Jesse Sweetser, national amateur
champion, seemed certain OF Quail
flying, returning total Of Is for the
morning round. After his disap.
pointing AZ for the first nine, he
came in with splendid SO for total
Of IS. He played each of the last
nine holes in four. His card was:
A a 444 4-36
Next in interest to the Kirkwood-
Sweetser pair were John Black,
who was second at Skohie and
Francis Ouimet, just back from his
good work overseas.
Ouimet appeared shaken by miss
ing a putt OF less than foot for
a four at the second and dropped
a shot at the third and another at
the fourth where his second stroke
was trapped.
Black did better, being but two
worse than fours for six holes
whereas Ouimet was six worse.
/ Cards, first nine:
Ouimet. $3.50. ass 654 $50
Black. ....... 544 544 344-37

Nothing would go right for Sweet
ser. The amateur champion was
trapped with his second to the first
hole and took five. He got his
par four by holing a long putt al
the second, but his brassie to the
third green got too high in the
wind and started floating. It drIrt.
ed into a trap and another five
resulted.
At the long fourth, he missed his
second completely, and was short
with his third, taking a six.
Another costly hole to Sweetser
was the short seventh, where he
required a five, his drive being
against the out Of bounds fence
'and so badly placed that he was
just able to get it on the fairway.
