ABOUT every variety Of golf Ef%$
known was made in the inte.nati 4
team match between the United 81
and Canada on the links Of the 4.
neers' Club at Roslyn yesterday s;}
served to make the contest one II n
most interesting and most spsctaeu32
ever dished up for the edification s
the golf fans who hocked to the 49,
Island course. The United stakS
players triumphed by q score
10 to q, winning all but one Of
doubles matches and six Of the t
angles matches. The match bstusS
Oswald Kirkby and Seymour Lyon q &
suited in a tie.
It was . grand melee and madg 8
excellent preliminary to the big Ss
tional amateur tournament that viii ~
under way tomorrow. The most eIss3
ficant happening Of the whole day Ssss
that Francis Ouimet. Bobby Jones mi
Bob Gardner, three Of the best Of p u
counted on to set the pace in the n55
tional competition, were all defeats{ k1
the singles.
While these defeats are nothins M
Gauge any alarm, they warn us, neeissA
theless, that the coming meet will
no cut-and-dried affair, particulSxlza 4
over this mysterious and ever haflIst i
course. We still feel the Ameriuns3
are going to show the way to both n 4
Canadians and the Englishmen in fi3
champion tourney, but we are also oulfi
sure they win have no cinch.
Ouimet suffered lefeat at the hasss

the decisive margin Of up and 1 ~ j
play. And that too after the forn1s
American titleholder had shot III;
liant II in the morning. playing W.
Fownes in the doubles matches.
Oulmet was in wonderful form In fkSs
morning and made good on virtusI
every shot. Not so in the afternsS
though. He played his shots much "a
he did in the forenoon, so it seensf s.
but little Mr.. Break bobbed up AZ
quently in the second round to steep
the ball from its directed line to &C.,
more or less troublesome spot.

hole.
~Break" on Sixteenth Hole
Gardner drove a trap. Not q w
good start, to be sure, but as good q
his opponent, who carried the rouaA.
from the tee. From the trap GardAe
attempted a spectacular perpendieuiat;
| shot over q cluster Of trees 100 feet e.
SO high, and made it. Lyon went y,
more than fifty feet on his second shssl
and that into the rough. With an eaAy:
chip shot to the pin for his third, ~
hole looked as good as won for the CHI
cago player. 1
We should have stateu that matts5,
were all square up to this hole. buI
for his third Gardner skidded aeytni
the green, while few more smazip
finally landed the Canadian on the grstss
in five. Gardner went over the csry4
again for his fourth, but got on 6nai3

And then each tried to hand the hsk
to the other. First Gardner mis1si
then Lyon followed suit. Gardner trii
again and failed, but Lyon suceeedei
Lyon won the hole, 8 to Z. and becsae
l up. He halved the next two and eay
ried off the match.
Canadian Beats Jones
Bobby Jones looked all over like tha
winner before his clash with F. Thomps
son, but it turned out that the Csass
dian won the laurels. The Atlanta
youth made some very excellent shcte
but he also made some poor ones, and,
Of course, there is always the exegse
he didn't get the breaks. But We ~
see him receive one bad piece Of lex
1t was on the sixth hole. His drive ~
perfect and was destined for the gree1
but it struck the top of the velvet ~
kicked of to trap. However. Joasi
halved that hole with a long putt.
