It's that come-from-b ehinder
who gains the laurels in any
sports. and Miller B. STEVENSON
thoroughly indicated he is
fighter by coming through to WIN
the annual Washington Golf and
Country Club tourney. He de-
feated Henry D. Nicholson, cham
pion of the host club, / up in 10
holes.
It was the third straight occa-
sion that STEVENSON, trailing his
opponents. went to extra holes
for the verdict. He journeyed to
the twentieth hole to master
Harry G. Pitt, of Manor. / up in
the second round, and was taken
% holes by w. j. Cox, Of Beaver
Dam, in the seminal round be-
fore gaining the decision.
Save for the first hole in
his struggle with Nicholson,
STEVENSON was down to all
these opponents, and it took
super.human effort on his
part to emerge with flying
cOlOrs.
STEVENSON, in the final match
with Nicholson, took the first hole
and then dropped three holes in
+ a row to go 2 down. He picked
up on the third and fourth holes.
He retrieved one of these at the
sixth, where Nicholson hooked
into the trap and barely got out
with his second. They halved
the next three holes and Nichol-
son turned for home with a one
hole lead.
A shot at the tenth started |
Nicholson on the downgrade. He
was off the green to the right |
and lying two. He pitched clear
over the green and out-of bounds.
Nicholson, without saying word,
turned toward the eleventh tee,
conceding the hole to STEVENSON.
That made them all square.
Both reached the short eleventh
from the tee and STEVENSON got
down In the usual two puts.
Nicholson bungled a 2-footer and
his opponent went into the lead.
Those two holes damaged
Nicholson most and cost him
the match, though he caught
mp on even terms with Stew.
