EVANS WINS OPEN
GOLF TITLE WITH
A RECORD SCORE
Chicago Amateur Leads
Field in National Event
by Two Strokes
J. M. BARNES is THIRD

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July IAN
amateur, Charles (Chick) Evans, Jr., of the
Edgewater Club, Chicago, four times West
ern amateur golf champion and once win
ner OF the Western open title, added the
capsheaf to his laurels yesterday by win
ming the national open golf championship
over the Minikahda links, with a total
score of 288 for the 72 holes.
Thus for the third time in four years
premier honors in the open classic have been
captured by an amateur, and this time by
the lowest score since the inception of the
championship in 1894.
The best previous score was 200, made
by George Sargent at Englewood. n. j.,
in 1909, and by Walter Hagen at the Mid
lothian Club. Chicago, in 1914 when Evans
was runner-up with 291.
Evans won the title by margin of two
strokes, for Jack Hutchinson. q Pittsburgh
professional, by clipping one stroke from
the course record of SO, set by Evans Thurs
day, turned in a card of 0S for the
afternoon round yesterday, which gave him
q total of 2SS. ]. NJ. Barnes, the Phila-
delphia professional, was third with 2s0.
Par for the course is ~. and the course reo-
ord was 10 until lowered a stroke Thurs
day by Evans. The distance of the course
Is $3.50 yards.
Evans, who is credited with holding
more course records than any other anna
teur, played consistently and in good form
today. His drives went long against a
rather stiff wind that swept the course in
the afternoon and his putting was accurate
He turned in a card of lat for the 36 holes
which, with his I39 of Thursday, brought
him victory.
He played the first nine holes of the
morning in one over par. He had diff

forced to take three puts when he had an
easy four in sight. The large gallery which
followed felt that the break had come, but
Evans recovered, and thereafter played we'll
He experienced the same trouble at the
same hole in the afternoon, taking four
puts.

when the other fellow was smiling ana
giving himself the hole.
II guess I've gone crazy" he said altar
he had beaten the two stars, but he looked
like Travis as he played one eye-opening
shot after another. He deserves all his sucs
cess as he never plays careless shot.
Neiffer Gets to Finals
Doctor NJ K Neffer was Obliged TO de-
fault In the first round of match play I'm
the championships because of a hurry call.
1t was decided to let him play in the de-
feated sixteen. He drew a default In the
first round and played in a foursome with
]. r. Mcfarland, Jr. When these two came
in at p. m they found they were paired
against each other, as both had drawn de-
faults. So they played II Off at holes.
Mcfarland laid himself a stymie in the
twilight and did everything else. He lost
the first four holes. He braced for the
finish to pull out the match but Doctor
Neiffer holed out a bird 2 on the 5th hole
and sewed up the match, and 4. He won
regular match yesterday and entered the
finals today with happy smile.
Flash, Then Stygian BlaclSness
Miracles happen in golf almost as much
as they don't happen in real life. We
could sort out dozen Of them from our
memory in no time at all, a chronicle OF all
the things that might have" happened and
did. But for seventh wonders we refer
readers to the marvel Of the recent golf of
H wellington Wood Atlantic City expert.
He had worked up to tbs climax of his
1918 for the medal at Wilmington by brill
liant shots Just before, in which ho had
hard luck on some holes that spoiled his
totals. When he turned his Delaware
dazzler some thought he had solved his
troubles and could hold the pace. But sell
dom In the annals has the crash of
hero" been more abrupt. He was just
plain swamped In that tourney by over
whelming lickngs. A OF was the best he
could get in his efforts of the first round
to qualify for the city championship. H.
wellington Wood himself is tho most
puzzled as to his sudden drop. He can
attribute Il to many things. He quotes
from Ezekiel, '"They put me in a bottom
less pit and they kept me there" which they
surely did.
We pick this one out of trio of letters
on the same line which were evoked by
the first letter to the editor, picking the
best 10 golfers" We studiously refrain

GOLF KNOWS NO AGE LIMIT
AMONG ITS GREAT GENIUSES
BY GRANTLAND RICE

There Is ono game that knotos no age,
That moves beyond Times guarding spaces,
So long as one Is youn0 at heart
And pedTrS to knotU the open places;
So long as one stil has the strength
To suing club and then to JolloW
Tho clean drift OF the Ancient Green
By stream and dale, BY hHI and holloto.
There Is ono game that turns the clock
on back to Morning through the heather;
That drives atoay the drifting years,
Where Age and Youth are one together,
Where Time Is nothing, 80 that one
May love the sun ana totHd about him,
To knoto the sky and grass are close
Where only death con- ever roHt him.
Golf is thesone game that doesn't close
its doors TO those who have passed 30.
Youth must be served in all other sports
but those who have faced Walter ]. Travis,
Bryan Heard and many others, know
Youth is not always served In golf.
A few years ago in an amateur cham
plonship there were two entries paired. One
was ca The other was IT. Both finished
among the first "a and they were but one
stroke apart. What other game could show
this evenness In a championship where the
two contestants were AZ years apart?
The Case of Travis
Walter ]. Travis took up golf around the
age of So. That age would have been, the
finishing point in nearly every other pas
time. AS a ball player. tennis player or
a boxer he would have got nowhere
But golf Is more a matter OF nerve and
mental control than II is of physical abil-
ity For Travis starting at 30. was able
to win the American amateur championship
three times and the British amateur cham

TTERE is one tip off on the compact
i i strength of the different American
League clubs more eloquent than any mas
sive bale of statistics-the Browns in sew
enth place, have been able to win nearly
half their games-to travel at a clip well
above 400. And the club in sixth place
hae been within five games of the top all
along. Further comment would be carry

an umpire be likely to sing?"
Here are few-Chopin's Funeral

We wonder what books an umpire would

many believed the Braves were going to win

Just as the Tigers were upon the verge of
having the American League race sewed up
they bumped into the Browns Whereupon
a great unravelIng process took place. We
have no doubt that we are all wrong about
It, but we have the hunch that the American
League race isn't going to be sewed up
until about the 9th or 9Th OF October.
