Gus victor. L want again to thank the

EIGHT GOLFERS ARE LEFT
THEY WILL CONTINUE FIGHT FOR
GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP.
Two Egans Defeated I'm Tournament
at Glen Cove-WaIter J.. Travis De-
feated Archibald

GLEN COVE, /. l., Sept. 3.-Only eight
for the amateur golf championship of the
United States and the result of to-morrow's
play in the tournament on the links of the
Nassau Country Club will determine the
two men who will fight out the final battle
for national honors.
The eight survivors. after a day of hard
matches and surprises. are:
Paul Murphy, Garden City; F. o. Rein

Garden City, N. j.; George 7. Brokaw,
Deal, n. j.: w. r. Tuckerman, Stock
bridge, Mass; E. M. Beyers, Allegheny,
Pa; S. d. Cady. Rock Island, ILL.,, and
Bruce d. Smith. Onwetsia, III.
The defeat of the two Egans in the
morning was a hard blow to the Westerners.
Both had been picked as semi-inals sur
vivors. 1t was plainly Walter Egan's bad
day. He sliced more than half his drives
and his putting was weak. III. &. Egan
was defeated by two holes by Alexander
c. Williams, of Philadelphia. TIL latter APP
peared to be somewhat of a dark horse.
The match was the last of the third
round TO finish and the unexpected news
that Egan was down drew a large crowd

the afternoon by Bruce d. Smith by one
hole i'm a 19-hole match.
Brokaw, in the afternoon had little
trouble beating H. c. Fownes, of P%ittsburg,
by 3 up and 2.
Walter J.. Travis defeated Archibald
Graham. the north Jersey golfer, who put

REBEL REDUCED WEIGHT
PURDUE GUARD HAS TAKEN OFF
TEN POUNDS IN CAMP.
Trainer McClafre Is Giving the Can
didates Plenty of Exercise and
Light Training.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
G. A. X. CLUBHOUSE. NEAR DELPHI,
Ind, Sept. 3.--Trainer McClaire Is giving
the Purdue football squad plenty of exer-
else, and some of the heavy weights will
look less ponderous when he gets through
with them. Most of the men who played
on the varsity eleven last year took on
weight fat) during vacation. Dutch" Rel
bel of Indianapolis, who has played right
guard for three years. is one of those who
came into camp resembling a baby ele-
plant" as one of his ocular friends put ii.
Trainer McClaire looked at the 230-pound
guard and said to himself: Plenty of bone
and muscle there. but too much fat. L
think thirty pounds off would make him
more fit" And the trainer has already re-
duced Rebels weight ten pounds. Rebel
stood the tramp of twenty miles yesterday
as well as any of the squad, which is re-
markable, considering his weight and the
fact that he carried a underground shot
gun that was loaded for bar lions or
any other big game which might have been
lurking in the wilds Of the Tippecanoe.
As stated yesterday. the members of the
squad walked to Monticello and back. They
left camp at 7:S0 a. m. and arrived in Mon
ticello at $3.50. thus making the distance of
eight and one-half miles in two hours on
the country roads. On the way back, how
ever, Trainer McClaire led them along the
banks of the Tippecanoe. The recent rains
have raised the river and have also made
the banks very Shiny and muddy. In some
places the men sank knee deep in the CRIME
and in other places the ground was so
swampy the men avoided ii by climbing the
steep banks. The course of the Tippecanoe
is anything but straight cut, and the route
taken by the trainer increased the mems
tramp somewhat. making the entire dis
lance about twenty miles. The men re-
turned to camp at 1:3D p. m. McClaire de-
cided they had had enough exercise for one
day. and the rest OF the time was spent
lounging about in the shade or swimming
in the river.
Yesterday Prof. II. P. Jamison of Purdue,
who has been both captain and coach of the
Purdue football team. visited the training
camp. He was accompanied by his brother.
C.. r.. Jamison, who is treasurer of the Pur-
due Athletic Association.

LONDON. Sept. 3.-The final defeat OF
Sir Thomas Lipton's Np challenger. Sham
rock III, was received in London with list
lessness. Most of the afternoon papers pub
lished a special edition announcing the re-
suit of the cup race, bat the announcement
had already been discounted by the dis
patches giving the progress of the race.
The consensus Is that Sir Thomas Upton
has done everything that time and money
could accomplish and widespread sympathy
for him is shown. The chief hope expressed
in The streets is that Canada will enter the
lists next year and possibly succeed where
the mother country has failed. 1t seems
improbable that another challenger will
soon be dispatched from England.
Friday mornings papers publish editorials
concentrating the United States on again
retaining the Americas cup. and compli-
menting Sir Thomas Upton on his gallant
fight. All the journals agree that the con-
tests were won by the better boat and the
cleverer skipper and crew. and admit that
there seems TO be no reason why the United
States should not retain the cup for many

Thomas CARRIER and II. ]. Angels; Theodore
Layman and Joseph McCrea; Herman
Sayles and j. w. Carroll; ID. r. Lindley
and Percy Sharpe.
The semi-finals will be for eighteen holes,
while the finals will be for thirty-six holes.
An effort will be made to nave the finals
played Monday. On account of the large
number of starters in the semi-finals some
doubt is expressed as to whether the play
ers will get through in that time.
d. r. Lindley made the amateur record
for the course yesterday when he played
the course in Is. In going out he made the
first nine holes in ~, while in returning the
next nine holes were made in SO. This
takes the record from Percy Sharpe, who
held it for two seasons. The best former
record was 81. Lindley was accompanied
in his play by j. w. Carol and Glenn
Diddle.
