III LuS ulQdle OF the 1auWay, Wnue
FinkenStadt hooked to the rough, right
up against the new wire fence which
has been constructed along the bound
AIRY line to keep the caddieS from tear
ing up George T. Dunlop's beets and
Strawberries in their search for golf
balls struck over the fence. It looked
for all the world as II FinkenStadt
would lose the hole. But Spicer topped
his niblick shot and the ball ran across
the road well down toward the tenth
green.
Few See Thriller.
Bob Cummings, G. H. Chasmar, Hugh
Eaum and Harry Gilligan sat on the
eighth tee and watched Finkenstadt
uproot an out of bounds post so he
could take swing at his ball. They
watched him swing his club back
against the steel fence so he could see
Just how far back his club would 60
without spelling the shot. His back
swing could not be made properly, and
there in front of him loorned waste OF
bunkerS and hazards with lot of bite
necessary to keep the ball on the abbre-
waited putting green. It would be lucky,
all agreed, II Finkenstadt could get the
ball out in the fairway.
Finally he swung, and wonder OF
Wonders-that ball arched up IN a
high arc, hit slope at the right side
of the green, and came to rest Is feet
from the cup. We have seen many great
golf shots, but that, we aver, was one
of the finest we ever have witnessed,
and one of the best that has ever been
made. To make the shot better, he
might have hoied it for q 8. but he
didn't have to, for Spicer picked UP his
ball and conceded the hole
Finkenstadt was then 3 down, but
he got no better fast on the short
eighth. for there Spicer nearly holed
his tee shot, and got o deuce to win.
That was. the. end of Spicer'S gallant
effort, however, for from that point
Fiakenstadt played, the next nine holes
in two better than par to close out
the Indian Spring golfer on the sew
enteenth. +.
Albert r. Mackenzie started out as If
he would lose to the long-hitting j.
Monro. Hunter, but he knocked In Q
couple of long puts on the nth and
Seventh--both for birdies-and took
the fifteenth green. Tommy Aycock,
who looks to, US like the winner OF
the tournament. gave Page Hufty an
artistic 5-to-4 trimming in the morn
ing and then downed Charles W. Cole,
jr., of Indian Spring in q contest of
titanS in the afternoon. This match
produced the hottest golf Of the. day,
for nothing but brides would win holes.
