enable Al Houghton to get a half.
the boys played like champions with
big share OF the money resting on
their own efforts. Yet they didn't
bet very much themselves.
Leo Walper came from 2 down
to whip Chandler Harper by 2

a grim struggle with Erie Ball,
Whacked in a down-hill TO-

All in all the local pros performed
like a bunch Of stale horses. They
will go to Richmond next Sunday with
lead of 5l2 to y in a spot where
all they need is single victory or a
brace OF halves to win the match.
More than thousand folks saw the
match and cheered as the Washington
mentors staged rally after rally. They
saw Cox play the first nine in 80,
take buzzard on the 1lth and after
beating Bobby Cruickshank and !
walk the last hole without playing it
out. They saw Walper come from
away back to lick Harper They saw
Spencer play two magnificent shots
to nose out Ball and they saw Dif-
fenbaugh hit a tree with his second
shot on the final hole when 4

point. AS it is. that match yesterday
established the Washington pros with

accomplish what would amount to
