OSING ont Leo Diegel of New N on the last green of their 36-h try Club vesterday, when both halved the match, Robert T champion, and Tommy Armour, the Jones, i their winning record in one of the matches ever played around the Capi Jones and Armour won by 1 up, but their margin of hardly have tipped the most delicat was no difference between the winnir bers of the quartet vied in making York and Fred Mcl.eod of Columbia ole match at the Congressional Coun- h missed short putts that would have r., of Atlanta, national amatcur golf Congressional professional, preserved most speceacular and brilliant golf tal. e of scales.

They came to the last hole in the afternoon all even again after a series of spectacular performances that kept the gallery on tip-toe all through the final nine. The chance of Jones and Armour inoked slim, indeed. for Diegel's tee| shat reached the edge of the green| 273 vards away, while Jones pushed| x shot far to the right, and Armour < under the hill short of the green, Iving with McLeod, who had been outdriven all day | Armour played a magnificent pitch to within 3 feet of the hole and Jones' pitch left him 25 feet aw McLeod pitched up to within 6 feet. Then it came Diegel's turn to make the shot that might win the match. IHis putt for a stopped 30 inches short of the hole. Ile stepped up, putted first and missed. Bob Jones putted and missed. And that left Fred MeLeod with a 6-footer for a 3. for with Armour on the high side the cup he was almost certain to hole. Freddy settled down (he had heen putting magnificently all day)| and allowing for a slight break te| the left, his ball lipped the cup and| rtaved out Armour stroked hi= ball| into the hole and the amateur cham pion and his professional partner had won another golf match—one of the few in more than 40 such contests when they literally had their backs to the wall. Fred McLeod, whom many thought would be at a disadvantage on the long Congressional course, was the ontstanding player of the day, scor- Ing 147 for the double circult of the course, chipping and putting with un evring skill and proving the mainstay of his team. Diegel was sadly off his zame, revealing only flashes of the =kill that has made him famous on 1wo continents. Jones scored 119 made up of a 72 and a 77. the same score as that of Armour. his partner whose cards were 74 and 75. Diegel total of had cards of 76 and 78 for # 154, To show the brand of plaved, the best bail { the quartet in the morning was 65, while in the ifternoon they” shaded this mark by two shots. Birdies and sometimes sagles were needed to win holes. Pars Scored Only Twice. Only twice during the day was a hole won with par, on the seventeenth of the morning, when Armour won with a 4, with Diegel taking three puits. and the ninth of the afternoon round, where it hecame Bob Jones' turn to take three putts. Two eagle were scored during the day, both com. | ing the 462-yard eighth, where | Jones sank a 60.fonter in the morning for a 3 and Armour rolled down a 25 footer for a like figure in the after golf they on | noan Jones was very disappointing 1o M- Ieod on two occasions, for on the fourteenth in the morning the ama teur title hoider chipped in from 20 vards away for a_birdie 3, with the Columbia pro’s ball lying but 33 feet away, and on the seventeenth of the afternoon round, with the match all square and Freddy with a birdie 3 wlready tucked away, Jones rolled in a 10-footer for a half. Although Jones won the first hole of the afternoon match to put his side 2 up, Diegel annexed the second with a birdie 3 and McLeod squared with another birdie 3 at the fourth. But Armour got the only 4 on the seventh and rang up an eage at the eighth to n put his side 2 np, only 10 have 1 Mcleod annex the ninth with a Thev halved the tenth and éleventh, and again Diegel and Mc l.eod squared the match, both secur inz hirdie 4s at the long twelfth, The thirteenth. fonrteenth teenth were halved. while ten creaged both among the player the galler: they came tn whort sixteenth still all square. Here, If ever, something was bound to | happen, for the sixteenth probably i< the hardest one.shot hole around Washinzton. Tt happened, but it didn’t break the tie, for Diegel ran down a 35-foot putt for a birdie 2, and Tom Armour sank one of 20 feet for a half. Still square going to the seven- teenth, Ired McLeod and Jones lay almost equidistant from the hole afi- er their second shots. So close were thay that the distance had to be measured. McLeod was away and holed hiz putt. .Jones nonchalantly rolled his in for a half. So they went to the eighteenth atill all square. A magnificent golf match, that could not have been closer or hetter contested, was lost bacause a 30-inch putt hit the edge of the cup and hopped out. Some will say that Leo should not have putted | first. But that is the custom of Me. Tend and Diegel ‘when they play in | hest hall matches first, knowing that McLeod is a surer | putter than he. Rut still had Leo, faken a bit more time with his 30-inch putt he would probably net have missed. And no man ever felt worse about missing a putt than the Ca- nadian open champion. He was a true picture of remorse as he sat in | the locker room. commiserating with Fred MeLeod. Jones left last night for New York, where he will join the members of the Walker Cup team today and at- tend a dinner given by the United States Golf Asociation tonight. T team sails tomorrow for England. Al- bert R MacKenzie. Donald Woodward, Roland R. MacKenzie and McLeod are the Washington players making the trip.
