May 29.-Jess Sweetser of

The match ended on the

up and 5 to play. Sweetser
pthus becomes. the first native

For a time during the morning

Of his opponent, who was playing IN
his first international tournament.
when the afternoon round was
fairly under way, it was seemingly
a question only as to how many holes
Simpson would be able to hold out
before he cracked under the strain.
The crack came at the 9th hole,
when he did about everything a golf

Meanwhile the former Yale star,
keeping his head, went along the
even tenor of his golfing way and
played his best
The Scotchman went from bad to
worse, and the end came at the 3lst
hole. Sweetser's victory was given
generous cheers by the sportsmanlike
crowd, and some American "rah-rahs :"
were heard from his fellow contry-
men in the big gallery, estimated at
5000, that followed the match.
