Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-09-25
Second Round.

years sensation at Pebble Beach, who
put on one of the greatest finishes we
ever have seen to take John McHugh
to the final green.
And in the afternoon we watched
George Voigt miss three iron shots in
row-something he never before has
done to our knowledge-to lose 2-to-1
decision TO young Seaver, while Jones
was playing sad golf to beat Fred
Hoblitzell of Toronto, by 5 and 4.
Hoblitzell, you will remember, played in
the Chevy Chase tournament last
Spring and was beaten by Harry Pitt.
Jones was out in 20 against him and
up, which shows the kind Of golf that
the emperor was shooting. But to get
back to that Goodman -McHugh match.
That was one of the finest thrillers that
ever have been played. Goodman, the
giant killer, was / down playing the
sixteenth and he left his approach putt
is feet short He holed it for half.
At the 215-yard seventeenth he nearly
holed his tee shot for an ace, and
Johnny McHugh countered by running
down 5-foot putt for a half In birdie
Is. And, at the eighteenth, Goodman
played q widely hooked second shot
which left him somewhere east Of Suez.
He came from the sand to Is feet short
of the hole and holed the putt for 4.
McHugh finally won the match with q
par 4.
Ouimet Plays Poorly.
Ouimet was just poor golfer IS he
succumbed TO young Kocsis. He couldn't
hit his tee shots and he couldn't hit
his iron shots and he finally faded out
on the sixteenth.
But that Voigt match must have been
a nightmare to the one-ttHe inpeccable
one from washington. George started
slowly, as he always does, and was
down at the fifth. He finally got even
at the ninth, and when he played o
tenth. every one figured that George was
all set to 60. But instead OF moving
forward, George moved to the rear. He
lost the eleventh by half-hitting his
pitch shot. And he lost the twelfth
by half-hitting a spade shot, and II
there In one club the former public links
star likes, it is that same spade. That
left him down, and he lost the thir-
tenth when he bunkered his tee shot
at this short hole. Three down with 5
10 play, George won the fourteenth
kill, three putted the green. But George
Voigt Is gracious. He gives as good as
he sends. So he three-putted the flf-
tenth and was dormie. He won the
sixteenth when the youngster got faint
hearted with his second shot and was
In the unromantic spot of being dormie
two. The end came on the seventeenth,
which they halved in par IS.
Jess Sweetser holed two of the finest
puts that ever have been hoied in this
or any other championship to finally
win a fighting second round match
from Jack Ahearn of Buffalo. Both
SweetSer and Ahearn got In the tour
nament on play-off for the last few
places and they fought each other like
pair of terrier pups. Ahearn OUT
dubbed the former champion through
most of the match and Jess outlasted
the taciturn Buffalo man. Sweetser was
2 down with 3 to play, but he canned
a 40-footer on the sixteenth to win.
They halved the seventeenth and Jess
went to the home hole dormie. Here
he holed another 40-footer to win the
hole with par 4 when anything short
of perfection would have put him in the
gallery. And he finally wound up with
q par on the nineteenth when Ahearn
obligingly trapped his tee shot.
Meanwhile, Johnny Lehman was So
journing his leisurely way through two
matches and will be no set-up today as
he matches shots with Eugene Romans
for the right to enter the Semi-fnal.
