By Walter Hagen. 1H last of; the British golfers was eliminated from the ama- teur championship at Roslyn when my friend Tommy Armour, the Scotch and French champion, was dropped from the tournament by Francis Ouimet, the Boston star. Tommy told me after the match that he had simply met a better man and that he had no excuses to offer. This may be so, but the Scotchman lost all| of his advantage on the first six holes. He dropped the first three in @ row And then the sixth. It left him fighting an uphill bate all day and no ono can give Francis Ouimet a start of four holes and catch him. Armour played bis mashle-niblick rather poorly, 1 thought. Over in Scotland it ls mostly the pitch and run, but here there is need of a high shot to the green with a lot of back spin. I noticed this particularly on the short fourteenth hole, where Ouimet held’ his tee shot every time and Tommy skidded over, The same thing that happened hero happened on many other greens, There was little left to choose from between these two through the green, Oulmet had the edge on the drive most of the time, but Armour's iron shots were a revelation, He sure can play this hot, The golf displayed by Bobby Jones was uncanny, Seven “threes” fell his way, whieh enabled the Atlanta youngster to get a 72, by far the Lest performance that has been shown at the Engineers’ Club this week. Bobby swept aside Fred Wright without the slightest trouble and in doing #0 cleaned out @ dangerous man, He will get a chance at Oulmet to-day and there are many who believe that he has a good chance to beat him. There were several bets made that he would win and the odds quoted were 7 to 5, I would not be surprised to see Bobby win this match, as he has 60 far exhibited the best golf of any man in the tournament. He should not lose his nerve against Oulmet, Chick vans did not let Bill Fownes get h headway on him yesterday and he kept the Pittshurgh veteran down by a brand of golf that would have beaten almost any of thé con- testants, Chick was playing far pet- ter than he did on the yy previous, He will meet Ned Allis to-day. The Milwaukee golfer has been the syr- | prise of this tournament and there ig a chance that he will get away with Chick, but It ts hardly Mkely Allis putted his way to the semi- finals, In every match he got several long ones down, which has helped a lot, In most cases he is out-driven, but Ned has @ habit of hanging on to the Inat ditch, The Ideal contest would, of course, Evans and Oulmet in the final. Thiy ts looked for by nearly every one and tt should furnish a great battle, but Bobby Jones 1s to be con- sidered seriously. Here ts @ case where the three greatest amateurs in America are found in the sem|-fnals, It speaks well for the as a testing links, golf pros are interested nament, 1 counted at least thirty of them in the gallery yester+ day.

TO SLEEP Two-Year-Old Winners - Acquire Speed Suddenly oe re PRET wee PEE ETT RC IT a ae Also Clash To-Day on Roslyn Links. By William Abbott. HE meeting of Bobby Jones, the boy wonder from the South, and Francis Ouimet in the semi-finals for the Nationa} amateur to-day on the Engineers’ Club course should preduce one of the greatest battles every fought on American Mnks. For thrills and brilliancy of shots It ought to be a reproductivn of the famous Oulmet-Hvans clash at Oakmont last year that wad only decided by a five-foof putt on the home green. e The other match to-day brings together Evans and Ned Allis of Mil- waukee. This affair, according to all angles of the dope, should ‘be a nice comfortable warm-up for Evans. The outcome of the Jones-Oulmet scrap, however, is a horse of another color. When the final returns are in it wil be the breaks that decided the issue #8 the two stars &re too evenly rated to encourage any contident predict- ing. And there will likely be | ..uer- ous breaks, little sudden twists of lugk, for never was the amateur giaesic held on any course that was such a gamble with fate as the En- gineers' course with its severe danger spots and difficult rolling greens. It Is now well-known golf hi how Francis Oulmet, when twenty- one, chime out of obscurity with his memorable defeat of Vardon and Ray at Brookline in 1913 in the play-oif for the National Open Championship. The following year at Ekwanok the Boston star won the amateur blue ribbon, defeating Jerry Travers in the finals, That same year Oulmet made an ill-fated trip to Great Brit- ain. Bobby Jonés, elghteen last 3 has been a sporting phenom Sickly as a child, the boy from At- lanta took up the game of golf when seven as a sort of health restorer. The youngster must have had a nat- ural ap.itude for the sport. When only twelve he won the Georgia state championship. Steward Maiden, while at the Druid Hills Club at At- lanta, gave Bobby lessons how the different clubs should be played, buy the little Scotchman takes very little credit for the finished product. He sys Jones practically taught himself. And the game the Southern prodizy now, plays has been pronounced the soundest of any American amateur by no less an authority than Walter J. Travis.
