ONE POOR PUT
LOST EAGLE MATCH
Champion Amateur Golfer Lost Yester-
day Afternoon to George S,
Lyon Of Toronto,
Canada

Englewood, N. n, July 13.--George
$. Lyon Of Toronto. Canada, put III.
Chandler Egan Of Chicago out Of the
amateur golf championship in the see.
ond round of match play on the Engle-
wood golf clubs course yesterday. Egan
was fighting hard to retain the cham
pionship title, which he had cleverly
won and held during the last two years,
but Lyon led him almost every inch of
the way, and finally won out on the
twentieth hole.
There have been many upsets in this
years championship tournament, but the
defeat Of the champion by the Canadian
player was the greatest surprise OF all.
Two years ago.. however, Lyon and
Egan met. in the final of the Olympic
championship golf contest at St Louis
and then the Canadian beat the Chiea,
goan by three up and two To play.
Egan played poorly yesterday after
noon and by missing a seemingly easy
put on the home hole lost the match
after he was one up at the 17th hole,
where by good work Lyon should have
had half.
Both players drove the home green,
Lyon then having treachefous APP
proach put to make. Egan trimmed the
cup on his third shot, while Lyon got
down in three, making tie They
halyed the 10th hole in fours and Lyon
won out with well played four on the
twentieth green.
Egan, who was four down at one
stage Of the game, played good golf,
coming in, but his work on the putting
greens was not. up to his usual mark
and this defeat robbed him Of the chance
20 make q record as triple winner.
The defeat of the champion was not
the only feature Of the days play, how
ever, az Walter j. Travis, the former
American and British amateur cham
pion, made new amateur record Of "A
for the re-arranged course.

Over Dispute Ia Local Gran
ite Industry
HOPE FOR SETTLEMENT
Manufacturers Decide to Turn the Mat
ter Over to Their National Body
Macchi's Men Still
N Out.

The difficulty between the granite
manufacturers and tho cutters, which
Was brought To head by the action of
the 2. Macchi company's employees in
leaving that she'd because member of
the firm, Eho had not been member
of the union, operated surface-cuttipg
machine, II still unsettled. Strong EFT
forts are being made, however, to reach
an agreement A conference between
committees Of the two bodies ycster-
day afternoon produced no definite re-
suits, and the manufacturers decided to
turn the matter over to their national
association.
The committees OF the two orgaHiza-
lions met in the rooms of the manufac-
tHrers yesterday afternoon ut half past
one o'clock and discussed the difficulties
in d friendly way Arbitration was
considered and then the proposition was
advanced by the manufacturers that the
dispute 90 to the national bodies, With
the laen to resume work at the Macchi
shed and the member Of the firm to
continue ON the surface mean
while. This did not strike the cutters
committee fayorably. Adjournment was
taken for supper and the committees
came together again at seven o'clock.
On the resumption Of the conference
in the evening the matter was threshed
out again and by the time the manufac-
turcrs meeting was called things had
not taken definite shape. So altogether
there was not a satisfactory ending.
Both committees, however, agreed 70
hold themselves in readiness for call
for another conference. For time, at
any rate, there is no likelihood OF the
difficulty involving the entire granite
industry Of the city. The employees of
the Macchi shed are still out today,
and unless tentative agreement is
made, they viii probably remain out
until the matter is finally adjusted.
