defeat. Two others. S. Dawson Har-

Numbered among the ~ ambitious
amateurs who failed today were
Jesse Sweetzer, the American cham
pion, and Robert A. Gardner, captain
of the American team, on whom high
hopes had rested. Neither played
well in the wind that was blowing to-
day, a wind that killed many fond

that in getting drubbed they received

California crushed 5 up and
to play.
The vigorous young Jimmy" John
ston never bothered his head about
terrible gusts off the channel that
seemed so much to irritate Sweetser.
Johnston was on. under tours for
eleven holes. and chat was all he had
to play today, as by that time he was
nine up on his opponent, II. S. Hol-
den.
Rotan rushed through almost as
rapidly. Perhaps he would have at
tanned Johnston's speed had he not
lost the third hole, whare N he had mui
seven or had he been less badly
bunkered on the fifth, where he took
sin to sink his ball. For the rest of
the route Rotan romped along like a
record smasher, picking up a half
dozen threes on the way to sandwich
between his fours. He was out in SO
and was one under fours on the last
five holes

task he completed only on the home
hole.
Stars Knocked Out.
The sidetracking of Sweetser and
Gardner constituted the sad story of
the day. Sweetser was soundly
knocked out of the tournament by
Noel Layton of the Royal Cinque-
ports club. who writes golf for mag
azines and knows every dip and
curve in the Deal course, because it
is his home club. Layton disposed
of Sweetser by score of and 8.
Gardner had the satisfaction of
going all the way to the eighteenth
hole before passing out, two down.
Forester once was captain of the
oxford golfers and after graduation
went to India. where in 1921 he won
the championship of the colony.
Gardner during the play could not
make his irons behave and his puts
would not go down as he would have
liked them to go. The American was
two down at the fourth, but he
pulled himself together and at the
turn was one up. Forester evened
things, and honors changed several
times up to the fourteenth, after
which Gardner could not make his
putter sink the ball, losing the fiji
teenth, seventeenth and eighteenth.
