Dunlap Obvious Runner-up.

EORGE Dunlap. the 1888 national
N amateur champion. obviously
holds second place in the list.
He not only played brilliant golf in
winning at Cincinnati. but also went
to the semi-fnals of the British
amateur and made a creditable show
ing in the British open.
There may be some objection TO
ranking Jack Westland at No, 3 posi-
ton, still his record warrants that posi-
ton. Westland reached the last eight
in the national amateur and won the
Western anna eur at Memphis He has
been a sound. steady player for several
years and his performance this year
has been noteworthy throughout,
Then comes Max Marston of Phila-
delphia. Who is one OF the real veterans
of the game. A fine PLAYER 20 years
ago and the champion in 1923. Marston
fought his way TO the finals at Cincin-
natl with very brilliant play.
Although Johnny Fischer fell far
below his expected form. he still was
one of the best in the country. Fischer
won the medalst honors in the national
amateur for the second consecutive
yeal and his early defeat was so<-
thing that has happened to some OF the
Creates of stars. Fischer also won the
Western Conference collegiate cham
pion.lip and is headed for some Of the
main titles within the next few years.
Emery Headed Higher.
ITO Walter Emery of Oklahoma City
goes sixth place Little known
outside Of his home sector until
this Summer. Emery won the national
intercollegiate championship; went 10
the semi-finals of the Western ANA
teur and missed qualifying for the ma
tional BY one stroke. He is a fine
golfer who will climb higher.
Lawson Little of San Francisco IS
rated seventh. Here was a player who
went to the finals of the Transnnssis-
sippi. where he was beaten by Gus
Moreland IN a terrific battle. and came
East to travel to the Semi-lnals OF the
national. In addition Little won several
/ tournaments in the Far West, Little
improved tremendously during 1888 and
is one championship prospect who is
likely TO crack through very soon
Jack Munger, the high school boy
from Dallas. was another semi-finalist
in the national and is placed in eighth
position Munger is one OF the coming
stars of the game and his record III
Texas competitions has been very fine.
Gus Moreland another Dallas star. is
one Of the first four of the country.
This season his game slipped somewhat,
although he won the TransmiSSissippi.
In the Western and national he did not
fare so well. but still is one of the best.
Bliss No Major Champ.
4 LTHOUGH he won no major title
~ during the season. Rodney Bliss
Of Omaha is given tenth position.
He was a fnalist in the Western anna
teur and national intercollegiate cham
pionShips and around Omaha was able
to take the measure of Master Good
man with some regularity.
Thus we have two players from Dali
las. two from Omaha and one from
Oklahoma City rated among the leading
TO- Which proves there arc no sec
tional lines anv more in golf and A
national champion is as likely to come
from behind a corn shock or oil well as
from an Eastern drawing room.
There were many other amateurs with
fine records, including Scotty Campbell
OF Portland. who won the Canadian
amateur. and Sidney Noyes of New
York. But after consulting with sew
eral authorities on golf the selections
offered here were made.
