Foursome Victory Surprises.
The Americans led by brilliant
play. Evans and Jones got on 10
a rushing start in the forenoon four
somes. making a clean sweep Of all
four matches and bIockading any
chance of a British victory. This
result was astonishing as the Brit
fsh were conceded an edge in the
foursome play. In the afternoon the
American team continued the driv-
ing assault, winning nve out Of
eight singles.
In foursome play Evans and Jones
went out in 81 and ran away with
Jenkins and Simson, winning > and
3, with both Americans playing
wood and iron perfectly. Jones was
doing remarkable putting on the
cast iron greens.
This is one of the greatest four
some scores ever known in inter-
national competition. getting in no
hazards in the entire round.
Steady team play by Ouimet and
Guilford stopped Tolley and Hold
erness, Ouimet being in great form
and putting with superb confidence.
FOwnes and Wright conquered
Armour and Aylmer. and by
better work around the green's

down at the eighth hole played the
next five holes under par. with
S-3-3-4-3, taking lead and the vic
tory.
Evans Beaten in the singles.
One British consolation was the
defeat of Champion Evans by
Champion Tolley in the afternoon

played f1awless golf. sinking eight
and ten foot puts without a culver.
Evans was unable to keep the pace
on the keen greens and was beaten

Tolley's even fours finished the
match. He made but two mistakes
and looms as a formidable opponent
for the championship.
British hopes for a recovery were
quickly dashed when Ouimet's SEN
sational dash won the first six holes
Former Champion Jenkins and Oui-
met started with and went out in
35, with two holes under fours and
six and a FIVE at the finish. Oui-

golf of the entire day. leaving Jen-
kins badly slaughtered.
A great crowd, following the
Jones -MOntmorency match, was re-
warded by the brilliant play OF
Jones, who used wood and iron
magnificently, but not quite so sure
on the elusive green as in the
morning round
Jones is extremely popular over

hand all the way. playing high
backspin pitches boldly to the
granite greens with fine effect.
