QUITO pieces in the International
Four Ball Tournament.
Since Is two-man teams started
Sunday, contestants have accounted
for two eagles and 295 brides in 410
holes of match play.
The eagles both won holes. but on
46 occasions brides were good for
nothing better than halves.
Best averages for clipping par has
been established by the red-hot
combination of Sammy Snead OF
Hot Springs, Va, and Ralph Gull
dahl of Chicago, now favorites to
survive two more days of grueling
play and regain the trophy they won
two years ago.
1910 Winners on Game.
Snead and Guldahl have fired an
eagle and q brides in the "a holes
they needed to defeat two opponents.
The 1910 winners-Billy Burke Of

brides in 70 holes. An eagle and 20
brides were gathered by Gene Sara

Hogan of Purchase, N. Y. in 73
holes. Paul Runyan of White Plains,
N. Y, and Horton Smith Of Oak
Park, Ill, scored Is below-par holes
out Of IA played.
In the battle of brides today,
Burke and Wood opposed Sarazen
and Hogan, while Snead and Gull
dahl were paired against Runyan
and Smith.
Sarazen dropped a 30-foot putt
yesterday for an eagle 3 on the 500
yard first extra hole to defeat Leon
ard Dodson of Springfield. Mo, and
Willie Goggin of Miami after they
were all square at the end of the
regulation 36.
