off the tees and deadly with his ap-
preaching, but he was unable to
cope with the combined efforts of
Sarazen and Mcleod.
Sarazen's game was the most i'm
presSive. He started off with six

Just refusing for brides on the
water-soaked green's, and his streak
was broken only on the short seventh

missed the green, burying in the mud
in an unplayable lie.
Marston played almost as perfect
game, with the low score of 36 for
the nine, saving several strokes by
putting better than any other of the
foresome. Marston wa3 substituted

amateur champion, at the last mo-

practically neck and neck during the
early stages. But the Middies had the

telling factor in each OF the races.
Navy's varsity and yearlings showed
specially good form in the final brush.
But the second varsity, which for
some unaccountable reason has failed
to hit a good stride throughout the
season, found it difficult to show the
way to the Orange juniors.

Corkran's Game Brilliant.
Roland Mackenzie, although he
was out in 38-one over par-was 2
down to the flying Corkran, and when
the latter played the first five holes
of the inward nine in 3 under lever
4s, the pace was far too hot for
Roland. 1t would have been SO for
any other golfer, no matter what his
ability.
Against such golf as that shown
by Corkran over a soft course where
the tremendous carry of his tee shots
gave him a great advantage, even
the good and fairly steady game of
Mackenzie was of no avail. Corkra an
had the best round and the best-look-
ing round probably that has ever
been shot at Roland Park. He got
no fuke puts, except 10 footer at
the twelfth that was down all the
way, and his play TO the greens was
excellent.
