For this occasion he resurrected his old patter modelled strictly on Bobby Jones' famous "Calamity Jane,” to the three bands of whipping on the shaft. It was this same putter that won Perry the Open Championship at Muirfield. In view of its present bo- havious I cannot for the life of me imagine why he ever discarded the club.

Not all the thunder was Perry's. Colton atole some of it with a mira- culous round of 64, which beat Re- ginald Whitcombe's record by two shots. Cotton's 64-18 strokes under the scratch score-came as near to the perfect round as anyhing ever can be. [› "That's the nearest. I have ever been to a round in the 50's," said Cotton. Indeed he might well have had a 59 had five long putts dropped instead of balancing on the last blade of grass. · While, no doubt, a very tantalising ex- perience, one must take the rough with : the smooth, and Cotton cannot plain that fortune forsook him......

GLORIOUS EXHIBITION

Though taking only 29 putts in what in every respect was one of the most glorious exhibitions of scientific hit- ting and ball control ever witnessed, some of them could scarcely be termed putts, as a casual tap was all that was necossary.

Of Cotton's many great drives, the one at the dog-legged 18th, which measured 275 yards, and perfectly placed, was the best. In a talk had with him about driving, he said, "My advice to the ordinary golfer is swing slowly and with rhythm, and hit hard." That is Cotton's secret for long driving.

ASTONISHING PUTTING

In the final round Porry continued his astonishing display of putting, only 12 putts being taken in the last nine holes. Towards the and a touch of hook began to creep into his wooden club shots. Wanting a couple of 4's for a 66, he hooked a brassle shot at the 17th out of bounds the ball being caught up in wire netting. This was B6

At the 18th Perry half-smoothered both his drive and a brassie shot, and he had to be content with a 5.
