ST. AUGUSTINE. Fla, March 20.
-Bang-up partnership golf put
81 900 in the pocket of Denny Shute
and a trophy in the hands of Bill
Stark when they routed the favorites
from the national amateur profess
sional 4-ball tournament yesterday.
Shute, former British open and
American P. G. A. champion from
West Newton, Mass, and Stark,
Jacksonville, Fla. insuranceman,
ousted Marvin Stahl of Lansing,
Mich, and Chick Harbert of Battle
Creek, Mich, S and 4, in the 36-hoie
final.
Stahl got $500 and his amateur
partner also took trophy.
Shute was off his game in the
morning and the Stahl- -Harbert
team took Cup edge. It would
have been far greater, but for the
fine work of Stark, who carried
most of the burden.
But in the afternoon Shute went
to work. He wiped out the deficit
on the first two holes with brides,
the first on 20-foot and the second
on 40-foot putt. Before it was
over Shute won three more holes
and Stark took couple with
brides to complete the rout.
Stahl and Harbert had won the
medal and come through the tougher
half of the draw to earn the role
of favorites.
