However. swsetser's task OF winning
mi, much coveted prize aas scarcely
ssgun N defeating Gailfora, the
champion, the Siwanoy youth CLIMBED
aver one mountainous obstacle and
gained splendid advantase posas Tor
N. Anal drive. But before he can ever
reach that goal he must overcome 'as
m.rvelous Bobby Jones and either the
a..hy Rudy Ensepsr or the STEADY
goinr and experienced "Chlcs Evans
Thus the problem confronting tho New
York youth is one that oniy led with
brave hssst can meet without despair
II sweesser ever gets BY the next two
rounds he will indeed be champion,
Jones the Big Obstacle
ii must be confessed that Sweetser's
chances Of defeating Jones are not
t;ntsa with pink or any similar color.
Swsetser has played wonderful golf
sh;s week 10 60 to the semi Anal round
and deserves every bit of praise and
credit that IS being accorded his
achievements. But he has not per
formed any better than Jones has, and
She way the latter is travelling right
sow, gives one the impression the man
sho beats this lad will be the winner
II the tournament.
In every match, especially those in
Fhleh the contestants are about equal
4hsre are certain breaks that generally
decide the issue. Bostoniaus claim
hat Guilford was stymied to death.
Such, however, was not quite the case.
Sweetser's chip shot that dropped
into the cup on the fourth hole in the
afternoon was blow to Guilford that
vas entirely unexpected But it must
also be remembered on this same hole
the champion pumped his third into
trap, very bad miss. On the sixth
hole the Bostonian fell down on an 49,
inch putt and that indeed was blow.
For had he holed that putt he would
have won the hole and would have been
only three down at a point where he
would have had q chance for come
back. When he knocked Sweetser's
bali into the cup at the ninth trying
to get around stymie and became five
down his chances for victory were
practically nil.
Robby's Long Putt Deadly
Jones in his match with McPhail
sank long putt at a critical stage that
virtually upset his opponent and
clirlehed matters. Up to the twelfth
hole the Bostonian had made a real
battle 81 the match. He was only one
down here Jones ran down 20-foet
afsgiving him a lead of two up. Only
aout heart could stand that kind of
az. McPhail, endeavoring to smash
ii drive equal to his opponents on the
asr. tee, hooked sharply to the stone
ssl and became three down.
Undoubtedly the break in the FOLEY
knepper match came on the fifteenth
hole. The American was bit graggy
from the Briton's wonderful rally and
vas trying desperately to hold his
skimpy lead of one hole. He sliced
sharply but got home with his second,
mashie iron, and rammed a long putt
INTO the cup for win and lead of
two Up.
The putt rather than the fact that
knepper's ball struck spectator, drop
ping to fairly good lie, was the break
u our opinion, because it is likely
knepper could have got home in any
event.
In the Evans Gedehaux match there
was no outstanding factor that turned
The tide, for the Chieagean had the
upper hand all the way and was never
IN danger on the second round.
