then annexed the sixteenth and seven
teenth when HezIet was bunkered on
the former and Harris was out of
bounds over the sheds on the famous
road hole. Halving the eighteenth
left them 2 up at lunch time.
Jones and Gum Play WeH.
Fine teamwork enabled Jones and
Gum to end the morning play six up
They lost only the eleventh hole when
Jones missed a yard putt which was
made dIff7cult because of the position
of his opponents ball on the sloping
green. He more than made up for
this error by his fine driving and his
iron shots together with his general
ship which carried the Americans to
the home green without weakening OF
waverinG.
Gum played up to his partner most
OF the time. He h0led out a 2~-foot
putt over Che undulatinG surface of
the enormous thirteenth green for a
sensational birdie 3. and following II
up at 5f6-yard fourteenth, or long
green, with Il feoter for a birdie 4.
On the outward journey Jones and
Gunn PLAYED golf Of almost mechani-
cal perfection. sending second shots
to within IL and 10 feet of the cup
and taking the regulation two puts
hole after hole.
Foes Errurs Are Costly.
Although FOLEY played somewhat
better than Young Jameson, the fsrh
ish veteran and former champion
made numerous costly shots. jamie
son at times perhaps gave his part
ner too much to do. but TOlley never
exhibited amy particularly fine golf i'm
recovering from JalnieS~'s errors.
At the tenth Tolley pulle" his drive
into Il la-acre patch of gUrse. After
several hundred spectators had beaten
the prckly bushes for the allotted
time without finding the ball the Brit
ish players surrendered the hole.
After halving the first hole the
Britons lost the second when Jameson
topped his second shot and Tolley fol-
lowed by missing ii chip from the edge
OF the green. The Americans were
we'll on in two and Jones sank IL
footer for birdie three.
The teenth, or road hole, found
both Americans and British in CON
siderable trouble. but the Britons' er-
rors started right from the tee when
Jameson sent the ball out Of bounds
instead of around the stone wall and
old buildings which project into the
fairWay.
Jones PLAYED beautiful second shot
with his bfassi. 40 yards from the
cup while ToIey scared over the
narrow table green and into the road.
Attempting to play safe, Gunn ran
his shot up, but II would not hold
fast on the green and trickled over
the edge into the road. Jameson
PLAYED his ball from behind pile
of stones, playing il 10 yards be
yOnd the pin. Jones had more diffi-
cult lie in wagon rut and had to
play off the line. The ball again re
fusins to hold to the surface OF the
green. ran to the opposite edge. Gum
putted short but Tolley missed an H.
foot downhill putt, giving the Ameri-
cans the hole in I to the BrilonS' s.
Roland Bears Up His End.
Gardeners fine putting was fea-
ture of the match with Brownie"
and Storey. The British pair seemed
fairly uutcIaSsed on the morning
showing bv the steady and often bril-
liant work of the American par
Gardner holed ont fine l3-yard putt
1T the tenth hole and capped 1t with
one still more brilliant OF ~ yards
at the thirteenth.
Young Mackenzie Kept his rnd of
the game up well and his good driv-
ing and steadiness WAS material
feature of the play which brought his
team 10 the home hole 4 up.
Storey's game seemed eSpetlAliN
weak and RrownIow was not playing
nearly as we'll AZ AT Muirffeld. The
seventeenth road hole caught him for
the usual penalty on out of bounds.
Somewhat slack putting and no
little hard luck kept Onimet and G'ill-
ford ? down to Wethered and Holder
ness during the morning play. Neth-

his ball.

against lIarris-Ii IiezIet opened In the
afternon with n half. Iieziet's two.
yard putt just dropping In the cup.
Sweetser had a better approach putt
at the twentieth hole and the Ameri.
cans captured 1t. On the twenty-frst
hole Won Film was short with his
approach putt. but SWeetser got down
a 4-footer for a half.
Sweetser's Chip Dead.
Won Elm was short on his ap-
proach shot at the next hole again
but Sweetser chipped mp dead to the
pin to get the necessary half in four
ON the long 20.3O hole. Sweetser
