Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-05-27

from the first hole where Spark shot q
birdie at him the Portland dentist
couldn't get the touch of the racing
greens nor solve the problem Of stiff
criss-crosS winds.
Willing. fought gamely all the way, but
tne match and then only for the dura-
ton OF one holes play. Trailing by one
hole at the turn, the American won the
eleventh to square the match and the
twelfth to take the lead, but the Scots
man won the thirteenth to even the
match and then went into the lead
again at the fifteenth, where DR.. Willing
needed 5. The sixteenth was halved In
Is, but the match ended on the next
green, where DR.. Vikings best was 9.
On the nrst nine, after Spark had
opened IRE with q birdie s, Willing
squared the match at the third The
sixth and seventh were evenly divided,
leaving the match all square, but Spark
went into the lead on the short eighth
with par 3 and rounded the turn with
ons-hole lead.
COnqueror IL Unknown.
Spark, vikings conqueror, Is a 40
year-old bank clerk from Montrose. For
farshtre, Scotland, and a virtual UNI
known so far Is British golf is con-
cerned.
Throughout the match DR.. Willing
found trouble on the green's. He missed
several puts of from five to ten feet,
distances at which he usually is deadly.
The wind and the sun had made the
green's lightning fast and pitts which
were q little too strong rolled yards
past the hole. DR.. Willing PLAYED with
his usual painStaking care and prepara-
ton, but couldn't pull the match out Of
the IRE.
The gallery which grew as the VIII
hng-Spark match came home was as
much surprised at the Oregonian's de-
feat as were other members of the
American walker Cup team.
Crowds deserted outgoing galleries to
see the finish Of the match at the
famous seventeenth hole. DR.. Willing
never before played so ineffectiVely in
Great Britain as he did today. British
experts had expected the Portland
dentist to reach the last Is at least, but
he won't even get to meet Roger
Wethered, who was next in his path.
