D2 s TOM'S SHOF SPOLS MATCH FOR CHAMP Eagle Jolts Harry on Links, but He Has Good Time as Manor Honors Him. I Off the golf course, Tommy is the kind of lad who wouldn’t hurt a butterfly, but on| the links he is a rampaging terror with the knack of throwing in enough subpar holes to disor- ganize the opposition. Tommy usually is in character—that is, if he wins on the golf course that is strictly according to Hoyle, as it should be if a man is better than the other fellow in. a ocompetitive game. But when Tommy upsets the apple cart by ruining the whole day for the hero of the occasion, that is another matter and one that disturbs him. Harry Pitt did not particularly care, for yes- terday was his day at Manor. Some 150- odd club members turned out to do honor to the 26-year-old man who has just won the District amateur cham- onship as the crowning glory of a hly successful golf year. And then Tommy Bones stepped in to undo all the good that had been ac- complished by the simple expedient of hitting & high-flying spoon shot to th® ninth green and holing the putt-for an eagle 3 to take some of the spotlight away from Pitt. ‘Tommy, as we said before, is a good- soul. He wouldn't do anything to take away from Harry the glory that was his on Pitt day at Manor. But ‘Tommy put all his soul and 170 pounds behind that spoon shot, and that, as far as Harry Pitt and Al Treder were concerned. was all there was to that golf match. As a starter for Pitt day, Miller Stevinson and Tommy Bones went over from Columbia to Manor to play Pitt and Treder. They halved ths first nine holes, played as th: last nine and then Pitt and Treder won the tenth and elev- enth to go 2 up, only to see Stevinson hole a brace of putts that squared the match. -And so they came to the ninth or eighteenth hole all even. And Tommy stole the spotlight with the eagle 3 that won the match for the HOMAS P. BONES of Colum- bia is a good-natured soul. He does things in whole-heart- ed fashion or not at all. His second shot ‘ay just 30 inches from the hole, and the putt for the eagl> 3 to win the +match was a cinch. And at the dinn® which closed the , Pitt, Ray P. Garrity, the club president, and Col. John Crockett, the veteran chief clerk of the Senate, all made graceful speeches. Harry Pitt's speech was a modest disclaimer of hav- done anythi that merits the adulation of his fellow men, for he de- clared that often the margin between winning and losing in a golf tourna- ment is a mere matter of an inch or so. “And I would like to tell you, gentle- men, now,” he said, “that I never have 'EMBERS of the Beaver Dam Coun- try Club are to start play tomor- Tow in the match play rounds for the club championship, with the follow- ing pairings: Champlonship fight—C.
