 Wins Amateur Championship
Francis 0uimet Loses Out In Finals of America's Great est Golf Tourney---Evans
 Has Easy Time

Roslyn, N. r., September II.
 Charles Evans, Jr. of Chicago,
 a member of the Edgewater
 Golf Club, today attained the honor of being the worlds best amateur golfer, by defeating
 Francis Ouimet of Boston in the
 final round of the United States
 championship tournament, z
 and 6.
 lis position as worlds champion, while uEofficial is like that of William Tilden of Philadelphia, as the best there is in 1 tennis. Each played in a tournament in which the premier players of the world were entered. and each was victorious. l In the golf tournament just ended the champion of France, Scotchman and the title holders of Canada and England I competed, but two former American champions lasted to the final round
 Evans has now joined the select few who have held the United States amateur title for more than one year. Not since 1915, when Jerome D. Travers won the second year in succession. has a cnam- pion come back. Evans was both anna tcur and open United States champion in 1916.
 VICTORY IS SURPRISE His victory in thirty holes was sur Irise today to those who recalled his match with Oumet at 0akmont, where Ouimet won by a long putt at the home green. Ouimets putting today was great factor in his defeat, but, being two down at the eighteenth hole, he must have indeed played super golf even to hold down the advantage of his rivai, let alone overcome it.
 When Evans went out in 34, two under par, even the most enthusiastic admir,us of Ouimet saw that his task was hope less.
 Evans was seven up at the turn in the afternoon. and then there was no doubt of the result
 The warmth of a bright sunny after noon, with a large gallery and the course dry. seemed much to the liking of the Chicago star. It was similar weather when he put former Champion w. C. Fownes, Jr.. and Edward P. Alls of Mill waukee out of the running, after each had given him a close contest on neavy ground in the morning. On each of these occasions he went to the afternoon turn with fewer strokes than par. His record of 34 for the first nine holes cut was equalled during the present tournament oHly Dy freu J. WriSnt, Jr., the MaSSa- chusetts champion.
 EVANS LOSES ONE HOLE
 Evans lost only one hole of the aft ernoon and this time he was in a bunker and for the only time in the afternoon round took more strokes than par, while he had three brdies.
 Even friends of his defeated rival con- ceded that Evans played far superior golf than Oumet Recapitulating figures tell the same story. While Ouimet had the longer drives on sixteen of the twen- ty-five holes which they played today, he drove into the rough from the tee six times and Evans only once. Evans made the longer drfve on eight of the long holes and they were even at one. having to toss to decide which should make his approach first.
 Evans put his tee shots nearer the cup on three of the five short poles; Ouimet on two.
 Evans had the better approach on thirteen of the long holes and Ouimet on twelve. The figures in this respect do not do Evans justice, for the ap- breaches that were to his advantage usually left him dead to the pin, or two easy butts. .Ouimet put his ball in trars or bunkers eight times and Evans only | twice.
 The play at the longest and the short est holes of the course is good guioe to the manner in which Evans won.
 A PAR THREE
