amateur player I'm tho world. and
Check Evans. holder of many titles.
He beat Bobblc Jones eight down
and seven 70 play-the worst licking
Jones ever had. And Jones was
playing great golf all the way. For
the second nine I'm the morning and
the first nine In the afternoon Jones
had a medal of 20 shots, yet OF tho
20 holes played Jones had only two.
Sweetser won 10 and tho rest were
halved.
II was in the first round against
Jones, at the second hole, that Sweet
ser dropped his gO-yard mashic into
the cup. In the first nine holes in
Sweeiscr won six. Then coming IN
Jones rallied and played the nine in
80 stroHes-two under par-and with
all that magnificent play was able
TO win only one hole and halve eight.
When Jesse Swcetsor met Chick
Evans, the veteran, IN tho final
match, the dope around Boston was
that the Yale boy had shot his head
OFF, in the earlier matches and was
sure TO break down ana prove an
easy victim Tor Chick. Evans had
won the title twice ana had been
In the scmifinals nine times. Against
this record Sweetsor's performances
were those OF a novice.

Yet the youngstcr set such a pace
that Evans never took the lead
from start TO finish, and after leav-
ing the first tee was even only once

Evans is regarded as unoquallcd IN
iron play. =
At the thirteenth hole in the aft
ernOon Evans laid about l70 yards
from the green, and Swcctsrr 10
yards nearer after the drive. Evans
placed a spoon shot within eight
yards OF the pin and smilingly
turned to Swoctscr. thinking the hole
safely won. Sweetscr shot high
mashie and dropped his ball three
feet nearer than Chicks,
In putting tho two were about
equal, except that SWoctscr hOled
his long puts when he needed them
most Starting the afternoon round
the gallery expected 10 see Evans
overcOCe Jcssic's lead. AZ the first
hole Swectscr twice shot into tho
rough but shot his thlrd 10 the
third was only two feet from the
cup. And Swcctscr holed his putt.
1T wasn't any use shooting against
a bird who can recover after two
bad shots and halve holes I'm p1r
when I've got 'em won" Evans said
later.
Sweetser is modest. when the
championship was won be told
friends he was more surprised than
anyone else. Iio went "a BrOOkliuc
hoping TO have some good sport ana
make a fair showing, but hadn't
dreamed Of winning the title.
The figures Of the champions
show the astonishing game Swootsor

in all his matches. That was when

champion had two hole lead carly
