As q Rally by Shorey Fails
FRANK X. ROESCH,

From that point the game settled
down into grim struggle. with Roesch
apparently content to play along and
cling to his lead. and Shorey grimly in
tent on cutting strokes away, going for
everything.
Shorey lost stroke at the thirteenth
and gained it back at the short four
tenth. He gained another at the nj
tenth, and they stood on the sixteenth
tee with Roesch leading by three strokes
with three holes to go. They halved
the sixteenth in birdie As, and Shorey
picked up another stroke at the seven
teenth, where Roesch hooked his sec
ond shot. That left Shorey with 2
stroke deficit and one hole to go.
Shorey played magnificent iron
second to the home green, which kicked
badly and left him 90 feet from the
hole. while Roesch pushed his iron shot
to the side of trap. Roesch Clipped
out, seven feet from the hole, ana
Shorey needed that putt for a g. which
might tie. The ball barely missed the
cup and that left Roesch needing two
puts to win. He made sure to put that
bali stone dead, stroking 1t up to with
in three inches of the cup, as Shorey
rushed over to congratulate him.
Here is the way they finished in the

Another letter, following closely on
that received from H. H. Ramsay, vice
president of the United States Golf AS
ISOLATION, received yesterday by Miller
B. STEVENSON, convinced the Columbia
club star and his friends that Stevenson
will be allowed to play in the national
amateur championship at Philadelphia
later in the month.
Dear Mr.. Stevinson:
"Mr Ramsay has written you letter
notifying that your name has been
placed on the substitute list for the
amateur championship, and this will
certainly give you a chance to COM
pete.
The championship committee YVES
certainly deluged with kilograms from
the clubs in the Washington district,
and, of course, there was only one
answer. as you know.
Il am glad that you will be- on the
firing line again, and wishing you every
success in the championship, am,
Sincerely yours,
THOMAS j. MCMAHON"
