has struck out. Francis Ouimet,
hero Of the famous play-off with
vardcn and Ray, and the former
national amateur champion. is to-
day out Of the picture. The ma
tional amateur tournament Of 1922
will know him no more. All Bos-
ton, particularly. is sorry. for'l
Francis is the idol Of the Boston
ians and they had confidently ex-
pected he would be playing in the
final round.
Ouimet met his fate at the hands
of sturdy Rudy Knepper, young
product OF the west, who staged
such remarkable comeback
against the Englishman, Torrance,
on Tuesday. The fallen idol did
not play with. anything like the
spirit of his former contests. Twice
during the afternoon round he
topped his shots, losing two holes
in consequence and then lady luck
was not with him for he lost two
other holes because Knepper laid
him stymies which made it impos-
sible for him to hole out. Besides
this, Knepper played with an en-
ergy and certainty that seemed in
striking contrast to Ouimet's eff
forts.
But, even with Ouimet out, the
slate today contains the name OF
players who from the first have
been regarded as possible winners.

"Chick" Evans, who had the good
fortune to find a place in the draw
which gave him rather squashy
field to contend against, had no diff

the veteran, who won the amateur
championship on the Brookline
course 10 years ago. Chick ought
