through, for when you once step over
twenty In one of these championship
tests Time hoists It's beckoning fore

saturday four survivors face the semi

Jesse Sweetser, of New York; Rudy

Evans, of Chicago, will sharpen their
Aeen blades to morrow morning for the
Sseml-fnal sefimmage, where the first
lnree have just turned twenty and the
otner, as things now go, is deep in the
twilight Of gelfpg age. There was a
Gay when we thought thirty three was
jMrly bneyant, between morning and
nigh noon, but that day has passed
alter the sights we have seen through
the last two days.
There were four great battles among
the surviving eight, where Jones
stopped young William McPhal after
hard night; Exams oyerpowered the
game and long hitting Godchaux, and
Rudy knepper, by beating Cyril Tolley,
extended Sioux City's dominion from
Boston on to the lights of London. But
the big shock of the day when Jesse
sweetser, the youngest man left, two
nionths this side of Bobby Jones,
dipped the crown off Jesse Guilford's
aStonished brow. Gailford, who won at
st. Louis year ago and led the medal
held on Monday with rare 10, found
his purple toga rudely torn from his
broad shoulders and wrapped for the
moment at least, around the tall form
OF the metropolitan champion who re-
ports from Siwanoy and Yale.

Guilford, who knows every blade Of
grass that Broekline grows, was fig

of the field IN E test where typical
stamina meant so much. But, carrying
lead Of 2 UP around the middle stretch
of the match, he found his feet cut
from beneath him by remarkab BILE
stretch of golf where, from the six
teenth hole in the morning to the
tenth hole in the afternoon, the New
York star played twelve consecutive
holes in FIVE strokes under even 4s.

Anepper Sinks I8-Foot Putt After Fluke Shot
Which CarOms OF a SDecafoy's RacAc

FOLEY here was only down after
a great uphill fight. His prodigious
tee shot carried the road, ESQ yards
away. Knepper sliced badly, but as his
bali was scurryng into the heavy rough
l65 yards from the rap-guarded green
it struck one of the roadest backs we
ever saw, bounded over the rough and
lay by the parallel roadside in COM
Portable lie. Look outi" some one
shouted, here comes Knepper's ball"
Every one ducked and scurried, but
there was still one spine in the way
when the ball arrived, and upon this
bent over spine the ball struck with a
resonant thamp 1t must have bounded
ten feet into the air, we'll over to the
right, caroming over the matted grass
to an open spot. From this lie Knepper
by fine shot reached the green and
then sank his eighteen footer for q 8.
Such are the fortunes of war. golf
and existence in general. 1t is upon
such minor twists that fate exists
There is some discussion as to whether
the ball struck any one here, but we
happened to be standing within ten
feet of the spot between Leon Enrol
and Charley Buell., the Harvard foot
ball captain, and it was our combined
opinion that some spectator would have
sore spine for several days to come
There was Il frantic effort on every
ones part to clear the way, but the
broad back usually catches the burden
This one turn might have easily made
the difference of two holes in the sum-
mary, for Tolley got his par where
the gallant Rudy from this tangled
patch would certainly have had to bat
tie for his, and no chance whatever fol
birdie 3. Yet even in the face OF
that tough break, Tolley refused to
weaken, holding on at the short six
teenth with fine 3. and becoming
only l down when Knepper overap-
preached at the seventeenth, and finally
picked up.
The concluding green was the scene
Of intense drama. BY this time all
four galleries had combined into one
wild, surging sweep of humanity, ad
mirably handled by the marshals OF
the course. In thickly packed ranks
they swung from tee to green, 420 yards
apart long, long lane between two
eNpeetant, keyed up lines. Both mer
struck off fine. long tee shots down

slightly on ahead

Gutlford Wovering and Far BeloaU Form
IA SsCeetser Wins Three Holes Iva Roao

trailing, Guilford could feel the old
crown rocking on his head. He must
have felt the fastenings we're no longer
firmly held. But the big crash came
al the third hole in the afternoon,
where the tall New Yorker the first
in years since the days of the i'm
mortal Trayers to reach the semi
finals, started another winning rally.
Sweetser won three holes in a row
with Guilferd still wavering and far
below his normal form. The worst
blow came at the fifth, where Sweetser
was trapped on his second, barely
emerged on his third and then holed
Ills chip shot for d. This left Gull
ford A down. and lit was plainly tbs
beginning Of the end, as the younger
Jesse refused to weaken in the slight
est, He had his big. hrawny grip on
the champions throat and refused to
let go at any stage. He was riding the
crest, with the champion struggling to
hold on, and Guilferd's final bid was
stopped on the fifteenth green by an
ether stymie after he had won two
straight holes.
Thirteen may be unlucky for some
penpis but after this it will be Cyrii
Tollef's favorite number In the fore
noon, when he was still down and strug-
Cling to get back, the Englishman put
his second shot here dowH against the
bunker hank, we'll short of the green.
As he was A down here and Knepper
was on the green he looked to be 5
down and hopelessly crushed He had
q great shot to get even close to the
pin, but he played a still greater shot
By holeing his pitch, winning hole
that he had lost.
In the afternoon Toliey came to tire
same hole down and TO play. His
tee shot caught trap and his put
left him full pitch to the green. AS

pm. FOLEY, to keep away from the big
oak at the right, hooked too much to
the left From this spot, fifty feet
away, he made brave effort to hole
ms chip shot, the ball passing only an
inch above the cup, to stop five feet
away, Knepper,s approach putt ran
three feet below the rim. Tolley's final
attempt Tipped the cup, but refused to
drop, and the last of the invading
Brltons had checked his mace for good
and all, leaving the field to the South,
West and East in one of the greatest
intersectional climaxes golf has ever
known.
While all this was taking place Bobby
Jones again found himself with both
hands and pair of arms full of
trouble.
In any golf championship Thursday
is always the day when nerves reach
their rawest stage and the pulse begins
to jump sideways. 1t is combination
CT the physical and mental strain, the
long, hard grind under heavy nervous
pressure. Even the usually serene and
stoical Guilford showed the effects by
his poor putting and by bad break
down n his short game play. The same
strain hit Jones after two hard matches
against Beadle and Gardner.
The young Georgian was playing we'll
enough up to the green, but when it
came to getting an approach stone dead
or holding the three-footers he found
his old touch was completely lost. He
took three puts on several green's
where MePhail, who has been one of
the sensations of the tournament, was
putting extremely well, to put it gently.
AS a result of this turn Jones found
himself all square at the end of
eighteer holes and only 1 up at the
twenty
The big turn came at the long
eleventh and short twelfth. McPhail
had his chance to square the match
at the eleventh, where he took 3 puts
from within fourteen feet. At the short
elfth McPhail Tipped the cup from
rom forty feet away for his 2, when
8obby turned the tide by sinking his
> from twenty feet. Before this double
assault McPhail finally broke down
after one of the hardest battles of the
game. His next two tee shots were
struck far off the line and Jones i'm
,mediately closed out the engagement
to rest up for his coming contest
against Sweetser, one of the big fea-
lures of Fridays play.

AS in the case in the seniors, which
will be decided tomorrow, the corr
petitors come from all parts Of the
country, but despite the many FUN
snowns' it is generally believed that
the team trophy will remain IN its
present henle at the New York A. G..
The Winged Footers" are particularly
strong, having any number of clever
performers Wig have not as yet an
nexed o seHior title.
1t is expected that more than 200
athletes will swing into action in the
Gree meet and In all likelihood the
attendance record of $4,000 for the
three-day affair will be broken. OF
course, much will depend upon the
weather, particularly as TO Hashy per-
formances. but the track appeared in
good conditions Yesterday afternoon,
when many of the boys toek their last
work cut, and if there is no heavy
rain several new marks will be mgfle.

Young Frank Godchanx. another
twenty-year- old star from New Or
leans and Vanderbilt, finished d down
to Chick Evans in the forenoon. But
the Southern star refused to weaken
against the Old Master, who is now al
most thirty-four years old We still
fail to understand how any one at this
advanced and gray whiskered age is
still banging around this champion
ship, but Chick has been doing some
thing more than hanging around-he
has been playing close to the best golf
of the entire lot, as sure, as steady
and as relentlessiy in his pressure as
he were only eighteen or twenty.
--cdchauA gave Evans an even battle
in the afternoon, cutting q lead of
seven holes to four before he finally
gave way before greater experience
and finer work around the green
The Guilford -Sweetser contest, the
battle of the tall and willowy Jesses
was full of stirring features. Both
began raggedly around the greens.
There was a gasp of aston ishmeTit
when Guilford missed a two-footer on
the second and became down. On
the third Sweetser took three puts
from twelve feet, "a half stymie crowd
ing him off line. Things moved along
IN hundrun1 fashion to the sixteenth.
Here Guilford was 2 up and resting
easy. Neitfer had shown a flash OF
championship form until, without
warning, Sweetser seemed to make up
his mind that it was about time to cast
the grenade He canned q . on the
sixteenth, slipped in a on the seven
teenth for another win, End then took
the head by a great 8 on the. hard
eighteenth. after fine drive, firmly
played approach and twenty-foot pitt.

knepper was on in two, Tolley again
looked to be distanced but on this oe-
casion he holed a 30-footer for his 4
where knepper took three puts. Once
again he had saved two holes by almost
miraculous recoveries, for he was now
only 2 down with quite q stretch Of
fairway left. This quick shift threw
knepper of his balance as he hooked
his tee shot to the fourteenth up
against the rock wall and conceded
the hole.
When the report went out that Toll
ley was only / down, galleries from
all over the course began romping to
the scene of action to follow the Star .
and Stripes and the Union Jack planted
out where the rival drives would light.
Having lost our original bodyguard
of Tack HardWick and Sam FELTON, iii

In spite of Rudy's fine golf and his

Choppy Sea to Liking
and Outs ails Cola

Main interest in the New York Yacht
Clubs regatta yesterday for the autumn
cups was the fact that the British six
meter yachts started, four of which
yachts in this class will sail series
of team races with an American team.
The race was sailed over a triangular
course on Long Island Sound from a
line between Prospect and Motifs Point
to Hampstead Harbor
In all twenty-five starters got under
way in northeast wind that whipped
up, quite sea. Apparently conditions
suited the Britishers. The Reg found
the weather position from the start, but
at the first mark Cola had slight
advantage in time. With Jean and
Caryl the four boats drew together as
they neared the Parsonage, Cola hav-
ing slight lead. AT this point the
Reg started to overhaul the leader and
finally dew away, winning by / minute
and 4 seconds, with Cola second, 10
seconds ahead of the Jean.

The .Bostonians haven't any more
racial pride Or community spirit than
st. Louis. st. Louis hasn't any more
than Cleveland. Cleveland hasn't nearly
as much as San Francisco or Los An
geies. But all of them have New York
backed off the map in this respect.
They are still abiding the defeat of
Guilford and the others.
Cyril Tolley has made a big hit
here, not only by his wonderful drsv-
ing prewess, but by his fine sports
manship. He can lose and. win with the
best of them. He is stolid always, but
his demeanof on the links alone wins
him friends.
Study Knepper is much like Telley.
He sees nothing, hears nothing, says
nothing ever. but continues always at
work like a little Trojan. He simply
plugs along. Knepper is in this tour
nament to play golf and TO date he has
done that AS we'll as, il not little bet
ter than, anybody else.
We have never seen anybody play
out of the rough as easily as this fell
low Tolley. He lifts golf ball out
OF the tall and uncut with the same
ease and nonchalance he shows in
walking
None, not even Bobby Jones, has
been straighter in his tee shots or iron
shots all week than Chick" Evans. He
hasn't the power of the three others
who are in the semi-fnal round, but
you don't need great deal of power to
get around this course.

showing here this week Jones,
