Evar1 furnished entertainment for the
gallery by missing a backhanded putt
on the fourth hole. Chick had stumbled
along at that one and finally got so
close that he did not consider 1t worth
while to give the ball the stick in the
orthodox fashion. He had back
handed stab and must have been look
ing at the clouds, for he stubbed the
club into the turf.
That was lesson that Evans laid TO
heart. He played no more fancy shots
-. $40
would have been out with the best Of
them. AS It was he turned n th'rty-slx
and then came gayly home in thirty
seven over what is cas..y the harder
half of the course.
Chick. with his crutchlSe putter IS
beginning to work himself into the
Travis class He holed twenty footer
on the eleventh and puttcd well on the
average. At one stage of his career a
notoriously bad performer on the green's
he appears now to have become a very
confident one. Because of this he may

satisfied with his gene. In to-days

duired three puts. After that TO the
thirteenth there was nothing wrong
with the woodlander'o game.
IL. was out in 36 despite the poor
start. At the thirteenth, however, he
missed his third shot after playing two
fine strokes with wood. This hole Is
the longest on the course. These puts
gave Ouimct a six. He hal an extra
putt on the fourteenth as well, and he
was trapped at the same hole.
Notwithstanding. he went around in

Willie Hunter, the British champion.
qualified safely with 70, keeping half
a dozen others company. among them
John @. Anderson. Hunter was out in
80 and home in 40. his game being sat
isfactory In some respects but not Of
the quality that is to win the title the
coming week.
Hunter has been having rather
hard time with the American climate,
harder than one might have imagined.
Since coming to this country he has lost
sixteen pounds in weight, which he says
Is fatal to a man of his small stature.
An attack OF dysentery has robbed him
of much of his strength.
Had Ii not been for my irons would
have been in bad shape" said Hunter
after his round to-day. ''I don't seem
to be ablo TO get any distance, and were
It not for the fact that have retained
some of the skill up to the green ]
hardly know what kind OF game /
should have played to-day"
