]. J. Lynch, of the Argyle Coun-
try Club, is the surprise entry IN
the championship flight of the Town
and Country Club tourney. Yester'
day, he blasted his way into the
semi finals by disposing Of Leo +.
Pass. of Bannockburn, / up In ~
holes, and s. II. Buttz, OF 1nd1an
Spring, and 8. Buttz is recognized
al the South Dakota amateur cham
pion and won the, Indian Spring
tourney last year
The unknown golfer from Ar
gyIe has forced many to lift
eyebrows. Arthur B. Thorn, pro
Mt Town and Country, paid him
n compliment by saying he was
the straightest off the tee OF
any I'm the tourney.
Pass gave Lynch harder Strug'
gle than Buttz because Lynch
scored pars on seven OF the last lO
holes and was carried to the tWen-
tieth before winning. Buttz was
three down to Lynch at the eighth,
but cut the margin to two by tax
ing the ninth on birdie when ne
putted 30-footer from the slopihs
edge of the green.
The most spectacular Offering OF
yesterdays golf was given by Page
Hufty. former North and South
amateur champion. With his sec.
old shot lying on the green and
about 40 feet from the flag, Hurty
dropped the putt for birdie three.
The shot was all the more remark
able because it was DOWNFALL lie
and the ball had to travel over
mound.
Hufty apparently is on his
Fame. az he dOwned Frank X.
ROesch. winner of the Washing.
ton Golf and Country Club, by
and / I'm his first round.
Another remarkable shot was
scored by Walter Barrett, of AT
Ryle, who eliminated Robert Hlrd
az Manor, / up In 20 holes. His
tAe shot on the nineteenth landed
into the trees and a tall cedar pre-
vented him from playing directly
out to the green on the left. Forced
to sacrifice a stroke, he pitcheo
ont to a right angle position and
then laid his niblck almost into
the cup and holed out for a par
four, giving him half.
Harry G, Pitt, the youthful Manor
club star and Middle Atlantic anna
.teIIr champion, is also rounding tc
form, He upset James Herman
Sc Miami Valley Club and medalist
