So HOLES AT TREYFFRIN
BY SANDY McNIBLLCK

Tn Wednesday. October 10, an OK.
! hibi'ion golf match will be played on
! tho links of the club at Paoii which will
bring together four of the real giants
Of American amateur golf.
On that date Jesse Guilford. Francis
OutmCt Chick Evans. and Max Mars
! ton will hook up in four ball. thirty
six-ho'c battle which promises to
, develop into more than just COLT
! mat'h. One reason for this is the
! pairing. Max Marston will team M
! win Chick Evans against GuIlford ana
/ Ouimet
| Tn" former pair showed Philadel.
| phians how well they could play to.
gethcr last year when they hooked up
against Nnrdou and Ray at Merton. In
| mat match the Americans were we'll up
IN the morning aud only new record
under 40 for Nardon in the afternoon
noSrd out the Yankee pair at the thirty
sixth hole.
Leading L. $. Pair
But GuiIford and Ouimct are con.
Sidpr"d the best amateur pair. teamed
up. playing golf in this country. OuimCt
, j. always MP there for tho parA and
deadly steadinCss while Guilford. one Of
IN" longest hittcrS among the simon
purcS in any country. has great
chance on the long holes for n bird or
eagle and frequently takes hole where
! Ouimct has played II safe for par.
When speaking of battles of the
century, this ought TO be ranked as
one on the links.
This will be tho lone chance Philadel.
ph!a will have 10 see Guilford, newly
I 90.
in action here this year. and Tredyffrin
has scored a coup d'etat, as they say.
in getting the big Boston "siego gun"
10 come down here to show his wares.
In that quartet will be the national
champion, the Pennsylvania champion.
the Massachusetts champion and the
western champion. They have all
reached the national semi final, more
| than once most Of them.
Between them they have won the
| championship of the Cnted States four
! tines and the American open twice
| District and State titles they hnve
| cleaned up to a fare thee well between
/ them.
In fact there isn't very much in the
way Of golf hOnOrs one of these four
! has not won at one time or another.
! Records are expected to be scattered in
all directions.
Return" Bout
There will be a little biz of return
| match about this contest at Trcdyffrin
when you consider the players lndivld-
ually.
In the first round Of the national
! championship last week at st. Louis
| Max Marston had Francis Ouimet 3
! down in the morning, only to los" out
| in the afternoon, when Ouimct Unrov-
| cred a string OF 81 for eleven holes.
! remarkable golf which matches Ouimet :
! efforts in the medal round where the
! former national amateur and open
champion broke the course record with
t." and won the medal with his IA
! total
Murston and OuImct will be on oppo-
site sides when they play here.
Chick Evans entered the play ont
| there as the reigning champion and
! fsvorite. He was going sweetly ill he
crossed the trail Of the far hitting
| Guilford in the rain, and here he WAS
virtually buried, you might say. in the
mud. The old champion was toppled
! by the new.
They'll be on opposite sides, too. at
! Tredytfrln.
So there you are. II that doesn
make n contest our Of 1t nothing will,
, both individually and aS pairs.
Long Hitters
There are many who think these four
car swat golf bail az far as any Of
them. and efforts will be made in this
| October match to keep tabs on the length
gotten from the tees. Tredyfrin
course will be thoroughly gone over.
The greens are coming around in good
shape after maladies Of hard summer
and everything will be in shape.
