final over the Woodmont Club
course yesterday.
McKimmie, 2 up as the pair
teed off for the last nine, gath
cred two brides and two pars In
quick order. The match terni'
mated when Barnett drove into
the creek on the thirty-first.
McKimmie never trailed his
opponent after the third hole,
being l up at the end Of Ii.
His margin at the halfway
point might have been wider
had not several Of his puts
trimmed the cup.
One fine craftsmanship act
came to light at the conclusion
of the match. Barnett and Nc
Kimnaie had agreed to equally
divide first and second money
the day before. However, Bar
nett refused an even split and per-
suaded McKimmle to take first
money.
McKimmie, the new champion,
is one of the most skillful golfers
in the Middle Atlantic area
though the index and forefinger
fingers on his right hand are cut
off at the first joints. His de.
cisive victory over Barnett was
o complete surprise. The cards:
