On the 155 yard 17th hole, a one- shotter which has no fairway at all but consists only of a tee, a green, bunkers and plenty of rough, Billie Burke, Port Chester, N Y., pro, drove to within three inches of the cup after his .opponeni, Horton Smith, Joplin, Mo., had reached the green. Smith putted and his ball knocked Burke's into the cup for an ace. ‘With the aid of this unusual hole, Burke led one up after the first 18 holes. After 18 holes Willie MacKarlane, ‘Tuckahoe, N. Y., and Glenn Spen- cer, Garrison, Md., had commanding leads of 6 up over their respective opponents, Jim Foulis, Hinsdale, IIL., and Fred McDermott, Ehelbyville, Ind.

When asked by Judge Yeomans if they had anything to say before pro- nouncement of sentence the defense attorney said there was nothing that could be said, as both boys had been found guilty by & jury. Neither one of the convicted murderers showed any sign of emotion as the sentence of “state prison for the term of your natural life,” was passed by Judge Yeomans, who had also listened to the case from the beginning.
