AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP.

Disappointment.

GLENVIEW GOLF COURSE, Golf ILL.,,
July 15-Promptly at o'clock this morn
Ing n. r. Roberts of the Springfield Golf
Club and Allen Hibbard of Milwaukee
drove from the first tee of the Glenview
course, formally opening the annual contest
for the amateur golf championship. AT in
tervals of six minutes thereafter players
were sent out in pairs over the course, but
it will be late this afternoon before the last
aspirants for championship honors are
called to play. The list of contestants
though one of the longest ever entered in
the amateur championship struggle, does
not include some of the more noted golfers
who have been prominent in past years
notable exceptions being former champions
Finley S. Douglas and Charles B. Mac
Donald. The sudden Hines of Many" Ho-
labird, the brilliant young Genview golfer
who has been stricken with typhoid fever,
has materially lesSened the chances of the
championship coming west, as Holabird
had been showing such beautiful form in
recent practice that his chances of at least
reaching the finals were considered very
bright.
Typhoid has also taken Bruce Smith of
Onwentsia, Holabirds schoolmate, out of
the lists. Walter Egan of Lake Geneva,
last years runner-up, his cousin Chandler
Egan and Abram Poole, jr., of Glenview,
all young but brilliant players are consid-
cred the most likely of the western players.
Few doubt present Champion Travis
ability to reach the finals, though the limit
Of eighteen holes match play in the con-
tests up to the semi-finals may prove dis
astrCus to the champion in a game with
some of the young players OF his ability
to go the distance in trying 36-hole match,
however. there is no question, and If Travis
is beaten it is the general opinion that it
must be done before the semi-fnals are
reached on Friday.
OF the players starting today, those turn
to- ,ix-t,- xr-iII
qualify for the match play beginning to-
morrow. This is twice the usual number.
In former championship contests, disaster
has overtaken many high-class players in
the qualifying round and the high num-
Der of qualifiers was decided on to avoid
this as much as possible.
The heavy rain last night apparently had
little effect the superby kept course. The
was blistering hot this morning with
but little breeze stirring, and even the early
players on the course found conditions very
favorable. 1t was believed that scores of 92
and even higher would qualify over the
heightened eighteen-hole course, and that
IS or 20 would carry off the gold medal for
the lowest qualifying score.
Clock-like precision obtained in carrying
out the program, the players driving off
at their scheduled moment and making the
rounds in exceedingly good time. A gal
lery of 800 followed Champion Travis and
Walter B. Smith of Onwentsia. Neither
made especially good drives, but Travis
A number of other players also attracted
small galleries.
