Ghezzi Wins
Links Crown
Tukes PGA Title in
Thrilling Contest

DENNER-Vic Ghezzi, the guy
they called the Morning Glory,
brought a quick end today 10 a
dispute over the 2sth hole on which
he won the Professional Golfers
association championship from
Byron Nelson in a grueling title
match at Cherry Hills.
I'VE made up our own
rules" Ghezzi said. Maybe
what we did isn't In the p.
q. A. rule book, hut II was
good enough for Nelson and
me"
What did happen never before
has come up in P. G. A. tourna-
ment. For r hectic few moments
as a gallery of 5000 pressed
around the 3sth green - it ap-
peared Ghezzi had won the title
on a foul from a man who still
is regarded among men who make
their living from golf as the great
est match player In the game.
Actually, Ghezzi did win
the championship when Mel
son blew a putt Of two and
half feet under the seyerest
sort Of pressure.
Here it was AT 4:50 p. m. Sun
day. Mountain standard time:
Ghezzi. notorious for folding up
under pressure. just had rallied
to win three holes from Nelson
and headed into an overtime
match. AS they approached the
3sth green all even, Ghezzi chip
ped his ball two and a half feet
from the pin. slightly to the right
Of Nelson followed with an ap-
proach the same distance from the
cup to the left of Ghezzi's ball.
The two were not more than a
foot apart.
MEASURES SHOT
Golf rules stipulate that the
man farthest from the hole puts
first and Nelson carefully mea-
sured the distance by every avail
able means. Failing TO determine
the honor by measurement, Nell
son tossed a coin and. winning the
toss. decided TO hole out first.
AS ne addressed the ball his foot
touched Ghezzi's ball and under
the match play code the match
was forfeited TO GhezZi.
There was no argument
about that between u.s."
GheLzi said. II told Byron
before he went over TO his ball
To move mine and mark the
spot If II was In his way. When
he touched II with his foot,
he proved II was In the way,
that's all
Nelson and Ghezzi took IL in
stride. but tournament officials
were prepared to bring the match
To an embarrassing end II Ghezzi
had protested. As IL is. Ghezzi

ward in dismay. Harry! He had
come back and Stanley had seen
him and taken him around the
end of the hedge out of sight of
everyone to explain to him that
she wanted to break the engage
ment, and would he come back
next week for the ring, and Har-
ry was telling him there never had
been an engagement and - oh,
dear! What should she do? Would
it be worse to go to them and
make her own explanations or to
slip out of the garden and be out
of sight if they should glance in
here.
Before she could decide Nancy
rushed out of the front door and
standing on the step looked about
her anxiously.
"Pidge" she called. "Pidge!
Where are your" She hurried
down the steps and into the gar
den.
Peggy breathed again. Maybe
after all it was only Pidge to
whom Stanley was talking.
isn't he here?" Nancy contin-
ued, starting up the path towards
Peggy. II saw him from the house
coming up the drive, but he didn't
come in"
AS Peggy started to reply she
heard the sound of running feet
behind the hedge and an eager
vo;ce cried, Here I am"
Peggy's mouth remained open
and she stood as if petrified with
establishment. Here he was in
deed. Harry - Harry and Nancy
rushing towards each other. Har.
ry was Pidge. Harry's ring hac

side, answered for Peggy.
Nancy gave him a quick suspi-
cious glance.
cts too bad you can't find
yours" she continued, still watch
ing Peggy.
"But Peggy's has been found"
Stanley explained. II was just
bringing it to her." He drew a
ring from his pocket and stood
holding it in his hand. 1t was an
exact duplicate of Nancy's.
"The one from Carver's, of
counsel" Peggy cried to herself.
"He was there when Mr.. Carver
talked about making it. It was he
who bought it this afternoon"
"You see they are exactly alike.
Strange, isn't it," Stanley was
saying.
"But where?" Peggy exclaimed,
glancing from one ring to the
other.
Stanley laughed. Don't give
me the credit. Mrs. Horton is the
real detective. You didn't know,
did you," addressing Peggy, chat

"You mean you honestly be-
lieve you can find the ring this
afternoon?" Peggy jumped to her
feet with her eyes shining. "Have
you any idea where it is? Where
will you look?"
He shook his head at her re-
provingly. Don't ask questions.
Don't you remember I told your
grandmother I had my own meth
od?"
Williams small grandson ap-
peared at the entrance before she
could answer.
"Dey's done rang de gong for
dinner long time ago." he an
nounced. "Mis' May said for me
to come find yo' all. Ah'se been
all aroun'."
"Why, are you sure?" Peggy
asked in surprise. eve didn't hear
any gong"
''No'm, All reckon not. But it's
done rang. An 20 can sho' hear
dat gong when dey rings it, way
off. Eff yo' mine amt wand'rin'."
Stanley chuckled and threw the
boy a piece of silver that made
the little darkey's face shine like
polished ebony. Peggy ran through
the path of the rose garden with
Stanley close behind her. The
others were still on the back ter
race waiting for them.
I'm sorry" they both began,
breathlessly.
peggy must, have told you a
lot" Maxine said, with mis-
chievous smile.
"She did," Stanley assured her.
tsI found out a number of things
that encourage me immensely"
ooh" said Mrs. Horton, in sat
isfaction that her granddaughter
had been of some help.
"Oh!" queried Maxine in a tone
that implied "Now what?"
"Oh!" came Nancy's startled
tone, and
"Oh!" exclaimed Peggy.
While they were at the table
Mrs. Horton suggested that she
thought it would be much better
if Mr.. Newton would remain at
the house while he was looking
for the ring.
"I'll have William drive into
town this afternoon and get your
bags, if that arrangement suits
you," she suggested to her guest.
"You are most kind, Mrs. Hor-
ton. can't tell you what it would
mean to me to stay here for day
or two. l believe, however, 1t
would be better for me to go into
town and get my things myself.
l am afraid I have things pretty
much scattered about my room,
and as have my car it won't take
me long. I shall be back very
shortly"
Maxine and Peggy had ex-
changed surprised glances at Mrs.
Horizons invitation to Stanley.
Gran was always hospitable, but
she did not ask people to visit in
her home unless she genuinely
liked them, and counted them her
friends.
What do you want to do this
afternoon, Nancy?" Peggy asked
guiltily. She had forgotten all
about having a guest whom she
must keep entertained. Shall we
go for driver"
NO." Nancy replied. "To tell
you the truth, Pidge is coming"
"Pidge?" Mrs. Horton asked.
eyes, that's the man I am going
to marry"
well, it seems to me that we
must all get busy and find your
ring. We can't have you meeting
your fiance without your ring.
Don't stay long in town, will you,
Mr.. Newton?"

Maxine and Peggy exchanged
worried chances, and Nancy mere
ly smiled.

when he'll come. You don't mind,

"Why of course not. Do what
ever you like" Peggy told her,
! Maxine followed Peggy on to
the terrace, while Gran went up
stairs for little rest. Stanley had
already driven off to town. Il
wish we could have found that
ring before this Pidge person
comes. He will arrige bringing
Nancy her ring, and how will we
look then? I think Nancy only
told him to come today to put you
on the spot"
ooh, dear, I wish so too" Peg
gy cried desperately. She didn't
tell Maxine of Stanley's hope to
have it by late afternoon. That
did not seem very promising now
Why hadn't he waited until later
to go in town for his bags, and
stayed here and looked for the
ring? That ring is hoodoo, she
thought. First I bend it, then
maxine, I'm going into town
Never mind why. I'll be back
soon." She ran to the kitchen to
tell William to get her the pony
cart, and in few minutes was
driving rapidly down the road to-
ward town with her hopes run
ming very high.
But she returned home an hour
and a half later more in the
depths than ever. The ring that
she had suddenly remembered Mr.
Carver was making like Harry's
had already been sold when she
reached Marshville.
81 wanted to see the ring you
were making" she had told the
old man.
"Well now, Miss Peggy, that's
mighty sweet Of you to be that
interested, and I wish you could
have seen it. But it's sold already
I worked right straight through
on that ring from the time I start
ed on it yesterday. Jim said I was
crazy. He wanted me to take my
time at it. But once get started
to work on a thing like that, I've
just got to keep going and get il
finished. And it certainly was q
beauty. AS much like that ring OF
your friends as two peas in a pod

standing here admiring it, when
in comes a young man and buys
it right off. Some girl surely is
going to be happy to have that
ring"
| She had been so sure she had
found a way out that to discover
she was too late was about the
last straw. Why on earth hadn't
she thought of it sooner?
"Where is everyone?" sh e
asked Maxine on her return.
Nancy is still upstairs. Gran
came down about the time STAN
ley returned and he asked her if
he might talk to her They have
been shut up in the parlor ever
since"

like him, Maxine. I was awfully
surprised, weren't you? Gran and
