The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-07-17

CHICAGO, July 16.-TWo rounds OF
eighteen holes each, match play, were
| played by the contestants for the anna
| teur golf championship at Glenview to-
| day under weather conditions that
could not have been worse. Notwith-
standing the abominable weather,
which introduced more than usual of
the element of luck in the game, there
| were but few surprises in the results
| of today's play, the golfers who, as a
rule, have shown the most consistent
form winning their way through both
morning and afternoon contests.
One result that caused considerable
comment was the defeat of A. G. Lock-
wood, the clever Bostonian, by D. p.
Fredericks, of Oil City. The latter's
victory was earned, however, his golf,
in spite Of the terrific gale that blew
nearly all day, being almost perfect.
j. G. Thorp, the Harvard professor,
was put out Of the running in the
morning by a youngster, Nathaniel
Moore, but the latter was defeated in
the afternoon play by Walter Egan,
last years runner up to Travis.
Egan Plays Good Golf.
Egan's golf was very consistent, in
fact, he is displaying greater steadi-
ness than any of the younger Western
players, and should he win tomorrow's
hard contest with G. A. Ormiston, of
Pittsburg, it is considered that he
stands an excellent chance of reaching
the finals. Ormiston's play, although
he won both of today's contests, was
far from equaling yesterdays high
standard, even taking into considera-
ton the unfavorable weather condi-
tons. Notwithstanding this, he is still
considered one of the most formidable
contestants for championship honors.
Two Interesting Matches.
Two matches that with be watched
with interest tomorrow morning will
be those between Travis and e. M.
Byers, of Pittsburg, and Dr. L. L. Har-
ban, of Columbia, and H. Chandler
Egan, of Exmoor. The latter in his
morning game today made a medal
| score of 38 for the first nine holes,
four strokes under DOGGY, and won the
match at the twelfth hole, eight strokes
under DOGGY. This score was made
while the wind was blowing a gale,
Egan showing form that has seldom
ONSAA SQooACos Lis p1cdy 1SlL OIL SOulS-
what during the afternoon under
slightly improved weather conditions,
but he held the game safe from the
start
Although Champion Travis did not
display particularly good form, either
in the morning or afternoon, yet his
play was steady enough to strengthen
| the belief that he again will win the
ohio 1o10iO
and afternoon games almost as he
pleased. This was due, in a measure,
| to the failure of his opponents to take
advantage of opportunities, but Travis
apparently held his men cheaply and
played carelessly at times.
Byers Showing Good Form.
Young Byers, Of Pittsburg, If he
shall play the golf he has done so far
| in the tournament, will, it is consider
ed, give Travis the first test he has
had and a large gallery probably will
| follow, the two around the course.
Few really good medal scores were
made today Chandler Egan's SO. Per-
| cy Pyne's and DR.. Fredericks 40 in
their afternoon games, were the best.
| Most of the medal scores ran well over
those figures.
