ST. LOUIS. Sept. 16.-on the farthest
frontier ever touched b. the nited
States Golf Association in it's annual
amateur championship golfers from the
East found much 20 elate and encourag ge
Them to-day when they won u teom
match over the links of the ST. Louis
country Club IN competition with the
middle West, the South and the Pacific
northwest by margin OF four strokes
While tho play OF to-day may offer
little assurance that the title will be
brought West at tho finish Of the cham
nionship which starts tc-morrow, it was
an encouraging success, especially since
}he East had to do without the services
or such metropolitan players who had
wired their withdrawal as Jerome d.
Travers. three times winner of the ma
tional crown Gardiner w. White. the
metropolitan title holder: Oswald Kirk
~. Grant a. Peacock, metropolitan run
rerup; &. l.. Van Week, Jr.. and John

True enough. Francis Ouli71et. the
eastern captain. pressed Tom Armour.
lhe Scottish star, into service ON the
strength of his affiliation with the
Slwanoy Country Club, which he Joined
last week There may be some question
rs to whether Armours inclusion was
stretching point in favor of the East,
put 1t was only an unofficial affail
at.er al, and carried out in the best
spirit OF sportsmanship.
:. The East totailed 631 points on tho
aggregate scored by medal play as
against the s35 OF the middle Western
team led by Robert A. Gardner OF
chicago, twice former winner of the
national championship ana runnerup
last year FOR the British amateur title.
Despite the fact that Bobby Jones or
Atianta set new record for the st.
Louis Country Club course Of TO- the
southern players had to rest content
with an aggregate of 654. while Fl.
chandler Egan's Pacific Northwest all

do no better than 664.
All Eyes ON Jones,

All eyes naturally were on Jones. as
Pc reeled off the holes for the greater
part at their par value or better. Not
many OF the players are going into
scstasles over the condition OF the putt
fhs greens. In fact at least one contest
ant declares that they are not even as
good as were the green's of the Colum.
Ola Country Club during the nationa!
open championship. Jones, however.
did not seem to have much trouble viii,

Next best card to Jones's was the 73
banded in by Jesse Guilford, the "Bos-
Ton Siege Cum" who played the eighteen
holes In 73. Guilford had a grand total
of 81 for the flrst nine Good as this
was. however. It no better than tied the
figures shown for the same part OF the
course by w. w. Patten OF Mohawk

helped Jerome Travers defeat Duncan
