within seven feet of the pin, amid
tumutuous applause. Ouimet then
holed his eight~footer for 3, and Evans.
who had been putting wonderfully we'll
all the way, sunk his seven footer for a
half
You have already gathered in the de-
tails of the final hole-of Ouimet's
great recovery and his winning putt
after Chick had faltered at last on the
one shot that might have given him
another chance
Ouimet was ragged from the tee at
times, finding trouble on no less than
eight tee drives in his morning round.
But his fine iron play and his finer
putting pulled him through.
Evans Puts Strongly
Chicks putting was one of the
strongest parts of his play. He took
8 puts on only one green all day, and
on green after green was down in
putt. He got down 2 30-footers, from
ten to twelve feet away, and Z from
within six or seven feet Of the cup.
The turn that beat him was Ouimet's
unstopable dash between she first and
nlnth holes in the afternoon. He played
five of these seven holes in IS, and
four strokes, with 5 thrown in. This
was the triumphant march that tossed
Chick back and kept him fighting de-
fenslve game. He had no chance against
such golf, and it is extremely doubtful
under the conditions if any golfer in
America could have stayed any closer
than Evans did.
The most remarkable feature of
Oulmet's play is that his stomach re
fused to retain either breakfast or
lunch and the only sustenance he had
was an orange which he carried around
the course. The wonder is that he was
even able to walk the route, but it
might be added that in his best physi-
cal shape he never played grander golf
1t was one of those matches that you
Will see only once in lifetime, for
beyond the golf played there was CON
test involved that left the atmosphere
rife with the thrill of competition at
its highest form. Of these thirtv-six
holes seventeen were halved, while
Ouimet won 10 to Evans's g.
Of the thirty-six holes, Evans played
twenty-four in par or better, while
Oulmet equaled or beat par on twenty
SIX holes. Considering the conditions
and the course, this is uncanny golf
And by conditions We mean the intense
strain under which both men fought.
Mrs. Oumet in Gallery
There were two members of the gal
lery who knew more thrills than all
the others combined. One was Mrs
Ouimet, the wife of the Boston star.
The other was Mrs Evans. the mother
Of Chick. The tortures and the thrills
they knew are beyond all knowing.
The second feature match of the day
was the second battle of the Boobies
Bobby Jones, of Atlanta. and Bobby
Gardner, of Chicago. IN their first
meeting Gardner won. but TO- day the
younger Bobby got going at a fast clip

The story OF this match is the first

one but young Jones. He also romem-
bered Gardeners wonderful come back
