BY W. R. McCALLUM. D try Club, the home club of ESTRUCTION of the Havemey the house of Atlanta Athletic Club, known also as East Lake Coun- ver cup in the fire which destroyed Robert T. Jones, national amateur champion, brings to a close the carcer of one of the most famous picces of silverware in sports history. News dispatches from Atlanta last week chronicled loss of the historic trophy in a blaze which swept the clubhouse where it had rested Oakmont morce than a year following Jones' twin victories at Merion and Although the Havemeyer trophy was not-as much traveled a piece of silver as the British open championship ¢ in the 31 vyears of its ex when Herold H. Hilton, re nd, beat Fred Herreshoff of final round. But in its time it traveled East and West, never west of Chicago and never south of Philadelphia until Jast vear when Bob Jones took it to At- lanta. Its travels during that time | were chiefly between Chicago, New York and Boston, with two stop-over at Pittsburgh and a short sojourn in Philadelphia i 24, when Maxwell | R. Marston first brought the big mug | to the Quaker City. | Cup Put Up in 1894 | Presented to the United States Golf | Association in 1894 by Theodore A Havemeyer of New York, first presi lent of the association, the trophy saw champlons from a half dezen cities come and go; was the cer ter of a score of congratulatory ban- | quets and prohably the most sought- | after prize in amateur golf. Certainly it ranked with the Davis Cup in tennis in popularity, although he Havemeyer trophy w an in dividual prize and not a team prize. Only one other trophy in golf held | a place equal to it, and that in the | hearts of Britishers.

Around its| hase were engraved classic names— | names that will go down in golf his- tory, although the cup itself is gone. MacDonald First Winner. Charles B. MacDonald’s name fi was engraved on its base back in 18 the initlal year of the championship. | MacDonald never won again, suc- cumbing to_the accuracy and strength of H. J. Whigham and Findlay S, | Douglas back in those days when golf | was young in this country, derided | by the masses and the subject of sar-| castic stage comment. To Onwentsia, which to Chicago is as Chevy Chase to Washington, went | the Havemeyer Cup in 1899. The vear | 1900 saw the beginning of the lengthy | relzn of Walter J. Travis, who won in | 1900 and 1901, losing in 1902 to Louis | James, only to come back again in Then H. Chandler Egan, voung | student, began a relgn that gave him two victories. Eben M. Byers took the cup to Pitts. | burgh in 1966, losing it the following | year to Jerome D. Travers, whose rec- ord of four wins stands as the best in | eur chamipionships, hen came 1909 and the beginning of the line of fine young players from Chicago who stood out for a decade | ind more leadeys in the game. Robert A. Gardner, then 19 vears old, | . Yale undergraduate, won the cup in that vear, defeating Chandler Egan, | who played through the final despite | rious physical disabllity.

Quimet Scores Only Once. Then came 1914 and the ¥ of Francis Ouimet, ex: loston, whose open championship vie- | tory the year previous did more than | any other one thing to popularize the | game of golf. Gardner won again in | 1915, and Evans registered his first win in 1916-—two successive victories, for Chicago. Evans held the title| through 1918, sine> no champio: were played during the war period, but_dropped it to 8. Davidson Herron at Oakmont in 1919, the year which | saw Bobby Jones, the present title-| holder, reach the final for the first time. But Evans « only vie 1ame back again in 1920 a the Engineers’ Club, wamping Francis Ouimet with what- is gen erally regarded as the finest golf ever | ~hot in a championship final round. | St. Louis in 1921 saw the sieze zun of loston, Jesse Guilford, come into the title and possession of the cup in| the championship played in a driving | rainstorm. But Guilford dropped it the following 3 at Brookline to an-| other brilliant’ young Yale undergrad-| uate, Jess Sweetser, who came into the crest with a fighting game oniy Sweetser has at the psychologicalf time. Sweetser went to the final at Chicago in 1923, losing on the thirty «izhth hole to Marston, the only Phil- adelphian ever to win. And Marston saw the cup go to Bob Jones for the first time over Marston's own course at Philadelphia last year, when Bob Jones so soundly trounced George Von Elm in the final round. Jjones' victory this year at Oakmont was marked above everything else by | the fact that Atlanta crowded every other city off the map in the final| round, for Jones' last opponent was | young Watts Gunn, a playmate of the champion in tLe Southern city.

He was a con- | stant thorn in the side of Trinity | Lodge, his score in the middle game | being just sufficient to enable his team to take that game by 1 pin. i It was not the fauit of Albert Gardner of Trinity that his team was | on the losing end. for, contrary {o | expectations, he registered consist- ently good scores of 112, 126 and | 117, giving him a set of 355, his besi | of the year. Potomac has shown marked im- | provement in its scores in the past few weeks and a part of the credit | is due to Sid Driver, who is now | appearing regularly in the line-up. Last week his games were 125, 101 | and 137, for a 363 set, which fol- lowed a 356 effort the previous week. Potomac Lodge numbers on roster a number of strong bowlers who could do much to further ad- vance that team in the standings. The combination of the Gingell brothers and John Papas, all rolling in good form, enabled Myron M. Parker to chalk up team scores of 536, 522 and 576, for a 1,635 set, taking the odd game of the set from Mount Pleasant. in spite of the fact that Capt. Malcolm of the latter team did himself proud by recording a 374 set, which included a game of 144. Because- of the necessity of going to press at an earlier date this week, the team standings do not include the games scheduled for Friday, No- vember 27. As the coming week is another double-header affair, calling upon each team engaging in two sets, some surprising changes in the standings may result when the next figures are published. . -DISTRICT LEAGUE. .
