Pulled back to even terms by
Cameron's inspired burst at the
start of the back nine, Yates, the
defending champion, stood on the
18th tee all square. A great gal
lery of more than 1000 already
was counting him out, but the At

at the 18th to win the hole when
Cameron's second shot went into a
sand pit. and took the 17th and the

Ball Obeys Orders.
After playing the first nine in 81
to be up, Charley needed a As
foot putt to tie Cameron's birdie
at the 10th and got it.
"Gwan, get in there" yelled Yates
as the ball rolled for the cup.
Get in the house there, get in"
he shouted again at the 14th. where
his chip shot just slid by the cup
and Cameron managed to catch
him.
The gallery was pleased with the
champions great fight At the 18th
green Yates magnanimously gave
his opponent a 3-foot putt in the
height of the battle.
Yates maintained he was lucky
to get that putt down on No. 10 and
that pitch so close on II. If it hadn't
been for those two shots, this boy
would have blistered me-"
Chapman said he'd never played
better" and those who followed him
were convinced he win give Yates q
great fight tomorrow.
