I Contest Closest Ever Witnessed Wit-nessed in Titular Tourney; Both Players Steady. PITTSBURG, Aug. CO. Francis Ouimet Oui-met demonstrated again today that he Is one of the greatest golfers ever developed In this country by defeating- Charles Evans, one up, on the home hole of the Oakmont Country Coun-try club in the second round of the annual an-nual amateur championship tournament. Playing the game with the same stroke and nerve that gave him International fame in 1313, when he won the open from Ray and Yardon, England's most famous professionals, the Woodiand ciub representative repre-sentative playing from Auburndale, Mass., fought throughout the entire day against the skill and stamina of the Edcre water club star of Chicago, and eventually achieved victory with a marvelous pitch from p!t to home green and a four-foot four-foot putt. His defeat of the holdover amateur and open champion of 191 6 came only after hours of golfing competition, which was the most brilliant ever witnessed in a similar titular tournament. All even at . . the end of the forenoon V holes, the enst- 1 I ern and western rivals renewed their I duel In the aftornoon.- and for a short ' period it appeared as though Ouimet was I to quickly clinch the contest, but ho weak- , ened at the end of the third nine holes I and Evans was quick to take advantage of the opportunity, and after being three 1 down at one time, succeeded In squaring ! the match at the thirty-fourth green. The 1 j next was halved in threes. I Gallery Intensely Interesting. The gallery, one of the largest that ever I witnessed a midweek tournament match I In this country, was absolutely silent as i the pair teed-un for the home-hole play. Evans drove first and Ouimet followed, both reaching far down the fairway -with long shots. Ouimet's second landed in a j deep pit to tho right of the green, whll'? ! EvanB was lust on the edge of the rough I some forty feet from the pin. When Ouimet Oui-met stepped down into the pit he was out of sight of a large part of the spectators, and a great shout of applause snrang j from the gallery when he pitched the ! ball from a cloud of sand to within four feet of the flag. Evans's mashia shot rolled fully twelve feet past the cup. The double titleholder's putt fell short of the hole bv three feet, j Ouimet followed with a gentle trip of his 1 ball, which rolled leisurely to tho bp of I j the cup. paused for the fraction of a second sec-ond and then dropped out of sight, thus terminating one of the most remarkable matches in the history of American golf. Is Close Finish. Not ail of the glorv of the day's golf goes to Ouimet, for the manner in which Evans fought and forced the victor IS j shown by the fact that there was but a j difference of one holo and one stroke at j j the end of one of the hardest matches I , ever plnyed in an nmafcur championship. ' , Ouhrot finished with a total stroke score ! of 150 nnrl Evans with 151, while, the i medal-winning .score n:i Monday was U.K. ! The comeback of the Woodland expert ; wa s all the more impressive, howover. ! from tho fact that he w.-ip far from being ! in perfect physical condition. ,-'; suf-, suf-, ferine: from the efforts of tonsil i tin and 1 unable to take heavy nourishment, lie played the entire thfrty-siy holes with hut nn occasional sin of orange juice, and the efforts of the strain and heat began to show on the final nine holes. The players made but fo-.v mislakes during the morning play. While Ev.ns mlppod til roe putt h which he could have fairly expected to ho. he sank three long ones to mnkp up. He only used thirty-one thirty-one pu?!s ri nrlng thp morning rcund, five less than an average of tv.o putts to a green.
