 The Country club, BroolSline. MaSs" September s.--The national amateur golf championship was won by Jesse W. Sweetser of New York. He Yan7 quished the champion of champions, Charles Evans. Jr., of Chicago, three up and two to play. Sweetser elim- mated Bobby Jones, southern cham pion, yesterday. Golfing yodeh triumphed over golfing age. Chick Evans won his first national title in 1916. Sweetser, who says his name ia Jess, not Jesse. is still in his twenty-first year. With one excep- ton, he is the youngest champion in the 26 years of title competition in this country. With few exceptions he was the youngest of the lot of 149 offers, the most brilliant field ever a.hered for the event. who set out bars..a week ago for the champion sbin Over the game as exemplifled hv a,xhT official and two unofficial of Great Britain.

 Beaten at Own Game
 To golfing enthusiasts, the ehoiy of his success today lies in the faAs that he heat Evans at his own game It was expected that Sweetser would out-drive Evans-and he did. It was thought he would be off on his ap- breaches and that Evans would beat him at this stage of play in which Chick Is acknowledged the best in the world, but he did not. Instead Sweetser was usually straight ahead, and it was Chick who was often in the rough, who was trapped or bunkered, trying to get to the greens and who. once on, fell short or even ran in putting for the hole.
 In every match in which he ad- vanced In this tournament, Sweetser set up stymies to impede his adyer- sary. This Is the first year of the stymie's restoration and, without having been the cause. 1t was still factor in the making of the cham pion of this year.
 The Closing Scene
 The closing scene today was on. the sixteenth green, at the thirty-fourth hole of mateh-where both Sweetser and Evans had driven to the green from the tee 130 yards away. Chicks hall rested 8 feet away. Jesse's was 10 feet distant. The crowd swept down the fairways, the players were passed through and Sweetser took his butter while all sound was stilled. Dormie three he almost gave his victory of the sensational by seeking for birdie two to win in single stroke. He missed by Inches. Chick, who had stalled defeat by winning the hole before. tried to stem 1t again. also shooting boldly for the cup. He. too, fell short and the match ended not with the dropping of a ball. but with Evans shaking the hand of his

Tom Weaver of Atlanta, who is stopping over in Birmingham for a few days en route Nto Los Angeles, making the trip in bis car with Mrs. Weaver. Is seeking to interest sev- erai Birmingham sportsmen in q mamomth game preserve and sports mans paradise. which has been found in the wilds of south Geor- gia and which covers a 135,000 acre tract--one entire county. Most of the members of this big preserve, said to be one of the largest in the world, are made up of Atlanta and other Georgia communities, but MT. Weaver says he brings and invita- tion to those in Birmingham who want to join.
 Sportsman's Paradise
 Tom, in discussing the great pre- serve, said: Greatest place on earth for the outdoor man. Millions of quail, and other small game. Ducks, wild geese, wild turkeys, fox, many bear and yep. even alligators. They're hunting the latter in south Georgia. and are finding it great sport"
 Mir. Weaver Is stopping at the Tutwiler. and said he just made 8ir- mingham to look over its beauties. I'm not soliciting business" he said, "as my wife and I are cn transcontinental pleasure jaunt, but I brought message from t. sportsmen of Georgia that if there were those in Alabama who oNwant- ed to become eligible to hunt on his 135. 900 acres of land that they might do so. and also enjoy it's other conveniences."
 Headquarters of Preserve
 The headquarters of the preserve is in Nashville, Ga. Berrien county, and MT. Weaver states that every thing to make up a great camp life go with a membership. Guides are furnished to hunters and 15,00o acres of the Amammoth tract are made up of the best fresh water fishing lakes to be found in the United States.
 Tn the Banks pond, 15,0o0 acres" said MT. Weaver, lover 43,000 pounds of fine fish were caught in this lake during one month this year. Most of this catch was made up of Dream and trout.
 Tn the fall and winter, migra- tory ducks inhabit this lake by the millions. In the center of this great lake Is an island of lilies of about l ,ooo acres, made up of alli- gator caves. This too--hunting all ligators-is one of the most thrilling sports in the world"

Outside Of directing the attack, whipping up the defense, pulling a webbing pitcher, slamming out the terrific waliop that won the game and figuring in two lightning double plays. Bert had little to do Saturday. Of course in his idle moments he kept his eyes glued nthe Southern league score-board In right field, and kept track of the beating Nashville was administering to the sinking Chicks.
 -he Barons were leading by one score. when Bertram puiverized one of MT. Whitehill's groove specials in the sixth and knocked In the run that won the game. Whitehill helped spill the beans that started him on the way to doomville when Neun fielded D. Williams grounder and tossed the ball to Whitey. The Ba- ronial pitcher held 1t momentarily and then dropped it, Williams going, safe. Cueto kissed one passionatelyN for single and then Manager Bert came up accompanied by his square shoulders and wagon tongue. He shot one far over Silva's head in left for "a triple and D. Williams and Cueto counted. This placed Mobile in the lead and they never relinquishei 1t. After Mulvey had whiffed Rhino Will Hams contributed 6 single into lef: and Niehoff came home.

Barons' First Tally

Birmingham got her first tally in the firth frame, when Aehinger worked Siggy Sigman for a pass and Whitehill beat out a bunt. Stewart crowned one for single and Ach- inger came home. Kane sacrificed the men over to third and second but Sigey Jagged Harpers line drive and Taylor skied to center field for the end of the frame.
 Manager Niehoff's first lightning double play that saved the game temporarily came in the seventh. when Siggy wavered and was in vited to the showers by Boss 5ert Achinger led off the inning with a single and Siggy walked the pitch CT. That settled his hash and Acosta was called in to relieve him. Stewart was up and he drop~ed a neat bunt In front of the plate, which Acosta picked up and threw against the right field bleachers. Achinger scoring and Whitehill pull iEg up at third. Umpire Bulldog Williams ruled that Stewart had taken two swats at the ball, hitting 1t foul first and fair on the rebound and he made the men go back and ordered Stewart to bat over. Mana ger Joe Dunn rushed out on the field like an enraged Bull. but evil dently Williams was more afraid of nine Bears, so he made Stuffy bat over. He bunted fairly on the third {, strike and was thrown out at first Achinger and Whitehill moving over to third and second with only one down. It looked like sure score. Kane drew pass, filling the bases and Harper hit lightning ground CT between first and second, which Niehoff scooped out of the dirt. He touched Kane, who was squirting for second. and whipped the ball to first for a lightning double play and the retirement of the side
