By The Associated Press.
 New York, July 2.-Francis Ouimet and Charles (Chick) Evans two of the three amateur golfers who hold the distinction of having won the American open championship, are among the simon pure entrants to the 192a play to be held next week at Tn- wood, L.

Knep- per. former intercollegiate titleholder and Bobby Jones of Atlanta who fin- ished within a stroke of Gene Sara zen, victor in last years open play.

Before Evans, Jerome Travers. in 1915 led the field at Baltusrol with 2s7. Ouimet was the first amateur to win the open title, capturing the prize in 1913 at Brook line after a memorable play-off of tie with Harry Vardon and Ted Ray, the noted English professionals. The three had tied with a medal of BOA. In the play-of the amateur turned in a card of 72 with Vardon 77 and Ray 7s.
 Last year at Skokie. Jones came within a stroke of the title. Sarazen the winner had a card of 2sS while the Atlanta youth was second in a tie with the veteran John L. Black of California with cards of 2s9.
