The Bostonians are parting with
their tokens after saving for weeks
against this eyentful week. What
saddons them is that they haven't a
representative left. Francis Ouimet
went out yesterday and to-day the
pride OF Clyde street and the Hub gen
orally was followed by big Jesse Gull
ford, tho Boston siege gun, which
spouted fire and flame so ezectuall
last year at st. Louis. but which to-
day in the third round was Knocked
out Of commission by New York's own
golfing Jesse. TO wit. Jesse Sweetser of
Siwanoy, holder OF the Metropolitan
amateur championship. The margin
OF this match was and 3.
Hub Elimination Completed.
And then as If the defeat of the siege
gun Jess were not enough for one day,
w. #. McPhail. another son OF the Bay
State, hailing from Norfolk, Mass. was
eliminated by Bobby Jones. Bills de-
feat was looked for however. He has
been one of the surprises of the tourna-
ment and fellow with the sticking
qualities of ante-bellum mucilage. He
was beaten In the long run ~ Jones. 4
and 8, but he gave Robert an awful
chase. Incidentally and . was the
popular markin. for 1t was at the ff-
tecnth that Charles Evans. Jr. stamped
the passports of Frank Godchaux and
left the Southern runner up free to de-
part for that far away port of New Or
leans whenever he feels like il.
For the semi-finals. then. it will be
Sweetser against Jones in the upper half
and Evans versus Knepper in the lower
bracket. In passing IL might be re-
marked that Evans defeated Knepper in
the final OF last years Western cham
pionship.
But Boston isn't worrying tonight
about what happened in the West a year
ago. Boston has found plenty to worry
about right at home this week. More
over, Boston has about decided that the
chip is mightier than the putt and
that the conqueror OF their own favorite.
Guilford. Is the best little chipper-in in
captivity.

Swectser chipped In from bunkers and

at II. and as the golden haired young
giant from Siwanoy turned his daily

sponges. That happened at the fifth
hole In the afternoon and 1t nailed the
tail of the sacred COD TO the well known

il Is necessary to turn first to the
