Il will be seen from these cards that
Sawyer was only over As for 81 holes,
by all odds the steadiest golf that has
been shown through the entire toUrna-
ment Outside Of one break from the
seventeenth. in the forenoon to the
fourth in the afternoon, Evans main
tanned the same clip; but one break
was all that Sawyer looked for. The
grim determination with which he
started and finished showed that he
was out to avenge past years, and he
made his margin as much up IN thls
one match as Chick had piled up
against him in their three former
meetings.
No other favorite fell by the way
side. Jerome Travers and Francis
Ouimet merely romped home. Jerry
caught George Crump, Of Philadelphia,
badly off his normal game and won by
the wide margin Of Il up and Is to
play. Jerry was playing steadily. re-
turning a rs in the forenoon without
being forced. 1t was the freak Of fate
that Trayers in the morning with 10
was II up, while Evans with "A was
2 down.
Ouimet had no trouble with W. II .
Gardiner. Of Buffalo, playing good
steady golf and winning by the wide
margin of and 7. He is almost sure
to 20 to the final, although he will
have a harder battle to-day against
James D. Standish, jr, who viii be
fighting on his home course. Standish
proved on Tuesday that he, too, IS TO
be reckoned with as a hard fighter by
eliminating W. c. Fownes at the thir-
tv-seventh hole. sinking ID foot putt
for a win when FOwnes had a footer
for a 4. This match was the hardest
prapple Of the day, as both moved
along at q steady, consistent pace and
refused to be shaken off.
Nelson Whitney continued his fine
work by dropping Dave Heron by an
easv margin and the New Orleans
golfer. playing as he IS, is now picked
bv many to meet Ouimet in Friday
semi-fnal. Whitney is a long hitter
and ability to get distance Is a big
factor here. Next to the Sawyer-Evan
match and the Standish-Fownes finish
the feature Of the day was the hurrl-
cane swiping contest between Man
Narston. Of New York, and Jesse Gull
ford. of Boston.
Guilford. the longest hitter OF them
