(Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) OAKMONT, Pa, Aug. 20. HE second round to-day on the Oalmont Links for the National Goit Championship found little Sioux City, out in the wild sage brush, 4s strongly represented as New York. Jack Stearns of the Nassau Club is the only one left of the formidable detachment that came down from Gotham expecting to rothp off with the country’s premier golf honors. And Sioux Gity can easily match the great metropolitan district with its 100,000 Ls with eighteen-year-old Rudolph Knepber, one of the young phen the present tournament has“uncovered. 4 ‘There have been upsets in national meets, but never before has a single round furnished such a wholesale slaughter as the opening round yesterday, -| when New York's entire combination—Jerry Travers, Max Marston, Johnny Anderson and Gardiner White—were squeezed out, Jack Stearns was the ‘| only one to stick, and he had to travel extra holes to win from Dick Bock- enkamp of St. Louis, Because of this sensational reversal, Chicago, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, the far South and West have a big edge over New York in the great melée. - ‘The star matches to-day will be between Bobby Jones and Bob Gardner, 4nd Chick Iivans and Francis Ou!met. The Fvans-Ouimet battle promises to be the most important setto of the eftire championship, aa one of the two chief favorites will be eliminated before night. # Considerable doubt still exists about Ouimet’s real phyyical condition, He has been suffering from tonsilitis for a week and is admittedly below his best form, It would de just liké Oulmet, however, to perform like a wild man to-day, so anxious is he to pit his game against the defending title holder, Evans and Ouimet have met only once. back in 1916, at De-. trolt, during an East and Wi ries, On that mn Evans was three up with only three holes to play, but Oulmet rall itrongly and won all remaining holes and the match on the first extra hole, . Francis Ouimet surprised the golf world in 1918 when he tied and the defeated, in a senwational play off at Brookline, Vardon and Ray for the National Open title. The following year he captured the national amateur championship. After many disappointments Evans finally succeeded in winning both chief titles in 1916, the last year both meets were held, Travers Gives Pathetic Exhibition. From 1906 to 1914 Jerry Travers was the premier of all American ama- teurs. As a match player he was in @ class all alone. After a temporary retirement from competition golf, the veteran decided to try a come-back this year, and belected the present championship as the starting point. Jerry found this as easy as the bird back in old Roman days who tried to carry all the world’s troubles: ‘Travers, who won the national amateur four different times, slipped past the qualifying test Monday with two pretty good rounds. His showing raised hopes with many thet the former idol would come all the way back, but it was @ futile wish. Opposing George Waldo yesterday, Jerry missed so many shots and floundered over the course so badly that it was difficult to believe it was the same Jerry who used to beat many opponents simply by looking at them. Travers had neither strength nor direction to his shots, which made it easy for Waldo to beat him by the wide margin ubstantial lead and his feeble attempts to play the game were really pathetic, ‘ax Marston had the misfortune to run foul of Bob Gardner at a time when’ the former national title holder was under @ spell of extraordinary putting. The former Yale pole vault champion was sinking them from all spots on the greens. At the twenty-first hole Marston had a lead of five holes. At this point it looked promising for tall Max to even up for the trimming Gardner handed him in the semi-finals for the national title in 5 in Detroit, But Max was only pursuing a pretty rainbow, Gardner, who is most dangerous when trailing an opponent, began uncorking some of the most sensational golf that has been flashed at Oakmont. holes were covered in 16 strokes. Marston, overanxious to keep pace with his fast-going opponent, started hitting into numerous traps, and before the gallery actually knew what had happened Gardner pulled up even and finally won out by three up and one to go. Anderson Cguld Not Hit a Balloon, ‘The former national champion made « thrilling finish on his opening round when he sunk a 30 putt on one ‘green and then following on the next one by holing a fifty-footer. The winner said afterward he never had run down ¢o many long putts. fi “Couldn't hit a balloon,” said Johnny Anderson when asked why Wood Platt beat him four up end three to go. John sald the greens threw him, that he missed five putts that were not longer than five feet, There were not many traps and bunkers that Gardner White, the fourth New York victim, didn’t find in his encounter with George Hoffner of Philadelphia, White gave his niblick more exercise than any other clab in order to escape from these pitfalls that caught shots which often fidw far off the line, George Hoffner and C.

He is @ product o* the semi-pro ranks, having sent them over for the St, Patrick’s, the Farmers and the Empire City’s, Quite some rooters turned out t6 wish Jim luck and a ball game. They didn’t have to wish the latter. Ring had che Brooklyn batters breaking their backs trying to hit his delivery, and they could only garner three safe wallops all told. ‘Jim had bi just as it reached the batter the ball took a decided drop and 4 probable base hit was sent to the salvage dump.
