Fownes started out late and de termined tomake a gallant try. He needed a 71 over the champ ionship course No. 2. Reaching the turn in a grand 35 he had a chance but slip-ups on a couple of easily misable putts coming home gave him a 38, a round of 73, and a grand total of 151, two strokes higher than Carter. The First Days Play Wednesday, April 4. The day was fine for golf when the six teen best qualifiers in the champ ionship strode to the first tee. The players came from the North, East, South and West with the East and North having just a wee slice more of their portion. There was little if any thought that Phil Carter would be hard pushed in his match with R. S. Stranahan, formerly of Brookline, Mass., but now a resident of Toledo. ' But the lat ter holed a very fine and I sup pose accounted lucky approach on the third hole, and went into the lead. Then on the fourth hole he did the very same thing only this time the "approach was a bit longer. That was enough to scare any man and forthwith Carter buckled down to some hard sledding. He won, of course, but not until Mr. Stran ahan had taken him to the sev enteenth green. And "Bill" Fownes, too, was not an easy conqueror in his round with Sam Graham of Grenwich. The lat ter was two up at the seventh hole and playing well. Then there was a lapse while Fownes won four straight holes. The Pittsburgh golfer never slowed down a bit on the inward jour ney making the nine holes in 34 ad winning at the sixteenth. The other matches for the most part were well played. Paul Garder came home the last nine in 34 in his match with Maxwell but strange to say he lost by 3 and 2, the explanation being that he was no fewer than five down at the end of the first nine holes. Anderson and White went the full round before the latter was declared the winner. The scor ing was low for most of the holes and the match was all square going to the last green which Anderson reached in 3. White, after a beautiful approach from a hard lie, was able to hole out in one more which won the hole. Dyer in his match with J. M. Wells scored an approximate 73 while Hunter, Beall, and Whit comb at all times had the upper hold over their opponents. Thursday, April 5. The least said about this day the better for it was far removed from the regular Pinehurst weather. Per haps there had been so much sunshine and fresh blooming flowers and green grass and leaves and all the other attri butes that go with the charm of a dependable climate that na ture decided to show that there was such a thing as a torrent and a blast and a power which would and could command great er respect for the delights of days gone by. At any rate, the majority of the matches were called off by the contestants af ter the committee had ruled rightly that those who wished could finish the next day start ing where they had chosen to finish on the Thursday. But it was a grand day for indoor golf which consists in squatting down in a chair by the fire and telling the biggest , stories of one's prowess on the links. Fownes Defeats Carter Friday, April 6. This was in deed a busy day for all the play ers in all the divisions inasmuch as 36 holes had to be played insted af the regular 18 for the winners. The great match of the day took place in the morn ing when Phillip Carter, the early favorite for the event,met W. C. Fownes, Jr., in the strug gle which seemed likely to de termine the finalist of the upper bracket. From the start Fownes played his steady and at times brilliant game. The play began at the eighth tee where Fownes had been one up the day before. High class golf prevailed from that point. Both drove well and Carter missed his 2 by a hair. At the tricky ninth hole Carter drove to within ten feet of the pin and Fownes followed with one six feet further away. The latter failed on his try for a 2 and Carter squared the match. But on the incoming nine Fownes gradually pulled away. In fact, so strong was what we might term his "golf defense" that he never lost another hole all the rest of the way and by adding one here and another there and finally by holing a forty yard ap proach on the sixteenth hole for a 3 he brought the match to a conclusion winning 3 and 2. The other affairs were not the less interesting for the want of a gallery. Maxwell, starting out with a handicap of one gained the previous day by White, play ed excellent golf and won by 3 and 2. This was his third suc cessive win over White but some day the tables will turn. Frank Dyer had little difficulty in de feating W. A. Whitcomb of Worcester who however deserves not a little credit for the fine showing he made. He was mani festly short of practice and at that played very fine golf. Hunters Great Rally Most of the players had gone into lunch when Robert Hunter and Ned Beall hove in sight. There had seemed to be no hope left for Hunter. He had been three down the day before in 'four hole's play and the last
