ing the afternoon The Glencoe Ath-
letic Club was the more fortunate in
this respect, for thu Harlem River boys
pulled up in second place with Is
points They were followed by. the
Pastime Athletic Club with Is, and the
Mornngsde Athletic Club was next
with II. Winged cots flew over the
line first in a majority Of the fifteen
events, and they Also captured several
other positions.
No records were bettered, due to the
recent rain, but in a number of in
stances standards missed being broken
by inches. In the 1O0-yard dash, Frank
Conway, Morningside A. c., ran the
distance in 10 2-5 seconds, while Earle

onds. AL Hulsenbeck, erstwhile Co.
limbia runner. romped the $50 yards
IN 1902 Is, while A. Johnson, Swedish
American A c., tossed the javelin over
15S feet.
The most sensational finish of the
day came in the 44O-yard run, in which
.'erelman scampered over the finish
line barely six inches in front of Mike
Pels, a clubmate, with Harry Braver-
man, Morningside A. c., at the shout
der of the latter. Perelman set a
scorcning pace throughout the journey,
but just was able to stand off the
rush OF his two opponents in the
stretch.
Hulsenbeck had little difficulty in
defeating his opponents in the half
mile run, although he won by only two
yards. He remained behind the pace
until the final turn for home, when he
swept past two rivals as if thew were
standing still. He ran the final five
yards looking back at his tired op-
ponents. Hulsenbeck represented the
New York A. c., and in second place
came Al Helfrich, a clubmate. George
buttner, the Jersey barrier runner, led
the field until passed by Helfrich fifty
yards from home Hulsenbeck as
sumed command shortly afterward. "
After winning the 22O-yard low
hurdle event by five yards, Edward W.
Makes, of the Knights of St. Anthony,
was told he could not have his prize.
After quite debate, Makes learned
that his prize was being held up at
the request of the registration commit
Tee. Makes was informed the commit
tee had received a written protest
againse his amateur standing. as It was
notified that Markes had been plavinp

three years.
Twenty years is long time before

entered in the pole vault, and after
clearing TIE bar at II feet inches, re-

Championship Contenders
No. 1-Charlcs Evans. Jr.

Just ten years ago this season G
brilliant young golfer suddenly stepped
e OUT among the title contenders and in
the amateur championship of 1908
gave H. Chandler Egan, who had held
the sccptre twice, one of the hardest
battles of his golfing career.
This youngster was Chick Evans
who, after spectacular career of ups
and downs, seven years later became
open and amateur champion of Ameri-
can golf within the brief span of one
fleeing summer. And for the last six
years he has been, without any doubt.
the. ideal golf stylist and the best shot
maker in the American game from the
tee up to the battling borders of the
putting green.

70 Defend Title

Evans, after finally reaching the
crest at Merton in 1916, will make a
desperate defence of his title at Oak
mont in August.
One reason is that Evans, hayine
been deprived of his open title at Brae-
burn, has no yearning to be completely
stripped in one year. Another is that
despite his great golfing ability he had
too much trouble ever reaching the ton
10 rellnqulsh the crest without a
struggle.
Chicks lane of travel to the top was
rocky one, with most of the rocks
piled upon the putting green.
Straight and long from the tea
marvel with the iron and mashie--
year after year he slipped and fell
within few feet of the pin.
IN 1910, at Brookline, he had Bill
Fownes down and to play in
the semi-final round. More than that
he was on the sixteenth green in one
and Fownes was off. But Evans took
three puts and Fownes took one and
the big upset followed. In 1871 Chick
was dropped by Fred Herreshoff at
Apawamis, and in 1912 he fell before
the deadly putting of Jerry Travcrs at
wheaton after leading Travers over
the first half of the route. Chick's

won a matter of six consecutive holes
soon after they had started in the
afternoon.
In 1913, at Garden City, he reached
the scmi-final round with John G. An
derSon and once again the putting
blight tossed him out of the FRAY. It
was in this match that Chick EMPLOYED
no less than four putters without find
ing one he could use from within two.

After these close calls he was

A Matter of Putting

With Evans at Oakmont in defence of
his title, it will again be a matter Of
putting, his one vital weakness through
so many years.
We recall our first sight of Chick
when he came to play over the Nash
vile course nearly ten years ago. He
was then using midiron on the slower
Western and Southern greens. He was

a few inches of the cup from forty to
NIFTY feet away. But it was this club
that caused his downfall and shattered
his confidence on the green's For when
he reached the fnster Eastern putting

wouldn't work. He tried out a putting

Up to the Green

, There is no flaw to be found in
Evans's game up to the green. He is
certainly the soundest amateur golfer
we nave, with no superior among any
of the professionals. He works WITH
the ease and smoothness of wonder
ful machine. If you will observe his
style you will notice that he uses the
same style of stance for every shot,
Always with the left foot slightly ad-
vanced beyond the right. Chick uses
only a three-quarter swing from the
tee and in going to this Abbreviated
stroke he has improved his direction
without losing any of his distance. He
in the way of grip, with no further
overlapping nor interlocking employed.
His accuracy can be judged from the
fact that in his first thirty-six holes at
Braeburn's rugged test he found but
one PIT and but one water hazard, in
all other respects travelling straight
to the pin.
