1t seems that we have mentioned
before the rivalry between Tammany
Young and One-Eyed Connolly, the
Broadwayite and the globe-trotting
carpet bagging newsboy each of
whom claims, with some reason to
be the champion of all the gate
crashers in this world. 1t must now
be reported that One-Eyed Connolly
stands two up on Mr.. Young and that
his latest achievement had the touch
OF the gate-crashing artist.

their statement was accepted as bona

and Bach elors.
This discovery of marital blisq
came about through the awarding OF
the "Dunmov Fitch" which, being
interpreted refers to the ancient cuss
tom of bestowing slab of bacou
upon the couple who take oath while
kneeling on the famous Dunmov
stones that they have been married
year and day without quarreling
or wishing they were single.
The custom originated in 1874,
since which time only 10 couples are
on record as having qualified for the

SWEETSER'S RISE TO
GOLF FAME ON A PAR
WITHTHAT OF OUIMET
National Champion, Just
II, Americas Best
Bet Abroad.

New York, April 25.-The rise to
golfing fame of Jess William Sweetscr.
national amateur champion. has been
perhaps more sensational than that of
any other member Of the American
team now in Great Britain, with the
possible exception of Francis Ouimet.
He is looked upon as dangerous
competitor for the British amateur IL
tie event, beginning May Z, and bull
wark of the Yankee team which will
defend the Walker international cup
Nav Is and 10.
The 2l-year.old Yale student gave
promise of greatness for several years,
but few experts looked for the phenom-
enally brilliant exhibition last fall at
Brookline that carried him to victory
through one of the finest international
fields that ever competed for the
American amateur title.
Swcctser marched to triumph by de-
feating on successive days Willie Hun
ter. former British amateur champion !;
jess Guilford. the defending American
title holder; Bobby Jones. youthful At
lanta star. and in the final round,
Chick Evans. veteran of many a cham
pNnship campaign.
Earlier in the season, SwcetSer cap
tured the Metropolitan amateur cham
pionship. Picked as member of the
Walker Cup team, which defeated the
Britishers at Southampton. eight
matches TO four, Swectser lost 10 {.
V. l.. Hooman, l up. in a 3i-hole
match. zut, paired with Jones. he van
ouishcd Hooman and W. b. Torrance
in n foursome.
SweetSer first won national recog-
milton in 1920 as intercollegiate cham
pion. He lost this title the next year,
however. in the final round to j. Slmp-
son Dean of Princeton.
His first appearance in the national
amateur was in 1920. at the Engineers
Club. when he fell before Fred Wright,
member of this years invading team:
in the third round. He was eliminated
the next year at st. Louis in the third
round by Chick Evans. Competing the
national open in 1921, he tied for loth
place with 80 strokes.
