CHICAGO, July 1.-two rounds Of eigh-
teen holes each, match play, we're played
by the contestants for the amateur golf
championship at Glenview today under
weather conditions that could not have
been worse. There were but few surprises
today, but one result that caused consider
able comment was the defeat Of A. @. Lock-
wood. the clever Bostonian. by DR.. p. Fred
ericks Of Oil City.
The latter's victory was earned, how
ever, his golf. in spite Of the gale that
blew nearly all day, being almost perfect.
]. G. Thorpe, the Harvard professor, was
put out Of the running in the morning by
a youngster, Nathaniel Moore, but the lat
ter was defeated in the afternoon play by
Walter Egan, last years runner UP to
Travis. Egan's golf was very consistent.
In fact, he is displaying greater steadiness
than any Of the younger western players.
and should he win In tomorrow's hard
contest with @. A. ormiston of Pittsburg,
1t is considered that he stands an excel
lent chance of reaching the finals. Or
Missions play, although he won both of
today's contests, was far from ~equaling
yesterdays high standard, even taking into
consideration the unfavorable weather con-
ditions. Notwithstanding this. he is still
considered one Of the most formidable con-
t~estants for the championship honors. Two
matches that will be watched with much
interest tomorrow morning will be those
between Travis and e.. M. Byers Of Pitts
burg, and DR.. l. l. Harvan OF Columbus
and H. Chandler Egan of Exmoor. The lat
ter, in his morping game today made q
medal score of, SS 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 a form
that has seldom been equaled. His play
fell of somewhat during the afternoon
under slightly improved weather condi-
lions, but he held the game safe from the
start.
Travis Plays Steady.
Although Champion Travis did not dis
play particularly good form, either in the
morning or afternoon, yet his play was
steady enough to strengthen the belief that
he again would win the championship and
that. too, without much difficulty. He won
both morning and afternoon games almost
as he pleased. This was due, in a measure
to the failure Of his opponents to a k ad-
vantage Of opportunities, but Travis APP
p~arently held his men cheaply and played

30 far in the tournament. will, It is con-
sidered, give Travis the first test he has
had. Few really good medal scores were
made today. Chandler Egan's 3s and Percy
Pyne's and DR.. Fredericks' 30 in their aft
ernoon games were the best. Most Of the
medal scores ran we'll over those figures,
