sweetser Convincea skepties.
To-day they have seen Sweetser walk
again to the mouth of the cave. challenge
and slay the last remaining dragon They
saw man who could outdrive the Chi
cagoan consistently. an artist who could
Letter his fine approaches and who could
criplay him on the greens. Few skeptics
remain.
Tonight they are singing the praises
| OF Sweetser and even the Atlanta dele
cation is feeling better These latter
realize at least that their pride and joy,
Bobby Jones, fell before a great golfer.
And the way in which Sweetser
to-day beat the best OF Evans's shots
TO the green's was a revelation, 1t
4 knocked the dope into a cooked hat. They
looked for Chick to be outdriven. But
said they: Superiority from the tee ac-
tually is going TO be a boomerang for
Sweetser. Wait until he sees what he
has to match In these great seconds OF
Evanss."
This is where prediction went all
wrong. Many a time Evans sent a
singing iron to the pin. Sometimes he
was inside. but not often. Invariably
Sweetser played shot equally good il
not better.
Those who saw the match never will
forget how this worked out at the ti,ir-
teenth this afternoon. Evans had won
the eleventh and was only down.
He had lost the twelfth and was again
down. Stin he had tasted success
and his appetite once more was whetted
He was playing the odd from the CEN
ter OF the fairway on the thirteenth and
he hit one of his best. an arrowl!ke shot
that sped the ball about eight feet to
the left of the flag pin.
All down the fairway the crowd was
| dense. The spectators were packed be-
hind the players and around the green
at which they were aiming. A roar went
up that was like the wind in the pines.
There was the effort of master and a
game man battling back at a relentless
! opponent. But the roar that greeted
Chicks shot was as nothing compared
to that which broke loose a moment
later.
Evans's Doom Sealed.
That shot did not worry Sweetser In
the least In moment his ball was on
Its way and down it came closer to the
cup than that of Evans. Evans putted
and missed. With unerring aim Sweet
| ser followed up that brilliant iron stroke
with putt that sealed the doom OF the
Chicagoan. Chick was down and to
play. Against that sort of golf he did
not have n chance. He seemed TO real
| ize this much.
AS they turned from the thirteenth
green every one realized that they had
seen the champion win the title. They
realized also that Evans was defeated.
Chick played gamely along to the four
| tenth. He was beaten from the tee as
he had been all day long. He had TO
use wood for his second while Sweetser
took an iron. 1t was q magnificent
stroke that Evans made here, his BAH

had to chip from dip in the hummocks

For this hole the Chicagoan once more

crowd around the green sent UP another
cheer. There was no cheer for Sweetser
this time. His ball had fallen a trifle

A Champion Is Crowned.
/ That sent the match TO the sixteenth.
/ 81, To-
the corner OF the woods, that they
crowned Sweetser champion. The honor
was with Evans and Sweetser had to
match his shot. Evans laid his ball
within ten or a dozen feet to the left OF
the flag pin.
Sweetser was slightly further or and
with only a slightly longer putt. Jess
rolled the ball down to the lip of the
cup and once again left it to Chick. That
ball just had to be holed to do the least
bit of good. However. Evans was scarce
ly equal to the occasion.
