rolling through the lips OF
Arthur B. Thorn as he
watched Freddie Mcleod smack a
perfect iron shot toward the eighteenth
pin at Woodmont. Freddie and Mrs.
j. Marvin Haynes. partners in the ex-
hibition match which featured the field
day at Woodmont. had just squared
their match with Mrs. Betty p. Meek
ley and Thorn, home pro, on the
previous green. They came to the
eighteenth hole all square, in spot
where one shot might decide the con-
test.
AS Freddie stung that high iron shot
from a bad lie in the rough toward the
pin, 1t looked as If the Columbia pair
had a chance to make a Garrison
finish and pull out of the fire a match
in which they were down all the way.
For Mrs. Meckley with three brides on
the first nine holes, ably partnered by
Thorn. had kept her side in the lead
until the seventeenth hole. Here Mrs.
Haynes and Mcleod squared with a
brace of par IS.
So Thorn, who Is not a gent to sit
back and take a licking on his own
course, steadied himself down to a
mashie shot to the eighteenth. So
deftly did he play that shot it looked
as If the ball might hole out. He laid
1t two feet from the pin and that won
the golf match. Mrs. Meckley and
Thorn won the two points on that
eighteenth hole that annexed the con-
test and gave the largest gallery ever
to watch an exhibition at Woodmont
more than its share of thrills.
For the first nine Mrs. Meckley's fine
work was the outstanding feature. AS
she slipped on the last nine Thorn
came through with a "a for u, which
was the leading score of the match.
and Mrs. Meckley, whose game sagged
over the last nine, was 90. The match
was played on the two-points-a-hole
system of best ball and aggregate scores.
Melvin Kraft won the mems driving
contest with three wallcps, totaling 638
yards. M. Goldstein was next with 627
yards, and c. Kaufman was third with
