Caught Hardest Draw
Sveetser caught the hardest drew
hat any champion ever has known in
saatenr golf, and yet on the final
gsen before a crowd Of over 5000
gectators who paid homages to his
fsmarkabe nerve and skill, he survived
the test with the same keen skill and
the same stoical serenity he showed
from the beginning of the fight. The
fact that Sweetser won is to US un-
Important compared to the fact that
he beat four of the greatest golfers in
be world before he reached the height.
Sweetser was born in Codd County,
n.y. twenty years ego last May. To-
gay his mother, a Kentuckian, followed
every stroke ne played with greater
oagerness and intensity than the
4 rest Of the gallery combined. If there
was airy runner UP in this eagerness it
was his father from New York, but in
the wild rush and the wilder excite
ment over hill and hollow, valley and
knob the two frequently were widely
separated by the big crowd that was
again wonderfully handled by officials
IN charge.
IT was great day for young Jesse,
put 1t was greater day still for the
tsther and mother, who must have been
ulF,lied at every turn by the generous
acclaim paid their son, not only for his
,naSssfy OF wood and iron, but for his
euo1 courageous bearing under heavy
.s j's ron eeginnin~ to end. They saw
