LANDERS IN USH’S —BROWNS | BAT SAVES DAY FOR REDS DOWN YANKS AFTER LOSINC FIRST GAME—FAFNIR ”fi( PLAY = UIMET BEATEN BY PHILA. PLAYER .

Compared with his work of Wednes st BEvgns. Oui- et's play fell badly, but it is [doubtful if this was due as much to weather and course conditions as the hatural reaction following the strain of Wednesday's match. Ouimet's stroke score yesterday afternoon was 170 for 36 holes compared to 150 against the former double cham- lpionship holder Evans, under far more favorable playing conditions. in Trouble. by J de- famous was as the of hands match players and New Eng- the contest the two ex- in @ pour- contestants as vassing a territic of course heavy storm the both as greens con- off as Ouimet Ouimet was day taking 85 and afternoon each. FHe was his drives, the ing bunkers, but for some on his second have been able to carry the along to the extreme recorded most ever; second drive resulted in a slice or a hook and off the tee it was a case of just one trap after an- other. To top his troubles he fell off in putting and lost several chances to win Reles by failing on compara- tively easy putts. Platt, while not playing particular- ly brilliant golf, was extremely steady and made every shot count. Fre- quently outdriven by Ouimet his ball clung to the fairways with persistency that must have been disheartening to the Auburndale entrant. In addition | to this Platt bhrought bursts from the gallery of several hundred golf devotees who trudged along with the players by sinking long putts at critical moments and it was freely conceded that ye terday, he was playing a better game | than the man who startled the in- | ternational golf world in 1913 by his great triumph over Ray and Vardon Virtually unknown in national tour- nament circles until yesterday, Platt determined that he must be con- sidered as a factor for the cham- pionship title and his match with S. Davidson Herron of Oakmont will be watched with exceptional interest. Plays Gamely. As in all his golfing battles Ouimet did not go down to defeat without a desperate struggle. All even the end of the morning round he played even more uncertainly during tho first nine holes of the afternoon and was three down at the turn. On the 29th green Platt was four up and it appeared as though Ouimet was des- tined to lose in quick and decisive fashion. He got himself in hand, however, on the next hole and pro- ceeded {o cut down Platt’s advantag holes and from that point on @ the ball with such accurac with one exception, Ouimet eith- won halved hole after hole, un- of the 36 holes of play | tood all even. In heavy rain the pair teed off sain and athough Platt played clean- i all 1 way while Ouimet was in trouble, the 37th was halved. On the 38th and final hole, Ouimet's first two shots were in rough while Platt’s second dropped within four feet of the pin Ouimet took three to reach the green and his fourth was a foot from the cup. Platt rolled up | to the lip of the hole on his third and ended the championship chances of New England’s last representative by dropping the fow inch putr for a four and the match. Fownes and Herron Two of the four places in the semi-final memners of the Oakmont are W. C. Fownes, Jr., a tional champion, who won from George Hoffner of the Philadelphia, and Davidson who easily defeated W. J of Toronto Robert T.

While sever things can happen before the league finally terminates, it will be accepted that the winner of tomorrow’s game will cop the pennant rag, whatever that may of. \ The interest in the game is at fever pitch, and onc of the largest crowds of the season is expected to witness the contest. The cheering ability of both the Landers and Fafnir rooters is well known, so some noise is bound to be heard There appears to be little to choose between the teams. The Fafnir team has neld the league lead from tha start, by goed ball playing. In Oakes they have a fine little flirger, who is ably backed up by Firth, his battery mate. It would not prove surprising if Stanley was seen in action although this is only problematical.
