CHICAGO. Sept 2.-The interest Of the
golfers of this country is slowly eentering
on the links OF the Chicago Golf club at
Wheaton, ILL.,. where the fifteenth annual
national amateur golf championship will
be held beginning Monday morning.
The local golfers have been practicing
steadily on the course for some time and
many out-of-town contestants are now on
the scene. Practically every one who has
gone over the course has pronounced 1t
fast and In excellent condition.
Among the out-of-town men who arrived
today are H. c. Fownes, oakmont; A. l..
White, Brae Burn; A. NJ. Robbins, Kebo
Valley; John NJ. Ward. Garden City, and
II. r. tombstone, Myopia.
Walter J.. Travis, Garden City, has been
practicing hard at Wheaton for the last
two days and Is loud in his praise for tho
course. w. c. Fownes, jr., Oakmont, also
did some excellent work today. Kenneth
Edwards. Midlothian, made a 70 over the
course today.
H. Chandler Egan, Exmoor, former ma
tional champion, is hard at work getting
into condition. Egan has taken little part
in the local tournaments this season. but
Upon his occasional appearances has done
excellent work. The hopes Of the local men
are admittedly conferred on Egan and
Charles Evans. jr, E~dgewater, the western
champion. Evans is playing a remarkably
strong game this year, but on two occa-
sions when there was a chance for COM
parison his work has been bettered by that
of Egan. Recently Evans went over the
Chicago course in 7~S-73-146, which is the
best work that has been done on II this
year.
Kenneth F. Edwards, Midlothian; Albert
Sacked, Riverside: Paul Hunter, Midlothian;
Ralph Hoagland, Riverside, and d. f. Saw
yer, Wheaton, are among the local men
who have been playing excellent golf this
