Show BOOST FOR DAVIDSON HERRGN, WINNER OF NATIONAL GOLF AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP ' H A - 'If- J mns AT y f V Champion Davy Herron and Runner-Up, Bobby Jones, Writing for the New York Evening Tost, P. C. Ptilver, a conservative golf expert, slips S. Davidson Ilerron, the Oakmont boy, who won the national amateur championship, the following well-reserved bouquet: "The victory of S. Davidson Herron in the final of the national championship champion-ship at Oakmont qjice again proves that golf is a man's game. Seniors enjoy the links in their own way and juniors also have their limitations. Herron at twenty-one is stronger and outlasted Bobby Jones aged seventeen. The margin of 5 and 4, gained entirely in the afternoon, serves to further bear out that statement. "When crowded hard -after the noon intermission Jones was not equal to the task, but then it is questionable if any amateur could have accomplished what Herron did in the afternoon. Hart he been opposed to an Oulmet or an Evans, those past masters would probably have fared as badly as Jones unless they could have gained a lead in the early hours." |
