WHITTEMORE AND HAGAN LEAD
One hundred and forty placed Profes
sional Walter Hagan of Rochester, who
played with Parker W. Whittemore of
Brookline, in the lead in the amateur-professional
contest. Tied for second and
third places at one hundred and forty-one
were Thomas Macnamara of Boston and
W. II. Faust of the Buffalo Country
Club, Gilbert Nicholls of Wilmington and
Chisholm Beach of Fox Hills, f R. G.
MacDonald of Buffalo and W. E. Trues
dell of Fox Hills were fourth in one hun
dred and forty-two and Walter Fovargue
of Skokie and 0. L. Becker of Woodland
fifth in one hundred and forty-three,
t Individual scores were lost track of in
the effort to help one another, but Mac
namara went fifteen holes in fifty-six on
the afternoon round, recording a 5 on the
sixteenth and blowing up on the seven
teenth where his tee shot made a trap at
the right of the green. Failing to. re
cover on his second, Macnamara picked
up, making 4 on the eighteenth.
Allowing 4 or even 5 on the seven
teenth, the Boston professional would
have recorded G9 or 70. The record is
67, but 70 is the best this year, and Whit.
temore holds the honors, yrhe quartet of
sixty-eights was the sensational feature of
afternoon's play and which decided the
winners in two cases, afford an interest
ing basis for comparison, and they are
records which are very rarely lowered:
