golfers featured todays matches in the

nament.
Francis Ouimet of Boston who in
1915 won the United States open title
by defeating the British professionals,
Vardon and Ray, at Brookline. Mass,

by Ouimet in 1914, after he had failed

could not pull victory off, for the
Giants were much too strong for the
Stallings crowd AS a result of Wed

Graw's men gained full game on the
idle and observant Reds, and are now
only one and one half games behind
the champions.
The Giants played fast and aggres-

own home lot at the Polo grounds
last night with the full intention OF
making it as difficult as possible for
our boys to retain their lead while
