though he first made 1t as difficult
as possible. Both were straight

was only a near-stynie however,
and Bobby easily sank the putt for
a half.
Held and Dawson, at this junctule
had made the turn for home with
Dawson being two up at the ninth,
rather surprising state OF affairs.
The Chicagoan, however, was con-

sistent in greens.
Jones became 3 up by winning
the seventh hole, where Chick
strayed into dire difficulties and
took . Z. He drove into q trap,
took two shots therein, finally

hooked his drive off the eighth, the
ball falling into the inevitable trap

rewarded his followers by assuming
a up advantage in the first five
holes. The day was overcast, at
the outset, but a warm sun emerged
from the bank Of clouds, co-inci-

His chip was short and it began to
look like 6. Gum was straight
and true off the tee but sliced his
second to the rough.
AS he attempted to make his
