the 312 yard tenth while Johnston's
carried to the heather. johnson con-
coded the hole after a pitch and two
puts. Great drive, Bobby" said

only two down but the 18th was
halved. leaving Jones dormie two.
Continuing his great rally, john
ston won the 18th with a birdie four
to Jones' five and was only one down
with a hole to play.
Rushing thousands stampeded
around the dog-leg 18th to see the
balls come sailing " the buildings
projecting into the course. With
great difficulty the fairways were
cleared. All Bobby needed was a half
to dispose of Jimmy then and there
but timidity at this hole is as danger
GUS as boldness.
Jones, instead Of playing bravely
for the green as he did against Tolley
yesterday. played short and found
the big bunker directly between his
ball and the flag. He played for safe
ty far to the right of the pin.
Johnston, OH the lower edge of the
green in two and having everything
to gain and nothing to lose by adven-
turous shots, rolled his ball from more
than 100 yards to within six feet of
the cup. Jones vas SO feet away and
took two puts while Johnston holed
his to win the hole with a birdie four
and send the match to the home
green.
Johnston's drive at the 18th was
short of the road across the fairway
while Jones was over it. Both sec
onds reached the green. Jones in the
far lefthand corner and Johnson in

while Johnston putted to within three |
feet Of the cup. Jones sent his ball
plump into the cup while the crowds !
gave the two Americans a rousing
cheer for a great match.
