Evans Must Defend
In Greatest Amateur
Golf TOURNEY Held

st. Louis, Sept. 15-Chick Evans
will defend his title as national anna
teur golf champion this year against
the largest field and in the most
grilling contest in the history of the
event at the tournament opening
Saturday at the ST. Louis Country
club. Among the contenders is Will
lie l. Hunter, British amateur cham
pion.
Entries filed with the United States
Golf Association break all records
and the struggle has been expanded
so that only an accident can bar the
best Of the field from reaching the
match rounds or let any but the best
into the circle of 80 players who con-
test the title in five &c hole matches.
To add to the difficulty the course
over which the play will take place is
SO indvidualistic as to compel the
maximum variety of shots to bring
success.
Golfing history shows that only
once has Briton won the American
title. Harold Hilton having turned
the trick in 1911 at Apawamis Club in
New York by defeating Fred Herr
eshoff in 81 holes and then by such
lucky kick of the ball that she con-
coded fortune, rather than skill. had
favored him. BY the same token.
American golfers have done no better
in England, Walter J. Travis with
his wonderful putting taking the
British title in 1904. Likewise, only
once has an outsider been runncr-up,
George S. Lyons of Toronto, Canada,
reaching the finals in 1906 at Engle-
wood, n j., but losing to +. NJ. Byers
of Pittsburgh. The only American
runner-up in outremer champion
ships was Robert A. Gardner of Chi
cago, who lost the British finals last
wear to FOLLY on the 37th green.
Among the entrants are two for
mer champions who have not APP
peared in the event for some time
II. Chandler Egan, of Portland. Ore.
who won the title in 1904 and 1905
and was runner-up in 1909. and Je-
rome D. Travers of New York. pre-
mier golfer in 1907. 1908, 1912 and
1918 as we'll as runner-up in 1914
Competing with these veterans who
bark back to the days of solid rubber
balls when a 600 yard drive was eX-
cellent and Il course needed to be
only 5000 Yards long for a par of 20,
are a number of promising young,
sters. Among these striplings are:
Harrison, r. Johnston, st. Paul and
II. f. Knepper of Sioux City. Ia. who
tied for medal score at the Western
Amateur in July. Ira Couch and Bur
ton Nudge of Chicago, who survived
two or three rounds in the same
event, F. A. GodchauX of New Or
leans. H. r. Wenzler of Memphis and
George Won Elm of Salt Lake City.
who won the Transrnississippi title
at Denver by spectacular play
Knepper in the Western finished run
ner-up TO Evans, who won the title
for the sixth time.
Evans has won the national title
twice. in 1916 and 1920. and held it for
four years as there was no meet IN
1917 or 1918 on account of the war.
but he lost in 1919 when Davidson
Heron of Pittsburgh reached the PIN
nacle of golf. with Bobby Jones as
runner-up. Evans was also runner
I'D to Travers in 1912 and he won the
open title at Minneapolis in 1916
with a record score of 2S6 strokes for
II holes.

Ga.
In every case the matches were
fully typified by these scores. Til
den, Anderson and Johnson won
with comparative ease in straight
sets. The Davis Kinsey contest, how
ever, was a hard. gruellins struggle
which left both players exhausted at
! the. finish. So much so. in fact. that
kinsey had to receive first aid treat
ment before he could leave the
courts.
Chief interest centered in the
meeting of Hidden and the English
man, Lowe, and there was a gallery
of 10000 spectators present when
play began late in the afternoon.
Humid atmosphere and a hot sun
made the eXertions of the players
doubly strenuous. The winner of
each match appeared eager to finish
his opponent as soon as possible.
This was particularly true of Til
den and he hurried through his play
with Lowe in a manner which in
duced number of errors. This with
the take-a- chance attitude of Lowe
i in the last set enlivened a match
which otherwise would have been
, comparatively fiat.
! Davis and Kinsey mingled streaks
of brilliant stroking and gets with
strings of errors due to the force
full pace of the play. 1t was Davis
wider repertoire of strokes and his
! greater stamina that enabled him to
, weather the trying five set match
Johnson and Anderson came through
without undue exertion and will
meet in one semi final match tomor-
row. while Tilden and Davis are con-
testants in the other.

ter men at Cony High school captain
of the football squad for the coming
season. Stafford has always been q
man to be depended upon at the
most critical times and has won for

many of the social activities at this
institution.
Things look good for Cony TINS

a strong aggregation. The makeup
of the regular squad as yet has not
been decided upon. Some w can
didates showed up on the field at
Capitol Park Thursday afternoon
and intensive tactics in tackllng ana
running were INDUCED in. 1t is also
assured that the second and third
teams will be of the husky variety
and will be capable of meeting some
of the best second elevens in the
