BRooKLINE, Mass, Sept 5.-The sun
shone again to-day o fter Mondays cata-
clysm.c deiuge anc 5rookline was trim,
radiant and snil.rt- as ever The course
made wonderful recovery and the putt
ing greens were keen and beautiful.
Watching was pleasure and the stand
>ard OF play seemed to me as l fitted
frcn match 10 mat tch very high. Time
and again the ball from a long iron shot
would be righ. on the flag to give the
player putt for three. and since spec
tators seem to think that every good
shot deserves a round Of applause they
were kept very busy and made the
woods resound again
At the end OF the day two British
golfers survived Mr.. W. L. Hunter, who
had been in the gravest jeopardy of net
qualifying to-day. won his first match
very easily and Of the British team. Mr..
Tolley had triumphant passage. beat
ing Mr.. Newton by IL and 3. Never
at home have / seen him play so well
as he Is playing now. His driving is as
straight as an arrow. his whole game
solid, confident and accurate
Mr. Newton is q good golfer but y
short driver and his puts would not
drop. In the circumstances 1t was mas
sacre rather than match. Mr. Aylmett
went down fighting hard before Mr..
Ouimet. who played almost as brutally
well against him as in the international
match. Mr.. Ouimet had a 20 in the
morning but Mr.. Aylmer chung on splen-
didly and did not give in till the 32d
hole. Mr.. Ouimet is regarded as vet
eran in this country of tramplipg exult-
ant youth. They say Re cannot hast
fhrnttul, ha aaIr Art.n fr,,.
the way is long and hard and he has not
the physique OF Mr.. Guilford. but he is
still a great force and matchless artist
near the hole.
Mr.. Torrance Disappointed.
MIR. Torrance had disappointing
day of it In losing to MIR. Knepper after
having been once six up. In the morning
he played beautifully. ran Off with the
first five holes and still had this lead in
tact at lunch. Afterwards. he faded a
little and Mr.. Knepper played gallantly.
At the turn four holes had been Topped
or and with five to play. the match was
square. Mr.. Torrance rose to the occa-
sion, hoied good putt and took the
lead. He was now one up with three to
play and the short sixteenth settled it.
Both were on the green.
Mr.. Torrance putted first and his putt
seemed certain to go in but the ball
sidled away on the last inch. Had II
gone in, humanity speaking. ! think he
would have won. As 1t was. Mr. Knep-
per holed out in the like for two. fol-
lowed this UP with a brilliant three at
the 18th and faultless four at the last.
So the American turned defeat into vic
tory and won by two holes at the last.
Mr.. Knepper is rather a. curious

very short grip of the club and re-
tanning this full swing even for short
iron shots. Whether or not he is or
thodox there is no doubt that he is very
good and he should give Mr. Ouimet n
great run tomorrow As he Is only
about, twenty -one. he can hardly be con-
sidered TOO old.
Evans Beats Old Friend.
All the big guns of American golf
survive. most OF them but not all with
out effort. Mr.. Guilford. Mr.. Gardner.
and Mr.. Sweetser, had no serious
trouble, but Mr.. Evans and Mr.. Jones
had to fight for their lives. Mr.. Evans
beat an old friend well known in Eng
land, Mr.. John Anderson. Many years
ago i saw these two men meet at Gar
den City and Mr. Anderson won after
ptiiS oHt uONH Ut iuTCH. lie was one
down at lunch again to-day. but history
did not repeat itself and Mr. Evens got
home on the 35 green. The play was
very good throughout and at the be-
ginning positively scintillating. Mr..
Evans began Q 4 3 3. 1t was enough to
break any heart less stout than Mr..
Anderson's, and G.. II. Taylor who was
watching was almost bereft OF the
power OF exclamation.
Mr.. Bobby Jones was chased almost
to his last gasp by Mr. Beadle young
golfer from the public links of Phila-
delphia, and q very fine and courageous
young golfer too. Mr.. Beadle was two
up at the turn. but Mr.. Jones came
home in 80 TO square the first Is holes.
In the afternoon. he played faultlessly
and yet he could not get away. 1t was
fine test for Mr.. Jones temperament
and very well he came out of IT, He
went on playing beautifully within him
self at once rapidly and very leisurely
and he always seemed just to have the
inside turn. But he had no more and
Mr. Beadle deserves infinite credit.
With Mr.. Guilford and Mr.. Jones IN
one half OF the draw and Mr.. Ouimet and
Mr.. Tolley in the other there is every
prospect OF some great games. That
the scores win be brilliantly low is a
foregone conclusion.
