eighteen holes tomorrow morning, Ander-
eon had lead Of o strokes on Brown setting
out for the last round. but he lost IL by
woeful on the ninth hole due to an error
cf Judgment in part. and II WAS then up to
bin to come In at 81 to tie with Brown who
hsd already finished in 49, or to do 81 to
win out. Anderson, however, did not know
the exact state Of affairs until the thirteenth
tee. and 1t stimulated him to one OF the great
est finishes ever seen. As to the persona lily
Of the two. Anderson h much the better
known 10 our golfers. for he has been in the
first flight OF players hero since. as lad Of
10. be was beaten only stroke by Joe Lloyd
IN the open championship at Wheaton in
1897. Anderson won the title four years
later end he has been plnced every yenr
since. except 1900 He now holds the open
ulpionship OF the Western Golf Associa-
tion.
Brown was the winner Of the open cham
pioRship at Musselburgh in 1885 and three
years ago came to this country. He was not
a shining light while engaged about New
York. but since his engagement at the VOL
aston Golf Club he has kept in training and
been doing well. His play az BaltIsrol has
established that Brown is not has been.
Auchterlonie was tho only player from the
West to be prominent His play yesterday
was without dash and a great disappoint-
ment to the amateurs and professionals from
Chicago, who. until the 81 of yesterday morn
Ing. could see no one in the running but the
title holder
The course was at it's best. for the two days
Of sunshine following after many days Of rain
had the turf crisp and verdant. but the put
ting greens were uneven in quality. for some
had dried out more than others.
