victory For the latter by and !. That
and the Knepper-Torrance affair account
eor two of the four close contests. The
others were fought out between Bobby
Jones OF Atlanta and J. J. Beadle of

ing green, Chick Evans. former national
! champion, and John G. Anderson OF

| Il Is on record that these two stars had
fearful battle before victory finally

| The links Of two countries are strewed
with the battle debris from these meet

in the final of the French champion
ship several years ago and they have

championship. Evans won after extra
holes in France. John @. humbled ChicK

still no more than one to the good
| Chick was grinning good nntureuis
about this time as Anderson came back
at him like a terrier-after his most
brilliant efforts to batter down the op-
position About the ninth Evans came
right out loud with word OF praise:
"John." he said, how do you putt like
that
| All day long Anderson worked the
greens to perfection. He holed twelve
footer for half on the eighth in the
afternoon after standing down. and
then won the ninth b. chipping within
two and half feet and holing for 4.
1T was remarkable to find how Ander-
son was outdriving Evans. He was do
ing this consistently. but, then Chick
has cut down his swing byAvay of keep
ing straiehter. The rough knows him
but little these days.
PLAYING his second for the tenth hole
Anderson made a most remarkable
bungIe His ball limped to a trap. but
undismayed John crashed it on 10 the
green so that il squirmed within half
dozen inches OF the cup. The twelfth
went to Evans when Anderson pushed
his tee shot to trap and then at the
thirteenth came the calamitous vista
ton that clinched the match. Ander-
sons ball here dropped to the side OF
the green and embedded itself In the
soft turf.
A ruling made for the occasion enables
players to lift their ball In such an
emergency provided the sphere buries
itself in the moved surface Of the put
ting green. Anderson's ball unfortun-
ateiy was few inches on the putting
surface proper just at that half cut
| shot where the player ponders whether
TO use putter or a mashie.
| .>Anderson was told by one OF the
! officials to use his own judgment Evans
was calling to John TO lift. but An
| derSon thought he understood the rule.
He drew his niblick from the scabbard
and proceeded to chop his way out Of
the tournament. His first blow was
| misjudged and the ball did not
bulge His next barely loosened II.
Evans had the hole In a canter. At
! tho next Chick became dorrnie 4. He
lost the next two but clinched the match
on the seventeenth
Jones Improves EN- Route.
There was time during the forenoon
when It looked as IL Beadle might cause
the upset OF the round by eliminating
Jones. Bobby did no, play well on
those first nine and with a 40 he was
down at the turn. Coming back Jones
gave a display of his best golf He
completed the last nine IN s3 and
squared the match. In the afternoon
the Atlanta star showed a much better
brand of play than he had done earlier
In the day. He was out In rs but a
series Of fine puts and recoveries en-
1 abled Beadle TO cling to him. At the
turn Jones was up. He lost the
eleventh hut for the second time during
the day he laid his tee shot for the
short twelfth stone dead and registered
"a 2. At the thirteenth Jones snatched
another hole. then lost the fourteenth
and picked UP the seventeenth TO close
| the match after standing dormje
/ H. G. Newton has a reputation for
making Il hot for his opponents over
the Broolkline links. To-day he scored
~ and was down to Tolley, tn.
Engliehman playing game OF goif that
would not be denied. All tile way
through the Engllshman disclosed cham
| pionshp qualities His driving was
superb as It usually is and his putting
! was reliable. Only once did he require
an extra stroke on the greens. Among
his outstanding feats Tolley drove cica,
across the roadway at the fifteenth and
at the seventeenth he holed mashie
shot for n 2. He was out in 36 ana
home In 80 In on the first round and
in the afternoon he made tho first nine
holes In SO.
There will be harder work for thu
big guns to-day. One of the stclier
matches will bring Swectser against
Willie Hunter. Z X. NJ. Lewis me sts
Jesse Guilford. the title holder, and
probably feels that he again can tumble
Jesse exactly as he did this. year a..
