EL PASO, Tex, January 23.—A sen- sational recovery on the ‘ast hole in the second annual El Paso open golf tour- ! nament brought victory by a single stroke to Larry Nabholtz, unattached professional from Cleveland. Nabholtz, whose long drives have aided to keep him in the money in keen competition for four years, finished the 72 holes over the El Paso Country Club {in 293 strokes, 1 over par. Starting Saturday with consistent golf, he turned in a pair of 73s for the first 36 holes and came back yesterday with a 72 {and a 73 to beat out Macdonald Smith lof New York, who needed 294. | sending the ball well down the fair- way on the eighteenth hole on the final { round. Nabholtz apparently had eluded {the bad luck attending the first part | of the final round, but it rolled behind | a tree and then into a trap near the green. He elected an explosion shot. | The ball rimmed the cup and rolled on 12 feet. A perfect putt give him a | 3 and first prize of $1,000. Smith, who won the Los Angeles and Palos Verdes opens in the recent series of California tournaments, was playing under the handicap of a 74 and a 75 in Saturday’s opening rounds, after he made a record 66 in practice. He r covered in the final flight with a 72 | and a 73. He received $700. | Four veterans finished in a tie for | third place, with 295.

B. KEELER. It was back in 1914, and Chick Evans, after a pleasant and evi- dently beneficial visit in Atlanta, where he played a lot of golf in preparation for the British ama- teur champlonship—taking advan- tage of the early Dixie Spring— was overseas in the great amateur classic, played that year at the Royal St. George's Club, S8andwich. Chilck was then 24 years old, I be- lieve, and he was going great guns.e Indeed, he was the leading favorite to win, as the competition got un- der way and he began smacking his opponents off neatly, in the 18- hole matches which our British cousins insist are long enough for champlonship play—until they get to the final match. And then came along a little, wiry, ruddy Scot with a strong burr in 'his speech and a very decent game, though nothing, the wise ones fancied, to interrupt the course of Chick’s triumphal progress. Well, well—when 1 was in Britain in 1926, with the American Walker Cup team, the first place the boys went to practice, the morning after reaching London, was Walter Heath, the great, bleak, gorse-trimmed course where James Braid holds forth. B Several British sport writers were at Waltor. Heath, and on being in- troduced to one of them something caught in a remote convolution of memory, and when he had joined another group I asked Fred Pignon if it were possible that hé—the wiry little Scot I had just met— could be . .2 “Precisely.” said Fred. “But he’s a bit sensitive about it. He says he doesn’t altogether care for being famous as the man who beat Chick Evans. Yes, that's Charley MacFarlane.” Now. & number of persons have defeated the great Chick hither and yon about the world. But until last Summer, at Minikahda, I do not recall that any one ever went quite so fast against him in the opening burst of nine holes. And even the astonishing rush of Bobby Jones. going out in 31 in that first round at Minikahda. cannot be re- garded as quite so calamitous as the punishment administered at Sandwich, so many years ago, by this quiet little Scot. You see. the Minikahda match was at 36 holes, which left Chick a chance to re- But the British match was 18 holes. And Chick Evans, playing superb golf, traveled the first nine holes exactly in par—and he was 5 down! Charley MacFarlane, with a bad 6 on a par 4 hole, was out in 31 strokes. Years after I asked Chick what he thought about as he stood on the tenth tee. Chick grinned remi- niscently. “I looked out over the blue At- lantic,” he saids “and I thought about home, sweet home!” Last year I asked Charley Mac- Farlane what he thought about at the same juncture. Charley became ruddier than ever. “Ah, well” he parried, “it just happened to be my day." MANDELL READY T0 FIGHT.
