Wehrle's Foe in Bad Luck.
Wehrle's match with Evans had an
unfortunate ending. As Evans
started to address his ball on the
eighteenth green, it moved slightly
without being touched. Evans imme-
diately called to Wehrle and told him
what had happened. The referee
promptly called it a stroke against
him, giving him S against the Amer
leans winning 4.
Through the thirteenth hole it ap-
peared that Wehrle was headed for an
easy victory, but his game fell apart

the next three holes with sparkling
golf to square the match. The seven

got that costly break at the home hole
to bow out Of the tourney.
