DEFEATS NEAR
OF EUGENE 7-6
Jakes Early Lead to Card
73 in Final Mrs. Wood
Retains Title by Defeat
ing Miss Anna Mae Fuson
(By Art Schoenl)
Playing against Old Man Par In
stead of his opponent, Bob Ham
mand Jr of Medford, captured the
third annual southern Oregon golf
tournament honors Monday by de
feating Dick Near, Eugene lad, 7 and
0. Mrs. D. R. Wood retained posses
sion of the women's cup she won last
year by defeating her youthful op
ponent, Anna Mae Fuson, S and 4.
Near, who played number one posi
tion of the Oregon freshman team
this spring, had a bad morning, card
ing an 80 while Hammond turned in
enough sparkling threes and fours to
total 73, one over par. In. the after
noon rounds Near started out by one
putting the first two greens for
birdie threes and missing' two more
: birdies on numbers three and four
by Inches.
The Eugene boy won only six holes
from Hammond and had to shoot
birdies on four of them to beat the
consistent driving and Iron shots of
the new champion. In the morning
round Near took a four on number
four, par five hole, only to see hie
feat bettered by a phenomenal eagle
three by Hammond.
Near Finds Trouble
After the first eighteen holes In the
morning Near stood 0 down and was
plainly not playing the game which
carried him over such tough oppon
ents as Bid MUIlgan and Les Leal of
Eugene, and Dr. R. O. BarkwlU of
Ashland.
Twice In the morning round the
former Oregon junior champion
found himself In difficult lies off
to one side of the green but pulled
himself out of holes by sinking sen
sational shots. He had to do that
to win the only two holes he man
aged to capture from Hammond In
the morning.
Hammond shot 37 the first nine,
80 the second, 37 the third, and had
three 4's on the fourth when he fin
ally downed Near. The crowd was
with the Medford golfer In the morn
ing round, but applauded Noar's rally
on the opening afternoon holes and
plainly wanted the "under-dog" to
cut down the 8-hole handicap of the
morning.
Hammond, who held the cup In
1029 and was defeated by Donald a.
Clark In the finals In 1030, played
almost perfect golf, his Iron shots to
the greens especially giving him an
advantage over Near. The loser took
40, 40, 87 on the three nines, with
four birdies, while the champion
noled two birdies and an eagle.
Mrs. Wood Consistent
Mrs.- Wood successfully defended
her title against Anna Mae Fuson by
playing consistent golf with both
woods and Irons. The high school
girt out-drove her, but the challeng
er's putting was off, which probably
cost her the cup. Mrs. Wood was ono
down at the end of the morning
round, but fine pars on numbers
three and 'our holes In the afternoon
put her ahead.
The champion disposed of Mrs. O
H. Pogle of Klamath Falls, Mrs. Del
roy Qetchel! and Miss Fuson to win
the title, while her rival fought her
way to the finals by wins over Mrs.
w. L. Qulnn of Klamath and Mrs.
Jack Thompson of Medford.
Donald 8. Clark captured the sil
ver cup In the first flight by trim-
mtng Les Leal 8 and 2. Bob Near
of Eugene was stymied by E, E, Kelly
on the sixteenth and hts putt holed
out Kelly's for him, but Near won
anyway, 8 and 3. Near was two over
par when he took Kelly's measure
after 34 holes.
Sharp Wins Cup
Dr. Paul Sharp of Klamath Falls
carried away a silver cup by defeat
ing George Phythtan In the third
flight 3 and 1. F. 8. Engle, Ashland
banker, wen the fourth flight trophy
by beating Oeorge Kennel man 4 .nd
8. Ward Beeney beat Harry Garfield
8 and 8 to win fifth flight honors,
Karl Marx defeated C. M. Kldd In
the second consolation. flight one up
on the 37th and William Vawter also
took away a silver cup by winning
from D. B, Gray, a and 1 In the third
consolation flight. Both winners and
runners-up In all men's flight were
awarded silver cups. Tom Emmens
was awarded a golf medal for low
medalist score on the qualifying
round. A. G. Prlngle of Seattle beat
Jack Blerma In the only match In
the sixth flight, 8 and 4.
Hummond and Near won their way
to the finals by wins In the semi
finals over H. S. Bentley of Ashland
and Sid Mill 1 nan of Eugene respect
ively. In the Hammond-Bentloy match
Sunday Hammond was four up on
the Ash Under on the 13th hole and
lost four out of the next five holes.
On the 10th hole Bentley missed a
heart-breaking two-foot putt by an
Inch and Hammond went Into the!
finals for the third time In tbre
years.
Second Triumph
Milllgan lost his match with Dick
Near because he could not make his
putts sink right. Near was In tlx
sand traps on the 17 holes he had
to play to beat MUIlgan. The latter
was one up at the turn when he
bird led the two last holes, but Near'i
consistent pars on the second nine
were too much for his pug-nosed
fellow Eugenean. Yesterday's win
was Hammond's second triumph over
Near as he eliminated him last year
to reach the finals.
This year's golf tournament was the
largest In the history of the com
petition si.d Jack Hue ton. pro, Is
planning even larger things for next I
year. The Reames Country club of
Klamath Palls has offered to donate
a trophy to be won by team play.

With Rod and Gun
Fishing was very poor over the
holiday, but the rain which brought
about that condition was welcomed
by sportsmen, who feel that the
storm Insures good fishing for next
month.
The rain will freshen up the river
and entice the fish In the lower
Rogue to move upward. Steelhead
fishing for October will accordingly
be better than usual.
The rain Is also welcomed by the
sportsmen who prefer the gun to the
rod. The forests have undergone
such a soaking that no doubts are
maintained regarding the opening of
the hunting season on schedule. It
rained all day Sunday at Crater Lake
and the fire hazard for the present
time la believed destroyed.
