newed determination to capture the
British title ia the coming week
The esteem in which the visitors are
held through the reputation they ac-
quired in their practice work shot away
above par after they had made a clean
sweep Of the four foursomes In the
morning and had won FIVE Of the eight
single matches in the afternoon play.
The outstanding strength OF the
Americans was demonstrated in driY-
| ing, while the predominant weakness
of the British lay in putting.
The feature Of the day, however, was
the defeatSof Chick Evans Of Chicago,
! the 1920 amateur champion, by the Brit
ism champion, Cyril Tolley. Evans suf-
fered from frequent hard luck at times
in this match, bounding badly and sew
eral times missing the hole by inches
He succumbed to Tolley. the idol Of the
| English amateur links 4 up and TO
| play.
| Many hundreds OF spectators followed
| the toursomes. Three of these were won
| BY substantial margin by the Aneri-
cans. thus upsettlng the opinion of the
experts. who had predicted that fine
sunny weather would favor the English
men. The fourth, the closest OF these
contests. was between DR.. Paul Hunter
and J. Wood Piatt on one side. and r. II.
on the other. in which the Englishmen
held the lead at the turn by two holes.
BY superior driving and their work on
! the greens, where they gave nothing
away, however. the Americans gradually
reduced the gap and won by the narrow
margin of one up.
Bobby" Jones Of Atlanta, who drove
| off the first ball amid cheers. proved to
| be in good form, and returned a score
of "a for the first nine holes. and with
| Chick Evans equally sound they nm
ished with the largest margin OF the
SERIES up and 8 to play.
| Tolley and l.. w. f. Holderness were
beaten by Francis Ouimet and Jesse
| p. Guilford. up and to play. In
this event Tolley made a disappointing
showing. lie drove out Of bounds early
! In the match, while his partner got into
| a sandy ditch. Ouimet and Guilford
made fewer mistakes, and from all
square at the turn had much the better
4 of the game at the finish
! The two other overseas players who
lost In the singles were DIR. Paul Hunter
| of Los Angeles. champion of southern
| California, who was defeated by c. c.
| Aylmer of Ranelagh, 2 up and 1 to play
and J. Wood Platt. who lost to T. d.
Armour of Lothianburn. 2 up and ] to
play. The Los Angeles doctor, never
theless won widespread favor with
his long approach shots. while the
Philadelphia title holder occasioned
comment by his steadiness and neat
clubwork
Jones, through his spectacular driv-
ing and accurate putting to-day, ap-
pears to the British as a formidable
entry for the championship, for which
his match opens Monday morning at
$50. Among the English players Toll
ley received the most applause though
his forenoon form was not UP to that of
the afternoon.
For the most part the matches We're
won on the green's, which were fast
and very smooth, much to the Ameri-
cans liking.
