Big-Time Debut.
BY FRANCIS ]. POWERS.

~ ICAGO, August 14.-Last
of the 152 entries to get
~ off the first tee in the quail
flying round of the United
States national amateur golf
championship at Beverly c. c.,
August 81, will be Harold Weber
of the Inverness Club, Toledo.
That news will cause no stampede
of cowponies in Alder Gulch, New,
or excitement around the garage
in EnoSburg Falls, Vt.
But to Harold Weber goes the distinc-
ton Of being the veteran of the large
field that represents SO States, l Ter
ritory, England and Canada.
When the 1907 national amateur was
played over the long-forgotten Euclid
Club of Cleveland and Jerry Travers
beat Archie Graham to win the first Of
his four championships, Harold Weber
was among she qualifiers. Travis and
Travers werefthe big shots of amateur
golf in those days, with Bill Fownes,
Chandler Egan and Ned Sawyer among
the topnotchers. Chick Evans and Bob
Gardner were just on their way up, and
Robert Tyre Jones, aged s., was laying

Cubs were the kingpins of base ball:
Jim Jeffries was in retirement, and golf
was just sissy game.
Was Ohicss Best.
But Harold. Weber survives the old
order He qualified for the 1907 cham
pionship with a score of 159, and after
beating X. p. Edwards of Chicago was
+alxa If an q
struggle by w. T. West of Philadelphia.
He subsequently qualified for six other
national. amateurs, and three times was
able to win his way into the second
round. And now, after "a years, he
is back to contest the right of flaming
youth for a place in the championship
field at Beverly.
Weber was for years Ohio's outstand-
ing amateur golfer. He won the Ohio
amateur championship four times, scor-
ing his first victory in 1907 and his last
in 1921. He also was perennial win
ner in the Winter championships at st.
Augustine and other Florida resorts. In
the old days Weber's red vest was one
Of the orifiammes Of the game on Ohio
and Florida courses.
Worth While Record.
The Ohio veteran may not be able

although his straightness, putting and
wide knowledge OF the game are not to
be discounted. But his record will stand
considerable wear and tear. To have
qualified in 1907 and still be entitled
TO a place III the preliminary field "a
years later is an achievement worth
while.
The 1881 amateur may be q cham
pionship of youth, but such oldsters as
Francis Ouimet Max Marston, Jesse
Guilford and Chick Evans may balk
many a juvenile hope The new ball
viii help the veterans, and Beverly will
repay their accuracy.
