joyed a rest from golf to-day, but both
are due to start early tomorrow morn

title.
Chick" Evans came through tie sec
ond round to-day. but he had 10 work
all the way against young Bretherton,
who. although always having a little
the worst of the argument. refused to
crack Chick" had to hole an eight
foot putt on the seventeenth green to
win the match. and as you know. these
final efforts on the putting green are
not exactly his forte.

Evans PLAYED quite well to-day. hit
ting the ball a long way and playing
his short approaches crisply and firmly.
He seems to have slightly changed lis
stvle since / saw him play at Chicago
in 49l3, as in the backward swing he
is taking the club up much more verti-
caIy than he used to and there is n
marked snap in the swing. Judging
. by his play to-day. it has added TO the
length Of his tee shots. but l cannot
say that ] think that II is an improve
ment. as his swing would appear to
have lost a certain degree of its old
time rhythm and he is not so pleasing

But there was not much fault TO be
found with his game. which was quite

he missed one or two puts he certain

he holed quite number which he
might readily have missed, particularly
the one on the seventeenth green. He
appeared to have his temperament well
in control and never exhibited the
slightest sign Of breaking down. He
must meet tomorrow w. II. Scott,
man who can play beautiful golf, but
on the other hand. a man who is
highly strung individual and who can

hard.
Ouimet will play young Tubbs, to

survives. which everybody seems TO
anticipate. he will probably have to
meet +. Worth, who is an American boy
resident in this country and VINO on
occasions plays brilliantly.
Fraser Hale departed from the tour
nament to-day, being beaten by Two
i. Whjtton, the young Australian cham
MON. who. in the past two years, has
defeated all the Australian profession
ais. Hale should have taken the match
further than he actually did, as ne
missed two great chances on the
eleventh and twelfth green's. Had he
united well on these greens he would
have squared the match, but as II was
he was two down there, and from that
