i. S. AND BRITISH
CHAMPS OUSTED IN
GOLF PLAY, ST.L0UIS

ST. Louis, Sept. 23-Both Chick
Evans, the American champion and
Willie Hunter, the British title
holder, were eliminated today in the
semi finals of the National Amateur
golf championship, played in
driving rain storm over the links Of
the st. Louis Country club. Jesse
Guilford of Boston defeated Evans
I and 81 while Robert Gardner of
Chicago sent the Briton back empty
handed. up and to play, neither
match being much in doubt after the
noon intermission, when Gullford
was four and Gardner three up.
Evans was not able to putt at any
stage of the contest and after
watching one short putt after an
other refuse to go down while Gull
ford sank his ball from any part Of
the green, the champions game went
stale. 1t was not Evans poor game
that lost for him, for he played well
enough most of the way to win the
average contest.
The Boston player proved a good
mud horse, playing as well as
though the greens were not seas of
water into which the balls dug al
most out of sight at times. Guilford
played about the best golf of his ca
reer, although he did not need it.
Evans played carefully and tried
his best to get his game back, but it
was no use He acted like a man
who had stiff muscles, although he
offered no alibi saying that it was
not his day.
The heavy rain that started at
daybreak was falling in torrents
when the matches started, and a
fash of lightning that shivered a
tree nearby caused both Gardner
and Hunter to miss their drives from
the first tee and take skies for the
first hole. It was a dreary affair.
and large galleries of previous DAYS
gave way TO small coterie Of per
sons who moved along with the
dripping players under umbrellas
that gave the crowd the semblance
of patch of black mushrooms.
Women onlookcrs were drenched to
the skin, like everyone else on the
course.
Gardner never gave the Briton a
chance and took revenge for his fail
ure to lift the British title last year.
The American showed his champion
ship calibre by scoring a IS in the
morning round.
The English player was only up
once, winnig the third hole with a
par three. His run UP shot stood
him in good hand all day. saving him
from losing more holes than he did.
Hunter also won two other holes
but one cost him a par and the other
a birdie and that was all he could
do in the winning line.
Guilford has been pounding at the
door of the championship for a long
time. He won the New Hampshire
championship as boy of II and
reached the semi finals of the ma :
tional pionshi, in 1916.
Guilford has Won the Massachu-
sets title twice and also has cap
tured the state open crown.
He was among the American in
vaders of Great Britain last summer
by lost to Cyril TOlley, former Brit
lsh champion, two and one.
Gardner won the title in 1900 and
l9lo. and was runnerup to Evans in
1916. He lost the British title to
FOLEY last year after going TO an
extra hole. The finals will bring to-
gether the two longest htters in
America.

o, FOR A BOOK

"Oh for a book and a shady nooki"
You recollect the rhymes,
Written how many years ago
In placid. happier times?
Today no shady hooks are ours,
With half the world at strife,
And dark ambitions laying waste
The pleasant things of life;
But still the cry for books is heard,
For solace OF the magic word.
"oh for a book" the cry goes forth,
ooh for a book to read;
To sooth us in our WEAKNESS,
The laggard hours to speed"
From countless hospitals lie,
Where stricken soldiers lie,
Who gave their youth, who gave their
strength,
Lest Liberty should die.
How small favor to implore:
The books we've finished with-no
more!
A book can have thousand lives,
With each new reader, one;
A book should have a thousand Lives
Before its course is run.
And we few kinder things can do
Our gratitude to show,
Than give the freedom of our shelves
To those that need it so,
Nor let them ask without avail
The sweet Requirement of a tale.
-E. v. L., in Punch.
