I suppose I must cast modesty o
the winds and describe my match with
Frederick J. Wright. Jr.. of Boston,
who was the sole survivor of the thir
teen American entrants, as it was the
match of the morning and we had at
the end of it goodness kiiows how
many people to look at us. It was ?lr
hard a match as ever I played and
certainly a most surprising way of
getting out of a bad predicament. On
the way out Wright played beautifully
-powerful golf. Certainly he holed no
long putts, but he did everything else
splendidly, and hie playing was with
ease and confidence. I. on the con
trary. was playing very feebly, in
deed. topping tee shots and doing other
foolish things and being generally
made to look very third rate. Indeed. I
was luckv to be only 3 down.
The crisis. I think, arrived at the
tenth hole. Wright had all the best of
it. but could not quite win It. Then came
a sudden transformation. He made a
I slip at the eleventh and twelfth and I
managed to take advantage of It and
get him down to 1. He got two hard
halves at the thirteenth and fourteenth,
but a bad slice from the tee lost nlm the
fifteenth, and we were ell square. 'Then
It was my turn to get a hard half and
we faced the seventeenth still all eve".
