I -"rn1"8 l"at ende(1 on the 36tn
7. ' ,uu,Utty in ine national ama
tour golf championship at the St
,Ui1Cul!ntry Club Chick Evans, de
fending his title, defeated Jesse Sweet
Jesse Guilford, of Boston, eliminated
Harrison Johnston, of St. Paul, by
the same score, bringing them together
in the semi-finals today.
In a closer, though not so thrilling
a contest in its finish, Willie Hunter
British champion, defeated Bobby Jones
tn na 2 ,and 1' after bein& down
?u Georian nearly all day, and
won the right to contest the other
semi-final match with Robert Gardner,
or Chicago, twice former champion,
who bested R. E. Knepper, of Sioux
il.v, ana '
The most dramatic finish was fur-
nished by Evans, who, in defending I
nis title, had to shoot a 73 in the I
murnins to lead Sweetser by two up
the New Yorker having scored a 7o!
jvans, on the third nine, with a 36 1
to bweetser's 38, became careless wit'i i
his putter and. after rtmnni ua
! 32nd hole by takinsr thre. nntt0 i,- I
the 33rd, where Sweetser scored a I
birdie. Evans found himself only two I
uji anu mree to go.
He tightened his game and dropped
his tee shot on the 180-yard 34th. ten
feet to the left of the cup. Sweetser"s
drive was 30 feet from the hole, but
he managed to halve in three when
Evans' well-studied putt stopped short
because of the mud on the ball.
WAS DORM IE ONE.
Evans reached for the vantage
point on the left side of the 35th fair
way, but pushed his iron second to the
embankment at the right of the green
and took a five when his mashie niblick
stubbed its nose on the side of the
incline, losing the hole and becoming
dormie one. He slightly sclaffed his
drive on the home hole and was two
hundred yards short of the green be
hind a hill, while Sweetser, playing
steadily, drove to a good position.
Evans decided to end the contest
and. taking a brassie, he cut a beauti
ful shot and the ball dug into the fair
way like a mashie pitch, stopping a
few feet beyond, but 25 to the right
of the cup on the sloping green.
Sweetser again showed hsi fighting
qualities by plunking an iron 12 feet
to the left of the flag. Evans sur
veyed his treacherous putt and then
planted his feet firmly for the effort
to hole out. The putt took the hillsiuo
as though it were running through a
slot and dropped into the hole for a
birdie 3 without any semblance or a
gobbler sideslip. Sweetser did not try
to hole his put, as a half would do him
no good, and Chick generously conced
ed fum a three, making his defeat
one down instead of two, as it likely
would have been.
HUNTER FINISHED STRONG.
The match between Hunter and
Joofs was the reverse of the Evans
and Sweetser contest, the winner being
down nearly all the way. The Atlanta
player going out in 34, one under par,
made the first turn two up ana, al
though he slipped on the second nine
and took 41, he was still 2 up at
the 18th hole with his 75.
The British champion scon overcame
this advantage in the afternoon when
Jones found a bunker with his second
on the 19th and took five, while the
Britton scored a four after topping his
drive. Each had a chance for a two
on the 221-yard 20th, but missed by
inches and Hunter squared the match
on. the 21st when Bobby took three
putts. Jones won the next hole for a
new lead by chipping dead to the cup
from a deep sand trap into which his
heeled iron had fallen, fussing his
opponent so that he missed his 3-foot
putt for a four.
They halved the 23rd in birdie fours
and the 24th in perfect fours, and the
American defender became two up
when the Briton required four strokes
for the baby 25th. Jones' advantage
flickered out on the next two holes,
as he got into the brook on the boom-
erange 26th, and the Briton pitched
dead for a birdie four on the long 27th,
squaring the match with his par 35 for
the third nine.
THE HOME STRETCH.
Turning into the home stretch, they
halved the first three holes in perfect
figures, the Briton gamely holeing a
long putt on the 29th after being over
the green in two. Then the American
took the lead momentarily for the last
time with a par five on the 568-yard
31st, after topping his drive, as the
invader got into a cross bunker with
his second and took seven. Hunter
sank an lS-foot putt on the 32nd green
for a birdie three and was again on
even terms when Jones missed a ttn
fcoter for a half.
Jones became, one down on the long
33rd by missing a two-foot putt for a
halve and two' down on the 180-yard
34th by pulling his tee shot to the
rough and taking four. They halved
the 35th in perfect fours, and the
Briton was victor, 2 and 1. .
DING-DONG BATTLE.
The struggle between Guilford and
Johnston was a ding-dong battle from
the first tee to the 36th jreen, where
.lonnston could do no b?tter than hall
in four, and lose, one down. Guilford
snatched the lead at the 35th when
Johnston was over the green in two
for a five, and clinched the victory
on the 36th with a perfect four, which
Johnston managed to equal with a fine
pitch from the rough to within a foot
of the cup after he had pulled his
second shot.
Knepper, who has shot the course
twice in 73, was off his game Thursday
with Gardner, taking 38 for the first
nine and 43 to get home for an 81,
being three down at the end of the
first round. Gardner, with 36-40 76,
did not have to extend himself and
in the afternoon he gained a maximum
lead' of six up on the Iowa champion
by winning the. 22nd, 23rd and 24th,
only to lose the next two and turn
f our up for the last nine. The cham
pion won the 29th but Knepper fought
back momentarily taking the 30th with
a birdie two, and the long 31st with a
par five and halving the next two in
perfect figures, only to lose, four to
two, when he required four strokes
for the short 34th hole.
TACKLE YANKEES
Crucial Series for Rag of
American League Will be
Four-Game Menu.
New York, Sept. 23. This Speaker's
Cleveland Indians,' 1920 world's cham
pions, were here today for their final
four-game series with the New York
Yankees, in which it is believed the
1&21 pennant race will be decided.
The reserved seat sections ai the
Polo Grounds all have been sold for
the series, and experts estimate that
close to 150,000 fans will see the four
games. Ticket seekers stormed the
Yankee offices Tuesday and Wednesday
and many were turned away.
Extra police squads have been de-
THIS TIME LAST YEAR
Mails won his fifth successive vic
tory since joining the Indians, let
ting the White Sox down with three
hits for a 2 to 0 win.
The Tigers and the Browns made
thirty-one hits: Detroit made ten
singles, five doubles, two triples and
a homei.
MIKE KELLY SIGNED
TO MANAGE SPARTS
tailed to the ball park to handle the
crowds expected to start early for the
unreserved seats.
The teams start the series on vir
tually even terms. The Yankees have
an advantage of less than two paints,
the Indians having won one more game
and lost one more game than their
rivals. Three victories in the four
games would give either team a tight
hold on first place with a two-game
lead, while a clean sweep would give
the victors a four-game lead and make
it almost impossible to oust them.
Spartanburg, S. C, Sept. 23. Official
j announcement was made Thursday
I that Bernard (Mike) Kelly, formerly
! catcher with Toledo, ni the American
Association, but now property of the
Spartanburg, South Atlantic Associa
tion, baseball club, has signed a con
tract to manage the Spartanburg team
in 1922. Kelly has been in charge
of the team for the past three months.
He was purchased from Toledo several
weeks ago, two Spartanburg pitchers
figuring in the deal.
