The first appearance of Francis
Ouimet, the new amateur champion,
in this section, was not marked by
particularly brilliant golf He
showed, though, that he had class,
and now and then his playing was
sensational However, his. form as a
whole was not up to the mark. He
hooked badly at times and missed
several puts in his four-ball match

as a partner and Jerome d. Trayers
and Max Marston as opponents.
Ouimet and Low were rather hollow
victors, with UP and to play. But
if Ouimet was not there as the
saying goes, Travers, the Travers the
gallery used to rave about. was not
anywhere near there. This wonder
full golfer of other days played poorly
throughout and even his short game
was pathetic. Experts who watched
Jerry" go over the Baltusrol course
yesterday said he was Through" as
champion. He will have his bril-
liant days, of course, the experts ar
gued, but he will not be the same
Travers of old.
@
Ouimet is only a kid, but he has
the goods. 1T was his first attempt
over the difficult Baltusrol links and
an allowance may be made for his
erratic work He said afterward
that he liked the course. in that 1t
was so open and he could see what
he was doing. He said he expected
to do much better today in the Les
ley cup match over the same course.
In the match yesterday, Low was
the bright star George golfed we'll
Marston, who paired with Travers,
is a clean-cut STRIPPING of fellow
and he has a graceful style. He is
believed to be the coming man.
He has a fault of taking too much
stroke on his short shots, but he
will soon find out his mistake and
remedy it. A large gallery followed
the match. which was highly inter
esting.
Cycling fans are expressing deer

| dangerously so. He is resting com
fortably this morning, and he il
taking his illness as he takes every
thing-without complaint, without {
word. Grenda is not champion
but he is one of the most consisten
racers in the game. He has shown
rare speed, and he is a grand fellow

his share of teaming. but he never
is brutal about 1t. He spirits a Ions
way and he may see to it that hi:
friend is on. but if luck wills i
otherwise, he will take a long chanc,
and 'go'' with an enemy in hi
wake. Grenda is popular with tn,
fans because of his honest efforts
and there was many an inquiry to-
day as to how he was getting along
Everything is being done for Grends
that is possible. Messrs. Million anC
Uppercu, owners of the Velodrome
and Manager MacFarland, are at
tending to that. His doctor is &
devotee of the game and a warn

The sudden attack of Grenda ha
made 1t necessary to cancel the pur
suit race between the "Old IIoss
and Reggie Mcnamara, scheduled 70
Sunday at the Velodrome. Manage
MacFarland couldn't find a suitabl
substitute for Grenda and he wouldn'
put on a punk against Mcnamara
who promises to make all the long
distance riders step at record eli
to beat him. He has had his shar
of hard luck, and is just recoverin
from a broken collar-bone. The res
has done him good, though, and h
should show to advantage in the ope
races on Sunday A week from Sun
day II is almost certain that Nc
Namara will meet Oscar Egg In
