Brookllne. Mass,, Sept. 20. America.i
nerve, skill and grit today again
t-lumphed pver British "form," and ex
perience. Not only outplaying, but out
gaming Harry Vardon and Edward Ray,
the greatest golfers of England, Francis
Ouimet, 20-year-old- Massachusetts boy,
trrned what seemed to bo a certain
British victory in the American ope.i
golf championship into a complete rout.
Ouimet is an amateur. Vardon and
Ray are both professionals and have
held five British championships. They
were crack golf players before Ouimet
was born, but when It came to tho
crucial test It was the veterans who
Billed their drives and missed easy
puts. Vardon and Ray, veterans i
more championship matches than Oiii-J-.et
had ever seen, were the ones wno
lost their nerve, while the boy. who only
a few years ago was t caddy on tho
links over which tho match was played,
remained as steady as a clocl:.
Ray came So this country with a
reputation as A wonderful driver. Yet
Ouimet out-drov him today. On the
greens Oulmet's work was steady and
he holed out 20 and 25 foot putts with
the greatest assurance.
Work Was Always Steady.
There was not tho sllghest falter In
the work of Ouimet, who by winning
todHy, takes virtually tho title of
world's champion. His opponents have
nfothlng on which to base a statement
that he won on a fluke. " Both admitted
they were simply outplayed although
Vardon declared he did not believe he
had ever heard of Ouimet until news
reached Mm of the wonderful game the
boy was playing yesterday when he tied
up the match.
1 Tile links were soggy rrom a heavy
rain when the IS hole play-off was
started, and this was believed to favor
the Englishmen, who are partial to slow
greens. But Ouimet rose to the occa
sion and beat them at this phase of the
game with the physical conditions In
their favor.
The rapid growth of golf as a popu
lar game in this country was clearly
indicated today when SOOO persons
braved the rnln to follow the game. Golf
as a "national" game in Kngland "nas
been In existence for at least 40 years.
It is just 25 years since the first goif
was plavtd in this country.
The Sort of Boy He If.
No better idea of the sort of boy this
new international hero in the sport
world la could be gained than from not
ing th first thing he did after receiv
ing the cup designating him as the
greatest golf player, amateur or profes
sional. Ouimet stammered a bashful
"thank you," and then hurried away to
where hla diminutive caddy, Rddle Lau
rie, was standing. It was Eddie who
trudged faithfully along with him for
rive days, carrying an umbrella and a
bag of sticks. And Ouimet hurried to
lOddie, that he might be the first to ad
mire the cup.
Ouimet was as much surprised as any-
pne that he hud won the title. He ex
pected the Englishmen to show a great
flash of form and swamp him, but his
game was too stiff fpr them. As Ray
put it: "We would have had a chance
if he hod slipped up somewhere but he
persisted in playing perfect golf.
Starting the match, all wore even on
the first hole and although Ray dropped
a stroke behind on the third, all were
even up at the turn.
Drives Straight on Conrie.
Oulmet's drives were straight down
the course while both Vardon and Ray
had encountered some trouble.
Hig us the margin of the story was,
it was not gained until the round was
nearly over. Up to the fifteenth hole
unv one Of" the threu had plenty of
chance to win, for though Ouimet was
ahead, he led Vardon by only one stroke
and Ray by two. The big Ruy was the
first oif the Englishmen to go down
and out, accomplishing his downfall by
n,.lllni. l.nu(,lA IhA flflflanth nnil
railing v 11 np t ... fiun nit .......
taking six strokes for the hole. That
left Ouimet and Vardon to fight It out,
with a stroke to be gained by Vardon if
he were to tie, and only three holes
.left on which to gain It. Each of the
leaders got his three on the little six
teenth and on they went' to the seven
teenth, v here Ouimet saved the'day for
himself yesterday by getting a wonder
ful three.
Seemed Over-Eager.
Tho Englishman seemed over-eager
to save: a few yards by cutting across
the corner of the elbow from the tee
and the attempt caused him to lose all
chances for the title His ball was
caught by a trap and he had to play
out safely without trying to reach the
green. He took five for the bole and
Ouimet, on In two, ran down a twelve
foot put that gave htm the lead of
three clear strokes and clinched the
rhamnlnnshlD beyond doubt. Tho other
two strokes came on the home hole
When Vardon, discouraged and dejected,
needed six for the hole, while the
Boston boy made It In Jour.
' The play off began shortly, after iJ
o'clock, 'In a drilling raln.a continua
tion of the miserable weather that had
mads the second day of the 'champion
ship proper one long to be remembered.
All three; of the contestants made the
first nolo In five, though Ouimet ana
Vardon were close enough on their ap
proaches to have chances to get down;
v -
The key to the players above follows :
I Outfielder Xippert, Vancouver,
a Pitcher Sennits, Vancouver.
3 Pitcher Schmnts, Vancouver.
4 Pitcher Meikle, Seattle.
6 Inflelder Bawlings, Victoria.
6 Pitcher Ingersoll, Vancouver.
7 Outfielder Pappa, Spokane.
8 Pitcher Xantlehner, Victoria.
9 Pitcher Oipe, Seattle.
10 Plrst Baseman Xeilmann, Portland.

long putts. On the second hole, on
which all three were down In four,
Ray and Ouimet had the same kind of
opportunities but missed again, T'n
first break came on the 43." yard third,
for there Ray missed a short putt f3f
his four and Ouimet and Vardon forged
ahead.
Each Made it in Five.
Then came another hole on which
each made five, though Ouimet was ex
ceedingly lucky to keep oji even terms
with the others. His second shot went
out of bounds and over the fence, but
as Ray failed to get t lie green on his
second and Vardon took three putts, th:
American lost nothing by his mistake.
Then at the sixth came another shift.
Vardon pitched his putts to the green
In splendid fashion and the ball stopped
not more than six feet from the cup.
After OulP'et had failed to get down a
long try, Vardon holed hla shot and waa
a stroke ahead of Ouimet and two
strokes In advance of Ray.
A good three on the short seventh
enabled Ray to pull tip on the others,
neither of whom could do better than
four, and he was trailing Vardon on
even terms with Ouimet.
It was all even again when they
holed out on the eighth, for Ouimet
laid his approach to within- a foot of
the pin and went down in three, only
to see Raj hole a 30-foot putt for
throe. A moment later Vardon had to
be content with the par four. The
ninth hole is the longest on the rourse
and the three made It in five apiece,
Vardon having the most work to do,
for his drive was In the edge of the
woods to the left.
That left the score at the turn
Ouimet 38. Vardon 38, Ray 38. It was
a great struggle and the crowd, grow-Ing
every minute, watched the drives from
the tenth breathlessly. The three balls
all reached the green but Oulmet's was
nearest the cup. It looked us thougn
three would be made, but both English
men took three putts while Ouimet was
taking the usual two and the young
amateur went ahead and, as it later
proved, took a lead that never was to
be relinquished. Three fours on the
next hole carried them to the twelfth
which proved to be the turning point of
the round. Ouimet was the only one to
reach the green In two and the British
ers followed up their poor seconds with
the most indifferent eort of short ap
proaches, with the result that neither
of them 'got close enough to get down
In four, which Ouimet promptly pro
ceeded to do and was two strokes
ahead. To be sure, Vardon made up a
stroke by holing a long putt on the next
green, but It was only a reduction of
Oulmet's lead, Instead of squaring
matters.
Ouimet made a slip on the 14th, when
he topped, his second shot, but again
the mistake cost him nothing, us the
others could do no better than fives.
Day's blow up followed and Vardor.'a
end has already been described. Vardon
took a six foot last hole, and when
Ouimet sunk his putt for a four, Ray
led tho cheering of the crowd, which
fairly went wild.
Give Kim Great Reception.
Ouimet was carried away on the
shoulders of his admirers after he had
shown the cup to his caddy and to
night was In the hands of more, than a
hundred enthusiastic golfers. An auto
mobile parade was started and every
golf club within a radius of 20 miles
was visited In the celebration of one of
the greatest international victories in
sport.

RUN LEAD AND BLOW IT
Haps Give Carlisle Ovation
When He Circles Sacks in
Final Frame.
By It. A. Cronln.
Did you ever see hardened ballplayers
fall en masse on the neck of a team
mate who delivered the hit that won
the game? That's what the Venetians
did yesterday afternoon when Walter
Carlisle smashed the bull to center
with- the score five-all and two on.
Carlisle didn't delay the reception that
had been planned for hlnf bv his over
joyed gang, for when Chadbourne let
the ball roll through his tootsies to
the centerfleld fence ho ran all the way
around. Walter wasn t satisfied quite
with what he did ho thought the scor
er should have credited him with a
home run. But Chadbourne's error was
the result of attempting to make a
quick scoop of the low liner and stop
ping McDonald at third. The 8-to-5
victory yesterday makes the count
stand three games to two for the
Beavers. ,
For the second time this week the
Beavers chased Koesner to the bench
at the start of the -game, or rather
Klmer chased himself when he devel
oped the weirdest streaks of philan
thropy since Eddie Klnsella passed
away a victory in the ninth inning
for Sacramento. August 30. In turn.
Hitt, Griffin and Raleigh were called
upon by Hogan, and, although ho
worked but one Inning, Griff get
credit for the succulent victory, for
It was In his time that the batting
rally was staged on Higginbotham and
James. Big Bill did not possess the
deception of last Wednesday, and the
Naps quickly filled up the hassocks at
the end.
Pans Cheer Hogan.
Singularly enough, a large part of
the 4000 fans wildly applauded the
Baine uphill paddling of the Gondoliers.
One of the largest crowds of the sea

struggle, w'hen Hagerman or Krapp

But the detail is the thing. It will
