The dame strolled with such
telling efefct, and Freddy counseled
with such wisdom that Roland
walked away with one OF the chief
honors ever to be given any golfer
that of low medaiist In the ma
tional amateur. His scores of II
and "a gave him pre-eminence even
over such golfers as Jesse Guflford.
Bobby Jones, George Won Elm,
Chick Evans and 100 others.
Secondly, In the pairings for the
match play, his time was an.
nounced as $40 o'clock daylight
saving time, and his opponent
certain Mr.. Richard mot Bobby
Jones.
Dfligent and indefatigable search
revealed the fact that Richard
Jones Is known as Dick Jones: that
he halls from the West Chester
Hills Club and that he is q very
ambitious golfer, with ideas Of his
own,
other than that, nothing was
known of Mr.. Jones. with the pos
stble exception that he crawled
into the pairings via a lucky break
in the play-off, and some punk
luck from Mr.. Chris Dunphy's

bracket, while Roland is in the
upper. The only really formidable
player In his half is the scowling
Jesse Sweetser, and Jess has not
shown anything to alarm the popu-
lace in this tournament. He HES
from old Yale, though, where they
breed fighters.
With the possible and slight ex-
ception OF an occasional topped tee
shot, MacKenzie's game Is perfect.
He said so himself, and so the
wide world ought to believe. His
nerve is absolutely unlimited, his
strength measures far beyond his
tender years and his benign face
and his natural aptitude for the
game is tremendous. Those are
assets that any bank would accept
for a longtime loan.
The boy could not equal his first
eighteen holes on the second day
Of qualifying play. He didn't need
to, and that probably accounts TOR
his small lapse. He was three
strokes higher than on the previous
round. He refused to be alarmed
ct that, though. And neither
Freddy Mcleod nor Albert
Mackenzie, the sire, have been seen
cogitating over 1t. Their cogitation
has ceased for the time being.
Shortly before he left the first
tee, Roland expressed complete con-
in
the finest of condition, and that
he was capable Of shooting the
game Of his life against Dick Jones.
The thirty-six hole battle is GER
tain to tell on Dickie Tar more
than on Roland.
ROIand's card of "a contained q
lot of meat. The first hole con-
fained q fun meal Of meditation
and thereafter he provided a0dl'
tional food for thought.
Ont in SS, he returned home
with a SO. Four brides caught
him flush on the score with timely
blows. Three were outgoing and
one was incoming. The first.
fourth, and ninth holes of 453, 516
and 462 yards respectively found
him in the cup In one less than
the orthodox number. He ticketed
one for the cup on the GIL yard
twelfth and made it in a birdie
four.
His card was:
Out, par 1913 4 4 5 3 4 8 5-37

That Chris Dunphy, failed to
make the grade can readily be
blamed on some unthinking people
who broke out in a boisterous
laugh just as he was driving off
on the tenth tee. Chris just failed
to get in. He was three strokes
too high, his total Of 161 was far
below most of the contestants, but
it was three strokes higher than
the highest qualifying score.
With an SO on the first round,
Chris knew full well what he would
have to shoot IL he was to get in.
That being the case, he stepped
cut on the first hole and brought
himself an eagle three. So far 80
good. A good tee shot, a spade
mashier, and an eight.fOOt gave
him the eagle for the 4S2-yard
hole.
On the second hole. Chris trimmed
the cup for birdie three and
was forced to take a par four. He
had a fair putting chance for par
on the third and blew 1t. On the
fourth. his tee shot found a com
