CHARLES EVANS VIS AMERICAN GOLF TITLE IN SENSATIONAL PLAY Young Chicagoan Is. First to Win Both Amateur and ; Open Championships, SURPRISES ON GREENS Oreatest Am arioso BCatdi PUrn and Greatest American Medal Flayer Xs Zsgvfal U Ttrrlflo Hatch. Philadelphia, Sept. 9. Charles (Chick) Evan, Jr.. of Chicago, open champion of the United Htates, came ' Into the ambition of hla life thlp after., noon at Merlon. After years of effort, Evans has fln ' ally won the amateur American golf championship. Ha lifted the crown 'from the brow of Robert ..A. Gardner, also of Chicago, former champion, on the thirty-third hole of the all-day rlnd, to the tune of 4 and 8. Chick, 'all smiles, was ridden to the clubhouse , partly on the shoulders of the huge gathering. He Is now emperor of all ; he surveys In American golfdom. For ' tha first time In the history of Amer ica th open champion has won the amateur title also. Putting did It. The purple-mantled 'Chick, touted as the worst putter among the stars of America, came back ; on the greens over the beautiful Hav , orford links and actually won the greatest match ever staged In thla - country on hla merits at putting. He nearly sank a SQ-footer on the terminal hole and took all the kick out of tha champion by setting his- ball upright dead. I' Aluminum Putter Wins. Gn hole after Hole he swung firmly ht aluminum putter and ran them up o close that he did not have to try ' most of the time to sink his last putts. Oifdner was plainly nonplussed at thla Strange turn of affairs, for he had fig ured that all the breaks would come to him on the greens. Hefore he could save himself he was down, his crown was wobbling, and he was In desperate traits. He could not bottle his own rollers, a, thing ha usually finds no trouble in doing. He stood with spread legs and lifted head even In the last trench and fought ' off the enemy with beautiful rourafie. He pulled level at the twenty-third hole, and was only "one down at the three-quarter post. But Chick nevr played a better match, and never gave the tottering king a chance. It was a finish fight between tha greatest American match player and the greatest 'American medal score - player. Summary of Holn. Ktrst hole far fonr. won by Fana. Oard ner mitdrova Erina 80 yard.

The victory of Junor over Russell Smith brings to light the fact that a number of Important golf matches havo been won and lost on the 13th green of the Waverley Country club course. In the 1916 state championship tournament. Forrest Watson of the Waverley Country club was leading Rudolph Wllhelm 1 up. Wilhelm won this hole, despite the fact that his drive landed behind, the group of trees, which proved the undoing of Smith. In the finals played on tbe following day, WJlhelm was a victim of the thir teenth hole, for It was on this green that Smith took the lead that gave him the championship. Smith practically lost his match on the thirteenth, for Junor won that hole and the next four, which gave him the match after Smith had held the upper hand through the early part of the match.
