he played niblick pitch to within six
leet Of the cup. A roar of applause
followed as Evans studied the line of
"Chlck for the first time looked dazed.
He hit his chip shot twelve feet off
line, the ball stopping fifteen feet
above the cup
Chicks" bid for the cup stopped
fourteen inches short, and then Oui-
met, who looked to have about one
shot left, stepped up without furry,
tapped the ball with the delicate put
ting stroke he uses and down it went.
And with it went the second title that
Evans has lost this summer.
Loses at the Last Twist
1t should be said for "Chick" right
here that he stuck gallantly to dizzy
pace, hung on with fine grimness
against super-golf, then came back and
squared the match by fine rally, only
to lose at the last.twst.
The contest developed spectacular
features from the moment Evans sunk
sloping 30foot putt on the first green
1or a 3, beating par two strokes. And
when Ouimet had won the next two
holes through par golf, where Evans
had missed mashie shot and a short
putt, the thrills returned at the 371-
yard fifth, where "Chick" slapped an
iron shot from a trap to within ten
feet of the cup and sunk his g.
with the match squared again Evans
leaped to the front on the 171-yard
sixth by chipping into the cup from
! dead for his 5. Ouimet then turned
and got back the next two holes by
Hawless golf. He came to the ninth i
up.
Evans here was short of the green
on his second and ten feet over the
cup on his third. Ouimet was trapped
on mis- second and ten feet to the right
I OF the cup on his recovery Ouimet
sank his putt for a 4, beating par q
stroke. So did Evans, down hitler at
a critical moment. They were both
out in Sc. one stroke under par over a
3,400yard route.
Ouimet won the tenth by two fine
shots to the green, one under par. and
! then Evans settled and turned in eight
successive fours, one of them calling
/ for tifteen-foot putt on the 60l-yard
/ twelfth. He won this hole, and he won
| the seventeenth when Ouimet found q
bunker from the tee.
Battle at Top Speed
Both started their final eighteen
holes at top speed. Each was on the
480-yard first green in and each got
/ down fiye-foot putt for 4 1t was here
that Ouimet opened up one Of the
most brilliant dashes that any one had
ever seen.
Both had fine drives, but Francis
dropped has mashie shot within eigh-
ten inches Of the cup, where Chick
found trap. At the next hole, 42S
! yards on the crest of the hill. Ouimet's
second stopped eight feet from the cup
and down went another g. Chick, two
down, got back the next by beating par
at the 5l6-yard fourth with a drive. q
brassie great chip shot and one putt
! Oulmet's second catching trap but
the Boston golfer started again with a
on the fifth. including a foot putt
4 and at the seventh. He was uu
/ again. The next two holes were haived
III par.
Evans 8 Down on 9th
Evans came to the twenty-seventt y,
hole with down. But who could
blame him? Ouimet had turned in
no less than five IS and he had a net
4 at the ninth hole for so, five under
par. Evans found himself dowr
where he had to equal a hard par
Not only had Ouimets long game
been good but he had either beer
sticking his iron shots to within a few
feet of the pin of holing his and II
foot puts. Only one inspired with an in
grown determination to win coulC
have continued such q streak. 1Nsl
had the feeling that once within sight
Of the cup he was either going to lay
one dead or sink his putt.
Ouimet's second shot at the ninth
or twenty seventh, caught a trap al
the green's edge and it took him two tC
get out. This left him but up wher
Evans played safely and wisely fol
his sure S. AS it was, with a or
this hole, Ouimet had gone out in "a
3 under par He had beaten par or
four holes, had been all square witt
par at four others and had slipped OF
the ninth alone.
They halved the tenth and eleventh
in tves through faulty iron play, fol
now the terrific strain was beginning

worn; Evans looked tired Both wer,
drawn and at high tension. Ouime
had a chance to win the long twelfth
when Evans topped his second shot
but the Eastern star took three puts
missing the last from less than thirt,
inches. A recovery from the side of
bunker and one putt saved him at tn,
short thirteenth, which was halves il
threSs.
Strain Begins to Tell
And then, up and only 5 to play
Ouimet began to show further effect
from the long grind He missed hi
second shot at the fourteenth and los
the hole when Evans got his par A. Th
sixteenth hole was q critical spot. Boil
had fine tee shots, and then Evans
sliced his iron to a trap at the right
Ouimet attempted to rally, but he end
ed by playing a weary hook to tral
at the left, and they finally halved tn,
hole in SKIES.
Evans was l down and to play. Hi
tee shot to the 226-yard thirty fourtl
was fine shot with the wood to with,
twenty feet Of the cup, while his oppo
nent sliced one far to the right and tool
s. Evans had hung on long enough
and gamely enough to square tn
match. They were all even, with bu
2 to go.
