CLEVELAND, Sept. u. (UP)
This was black Wednesday" in
the national amateur golf cham
pionship and the ancient ink
swept from the lists eight aces
originally rated serious contend
erS for the title now held by Law
son Little.
Little, however, kept his shots
in line and his play in yesterdays
third and fourth rounds indicated
a fourth consecutive major cham
pionship.
The third round was barely I'M
der way before the upset addicts
were treated to a wholly unchart-
ed victory by Eddie Held of New
York over Scotty Campbell of Sc
attic. Campbell was rated by
many experts as probable final
list. The score was one up. Soon
after John Wagner of Chicago
bopped off Gus Moreland of Pc
oria, former Walker cupper from
Peoria. Score one P.
Next was the 2 and victory
of Bud Donovan of Winnipeg
over Dave (Spec) Goldman, run
ner-up to Little in 1884.
A fourth star sank in the third
round when Walter Emery, Okla
homa City star, defeated Ross
Somerville of London, Ont, who
won the crown in 1882. Score 2
and l.
To make the day thoroughly
uniform, the afternoons fourth
round contained three form re-
versals and one elimination of a
star by star.
Tommy Goodwin of New York
won from Reynolds Smith of DIAL
las, one Of last years semi-final-
lists. The score was 2 and l. While
Smith was expected to win the
outcome was a true upset.
Stars to go out on form rever-
sails were Charley Yates, Atlanta
boy with an inch-thick drawl;
Maurice Mccarthy of Cleveland
and Jack Westland, eX-Walker
cupper from Chicago.
John Nash, wealthy Canadian,
defeated Yates 3 and 2. Chuck
Kocsis of Detroit beat Mac l up,
and a rank outsider from Phila-
delphia, William Mccullough, beat
/ Westland one up.
In tomorrow mornings hfth
round only one of the eight
matches involves two players orig
inally rated with serious chances
of winning. In this contest, two
New Workers, George Voigt and
Willie Turnesa, both brilliant golf
ers, will come to grips.
In addition to Little, Goodwin
and Emery, stars who survived
"black Wednesdays" jinX were:
Jack Munger of Dallas, who beat
Morton Mccarthy of Virginia
Beach, 2 and /, and also beat
