type that makes the best golfers;
he is a fighter, ahead or behind he
does not give up but plays all the
time to the best Of his ability.
Besides the discovery of a new
star, and such a star as White,
there is an another feature to be
considered. Doctor Tyson has play
ed golf for many years, hi is known
as the squarest golfer in the
State" and Doctor Tyson had set
his heart on winning this tourna-
ment.
1t seems too bad that Tyson, after
the golf he has displayed up to the
finals, could not have won. White
has many years ahead of him, while
Tyson only has a few years of real
active golf left. But this tribute
may be paid Doctor Tyson, while his
golf was not as good as Whites, his
spirit never gave up, and he took his
defeat in the best possible way that
it could be taken-with a smile and
praise for the new champion.
White really won the title by his
excellence in the short game. All
his approaches were deadly, and
every putt that needed to be sunk
was dropped. Tyson, had his putter
been working in the way that 1t u.s.
ually behaves, would have given
White a much better run for the
match. While White was only out
driven on two holes, there was never
enough difference between their
drives to really determine the hole.
White was apt to- hook, but for the
most part was straight down the
middle. Tyson sliced on two holes
and completely smothered his drives
on two others, but for the most part
he hit a law ball with fade-away
hook. The feature hole of the day
was number q. Tyson was $50 yards
down the middle on u his drive,
Whites ball lying just ahead. A
beautiful spoon shot put Tyson just
three feet from the pin, a distance
of 230 yards, Tyson sunk the putt
for an angle three. Whites second
was off to the right, but his ap-
proach rested on the lip of the cup,
losing the hole with a birdie four.
White played this hole0three times
during the day and had three brides
on it.
The first hole was won by White
after Tyson's second went through an
apple tree on the left side of the fair
way. White was short in two and
played a safe five for his win. White
hooked on the second, his ball stop
ping ESQ yards from the tee in the
rough. A remarkable recovery gave
him half in par four. On the third
Tyson topped his drife, but l5-foot
putt halved the hole for him in par
four. The fourth was halved in par
five after Tyson, with smothered
drive, holded another 15-foot putt. On
both these holes White was straight
down the middle. Ss he was on the
fifth. which he won with par four.
Tysons first drive being out of
bounds. This made White up. A
beautiful cut shot out of the trap on
the sixth halved the hole for White
in one over par. On the seventh both
drives were we'll over the 200 mark,
Tyson playing the old pitched over
the green, losing the hole 5 to 4. The
eighth was halved in fours as Tyson,
with a drive 10 feet from the pin.
took three puts. White won the ninth
with n birdie 4. when his mashie-nib-
lie left him with only a foot to putt.
The score at the turn was White up.
The 10th was halved in five when
White trimmed the cup. This was
break for Tyson, as White deserved
his four being on in two while Tyson
was on in three. White won the 11th
after a S00-yard drive, his approach
