EVANS FAVORITE IN FINAL MATCH FOR WESTERN TITLE Jimmy Standish, Detroit Star, Expectéd to Give Him Hard Battle To-day. s CLEVELAND, 0., July 24—The largest gallery of the week followed Chick Evans and Jimmy Standish, Detroit star, over the Mayfield Club course to-day in the decisive match for the Western Amateur Golf Asso- clation championship, The Chicago champion was the fa- vorite in the 36 hole round although Standish played @ great game in de- feating Harry Bingham of Cleveland yesterday. * Evans eliminated Ned Sawyer of Chicago, whose playing had been the sensation of the week. NEW LONDON, CONN,, July 4.— Play in the open golf championship at the Sheneocossett Country Club, Eastern Point, began to-day, when thirty two-somes were sent away, the first pair at 9® o'clock, Eighteen holes were played and a similar num- ber is scheduled for this afternoon. In the final round of the course the field will play in four-somes after the morning eliminations. Early predic- tions were for some low scores, though it was doubted whether the course record of seventy-one, made early in the season by Carl H. Ander- son the professional in charge, would be duplicated. NEWTON, Mass, July 24.—Prancia Oulmet, national amateur golf cham: pion, and W. C. Chick, a former inte: collegiate Utle holder, will play the final match of the Massachusetts Amateur Golf Association Tournament at the Woodland Club course to-day. Outmet |defeated Percy Schofleld, one of the younger players, by the score of 9 to 8, in the semi-final round, and made a new record for the out holes at 34, the match ending on the tenth green. Chick eliminated 8. Sterne ot Tat- nuck In the same round by 2 wy — Dundee Whips Joe Rivers While the losing of many a horse race has been attributed to a horse carrying too much weight, the same lreason can be given for the defeat of Joe Rivers, the Mexican fighter, by Johnny Dundee, the fast local light- weight, in their ten-round battle at Ebbets Fleld in Brooklyn last night. Rivers entered the ring weighing 139 pounds, which was entirely too much for him to fight at. As @ result of this extra weight Rivers was slow on his feet, which enabled Dundee, with his speed and quick hitting, to Jand repeatedly in eight of the ten sessions. In the first round a right ewing floored Rivers, In only two rounds did Rivers make any kind of a fight, they being the ninth and tenth. In these ses- sions Rivers took a chance to swap punches with Dundee with the resuit that he shook the little Italian fighter up considerably with his punches In the semi-final Harry Pierce, of South Brooklyn, bad to ‘stop at the end of the sixth round of his bout with Phil Bloom owing to @ broken left hand. The bout was an interest- ing one up to that time and Pierce was making an excellent showing. More Records for Langer.
