Cincinnati. IN the second round OF the
mems singles.
Fottrell's speed in serving baffied the
local boy during the first set, which the
Californian captured easily at 6-l.
Hopple, however, solved this delivery
in the second set, and by being able
20 reach the net following the service
outplaced the Westerner nd won at
g.
Fottrell braced in the early stages
OF the third set. his placing being Of
the deadly accuracy variety, and Tor

be as easily defeated as he was IN the
opening set. However, the Cincinnati
player likewise braced after five games
had been registered against him. and
by some sensational work - the net

Il was then a nip and tuck struggle
until Fottrells service began 20 tell, IN

Open and Amateur Title Holder
10 Make an fS-Hole
Journey.

The Right Hon. Chick Evans will put
both goi titles upon display this after
noon, when the open and amateur
champion makes an lS-hole journey
over the hard Wykagyl course.
In the original arrangement Chick
was booked for a four-ball match with
Reggie Lewis, Val Birmingham and
Henry J. Topping. As Lewis and Ber-
mingham know the wrinkles and kinks
of the Wykagyl course exceptionally
well, they should be able 10 give the
double champ a healthy argument.
Wykagyl is a good test Of golf. Jerry
Travers came out from retirement last
Sunday for round there, and, while
playing good golf, Jerry had 70 be
content with y. He had a queer
round going out, where he had three
SIS and a and three 6s. the combina-
ton giving him 3s. II will be interest
ing to see just how many strokes Chick
can prune away from this round, as
there are many Wykagyl golfers who
are confident the champion will not
break 70.
The amateur record at Wykagyl is
now -. held jointly by Birmingham
and Travers. Evans will 60 after this
mark, but only superb golf will beat
these figures, as there are any number
Of hard holes where one can easily
run up extra strokes. Those who fol-
low Evans this afternoon will have the
prettiest iron player in the game to
watch.
