Match Grew Exciting.
The match crumbled rather quickly, but
Just at the end 1t was much more excit-
ing than the score would show, and for
nearly all the time Wethered made a
very gallant fight. His driving looked
bose and unsteady beside Jones. but

The morning was, in fact, quite efficient.
His iron play was admirable, crisp, bold
and accurate He lost nothing by COM
parison even with Bobbys play. His
approach puts we're all well struck.
Where he failed was where he has been
successful all week-in his short and
middle length puts. Something was
wrong and I think he was letting his
rate he had good chances at the begin
ming of both rounds and he could not
take advantage of them. They would
not have altered the ultimate end. but
would have postponed 1t, fancy, until
near home hole.
So much for generalities Now for a
brief account of the run of the game
Wethered took three puts at the third
hole and laid grand pitch and run-up
shot out of the heather dead for a
three at the sixth. Otherwise he played
perfectly and Jones played perfectly al
the time Both were out in 35 and the
match was square at the turn.
Wethered then took three puts and

halved. Then came the first sign that
the strain was telling on the under

bad ones. but slips that cost shots He
took three fives for the thirteenth
fourteenth and fifteenth and lost al
three, for Bobby just clicked out foul
after four with automatic precision
Then Wethered made q real mistake
He sliced out OF bounds at the sixteentf
and that was five down. I already de-
scribed the seventeenth and Bobby
lunched UP.
