The next combinations that seemed
to have better chance OF matching
this card were the Chick Evans-Ira
Couch team, from Edgewater, and the
Sweetscr- Anderson pair, from Siwaaoy
On this outward march Ira
Couch, the young Chicago star, had a
remarkable 35, which Evans was not
able 20 help. Anderson and Sweetser
were l stroke more.
Coming home Sweetser got going st
top speed, coming back in 81. At the
| 520-yard eleventh hole, against the
1 wind. Swcc.ser slammed the bali home
in 2, his great brassie wallop carry
ing every uphill trap and dropping on
the green. At the 4s0-yard fourteenth
both Couch and Evans bit the cup for
eagle 3s, but neither patti stayed in.
Anderson then sank q twenty-footer
for birdie 4, and the New York
team took the lead. When Sweetser
sank fifteen-footer for a 2 at the
short sixteenth, the Dyer Reekie COM
binstion had been overhauled.
May Play OF in New York
The Siwanoy pair both had twenty
foot puts for 3s at the next two
holes, but couldn't quite make the
grade. The two leaders will either
play Off the tie this week for the
trophy now held by Oair-et and Gull
ford, or delay the duel until they meet
later on in New York

needed the rest badly, and he should
be in much better medal play frame
of mind by tomorrow afternoon.
Ouimet and Jones both decided they
/ had enough golf for the time being
and the off day was a welcome epoch.
! While anything can happen in golf
| there is a gene,al belief that only six
! or eight from this field have a chance
( to win. On the American side the
most dangerous are Bobby Jones,
Francis Ouimet, Chick Evans, Jesse
Guilford, Bob Gardner and Jesse
Sweetser. Cuimet's chance depends
! largely upon his stamina over the con-
tinued 36-hole route. He is now down
to 143 pounds and the long grind
ahead is as much test of physical
endurance as it is Of golfng skill. The
pressure falls with terrific force after
| Wednesdays play, and the last three
days may find youth in the saddle
Guilford Gardner. Jones and Sweet
ser are among those best qualified to
meet the grind.
Tolley and Hunter Dangerous.
On the British side the two most
dangerous match play figures seem to
be Tolley and Hunter, but Hunter Is
too far out on the ragged edge now TO
| be figured safely in. If Tolley picks
up those smotherinp rounds he had at
the National he will be close to I'M
beatable He is at his best in match
| play golf, and the same is true of
| Hunter. one of the most indomitable
| of them all. Torrance is playing ex-
tremely we'll and SO is Aylmer, while
/ Hooman showed what he could do In
his match against Sweetser last week.
The most dangerous of all the
youngsters, outside of Bobby Jones. is
! Jesse Sweetser, the 20-year-old Yale
star from New York. He is getting
terrific distance from the tee and is
usually straight down the middle, a
winning factor over this course. Only
extremely fine golf will beat him. as
he is now at his best. A much better
golfer than he was Il year ago when he
carried Chick Evans to the 36th green
at st. Louis.
Jones would probably be rated the
most dangerous single entry in the big
hunt as his game is practically flaw
| less in every respect, a rare mixture
of skill and power, of distance and con-
troll. But golf is golf, and there is
| none to say at what black moment
some upset will report to overwhelm
the greatest and leave them faltering
out of the fight If golf were tennis,
Jones would be considered much more
of a favorite than Tilden will be at
! Germantown, but golf and tennis are
not the same.
