Justice's Fine Driving

From the time that Barry and Vnderwood returned to the pavilion the morning a considerable space elapsed before any score of note was received, and at that period 'Then, however, Pettitt and Justice returned' ears of 78 dnd 75 respectively. Both had been Ju form, and in this there was a Eirious contrast. Pettitt is one of the stenchest players we have here, and while he is by no means a long driver, he shows a wonderfy! accuracy with his approaches and fis deadly on the green as a rule. His wonderful steadiness makes hia most dangerous opponent, and he. seldom goes piling up big scots. Unfortunately in the latter stages of the afternoon he seems to have shown a slight tendency to xo to]

Pieces.

On the other hand hand Justice capable of getting into the 60's 0 the 90°s as his game may happen to be. He is a terrific hitter, and when his drives go straight dow the fairway he is almost certain to follow them up with pretty iron work. When, however, they go wild, the rest of his play suffers He is a most attractive player watch, and for a tall man such a" he is, uses very small clubs, but hho his an extraordinarily graceful style. Meeting with little fortune in the morning he returned a card of 75, and followed this fin the afternoon with a 76, This latter round was a somewhat extraordinary affair. His putters was none too certain on the aponias greens, and then at the fifth be added to his trouble by topping hi drive, sonding it 20. yards. A mashie took him out of the rough, Dut then he duffed a brassie and piled up a7. To offset this he then proceeded to go in for a long series of 3's and 4's, and there was no blemish on the card thereat although he should have done better than the bogey 6 at the AMth. An interesting card was mods up as follows:—

Out—5 64.4733 43-39 Home—3 4456443 43116
