Eastern Open

Coming through the rain at Delaware Water Gap, Pa., last week, was the hulk of Archie Compston, British golfer. He was doing well--one under par on the last nine holes. That gave him a final card of 287 and the Eastern Open championship. Said a rain-vexed U. S. golfer, "High time an Englishman won at golf."

Al Heron of Reading, Pa., finished two strokes behind Compston. Aubrey Boomer of St. Cloud, France, who looked like a winner, blew up near the finish.
