im GARDNER i IS NEW GOLF CHIP OP U. S. , t Chicago Man Beats New Bq Yorker in Battle for Vi Game's Highest Honor; i, Match Interesting. DETROIT. Sept. 4. America's amateur .. oif champion Is a youth from the middle -est. Robert A. Gardner of the Hinsdale "lub, Chicago, swept the last survivor JVWPO the cast to defeat this afternoon V:ii the final match of thirty-six holes for he national title. He outdrove and out-.layed out-.layed John G. Anderson of the Slwanoy .lub. Mount Vernon. N. v.. and his win--j;.ing margin was 6 up and o holes to play. !?; This is the third great feat of the cham-ISalOn's cham-ISalOn's career. He acnieved national recog- ltlon as a golfer in 1909, when he won the amateur championship from Chandler LwjteSUi of Chicago al Wheaton. 111. His . 'ther victory occurred on an athletic r leld. As a member of the Yale truck .-.earn he held the world's pole vault record ; or a week with a mark of IS feet 1 ; nch. ' Gardner's victory would have been even ' lore one-sided had he played his morn-ng morn-ng round with the sajne accuracy that vie displayed this afternoon. Anderson m tad a lead of 1 up when the first elght-; elght-; en holes were completed. Four times 14 uring that much of their contest Gaxd-Ier Gaxd-Ier missed putts of three reet or less. p the afternoon his short game was fully effective as Anderson's. This gave iardner an Important advantage, for his remendous drives far outclassed those f his opponent. Flayers who had comet com-et ed in the tournament earlier in the .eek said that Gardner at times drove & is ball farther than any man who fig-ired fig-ired in the championsip play, not even : -xcepting Jesse Guilford of Boston. '"Approach Accurate. The regularity with which the Chi-i-.agoan dropped his approach shots on the .,';reen seemed to disconcert Anderson. 'he latter, who has been regarded as one 1 -f the steadiest stars in the American "i olf firmament, began to force his tee rhots and mid-iron drives. Some exerts ex-erts thought that Anderson was com-.elled com-.elled to do so to get greater distance . nd take his chances with the uncertain " esults. Instead of using his easy, -'-mooth swing, the New York man lunged avagely with his driving- clubs and In he middle of his efforts seemed to often Dse direction. His ball explored sand Its. bunkers, tall grass, wagon ruts, raps and forests and he climaxed his : oor luck by driving into the brook which uards the fairly short twelfth hole. This . hot occurred in the afternoon while play-ng play-ng the thirtieth hole of the match and it . ractically clinched the championship for Jardner. iardner Works Easily, - The western star, with all the grace of trained athlete, displayed little-outward effort. His lithe body braced as his Long, powerful arms swung his club and he ball usually traveled 200 yards or more . -.own the bourse. On one area Gardner propped his second drive on a green more " nan 500 yards from where he had teed "ff. He consistently made no effort to -stole his third-shot, being seemingly con-nt con-nt to obtain a safe four and therefore xive Anderson no chance to cut down his L'ead. This method of play proved suc- essful. It not only improved Gardner's - hots on the green, but had more or lesB to do with the fact that Anderson won rnly one hole during the afternoon. ; The match ended when the thlrty-sec- nd green was taken bv Gardner. "From he thirty-first tee, 16 yards away, the "resterner sent his ball high in the air ?nd it dropped on the green not far from 3he flag. Anderson drove short, just behind be-hind a bunker. His third shot did not :ouch the cup. Gardner tried for a 2. -ut missed his putt by a foot. Before pe could follow up the effort, Anderson Liad conceded the match, but Gardner Carelessly tapped his ball into the opening open-ing before the gallery surged around im. The forenoon medal cards were: ... Gardner Out, 39; in, 3S; a total of 77. ' Anderson Out, in 39, and back In 7 for a 76. Gardner equaled par, 37, going out In :he afternoon, and Anderson took 41. jardner Consistent. ' Of the thirty-two holes, Gardner shot seventeen In par, was under for four -imes and above on ten occasions. An-erBon An-erBon bettered par twice, equaled it ighteen times and fell below the mark n twelve greens. The scores were con-idered con-idered fair for experts, but both rounds ere lacking in spectacular features. i The course was much slower than yes-erday yes-erday when the eun blazed on greens -hat were dry as tinder. Fog settled iown overnight and showers swept the Inks intermittently until noon. The finalists began morning play In he rain, which was considered respon-lble respon-lble for the small gallery. Gardner's oor puttlug marked the play for the Jrst nine and the match was square at ,he turn. Coming in, Anderson took the welfth and fourteenth In par, but his ead was cut to 1 up when he was short -t the eighteenth and Gardner sank his econd. y Each started out poorly before a large ;allery after lunch and halved the nlne-eenth nlne-eenth hole after taking two putts. An-lerson An-lerson laid Gardner two stymies at the wentieth. but It went to the Yale man -5 and the match was square. Gardner took the lead when hla sec-md sec-md reached the twenty-first green and Anderson's approach hit a trap. When he former sank his putt for a 4-5 vlc-ory, vlc-ory, he virtually was champion, because le held a margin the rest of the way. oor seconds were Anderson's chief dlf-Iculty dlf-Iculty and he lost the twenty-third, wenty-fourth, twenty-ninth, thirtieth nd thirty-second holes. A partial sty-nie sty-nie which Anderson laid on the twenty-tfth twenty-tfth gave him that green 3-4. A second victory for western cracks ollowed the conclusion of the final round.
