Third Time in Four Years
SAWYER IS RUNNER-UP
Immense Gallery Turns Out
to Witness the Struggle
on the Wheaton Links

CHICAGO. Aug. 12.-H Chandler
Egan successfully defended his title of
national golf champion in the eleventh
annual tourney at the Chicago Golf
Clubs links to-day at Wheaton, de-
feating D. E. Sawyer of Wheaton, 6 up
to play in the finals. The Exmoor
player, who has thrice in four years
taken the measure of all western as
pirants for the Western Golf Associa-
tion title added his second victory in
the United States C. A. Havemeyer Cup
TO his great performances. Sawyer was
often brilliant in his play in the heart
breaking struggle with the champion,
but he was weak at vital times on the
putting green. Champion Egan was
steady at all times with his iron club,
although often getting discourag g
lies by his terrific tee shots in the
morning round. In the afternoon he
avoided some of this trouble by using a
cleek at the narrow places in the
course. As in the history of golf from
the beginning of the game. the cham
pionship was won and lost on the put
ting green. Egan invariably was down
in the regulation two puts when he got
10 the green. Sawyer missed several
opportunities to get holes simply by
falling down on points. Morning round

The largest gallery that ever turned out
in the West to view a golf match fol-

Weather conditions early in the day when
the flnalists appeared for the struggle
were threatening, but as soon as Sawyer
with the honors sent away a long drive
the sun burst out and provided a sultry
day for play.
Sawyer is a finished golfer, but he lacks
two great requisites that bring cham
pionships when pitted against Chandler
Egan-force, for work out of bad lies, and
deadly accuracy in not exceeding the
bogey rule of two puts to a green.
Although neither contestant played what
might be termed championship golf in the
morning, Sawyer was never UP on the
title holder, except at the second hole.
Egan gets his second L. S. G.. A. mas

trophy remains with Exmoor for a year

late Lord Iytton, when viceroy OF

There are boating and sailing
| And fishing for CRAWLING
| Where the blue waves roll nightly on
deep Galilce.
| But sweeter the places
Where aldermens braces
/ Are sold for boot laces in bonnie Dun

| The diarist ventured to doubt wheth-

on the credulity of his friends, a sus-
picion Which will be shared by most
readers.
| But, whether these lines We're dream

one of the most curious sections of the
whole subject of dream work is that
which relates to the comparative value
of work done or imagined in sleep. No
experience is more general than the
