ONWENTSIA CLUB GOLF GROUNDS,
Lake Forest, Ill, July 5.-Only one
Western man now remains to battle for
the amateur golf championship in the
tournament at Onwentsia To-day's
game saw the downfall of four out of
five Westerners, who were successful in
yesterdays match games. Walter Fair
banks of the Overland Park Club of Den
yer was vanquished by II. p. Toler Of the
.Balturol Golf Club; d. r. Forgan went
down before the prowess of Champion
Findlay S. Douglass; William Holabird
Jr, the sixteen -year-old player of the
Glenview Golf Club of Chicago, was

Donald of the Chicago Golf Club, while
Walter b. Smith of the Onwentsia Club,
runner-up in last years tournament of
the Morris County Course. was defeated
after a hard struggle by J. G. Thorp of
the Oakley Country Club of Cambridge,
Mass. The playing of Mr.. Douglass was
prominently the feature of the day.
The biggest surprise of the day was the
defeat of Walter b. Smith, last years
runner-up, by J. G. Thorp. Mr.. Thorp,
Shnnecock Hills in 1896, displayed par
ticularly good form during this tourna-
ment, but Smith had been doing such
good work that he was picked to win over
his Eastern opponents by majority of
the golfers present.
Judging from the attendance at the play
during the afternoon it is probable that
