For the English Team

The third great match of the day
came between Jesse Sweetser and G.
V. L. Hooman, who together played the
finest golf of the day. Their battle
was not only carried to an extra hole.
where Hooman won, but they were also
playing the finest golf in scoring
way.
Sweetser was 2 down in the morning
round. Hooman had turned in rs,
the finest round of the day, with two
stymies, where he might easily have
had ri. In each case he was close
against the pin, but found his oppo-
ncnt's ball directly in the way. Sweet
ser had 76 on his own hook.
In the afternoon Sweetser went out
IN matchiess 80, the best outgoing
card Of the day. He was making no
mistakes of any sort. His golf was
ftawless. So by this brilliant match he
had changed a deficit down to 2 up
and seemed to have his match in hand.
But Hooman, in addition to being a
great golfer, is also a great all-around
athlete and great competitor. He
was down at the eleventh in the af-
ternoon, but here he merely began to
fight.
He cut away two holes by great golf.
ana at the sixteenth, where he was
still l down, he was badly trapped on
his tee shot. He barely emerged from
the heavy sand, made the green by
brilliant pitch and then holed his mutt
for to win. He had down-hill
twelve-foot putt to hole to square the
match, but he struck the ball truly
and firmly, and it found the back of
the cup.
Sweetser left himself ten-foot putt
to halve the thirty-hfth, after poor
pitch, but the game young Yale star
hit the ball truly and it dropped in.
Here Hooman had six-foot putt to
win. but the ball barely stayed out.
All Square After Thirty-six Holes
Coming to the long final hole both
came within breath of getting brides
by fine puts, but neither bali dropped
In. This left the big match of the
day all square after thirty-six holes.
Coming to the Arst again Hooman
struck off prodigious tee shot as
straight as an arrow travels to the
first green. Sweetser, getting his BODY
IN shade too soon, hooked badly to
the left, His ball found heavy hedge.
where he needed dynamite to get 1T out.
He made two valiant. attempts before
the bali peeped out. By this time Hoo
man, with an easy 4, had the hole won.
Chick Evans, by sound, steady golf.
had no great trouble in defeating John
NN'Si Ny ~ Gnu as AttiCh WAS % uD In
the forenoon duel with his 76. This
was faster pace than Caven could
follow. In the afternoon Evans held
to the same steady clip and merely
held his advantage. In the same way
Francis Ouimet, bv fine golf in No. 4
position, crushed Colin Aylmer by and
Z. There were no particular features
to this match, as Ouimet wss playing
superbly and Aylmer couldn't quite
come on his game.
Willis Mckenzie came back to tor
form by beating Max Marston, s and S.
Mckenzie, who was hitting long ball,
played steadily and found no trouble
on the greens, In the forenoon at
the finish Marston won the last three
holes, to finish only 2 down. but in
the afternoon Mckenzie got going
again and pulled away.
Darwin Victor Over Fownes
The last battle OF the day to finish
was the grapple between Bernard Dar-
win and Bill Fownes. Harrison Johns
ton was slated to play No. s, but the
British team understood that those who
started the foursones would finish the
singles, so Fownes went in TO play.
Darwin won by 8 and /, playing ex-
sremely steady golf. Unlike others of
his teammates, he had no great trouble
getting down the puts he needed,
while the rest of his game was cx-
tFemely sound.
