Mass, reached the third round OF
the British Amateur championship
today by defeating Smiley Quick
Of Los Angeles, his Walker Cup
teammate, 8 and 2, after having
been one down at the turn.
The Bishop Quick match was the
feature battle Of the day although
such American veterans as Marvin
(Bud) Ward, Willie Turnesa, Dick
Chapman and Frank Stranahan
also advanced. In addition, Charles
Jennings, q staff sergeant. In the
American Army Of Occupation In
Germany, won his second-round

who was an alternate on the cup
squad, outclassed G. G. Griffith of
England, 7 and 5.
Leonard Martin, Rye IN. "
broker, reached the second round
by beating E. B. Millward Of Eng
land on the 10Th hole.
Quick, the National Public Links
champion, missed three-foot putt
on the 10th green that would have
kept the match alive. After ex-
tending hasty congratulations to the
lanky Bishop, he stalked angrily
to a nearby fence post and banged
away at 1t with his putter, cracking
the club near the head. He then
broke 1t squarely in two.
Quick Leads at End Of Q.
Bishop beat Quick in the final OF
the American Amateur Champion
ship at Baltusrol last summer,
nosing him out on the 37th green.
Out in 80, over par, Quick held
a 1-up lead at the turn today,
but lost 1t in hurry as Bishop
won both the 10th and 18th holes
with a birdie and a par. Bishops
brilliant putting was the deciding
factor.
He went 1-up on the 18th after a
nice shot out Of the rough, increased
his advantage to Cup on the 18th
when Quick slipped over par and
nailed down his victory on the $50
yard 18th with his par 8.
Ward made quick work Of Ray

lead at the turn and closing it out,
and 4. The former American am
ateur champion holed a 10-foot putt
for birdie on the 168-yard 18th
hole.
Turnesa 4-Putts 14th.
Turnesa shot wobbly 38-40-78,
but managed to score 1-up victory
over Count John de Bendern, the
former John de Forrest, who won
the British Amateur in 1882. Among
other lapses, Turnesa took 4 puts
on the 14th hole.

Walker Cuppers to tee off today,
opened his drive for the title with
a 4-and-3 second-round victory over
w. J. B. Girardet of England. He
drew q bye through yesterdays first
round. Both Chapman and Girardet
played mediocre golf. Chapman
scared to Al on the out nine. but
it was good enough to put him s.
up, and he won easily as his op-
ponent fioundered all over the place.
Stranahan scored an easy triumph
over Donald Cameron of Scotland,
and 4. In rare form, the hard
hitting Toledo golfer blazed out in
81, despite a on the sixth hole,
and for the five holes needed to
close out Cameron on the back nine
he was two strokes under par.
Jennings Rallies.
Jennings defeated Ronald Easson
of Scotland, 2 and l. Easson, a
miner, held a 2-up lead at the turn,
but Jennings put on blazing
stretch drive to square 1t up at the
18th and win out.

Francis Ouimet in his youth, was
ousted by e. D. Hamilton, a former
Scottish amateur champion, 4 and 8.
