Olympic Cup Composition
On the Saturday preceding the cham-s

cup will be held. under the auspices OF;
the Western Golf Association. It is at
thirty -six-hole medal play, for teams OF
four representing any recognized sec-i
tional association in the world. It has.
been an annual contest since representa-
tives of the Western Association won It.
at the Worlds fair in st. Louis in 1904.
The western amateur championship as:
the Homewood Country Club last week
proved disastrous for Chicago players
who have been regarded as national
championship possibilities. Warren
Wood, after a brilliant score of 73-13-148
in the qualifying round. faded away in
the match rounds as he did last year.
Kenneth Edwards. too, fell by the way
side, as did Mason Phelps, d. T. Sawyer
and the brothers Robert and Paul Hun
ter. In great measure 1T is gratifying,
to see youngster OF eighteen summers.
like Chick" Evans successful 1t, how
ever, scarcely rebounds to the credit of
such seasoned men as Messrs. Wood
who failed to qualify In last years ma
tional-Phelps and Edwards failing to
reach final fought out by youngsters

ship was first held in 1893. Chandler
Egan has been big outstanding figure.
His first appearance was in 1901. ands
since then he has twice led in the quail
flying round. has four times won the title
and has been runner-up once. And I'M
realizing the true worth of this record its
brilliancy Is enhanced by the fact that
he did not play in 1905. 1908 or this year..
Wednesday there will be an eighteen
hole qualifying round on the links of the
Dyker Meadow Golf Club for a cup pre-
sented by members OF the Marine and
Field Club. The competition will be fol-
lowed by a dinner at the Marine and,

force by the Dyker Meadow contingent.

 Nell was the aggressor throughout and he forced Attell to break ground time and time again. His punches lacked their old time force. however. and in only two rounds did he appear to have any chance with the brother of the featherweight champion. Attell had everything. He peppered Neil's nose and mouth with straight lefts. brought over crushing rights on the jaw and occasionally rapped Neil in the mid section with a solid right or left.
 The knock-o in the eighteenth had been only a postponed affair from the preceding round when the gong saved Neil from defeat Neil came out of his corner in this round at a trot, but he was stopped promptly with straight left on the face. He staggered around the ring with Attell following him and
