EMPEROR INSPIRED
AGAINST SWEETSER
Figures to Square Defeat
of 1922-Seaver Real
Hero of Tourney.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.

4 ' i rangy, bespectacled lad
with the serious express
sion of a scientist, against hand
some young blonde giant with the
torso of a Hercules, and the i'm
mortal Bobby Jones against re-
juvenated jess Sweetser. That
was the lineup today as the ma
tional amateur golf championship
moved into its semi-final phase
in what is to be looked upon as
the easiest golf imbroglio that
Jones ever has won.
The tall lad wearing glasses with the
serious mein of a gazer into the realm
of pure science is Eugene Romans Of
New York. The youthful giant whom
he met today was young Carlisle Seaver
from the Pacific Coast, to date the hero
of this mans tournament and destined
If any mans destiny moves along an
unruf1ed path, to meet the great Jones
In the final tomorrow. Seaver is the
youngster of destiny in this tournament.
No doubt about that, for the young
man with blond locks and the good
looks of a movie actor from his own
California got into the tournament by
over the field since then with all the
impressiveness of a tornado. Seayer
and Romans should put up grand
golf match today. And we do not mean
that Jones and Sweetser will not put
up great golf game.
Jones Has Dander Up.
Bobby has been moving down the OPP
position with Indifferent golf, faced his
old-time enemy today with fire in his
eye And, furthermore. Bobby has never
had q crack at jess Sweetser since the
New York broker gave him handsome
trimming at Brookline in 1922. Bobby
has waited eight years for this chance.
and 1t Is here today. Sweetser beat him
by 8 and at Brookline. Watch Bobby
beat Sweetser by as much or more
todayl
Jones has yet to turn on the heat in
this golf tournament He has been con-
tent to loaf along and let the other fell
low make the mistakes that bring the
jones boy home. Bobby applied the
pressure for a few holes in the first
round, but he was content yesterday
TO loaf along and let Fay Coleman beat
himself. Bobby always was inside from
tee TO green, and the other lad wore
his heart out waiting for Jones to make
Jones did not make them. Jones did
have two 3-putt green's in the alters
noon something you will seldom see
him do in a national championship,
but the match was in and he knew it.
AL he had to do was to knock his ball
TO the middle of the green and let
Coleman make the mistakes, and that
Is just what he did.
But Bobby has yet to turn on the
heat. He viii do 1t today If he ever did,
for he wants revenge for that Brook
line licking. And when and IL he does,
jess Sweetser viii take it on the chin
and like 1t. Bobby was not right yes
terday. He was around in rs over the
first round and was up. He was out
in 81 In the afternoon and UP. And
even though Coleman won the elev-
enth and twelfth with brides, his par
don had come too late. Bobby knocked
him Of right in the shadow Of the club
house on the thirteenth green.
Baby Is Gracious.
Just before Bobby stepped up to the
putt which he knew would end the
match he looked up in the sky to the
west, where lowering clouds bespoke a
thunderstorm that developed Is min
utes later, and he knocked the ball
stone dead. shook hands with Coleman,
smiling that gracious Jones smile, and
Bobby had entered the seni-finals.
Out there In front Of them jess
Eweetser had Maurice Mccarthy all
softened up for the kill. Every one
thought that the Metropolitan amateur
champion, who used to play at the
Washington Golf and Country Club.
would take big Jess. But Sweetser, who
hasn't shown trace of the man-killing
form he uncovered eight years ago. came
to life against the big Georgetown
graduate In the afternoon and beat him
IN IA holes, winning by and 4. Maybe
that overtime Won Elm match had worn
Mccarthy out. The fact is that Maurice
faded away in the afternoon, missing
the greens with his shots at the short
holes, losing to q birdie at the seventh
and playing golf far below that he
showed to trounce Won Elm. Mccarthy
simply was beaten by a better man.
There Is no other way to figure It, Jess
was better In the pinches than the
former Georgetown golf and basket ball
captain. Mccarthy was l up at noon,
but jess wiped that out at the first hole
in the afternoon, went into the lead
on the fifth and won the seventh and
ninth. Maurice lost the eleventh and
twelfth and the match ended on the
fourteenth.
Romans Wins Quickly.
Meanwhile the studious looking
Romans was romping all over Johnny
Lehman, the Western amateur cham
pfon. Romans was 4 up at noon and
quickly ended the match in the after
noon, largely through Lehmans in
different golf on the first nine holes
Romans won by and z and it might
have been more had he been pushed.
