New-York tribune., 1919-08-10

II NAV be years before metropoli-
tan gallery will be treated to such
match. According to the wise ones, in
Guiding a number of professionals,
SAWYER had to win. No youngster who
had scarcely been heard OF in COM
netitive way until few weeks ago,
thev argued, had any right to defeat
1905. On the other hand, the claim
that the boy would crack under the
stress of long final was not borne out
bv the result, for in an all-day contest,
where two extra holes are needed,
practically as much credit belongs to
vanquished as victor.
Always careful player, never over
looking chance. Sawyer appeared
more than usually deliberate yesterday,
though that may have been more by
comparison with his opponent, who,
possessing abundance of confidence,
walked up and hit the ball.
Sawyer's Putting Accurate
Sawyer won because of a number of
exceptional recoveries and a steady
abort game that became more deadly
az the match advanced. From the edge
of the green to the holeside was prac
tically the only part where he excelled
the younger golfer.
So far as actual scoring went, this
match was not nearly as brilliant as
many another that has been seen in this
vicinity of late. In all of his previous
rounds Sweetser had lower totals. In
the morning both took 43 to reach the
turn, and at the end of the round it
was case of 50 and S4 in Sweetsers
only stood up.
It looked bad for Sawyer at one
stage of the morning, for after facing
the homeward journey l down he lost
the next three holes IN row, SO that
he stood down at the thirteenth. The
veteran then showed the stuff he was
made of by winning the thirteenth, four
tecnth and fifteenth in 3, 5, 3. Sawyer
drew level by winning the seventeenth
in 4. but he got into the brook going to
the long home hole, which Sweetser
won in to 7. That left the Ardsley
lad up at the end of the first elgh-
teen holes.
An unsuual feature of the morning
round was that only one hole in the
entire eighteen was halved, that being
the sixteenth, where both got As. With
this going on the gallery was kept on
edge all the way.
Sawyer Wins With Iron
It was much the same thing in the
afternoon Sawyer at the outset had
trouble with his tee shots, topping at
the second and either pulling or slic-
ing to trouble from a number of other
tees. In this respect, however, Sweet
ser also was occasionally guilty.
By winning the fourteenth and tif-
teen;h holes Sawyer became / up, only
TO have Sweetser square accounts with
the aid Of a stymie at the seventeenth
The bov had to hole q good putt tc
halve the home hole. To the first extra
or thirty-seventh of the match SWeetser
shanked his mashie to the rough, but
laid his next to within eight feet OF the
pin and sank the putt Tor haif IN
He couldn't quite get his at the sec,
ond after Sawyer had laid beautlful
iron shot to within six feet of the flag
