Neal Mclntyre retained his 1 np lead over Ralph Stonehouse In the Indiana open golf title playoff when they completed the thirteenth hole, adding a stroke on the twelfth green and losing one on the thirteenth. BY DICK MILLER For the second time in as many starts, Neal Mclntyre, big Highland sharpshooter, held a one-stroke edge over his young rival, Ralph Stonehouse of Pleasant Run, when they reached the halfway mark of their second eighteen-hole playoff for the 1931 Indiana open golf championship at Speedway today. At the same point Thursday, when the local rivals first attempted *o settle the title argument, Mclntyre held a two-stroke edge. Both vere over par today, Mclntyre requiring a 37 while Stonehouse faltered o take a 38. Tied at the end of the regulation seventy-two holes Wednesday night, with 296 strokes each, the two local stars engaged in a thrilling eighteenhole playoff Thursday morning that again found them in a deadlock, with 72 strokes each.

• Mclntyre took a one-strike lead on the first hole with his par 4 when the east side pro hooked his drive and then required two taps after getting on the green. Stonehouse duplicated Thursday’s feat when he birdied the second by sinking a fifteen-foot put while Neal required the regular 4. Ralph's Putter Fails Stonehouse’s putter failed him on the third, however, and Mac regained the lead with a par 4. Ralph overputted and then missed a fourfooter coming back, requiring a five. They halved the fourth in perfect figures, and both went over par one stroke at the fifth, which they halved. On the long sixth, both were near the green with their second shots, Stonehouse chipping up and running down a long tap for a birdie 4. Mclntyre needed the regular 5 strokes and they were even at this point, Stonehouse was over the green on the seventh, but Mclntyre putted poorly and they halved in ss, over par again. On the eighth, Mac was on in two and putted up close for an easy par 4, while his rival was short and then went past the pin, requiring a five. Get Birdies on Tenth Ralph was on the green from the tee on the ninth and down for an easy par 3, while Mclntyre was short, chipped up one foot from the pin and also got his par. On the tenth, they were on in 2 each, Stonehouse ran down a twenty-foot putt for a birdie 3, but Mclntyre came back with one from fifteen-feet to match it. Cards: Par 444 433 443—35 Mclntyre 444 445 543—37 Stonehouse 535 444 553—38 This is the second time an Indiana open has gone overtime. Chester Nelson won in an eighteen-hole playoff at Ft. Wayne in 1925. McIntyre and Stonehouse will team against Billy Burke, national open champion, and George Von Elm, runner-up, in an exhibition match at Highland Aug. 16.
