the record OF 26S he set in the
1887 Michigan Open at Jackson.
Closing rounds in SO and 81, fol.
lowing 81 and Sc the first two
days, gave him 269-15 under par
and the championship by nine
strokes.
DEMARET, wATROUs NEXT
Jimmy Demaret of Plum Hol-
low, finding himself at last, fin
lished brilliantly in Sc and SO to
vault into a tie for second with AL
Watrous of Oakland Hills. Wat.
rous, continuing his fine golf, had
10 and 90.
Pvt. Ronnie Williams of Fort
Custer, in leading the amateurs.
finished only stroke back OF
lWatrous and Demaret. Ronnie
came through with 50 and 20 yes

Harbert's misadventure on the
ninth. a 333-yarder which the golf
ing fellows refer to as a birdie
hole. caused the only 6 he had in
four rounds. Also, it was the only
time he went two over on one hole.
Two under there on the final
round, he got away typical Har-
bert drive. The ball stopped green
thigh, leaving him a pitch of not
more than so yards. 1t was a
great chance to pick up another
stroke, but as so often happens in
such cases, ne played the shot too
finely and the ball dropped short
| and into the trap.
TROUBLES PILE UP
He was so close to the green he
could have reached out and
touched it. so he still was count-
ing on a good explosion and q par.
But he found the ball against the
edge Of the trap. in a position
where he couldn't swing toward
the green. and had to whack it
back to the fairway. His short
: pitch wasn't close enough and he
needed two puts.
! Learning later Of Harbert's ex-
perience, Watrous cracked:
THAT gives me an idea. Here
after he ought to make Chick
play one stroke backwards ON
every other hole to even mat
4 ters."
Harbert's troubles didn't end
