fifth, where his extreme length off
the tee put him in trap. He
skidded again at the twelfth, where
an iron shot found a bunker and he
took three puts at the thirteenth,
where a 300-yard tee shot left him
but 80 yards to go, and he shanked
his run up into a trap.
Three brides graced his card and
on three other occasions long puts
for brides brushed by the lip of the
cup. His card also showed three
three-putt greens. Otherwise Ro-
lands game was f1awless. Splitting
the middle with his tee shots and
putting boldly for the pin, the Co
lumbia lad drew one of the largest
galleries of the day to watch two
shots that stand out among the most
brilliant he ever played. These were
his spoon shot from a close lie at
the seventh to the green, 260 yards
away, and an iron tee shot at the
211-yard ninth that nearly hit the
pin, stopping but 2 yards away.
Roland missed the putt and
chance to add another deuce to his
2-yarder for at the 126-yard
fourth. He ended the round with
birdie that came within an inch
of being an eagle.
VOigt Puts Poorly.
George Voigt's failure came about
through five 3-putt green's and the
knowledge that he had to shoot a
brilliant round to be certain of quail
flying. Voigt thought he had to shoot

tralize the efforts that failed. Usually
one of the finest putterS that ever hit
a golf ball, Voigt was upable to get
his touch on the keen Baltusrol
greens. Five 3-pdtt green's were not
ALL for several puts for brides failed
to droy, a crept in at the eleventh.
where the Bannockburn star put
tee shot under the cop of a bunker,
and he finished with a brace Of 6s
where q pair of As would have left
him in.
Playing the seventeenth. although
George didn't know it then, he needed
two As to qualify. He felt sure 1874
would not make it. and went after
everything. Two crashing wooden
shots left him a pitch and a putt for
a at the 578-yard seventeenth. But
he half topped his pitch. 1t found a
bunker and he took 6. That left
him at the par eighteenth for
1853. But again George found trouble
and again he took s.
STEVENSON Is Steady.
Stevinsons round of n yesterday
was a brilliant bit of golf and vastly
more indicative of the true game of
the Columbia star than his sc of Mon
day. He finished 6. 5, getting in
trap at the seventeenth, and hooking
an iron shot at the eighteenth, where
he stretched a driving iron to get
home against the wind.
The bright spot of Stevinson's
round of yesterday, intermingled with
a lot of steady golf, was his brilliant
stand over the first nine, after a
CHASTITY at the very first hole. Here
he put his second shot in a trap, just
as he did in the play-off, lost a shot
getting out and took three puts. The
rest of his game up to the seventeenth
was steadineSs personified, and he
really felt he would qualify when he
sank q 20-footer for a. birdie 8 at the
fourteenth, a tricky affair of 39S
yards.
Have Lots of Trouble.
~~Houghton, Hufty and Newton were
never able to get started. Hufty
said he played some of the best golf
of his life yesterday, but he ran
into an on the SECOND hole, where
he put his second shot out of bounds,
and had three 6s in a row, beginning
with the thirteenth.
Houghton, putting poorly and find
ing no end Of trouble around the
green's, ran into real disaster at the
seventeenth, where too close ac-
quaintance with the sandy wastes
of Baltusrols bunkers cost him a 9.
Newton, virtually out of the run
ming after an SO on his first round,
uncovered brace of Is at the sixth
and seventh yesterday, to put him
far back.
