TOE PI WMJMBT I otilBoiic I VOL. XVIII, NO. 18 SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 3, 1915 FIVE CENTS CHAMPIONSHIP IN FULL SWING Amateur Professional and Open Events Inaugurate Pinelmrst's Classic National Champion Ouimet In II rig-lit and Particular Star With Sensational Medal Hound THE " United' ' Cham pionship swung wide open on Friday last with the amateur-professional, four-ball, best ball event, and never a dull moment has there been since; final rounds of the Amateur Champ ionship in progress as we go to press. Yes, it has been some week, but next week the story! If The climax of opening play was a winning one hundred and thirty-seven for Amateur Champion Francis Ouimet and Donald J. Ross, two strokes in the lead of Henry J. Topping and Tom Macnamara with cards of 70 l?7 and 73 G6, and the crisis of play was the afternoon round with the victors fully aware of what was necessary for them to do to win. Making the turn in thirty-four with two 5's, three 4's and four 3's on their t-ard, Ouimet and Ross raced home in thirty -three with seven 4 's, one 3 and a 2 for a winning total of thirty-three. The limax of play was very naturally the homeward journey, the first four holes in par and the fourteenth in one under par on a screaming putt by Ouimet. A pulled tee shot on the fifteenth put the Champion out of the running, but Ross awoke the echoes with a thrilling 2. The fifteenth was an easy par 4 and likewise the seventeenth a 3 where with good luck Ouimet might have recorded a 2 on an off-the-green stab. Ouimet 's tee shot on the eighteenth ;is side by side with his partner, and iron at the green over-ran to the siiiid adjoining the caddie quarters, but pushed up dangerously close and ran down a 4.
