~ HATTANOOGA, Tenn, June 90
After IL years Of unsuccessful
Y campaigning in Southern ana
teur golf championships, Chas-
teen Harris Of Memphis today Travelled
the victory path to win the 1891 title
in q great finish from Jack Toomer OF
Jacksonville, Fla.
Over the heavily trapped RivervieW
course here and under a burning sun
Harris and Toomer struggled for 81
holes before the Memphian could close
the match for q 6-and-5 triumph.
Since 1921 Harris has participated in
every Southern titular meet. Several
wears ago at Louisville he reached the
semi-finals, only to lose to Nelson Gid
denS. Last year q 15-year-old left
handler, Fred Webb, Shelby, N. c., put
him out in the first round.
Toomer, a 21-year-old youngster
making his debut in the Southern
played we'll and fought gamely, bu
could not match Harris stride as the
Bluff City star sank puts from al
angles of the green and slipped out Of
many difficulties with little penalties.
For the first nine holes there wa:
little to choose between their play
Toomer finally going ahead at the turI
after sinking q 25-foot putt for a deuce
! on the ninth, Harris began his strinl
of uncanny puts on the second nint
and went to lunch 3 up. Toomer haC
much trouble with his tee shots on Thu
back nine, sending several into traps
and one out Of bounds.
Through the 81 holes Of their contest
Harris was only over par. Toomel
finished 10 strokes above standard fig-
ures
Starting the afternoon round, Harris
won two of the first three holes to &c
5 up. Toomer answered with q deuce
on the short twenty third to cut the
lead down to 4, but Harris won the next
two to become 6 up. They passed the
twenty-Seventh in this position, and
after the twenty-eighth was halved
Toomer made his last gesture with 9
par 3 on the eleventh to Harris 4
Toomer three-putted the next green
and Harris par 4 won to make him
dormie 6.
Toomer was on the short thirty-flrst
green in l and missed his 6-foot putt
for a birdie. which would have won tho
hole and given him another chance tc
pull a victory out of the IRE.

COLUMBUS, Ohio. June 20
When the annual Ryder Cup tear
matches are played, on Scioto Coun-
try Club course here June 1927
the leading professionals Of England
and the United States will find q
course which Is simple, yet true
test Of golf.
Scioto, with additional traps, four
new and improved green's, all COM
pleted since the national open was
played there In 1926, is certain to
prove test for the Ryder Cup
teams.
It is a unique type Of golf course
in the fact that 1t is not heavily
burdened with sand traps. Natural
rolls OF the ground and rather Sc
we're rough tend to keep the player
on his mettle to score well.
The green's, while not overtrapped,
will cali for reasonably accurate
second shots, nor are they especially
troublesome. except in one or two
cases, in the way of undulation, but
they will be found fast enough to
require a true touch.
Above all, SciotO demands long
and well placed tee shots, with ac-
curate seconds to the green. The
shot requirements of the course:
No. 40 yards. A straight drive
of $50 yards leaves comparatively
easy approach shot. A par Of 4 Is
not difncult.
No. $50 yards. Here the ball
must be driven perfectly straight
with a carry of close to 200 yards.

After all, what difference does it
make whether you score IS or 90. You
start out level just the same on the
first tee with your opponent, as you
used to do. You both play the same

you used to beat it isn't because of the

usually because the other chap played
