pected to be an entrant.
Seventeen-year-old Freddie put
together two fine rounds of II and
Is for a 146 total to lead the field
from the opening tee shot to the
final putt, outstripping his nearest
rivals, including Ralph Bogart, the
District amateur champ, by five
shots. Bogart won second place in

Downey of Hillendale. Bogart played
the four holes of the playoff in one
under par.

Cross exhibition matches at Indian
Spring July a. Answering letter
from Fred Mcleod, who played with
Chick, Walter Hagen and Jim

Red Cross, Evans wrote that urgent
business will keep him in Chicago
on July T.
But I am sure you will have a
fine affair" said the affable Chick.
