VETERAN OF WEST MEETS COLLEGE YOUTH IN FINAL Evans Disposes of Knepper, 11 and 9, While Sweet- ser Defeats Jones, 8 and 7, Registering New Course Record of 69 on One Round. BY W. R. McCALLUM. HE COUNTRY CLUB, Brookline, Mass., September 9.—facing the bunkered expanse of greensward at Brookline today, Chick Evans of Chicago, playing in his fourth amateur championship final, goes forth to do battle for the national golf title against one of the greatest young golfers in the land—Jesse Sweetser of New York, the lad who yes- terday snuffed the titular aspirations of Bobby Jones to the tune of 8 and 7. Evans romped all over young Rudy Knepper of Sioux City yes- terday, winning as he pleased from the lad from the middle west, ending the match on the twenty-seventh green, 11 up and 9 to go. Chick starts today at the very top of his perfect golf form, playing a game superior to any golf he ever has flashed in all his eighteen years of experience along the bunkered fairway. He will be opposed by the lad who yesterday overthrew Bobby Jones in one of the grandest ex- hibitions of golf ever displayed in a national or any other championship —a lad who did not know what it was to make a slip from tee to green, who made Atlanta Bobby resemble a second-rater, and who in the course of his triumphant march to victory registered a new course record of 69, -and might have equaled that mark in the afternoon had he been pushed. Sweetser simply outclassed Jones. | tells the well hit ball, picked up a Bobby was putting in none too cer- tain fashion, but even if a few of his putts had dropped the inevitable would have been but postponed, for Sweetser was a Virtuoso, a master who played golf with his clubs as the master musician plays on his in- strument, bringing forth a tune that spelled at overwhelming defeat for Bobby—the worst beating the Atlanta lad ever has suffered. Chick Takes No Chances. Evans reached the final in the na- tional over the same course on which he suffered twelve years ago one of the most humiliating defeates of his entire career, losing to W. C. Fownes of Pittsburgh, in the 1910 tourney, on the last hole, after having been 2 up, with 3 to go. Chick took no chances with Knepper, yesterday, having 1n mind the wonderful viciory of the Sioux City lad over Torrance in the first round, and toward the conclusion of the match it appeared as if Evans went about his task in only half- hearted fashion. Chick was twelve up at the end of the sixth hole—the Zith of the match, and lost the sev- <nth and eighth, by taking three putts on each green. He won the ninth to n s the greatest of notwithstand- would n the twenty- seventh hole yesterday 1 down to Sweetser, the master. Had they been playing uagainst cach other KEvans, doubtless, would not have taken three Jdits at the sevenin and eighth, but the fact remains, verified by the scoreboard, that over twenty-seven holes Sweetser would have been 1 up on_the western magician. Evan thirty-two_years of age and Lis experience in national cham- pionships dutes baek to 1909, when was eliminated_by H. Chandler Egan in the semi-finals at Chicago. Uver tiie same course, three years later, Chick fell before a par-shatter- ing onsiaught by Jerome D. Travers. The_Chicagoan won the title in 1916 at Merion and again at Roslyn, in 1920, however. This is his fourth final and he senerally is favored to win over the tall Yale lad—twenty- year-old Jess Sweetser. Sweetser Has “Arrived.” Sweetser surely has come into his own this year. Picked by Vardon two years ago, as one of the coming stars of the game in America, Jess has lived up to the highest predic- tions, and if he beats svans today it will only be the just ruward of wonderful ability and aptitude. Evans will carry into ine iray & world of experience—probably great- er experience than a nationai finalist ever has had at his command. Evans is the reigning western champion to- day for the seventh time. He also has won the western open. Chick is the only man ever to hold two na- tional titles in one year, his twin triumph coming in 1916, when he won the open at Minikhada and the amateur at Merion later in the year. He has played in nine national semi- finals, while this is Sweetser’s first entrance into the ultimate round of the championship. For these reasons and the fact that his game has im- proved daily Evans is favored to win, although smiling Jess, king of metrc- politan golfers, is right at the crest of a magnificent game and may turn back the aspiring Chicagoan. Evans yesterday defeated Knepper for the ninth time in competition, giving the Sioux City lad a bad beat- ing, and being aided at all times by the ragged game of the Princeton se- nior. Jones and Sweetser never had before met in serious competition, but the defeat administered to the Atlantan by Sweetser should not be held as indicative of their relative merits. Jones never was right, except on the last nine in the morning, and even then was Alhtlnf against & handicap and a game which no golfer in the world could have overcome. Knepper Plays Poer Golf. Evans won six straight holes in the afternoon from Knepper after start- ing 6 up, to become 12 up with 12 to go on the stocky Sioux City lad, who eliminated Torrance, Ouimet and Tol- ley in succession from the tourney. Rudy played bad golf in the after- noon, losing a shot on the first hole, and dropping the second when the accurate Evans laid his second shot up against the pin. Rudy sliced into the woods at the third. hit a tree with his second shot, was bunkered in| 3, and finally was down in 6, Wwhile Evans, down the middle, was home in 2 and down in 4. Knepper actually took four putts on the 300- yard fourth, while Evans, who was outside Knepper after the pitch shots. was down in 2 and won the hole, Knepper again took three putts at the fifth after his pitch was again inside Evans, who was in the rough in 2, but was down in_one putt. The Chicagoan holed a 6-foot putt for a_ 3 at the sixth to become dor- mie 12 up. Careless putting cost Evans the short seventh, where he was on the green from the tee and took three putts, while the former champlon again took three putts at the eighth, when his pitch was in- aide that of Knepoer. "The match came to &n end on the ninth, the twenty-seventh of the match; when Evans played two per- fect shots to the green, while Knep- per was short in 2, and beyond the hole in 3. missing his try for a 4. and Jaying Evans s half-stymie.

Truly, he never missed a shot all day, except that seventeenth, and possibly his second shot to the long eleventh, the eciding hole of the match in the aft- rnoon, where he was bunkered, but yet got*a half. “Greatest Stylist” Beaten. Heartless Jess never let Bobby come near getting away from him. If it wasn't a heart-breaking putt which the Siwanoy lad sank it was a high pitch_which generally found him in- side Jones. Sweetser appeared to be the most marvelo: golfer in the world against Jones, whom Harry Vardon declared the greatest stylist in the world. Jones had a few hard ones in the course of the day, missing a three- foot putt at the fifth in the morning, where his ball had picked up a huge lump of mud. Sweetser stymied Bobby at the eighth in the morning o 4R BIG LEAGUE' STATISTICS ‘Win, Lese. .95 588 1560 558 540 5a1 A8 541 45 (537 493 485 3 368 362 354 GAMES TODAY. GAMES TOMORROW.

TYGERS AID NEW YORK T0 QUST THE BROWNS The New York Yankees were lead- ing again today in the see-saw battle with St. Louis for the American League pennant. The Yankees held a margin of a half game, as a result of their victory over shington ye: terday, while Detroit pounded the Browns' leading twirler, Shocker, and won, 8 to 3. Ken Willlams kept ahead of Rogers Hornsby. his National League rival in the home run race, by ramming out his thirty-sixth circuit blow, while al star hit his thirty-fifth Williams' wallop ac- and again stymied him at the sixth in the afternoon, and yet again stymied him at the sixth in the after- noon, where Bobby nonchalantly took his mashie and pitched over Sweet- ser's ball into the hole for a half. Bobby again saw his putt for a half at the ninth in the afternoon slide by the rim of the elusive hole. A four-footer, it was, and, as it slid past, Bobby's face was a study. But Bobby has conquered himself, and the lad, who a few years ago would have registered unmistakable disgust, grin- ned, and remarked to the referee that they wouldn't drop for him. Bobby Tries, But Fails. Sweetser laid 2 high niblick shot at the tenth up against the hole, while Bobby was twenty feet beyond the hole. Seven down, there was nothing for Bobby to do but try to gobble the putt, and he made a good try, but again the ball rimmed the cup, and Jones missed coming back, conceding Sweetser the hole to become dormie eight down. Sweetser was bunkered with his second shot to the long elev- enth, while Jones was nearly home. but Sweetser was well out, eight feet away in three, while Bobby's chip shot over the sloping, undulating green was six feet from the cup. Sweetser’s ball rimmed the cup, and Bobby stepped up to his putt, with the realization that if it did not drop he was eliminated. A fine bid he made, but the ball caught the side hill on which the hole was cut and ran past, while Bobby, who had realized for many holes back that he was a beaten golfer, stuck out his hand 1nd extend- ed his congratulations to the victor. counted for all three of the Browns' runs, while Bob Veach led the Tiger attack with a brace of homers. The New York Giants were out- slugged by Philadelphia, the Quakers making a target of Art Nehf, and winning, 8 to 4. The champlons kept their advantage over Pittsburgh, how- ever, as the Pirates dropped 2 hard- hitting encounter to Chicago, 10 to 7. St. Louis hit Johnny Couch hard to defeat Cincinnati, 6 to 1. Hasty of the Athletics held the Bos- ton Red Sox to four hits, but lost, 2 to 1, while Eddie Collins’ batting featured Chicago's second straight victory over Cleveland, 7 to 2. U. S. GOLFERS VICTORS. TORONTO, September 9. — The United States senior team of fifteen plavers won its fourth successive victory in the annual internationa! match with the Canadian Seniors’ As- sociation yesterday, 243 to 20%. The big game of the match was that be- tween the champions of the two asso- ciations, George S. Lyon, Canads, and Martin _ J. Condon, United States, which was won by the former, 5 up. Lyon's 70 was the best card of the tourney. IRELAND FOUR BEATEN. RUMSON, N. J,, September 9.—The Anglo-American Eastcott team easily defeated thx All-Ireland club, 11 to 6. in a practice exhibition game of seven periods yesterday. Both teams had practically been eliminated from the open championship. SANDLOT TOURNEY “PIED” BY UNION PRINTERS’ WIN terday in the series for the W HEN they defeated the flying Mohawk Athletic Club, 6 to 3, yes- independent unlimited division base ball championship of the city, the Union Printers turned an ap- parent walkover for the Indians into a mad scramble for laurels. The Mohawks entered the fray credited with two victories in as many starts, and with another win would lrave been about home as champions, while the Printers would have been eliminated as contenders. But much may happen in a diamond tourney, and what happened yesterday was Webb. This_chap, who helped hurl the Printers to a national championship in the Typographical Lea, meant runs. , stood ‘the Indians on their heads when hits rinters have another chance at the city title, and the Dominican Lyceums, to be met by the Typos tomorrow, also have a look-in. Webb was more liberal than his opponent Beall, allowing eight hits to the latter's four, but the Printer's control was better and his mates more apt on the paths than the Indians. The Typos started to “pi” the series in_the ogean inning of ray by chasing tally home an gained a commanding lead in the second session when a hit and an error mixed with Beall's pass and two wild pitches netted three runs. The Mohawks got a couple of runs in the second inning and a marker in the"fourth, but in their ifth and last time at bat the Printers made matters certain by banging home a pair of scores. ‘War of the Departmental League and General Accounts of the Govern- ment League will have to meet in a fourth game Monday to decide the city interleague race. These nines battled through nine innings yester- 3 score, each side put- in the last inning. Lusby had yielded a tally to General Accounts in the sixth inning, but War came back in the next session and hammered Owen for a run. A victory over the Linworths tomor- row would give the Holy Names the independent junior championship, the latter having defeated the southwest boys. 4 to 0, yesterday in the first game of their titular series of three. Both Farrington of the winners and Hollis pitched well, each allowing but four hits, but the former was accord- ed better support in pinches.

The closest_approach to a reversal was when Fred C. Anderson of Brooklyn took the first two sets of his match with Jose M. Alonso, brother of the Spanish ace, and came close to taking the fourth and fifth as well. Yet this would have been no tremendous up- set. Anderson is an excellent player and Alonso makes no claims to being the equal of his brother. The other most sensational match was won by Willis E. Davis of San Francisco from Nathaniel W. Niles ot Boston, 2—6, 6—3, 6—3, 6—4.

Walter Johnson couldn’t stop him from the box in winning, 8 to 1, to take the lead away from the Browns, who fell prey to the Tygers. As the Yanks have taken fourteen out of the twenty games played wi Zachary, whichever gets the assignment, will be fortunate to be on the firing line at the finish. The Yanks yesterday treated \Johnson so roughly that they drove the one-time king of hurlers to the dugout at the two-thirds mark, the finishing blow being Pipp's home run in the sixth with two men on bases. iIn these six sessions the Hugmen hit Johnson for twelve safeties. In the next two they made only one off |Erickson—a single by Mays. All told, therefore, the Yankees made and un- lucky number of hits, but a lucky bunch of runs—enough o bring them victory by a comfortable margin. Ruth Is Not Much Help. Outside of Pipp's home run, the other long drives credited to the Yankees were doubles by Dugan. Scott and Ruth. Babe had rather a hard time at the bat, his two-bag- ger being the only safety he made. {The first time up, with two on bases, Ine struck out; the second time up. with one on, he forced Witt; the third time up, with no one om, he doubled. and the fourth time up, with two again on. he forced Witt again. While the Yanks were putting up a nifty flelding game the Griffmen were helping the home team along with four wild throws, all of which figured in the scoring. Meusel's one-handed catch of Gos- lin's short fly in the sixth brought forth the greatest applause of the game. He nabbed the ball on the dead run, just back of short. Dugan also made a scintillating one-handed stop back of third, and Peckinpaugh, a former Yankee, came to the front with a _single-handed catch of Schang’s fly in the sixth.

With “Unts" Brewer, Gilbert, Paga- nucci, Plassnig and Anderson gone, the first four by graduation and the last mentioned because of ineligibility on account of scholastic difficulties, e development of men as capable to_fill the places seems exceedingly difficult. Especially is this true in the case of Brewer's punting and drop kicking. Shifts May Be Made. Two or three men will be taken from the line in an attempt to work out some extra backfleld material. In all probability Branner, right end last year, will be given an_ oppor- tunity to see what he can do as a halfback. Heine, who played full- back on the freshmen's eleven, is a good prospect, and it may be that one of the other freshman backs, either Smith, Faber or Peebles, will develop more rapidly than might be expected. At any rate, Maryland's prospects, considering .the kind of schedule it is to play, are anything but bright. : The losses of the old line school in the line are comparatively light, al- though both the men who will be coanh:\lou. by their absence were ex- ceptionally good players. Clarke at right tackle and Gundry at right guard were among the best members of the team. However, the disastrous season the Marylanders went through a year ago, from a standpoint of in- juries, caused an ususual number of substitutes to get opportunities they otherwise would not have obtained, and consequently the team will be in a much better way for line material than it would under other conditions. le, “Mac"” Brewer at sul Latham at tackle and guard and Pollock at center and Young at end really played some mighty good foot ball at various times and got development which will make them 14 OF. 17 TITLEHOLDERS ARE DEFENDING HONORS Field Greatest Ever Assembled Qutside of Olympi¢ 308 Games—Three Records Are Established in Junior Championship Meet.
