Day Crowded With Thrills
All in all it was day of thrills,
drama and scalp lifting climaxes such
az golf alone can produce for those
who know and love the ancient game.
while Knepper was beating Ouimet
and Sioux City was lifting. its victor,
ans banner over Boston's standard
George Aulbach, Boston public-course
eolfer, was using his putter almost ex-
elusively to throw heavy shock most
II the way into the stout-hearted sys-
tenn Of Cyril James Hastings Tolley,
the big British golfer, who meets Rudy
Knepper on Thursday morning.
Tofley was figured victor, but two
things happened to upset the schedule,
The iong-hitting 0xfordian lost con-
troll of his tee shots in the forenoon
heat and Aulbach insisted upon holing
out every putt as far away as he could
see the cup. When your wooden shots
90 bad and develop spotty moments as
your opponents putter turns into Mer-
iin,s wand Of wizardry and magic there
is always trouble ahead.
TelIey came to the twenty-seventh
hole down, but the heavy rain storm
which flooded the course, the players
and the galleries gave him a better
Lo II oS
and the mouse, as the two looked
physically, Tolley finally fought his
way into q safe lead and came through
victorious.
While all this was taking place Bob
Gsrdner, of Chicago, was giving Bobby
Zones another desperate fight, fight
that Jones won, and 2, by a great
rally and sound finish in par golf.
Rain Floods Course in Afternoon
At this moment it seems to be
f.ting time to recapitulate and check
rack on the shifting tides of fortune.
n the first place the morning came
"a with another spray of golden sun
shine that at certain moments was
entirely too steamy for comfort. In
The afternoon, as the first match
started, another torrential downpour
broke over the course and for two
hours fairly drenehed every one in
sight.
Once again it was fully as wet as the
middle Of the Atlantic or Pacific, which
ever you prefer, and we recall no other
occasion where as many costly pieces
Of feminine headgear dropped so drear-
ly and dipped in such bedraggled fash
ION before what Ring Lardner has prob
ably by now nicknamed "the fury of
the elements" Yet the big Boston gall
leries stood up before the shock gamely
and slogged their way through the driv-
ing rain to follow every shot that q
fayorite struck.
AS result Of the days summary the
intersectional and International pro-
gram realms ali its spectacular ele-
ments. The New England district has
Guilford and McPhail, the West has
Evans and Knepper, the South has
Jones and Godchaux, the New York dis

VINO may yet carry the Union Jack a
dangerous distance through this field.
