Eti.VX FAILS TO STICK-
"H. Chandler Egan, of Portland, fail
ed to qualify, thus leaving only three
former winners of the title in the
running out of rive who started, S.
Davidson Herron. of Chicago, failing
to survive the elimination round on
Saturday.
It require 162 to qualify for match
i !., uut i-rescott iiush. of St. Louis.
and Russell Smith. Portland, Ore.,
with 163. tied for 32nd place and will
play off the tie before the 36-hole
first round matches start.
Chick Evans, defending his title, dis
played both championship golf and care
lessness that at one time threatened to
crowd him out of the thirty-two quali
fiers. He started in the first round
"lin a string of pars, but dwindled
away to 39 for the nine. He came
back in 3S, for a 77. The champion
gave a rare display of the Scotch
game going out in the afternoon.
chalking up nothing but fours except
for two threes for a 34, one under
par. Then he began to trifle with his
putter, taking at least one extra
putt to the green while on the
12th X" scored an unbelievable eight,
taking seven-sinsled-handed nutts.
In this manner, although he drove
and approached well without effort,
he took 47 stokes to get home, giving
him 47 for a total of 81, but his
36-hole score of 158 qualified fairly
well up in the list.
OUIMET SLOWED UP.
Francis Ouimet, putting well as
usual, also cured some recent lapses
in his long game and played evenly
until the last nine where the humid
heat seemed to slow up his game, as
he took 40 for this nine as against
35-34-35 for the first tfe?r nines. His
record 69 was all the, more remarkable
tecause of the slow and soft condition
of the course, which stopped runs on
the drives and forced the successful
1 'layer to put his approaches right up
to the pin. N
The United States Golf Association
Monday adopted another innovation by
permitting the players to clean mud
from the balls when on the putting
greens and to move the ball away
from the cups, made when approaches
sank - in the soft soil. Another re
laxation of the rules saved Bobby
Jones two strokes on the final hole,
where he drove two long irons out of
grounds into the gallery near the club
house.
The Atlantan, after a good !!:M7 7j
in the morning, had gone out In only
a fair 39j when came home wita even
pars to the 16th hole, ISO yards.
There he holed a 25-foot putt for a
birdie two and, with some sharp iron
work, got another birdie on the 361-
yard 17th.
Jones drove well down the hihy
fairway of the 412-yard home hole
and took a driving iron for an
approach of 180 yards that had to be
all carry because of a yawning- pit in
front of the green- His ball flew
straight, but on the slope he had an
untrue stance, pushing the fchut to
the club house. He dropped anciher
ball and shot it to almost tiie same
spot. A third attempt resulted in a
pull to the left of the green, hole high,
when he chipped up dead with a sx,
had 36 for a 75, one stroke better
than his first round.
The second best score of the day
for 18 holes was Knepper's well bal
anced 35-35 70. His incom'ng score
was one under par.
TILDEN RETAINS
RACQUET CROWN
Defeats Wallace F. John
son, Former Title-Holder,
in Three Straight Sets.
Philadelphia, Sept. 20. AVilliam T.
Tilden, 2nd, of this city, again is na
tional tennis champion. He won 'he
3 921 title Monday by defeating "Wallace
F. Johnson, also of this city. 6-1, 6-3.
6-1, in the final round of the 40th
annual championship singles tourna
ment of the United States Tennis
Association in what is said to be the
record time of forty-three minutos.
Tilden rose to the super-heights of
his play. The speed and accuracy
of both his service and return strokes
so dazzled and smothered Johnson that
the latter was placed in such a defen
sive position that he never for a mo
ment appeared to have even a fighting
chance. As a result of his victory.
Tilden's name again will be inscribed '
upon the championship trophy, which
he won for the first time last season.
He now has two legs upon the cup,
placing him on a level with Maurice.
McLaughlin, who won in 1912 and
1913; It. Norris Williams, winner in
1914 and 1916, and William M. John
ston, holder in 1915 and 1919.
William A. Larned and R. Lindley
Murray aso have won this particular
cup once, the play dating back to i9il,
when it was placed in competition.
TILDEN IN RAKE FORM.
If Tilden can retain the type of game
he showed Monday during the 1922
season, the final winning of this par
ticular championship urn is a foregone
conclusion. It is doubtful if any tennis
player in the modern history of the game
could have hurled back Tilden yester
day afternoon. Certain no such uis-jlay
of terrific service, driving and smash
ing has been seen in recent seasons.
While Johnson's comparatively soft
game may have paved the way for this
display of cyclonic tennis, the pecuracy
with which Tilden directed and con
trolled his return was litt'.e short of
marvelous.
Against the bombardment of cannon
ball return3, Johnson was almost help
less. Many of the shots tore-p-ist nim
with such-, speed that he could not f.tt
his racquet on them; others vvere
placed in inaccessible corners of the
court and were bounding off the back
stops before Johnson reached the place
where a little puff of duat marked
their passing.
In the face of this overwhelming
offense and annihilating speJ. the
runner-up's chopped and undercut re
turns were futile. Johnson piled up an
unusual number of errors in attempt
ing to return Tilden's drives, due to
his utter inability to keep the ball on
his racquet long enough to control
the direction of his shots. Whil? er
rors were comparatively even. Tilden
had 35 earned points to Johnson's
four. The match was played under
perfect weather conditions and -vitness-ed
by more than 10,000 spectators.

EXASPERATING and un
necessary is the unre
sponsive motor, balky in
starting, slow in picking-up.
More often than not, the motor is
jnot to blame. Its performance
depends primarily upon the qual
ity of the gasoline you use. There
is wide variation in gasolines.
Considering the great variety of
crude oils that are obtained from
the earth and the different degrees
of skill and experience with which
they are refined, this is not surpris
ing. In the improved "Standard" Motor
Gasoline power and clean-burning
qualities are not sacrificed to make
quick-starting possible. Yet It 3oeS
"get you going" in a hurry; first
over the line when the traffic police

Years of research and practical ex
perimenting by our Development
Department account for the fact
that "Standard" is today the most
finely balanced gasoline that is be
ing produced. It consists of care
fully determined fractions, or pro
portions, that insure quick-starting,
together with high power and the
ability of every gallon to deliver,
the greatest possible mileage.
If you have not yet tried this im
proved motor fuel you should do
so at once. Its actual performance
in your motor will quickly demon
strate its superiority.
