Miss Martha Guthrie of Pittsburgh, became the champion in the ladies' singles in the Tri-State tennis tournament by ati Afar virtue of her victory over garet Da via of St. Paul. Bjurstedt, the Norwegian, was the 1915 champion, but owing to the fact that she did not defend her title, Miss Guth- rie automatically becomes champion She beat-Miss Davis two sets out of liil CC, v-i, O-W Ct liU U-U. William M. Johnston of San Fran- Cisco, former national tennis cham- pion.

won a leg on the Tri-State bowl, emblematic of being Tri-State cham- pion by defeating Willis E. Davis of of 6-3, 6-2, 5-7 and 6-0. Clarence J.

She seemed fully revived in the third set, though, and displayed the accuracy she showed in the first set. This was love set, and she won mostly through her ability to outplace the St. Paul woman.

The final score was 6-0. Johnston's victory was mainly due to his steadiness, and to his ability to play at the top of his game at critical moments. Davis' play was spectacular in the extreme, and on numerous occasions his terrific service, as well as his backhand volleying, appeared almost to baffle Johnston. It was in u. scores of 7-5.

When the match was called in the fifth set the score stood 3-1 in favor of Davis and Mathey. The yti -i V. will ha r. 1 fT .1 and Flagg got it right back in the thir- teenth, taking the unlucky hole in 3-4. The.

Tt looked like a halved hole, the Prince- ton players having a chance for a 5, being dead to the pin, and with Herron 20 feet away it looked a safe bet that the hole was going to be halved. But Herron sank his putt and the match was over.

Tyrne Jones, the greatest golfing kid to date on this terrestrial ball.

His skill is due mainly to his stamina of nerve and muscle that keeps his courage on ice where it is productive of unprecedented certainty, without machinelike regularity. Until physical fatigue sets in, Bobby is the surest shot of his years and more, in all golfing annals. But after all at 14 and 7 years he cannot do the day's work of a grown man. Jf he could, he would conquer the golfing universe before he is 20 and then spend the balance of his lifo in retrospection, like Alexander the Great. But even that would scarcely be more unnatural than the backhanded career of Francis Ouimet, who began with the nuts of the golfing repast and is working back to the soup.

Who can doubt shattering to flaky flinders the tradition that it is a physical impossibility for the same man to hold the two biggest titles, the same season, will clear the path to still, greater accomplishment. It was a line as imaginary as the equator and what's more it didn't serve, like latitude and longitude, for reckoning as to one's whereabouts. So many years have flown since John Bull turned that trick on the other side, his performance under rapidly changing conditions, didn't seem possible of repetition.

A. XiOwrie or tne orange and Black had a tough proposition on nis hands in Austin Flagg, Harvard, ana it was only after a desperate strug- gje that he managed to turn what ap- peared to be an inevitable defeat into a victory. He was 1 down and 2 to go, but pulled the match out of the fire by 'taking the last two holes, winning 1 up. It was necessary for Lowrie to win his match to insure a clean sweep for i nis team, oomg out. ne naa a to Flagg's 43, but was 2 down.

Evans had the easier end of the draw, which spared him between the first round and the semi-final, and he put up plenty of variable play in during the middle of the week, yet no one who viewed the field from a thou- i angles, in sax days, can believe that had Evans and Gardner exchanged places between the upper and lower i Li.

i half, the result would have been sub- stantially different. Chick's stock ad- dixcru lilt? uif auuiiu in NTln WHtr, nT Whitney next to Oswald Kirkby, has been the most consistent of all Metropolitan players this season. Between Whitney and Bobby Jones, the former would ordinarily be deemed the harder proposition. Most folk were glad to see Chick win, because he has been in quest of first place as long as Lieutenant Peary was in chasing the North Pole, and meantime had annexed practically every other worthwhile trophy in his reach. There were two poles to divide honors, but no North and South nation-wide amateur championship, despite high- sounding similar phrasing coined by hotel resort tournament manufacturers.

It was seven years ago that Chick made his bow ln the National Amateur, when Chandler Egan beat him 1 down in the semi-final, while the next year, at Brookline, he fell to William C. Fownes, by the same showing and at the same stage. In 1911, too, at Apawamis, he passed out in the semi-final to Fred Herreshoff by 3 and 2, while in 1913, at Garden City, he succumbed in the penultimate round to J. G. Anderson by 2 and 1.

In fact the only time Chick ever reached the final, until last Saturday, was in 1912 at Wheaton, when Jerome Travers. tanned his hide and nailed it to the door of the Chicago Club's hut. To lose by 7 and 6 was nothing short of a rout for the idol of the Windy City after being only 1 down at lunch eon. Chicago had placed its money on Chick in such large bundles that they had to be fastened with wire, like baled hay. Before the afternoon turn had been reached the lake populace was on the run for the railroad station, as if to escape from infantile paralysis, with blanched faces that recalled the woodcut in Peter Parley's history of the dismayed Russians fleeing from the burning of Moscow.

Can it be wondered that Evans finally composed a "pome," of which the following are samples, and used to sing it in a piping voice whenever his cup of misery appeared to be overflowing? Seldom did it fail to bring tears to the eyes of listeners. I've a seml-flnal hoodoo. I'm afraid: I ean never do aa you do, Jimmy Braid. 1 ve a genius not to do it; I excel at almost to it. But I never can go through it, Tm afraid.

Now, It's Jutt as plain as can be I can't putt. So I must an also ran be, ln a rut. Hilton, could I do aa you do. Oh. a mascot for my hoodoo; Travis, tell me how 'tis you do It, that small putt.

Oh! a mascot, for I'm ever one of four. Quart refoli and horse enow never bring me more, A new mascot do I need. Hoodoo-proof and guaranteed; To the tiiials it will lead nothing more. -4- -t- For a couple of seasons, although Evans" putting has steadily improved, paradoxically his showing in the National has been worse than ever for both years he lost in the first round at Ekwanok in 1914 by 1 down to Eben Byers and last year at Detroit to Edwards Sawyer by 6 to 5. Last year the siuation was unbearable for it was to a Westerner at the very threshold and by such a margin.

But it is ever darkest Just before day. So much for the sentimental side! now to the technical. Evans' win over such a superlatively trapped course as Marion ends the criticism as to the value of his performance at Minikahda, which has as few hazards as any well-known course the country over. "Bill" Fownes is reported as having said that Merion was the most scientifically trapped links he had ever played over in this country. George S.

Lyon, after barely failing to qualify, couldn't help noting the difference between the course and Englewood. where in 1906, he was runner-up and wondered what Eben Byers, who beat him there, could do amid Haverford's endless troubles. Somehow it did seem to contenders, last week, as if Hugh Wilson. Robert Lesley and Howard Perrin had sent the Merlon hazards on rollers and shifted them, around several times a day as stage hands would scenery. There's a message, too, for every golfer in Evan's success, whether you are after the capital prize, a sectional title, the home club leadership or merely sweating blood to reduce your handicap.

It is that patient effort seldom fails to bring reward. The message is important enough to have gone into the first paragraph. If there were space, H. M. Clarke K) is 72 S.
