Chicago, October 5-Charles Evans, Jr.,
formerly western open and amateur
champion and medalist in the last two
national amateur golf tournaments, to-
day outplayed Edward Ray and Harry
Vardon, formerly English open cham
pions, by two and three strokes, respee-
lively in a s6-hole 4-ball match at the
Ravisloe Country club. but owing to the
fact that Warren K. Wood, western am
ateur champion, was off his game, the
Britons won the contest up.
Evans took 143 strokes for the two
rounds of the 6200-yard course, while Ray
played 145 and Vardon LAG. Wood was
stale with his wooden shots and uncer-
tain with his putter, taking 157 strokes.
The best ball score of Ray and Nardon
was 1888, only five strokes better than
Evans. Wood played best ball on only
two holes and this threw the strain OF
the contest on Evans throughout
