DORAN IS out OF IT
St. Paul Golfer Is Defeated by
Phelps B. Hoyt.
FEW SURPRISES AT. GLENvIEw
Arc the Principal Champion
ship Possibilities.

NJ. Doran, Jr, of the Town and Country
club, the only Minnesota golfer to qualify
IN The national tournament at Glenview,
Mas put out OF the running yesterday
afternoon by Phelps B. Hoyt. The Chi
cago man won the match one up.
Doran Won his match in the first round
with comparative ease, defeating CHS
holm Beach Of Cleveland, up and to
play. 1t Is unfortunate that he should
have been pitted against player OF the
class OF Phelps so early in the tourna-
ment, as he would undoubtedly have
made a good showing against many OF
the men entered. = p,
Two rounds of eighteen. holes each
were played yesterday, under weather
worse.
Notwithstanding the abominable wealth
er, which introduced more than usual Of
the element of luck in the game, there
were but few surprises in the results OF
the play. The golfers who, as rule,
won their way through both morning and
afternoon contests. One result that
caused considerable comment was the de-
feat of A. G. Lockwood, the clever Bos-
tonian, by DR.. D. P. Fredericks of Oil
City. The latter's victory was earned,
however, and his golf. in spite of the
terrific gale that blew all day, was al
most 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 defe ated in the
afternoon play by Walter Egan, last
years runner-up to Travis. Egan's golf
was very consistent-in fact, he is dis
playing greater steadiness than any of
the younger western nlayers, and should
he win to-morrow's hard contest with
G.. A. Ormiston Of Pittsburg it is con-
sidered that he stands an excellent chance
of reaching the finals. Ormistons play,
although he won both of to-day's con-
tests, was far from equalling Tuesdays s
high standard, even taking into consid-
GRAFTON the unfavorable weather condi-
tions. Notwithstanding this, he is still
considered one Of the most formidable
contestants for championship honors.
Two matches that were watched with
between Travis and E. NJ. Byers Of Pitts
burg, and Dr.. L. T; Harlan of Colum-
bia, and H. Chandler Egan of Exmoor.
The latter in his morning game yester-
day made a medal score Of 3S for the
first nine holes, four strokes under bogey,
and won the match at the twelfth hole,
eight strokes under bogey. This score
was made while the wind was blowing
gale, Egan showing a form that has sell
dom been equaled. His play fell off
somewhat during the afternoon under
slightly improved weather conditions, but
he held the gsSue safe from the start.
Although ChSmpion 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 will win the championship.
He won both morning and afternoon
games almost ss he, pleased. This was
due, in a measure, to the failure of his
opponents to take advantage Of oppor-
tunities, but Travis apparently held his
nd al
times. Young Byers of Pittsburg, if he
shall play the golf he has done so far in
the tournament, will it is considered,
give Travis the first test he has had and
large gallery probably will follow the
two around the course.
Few really good medal scores" were
made yesterday. Chandler Egan's 3S,
Percy Pyne's and DR.. Fredericks' 40 in
their afternoon games, were the best.
Most Of the medal scores ran we'll over
these figures.
