POWERS. HICAGO, August 15.—George Voigt, former Washingtonian and now of New York, has since the retirement of Bob Jomes often beer styled the heir ap- parent to the United States amateur golf championship. Voigt quite likely will be the favorite to win the title when the match rounds start st Beverly—provided. of course, he sur- vives the preliminary 36 holes of medal firing. However, at this moment it will not be unjust to say that Voigt must show all of his skill as & shotmaker and a competitor if he wins this year's champlonship. For although Jones and Von Eim fence no more in the amateur duels it will take & fast and comsistent game 1o win along the Beverly front. ‘The field this year is certain to in- cluGe a strong percentage of new and young players.

Tales of a Wayside Tee. HE impression one gets after playing the Beverly golf course *is that you not only have to keep hiting the ball a long way, but that you have to keep hitting it straight. Beverly, if you don't know it ‘already. is the Chicago battlefield for the next | amateur golf championship, where in about 10 days the vanguard of some 150 golfers will be testing out the range. They will have almost no trou- ble if they can hit the ball quite a| distance and keep it straight at the same time. Short hitters will have their troubles. wild hitters will have even more. In fact Beverly is just about as stout a test of golf as any one would want to wrestle with, and the better golfers should have a good chance to beal lesser rivals, which is just as it should be In the first place the Beverly course is scenically at- tractive, with an array of maples and oaks, which catch the eye. It must be admitted that few maples or omks are scenically attractive once you have driven into them and have to get out again.
