By Harry Vardon. (Written Exclusively for The Evening World.) Boston, Sept. 20. F’: general excitement and a sensational finish the nineteenth national open golf championship of the United States at the Brookline Coun- try Club yesterday was one of the most remarkable tournaments | have ever played in. I do not recall a more startling finish than yester- which resulted in a triple tie between Francis Oulmet, Edward Ray and myself. The cioseness of the meet when three tied for first and four for fourth place showed how bitterly fought was the battle. IT have only the highest praise for Francis Oulmet. The showing of the twenty-two-year-old amateur from the Woodland Club has few equals. His score was no accident or fluke. He played good golf and deserved all he got. He was justly entitled to his hard won tle. Until yesterday I had never seen and I don't be- lieve ever heard of the Massachusetts amateur, My) final round was over early, and, hearing of Oulmet's| wonderful morning performance, I quickly changed my} clothes, and in company with “Ted” Ray I was anxious to see the youngster in action, and went out on the} links to meet him, I quickly saw enough to convince} me thut young Ouimet was a real golfer. He is very confident of his ability, understands his shots and plays them well. In my opinion he plays a good A slip up of this nature js caused by over confidence, But Ray couldn't get going right, Me made a mess of the fourth tee. He drove within ten yards of 4 bunker and then fluffed his second shot plump into It, He recovered well, but then took three putts on the green. Again at the seventh my team mate pulled his drive to left of the green and then had to take a four to hole out. It was performances like this that prevented both of us from doing better than 79, It was simply: tossing away our chancer, Woe were so disgusted that all hope was given up of finally winning, but a number of your players who had # good chance found the wet conditions very trying and didn’t realize on their opportunity. The tension of waiting around until those men came in and waiting to see what they did was terrific. Even Louis Telller of France, who drives a tremendous ball for such a little chap, nt one time had a chance of winning, but the Frenchman couldn't keep up his 35 pace for the first nine holes and finished at 307, It wae a big rellef for us to finally know that Ouimet accomplished what he did and that the suspense was over. Candidly, both Ray and myself didn't expect such a stubborn fight at Hrookline. §We only knew personally a very few American players, but quickly discovered that the standard of golf in this country was higher than we anticl- pated, The tine scores made Thursday morning tn the first round of medal play by a large nuinber of the local men was a good Indication of the atrength of the home golfers. At the English champlonship at Hoylake last spring we thought that the visiting American team was the strongest the United States could send, but, Judging by the Brookline championships, thia country has several other men Just as strong. McDermott impresses British Players. ‘We were very favorably impreswed with John J. McDermott, national open champion, in England, and came over expecting a atiff fight from him. He lived up to our expectations when, after a disappolgting first day, he rallied nobly and finished with 908 Walter Hagin, J, M, Barnes, who T hear has made a big reputation on the Pacific Coast; Macdonald Smith and Mike Brady were always threatening and we were feariul that one of these golfers or some one else would dart out in front with a sensational burst of speed, something that Americans delight in doing. ‘The behavior of the gallery and the arrangements for the tournament were of the same standard that characterized the playing, Seldom have I seen gal- leries in England or elaewhere that were better handled than these out at Brookline this week. The spectators knew the etiquette of the game and did not intrude on the course. ‘The committee officials did excellent work keeping the greens clear and every contestant had fair play. It has heen gratifying to me to see the intense interest shown by many in golf here now. ‘When 1 was here last, in 1900, there were only sixty entries for the national championships at Wheaton, and the crowds were ‘lim. Since then the sport has grown very popular in the United States, and the best proof of this was tho sight of hundreds yesterday, braving the rain, travelling over the links to seo thelr favorites play. The courses have also improved, During the last month I have played on some mighty fine Unks in this country. The Brookline links are bully and out In Cleveland and Detrott I found two courses that were I understand that there are many other good ones scattered over the United States, but, in all fairness, 1 believe that the leading courses here are still just a little inferior to the best ones in England and Scotland, In conclusion, 1 desire to say a word about the fine reception that has been extended to the English team, Everything possible has been done for us and | we are grateful for the hearty reception, Both Edward Ray and myself plan | to engage in a few more tournaments here before returning home, and we trust that our stay in this country) wi result in @ long spell of success gor golf here, THE EVENING WORLD, ANOTHER: HARD BLOW FOR W FOR JOHN & Copyright, 1818 by The Prees Publishing Ce.

This rain, which waa in Pittsburgh Thursday, by the way, also blotted out a game at which the Phillies had @ chance and thereby gave the champton Gianta another point or two in thelr final spurt to the wire, While the Champs were breaking even yesterday the PhilKes tied one and lost one, which dropa them back @ half game because there is no place in the future bookings for @ play-off of etther the rained out game or the tle. IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY OUT FULL SCHEDULE. While the Giants, according to the figures, have seventeen games to play, they really can play hut fifteen of them, and one of those is the fractional affair with the Phillica caused by that now famous protest. The Phillies are twenty-three games ahy of their echedule, but it is impossible for them to play that number, aa the weather ond the tie took two away from them at Pittsburgh and also wiped out one at Bt.
