Links SOdden
Because of the sodden condi-
ton of the links, due to the over
night rain, the officials were
permitting players to clean all
balls on the green's before putting.
Johnny Goodman hit the turn
in par SO to go up on Chandler
Egan. At the eighth, Goodman
drove into the apple orchard while
Egan trapped his tee shot. Then
Johnny hit a fine second to the
green, 80 feet from the pin, while
Egan came out of the sand to a
point about IS feet short Of the
green. Then Chandler Clipped
on, 8 feet from the pin, and
Johnny failed to get his long one
down. After which, Egan holed
the 8-footer to get a half.
Goodman, meanwhile, retained
mis- one hole advantage over Egan
to the twelfth, the pair having
the tenth, eleventh and twelfth
In pars.
"Chick" Evans, the former
champion, and Ross Somerville,
the present one, were embroiled in
a "dog fight" the pair going to the
fifth all even. They halved each
of the first four holes in perfect
pars.
., Evans Puts Well
Evans, quite against precedent,
was putting beautifully and some
times sensationally, although he
was short by an inch for a birdie
at the third. However, "Chick"
dropped 20 footer for a winning
deuce at the fifth.
Starting over the back nine,
Somerville won the tenth with a
to a S, as the Chicagoan three
putted.
He promptly won the eleventh,
however, to make it all square
again. Here both were well down
the middle of the tee and so
close together that they had to
toss a coin to decide who would
play the "odd."
It fell to "Chick" and his reply
was a mashie niblick that was
one for the book. It caught the
line Of the pin and bit in, one
foot away for great birdie,
while Ross, putting from Is feet,
couldn't get the ball down.
At the fourth hole, Lawson
Little, San Francisco was 3 up
m Nenar Miller. Des MoineS;
Maurice Mccarthy, Cleveland,
and Pat Sawyer, Minneapolis,
were all square, and Eddie Held,
New York, was 3 up on Paul An
derson, New York. Little won
the first two holes with pars and
they halved the long third with
buzzard 6's. Held was even as
going to the fifth.
Gus Moreland, the Texan, was
one up on Jim Milward, Nakoma,
Wis, at the end of four holes.
Milward won the first with a par
4, but lost the second and fourth,
the latter to birdie 3.
Max Marston was 4 up on Kray-
enbuhl going to the thirteenth,
the former winning the tenth and
eleventh with pars but losing the
twelfth with a par 3.
Dunlap 1 Up
George Dunlap, jr., New York,
was / up on w. B. Mccullough,
Abingdon, Pa, at the end of four
holes.
w. R. Long, jr., Austin, Tex,
was up on w. o. Blaney, Boston,
at the fourth.
Sidney Noyes got a half at the
fourteenth and lost the fifteenth
with a buzzard S, Thompson being

Jack Westland, with brides at
the third and fourth, turned for
home up on Cowdrey. The Chi
