ARMOUR'S IRON PLAY

Americans Game in Scoring a II

BY BERNARD DARWIN.

CANDWICH, England, June 8.-Yes-

at Princes, and how delightfully."-
he played for his II! He missed cou-
pie Of short puts, but he hit the ball
very truly, nevertheless, with his little
wooden putter, and his iron shots were
as even as poetical dream.
No one more ecstatically enjoyed see
ing the shots than j. H. Taylor, now
one OF the gallery and by common con-
sent the greatest iron player Of his day.
saw Armour hit one super-long shot
with his iron out of the bunker right
home 10 the green and what could be
said after that? 1t was just fine, con-
fiIent mastery golf.
Mas Smiths round at st. Georges
had a family likeness to his round at
the Princes course. Again he got into
three bunSers and again he did not al
low these mispiays to cost him col
lectively one single stroke, so well did
he recover and putt.
Gene Sarazen dropped a stroke or
, two in the first few holes and again in
the last two, but his whole demeanor
bespoke the fact that he was not wor-
rying and did re- want to waste any
supertluous fireworks.
