Skill Of Roger Wethered Too Much For America's Sole Survivor In British Amateur, And EngIishmen Will Decide Own Title Between Them

DEAL, England, May 11.-Francis Ouimet missed a Sx-fcot putt on the wet grass at the first hole of the Cinque Ports course Friday after noon and thereby permitted two Britishers to fight it out for their own amateur champion ship golf ti- tie.
 It was this miss of an ordinary putt that threw Ouimet off his game and Roger Wethered, the young Brit isher, eliminated him from the play the last American surviving of mere than dozen entrants.
 Wethered's game was as cool and calm as the air after the storm which swept the course during the first part of the match. He took the lead at the first hole, allowed Ouimet to even it up at the sixth hole, and then stepped out in front never to be headed. He beat Ouimet up and l to play.

Ouimet attempted to spurt and tied the match but was thrown down at the turn. The Britisher took the next two and made it four up, making Ouimet's defeat seem meritless. But the Brookline star snapped out of his lethargy and took the fourteenth and fifteenth. but they halved the

The force of the drive was so great that Tommy was knocked off his feet, and he fell face downward into the dirt. For sec- ond he pivoted on his face, his feet in the air. the ball in the dust.

Eddie Ford OF Staten Island, who

as to whether married or unnar-

OF ten married and ten single men.
The exponents OF "single blessed

without plenty of opposition ana

Two of the games Went TO the SIN
gle mems team by such close mar
gins, that it was not until the last
man on both teams had bowled that
the result was known. In the Initial
game of the match the single men
won by a margin of only three pins.
The fact that ten men were bowling
on each side, is PROOF of the even
manner in which the teams We're
divided. Bill Pemherton captured
high score in this game, with 2Sb,

large enough to give his team VIC
