Ever Seen at Plnehnrtt
BY JOHN G. ANDERSON.
lAPRIL 2-7. IT IS
usual, perhaps, in
narrating a story of
a golfing champion
ship to begin with
adjectives and sup
erlative adverbs for
the last encounter. To me this
has seemed a bit peculiar, since
those who have followed over
the course faithfully watching
the progress of the matches
surely enjoy the final rounds
all the more because of their
knowledge of the preliminary
struggles which have been so
successfully met by the two sur
vivors in the final. And so, with
all due regard for precedent, let
us simply state that in the finals
for the Seventeenth Annual
United North and South Ama
teur Championship Mr. Norman
Maxweel of Aronimink defeat
ed Mr. W. C. Fownes, Jr., of
Oakmont by 2 up and 1 to play.
And then having gratified the
first desire by naming the win
ned let us take up the tourna
ment day by day.
The Qualifying Round
At the first tee around 8:30
started off Phillip Carter and
Gardiner White, the former a
decided favorite to retain the
championship laurels won in
1916. A strong breeze was blow
ing down the course which in
laters hours became more diffi
cult when winds became higher.
Carter made a beautiful drive,
a cleanly hit second and then
defeated General Par by 2
strokes by holing a chip shot.
Two hours later the young
metropolitan player was seen
clambering out of a bunker near
the eighteenth green. A 5 on
the hole resulted and a low score
seemed unlikely.
"What did you get, Phil?" we
asked.
"Only a 71," was the answer
with thoughts of a trapped
second shot on the last hole up
permost in mind.
But Carter should have said,
"A 71 only." That would have
expressed the right sentiment
if a vote had been taken by all
the other crack golfers still
watching their turn to go out
and brave the stiff golfing breeze
and the championship links.
No one in the large field came
near Carter in the .first of the
two day's qualifying scoring.
Ned Beall playing also over the
number 2 course, made a 75,
very consistent golf, and Sam
Graham with 77, Bill Fownes
with 78, Whitcomb with, White,
and Dyer and Donald Parsons at
79 were others who broke an 80.
Norman Maxwell chilled his ar
dent admirers by taking an 86,
but comforted them with the
assertion that he would do much
better on the second round. No
other favorites fell behind.
Carter Wins the Medal
Tuesday, April 3. The last
18 holes were played in a strong
not sem to display the demands
for a Scotch knowing of how to
place the shots and keep them
out of trajps and bunkers; but
scoring was at all times a mat
ter of good play and sound judg
ment. Those who had golfed
over the number 3 course on
Monday, played over the number
2 links, and vice versa. Carter,
starting once more in the early
part of the . day's play, showed
strong golf but not as strongly
consistent as on the previous
round. He returned a card of
78 giving him a total of 149 for
the 36 holes and what seemed
like a dead certainty for the low
gross medal. ' Soon the other
good golfers began to arrive,and
few of the lot disappointed their
admirers. Maxwell made a 75,
Graham another 77, Robert Hun
ter a 78, Stranahan a 79, until
W. C. Fownes was left to chal-
