Big Ted Ray, of Oxhey, England,
the mightiest slugger and the great-;

after twenty years' delay. Those Who
followed and watched saw one of the
great tregedies of snort, the great mas?
ter fighting- for his final title, holding
it for one brief moment and then col?
lapsing on the edge of victory where
just one well played shot would have
carried him safely through. So Vardon
passed out at the moment when it
looked as if he would break a 70 and
spreadeagle the big field.
' Vardon's collapse left the battle
among Ray, Dicgel and Hutchinson, with
Hagen and Barnes too far behind to
make a fight. Jack Burke, of St. Paul,
unknown to the crowd, had turned in
ne 72s, which left him tied with
Var Ion at 206.
Kay .slipped on the eleventh and
twelth, and when lie needed a 5 at the
fifteenth and seventeenth holes by fail?
ing to atchh the green with his irons
both Diegc-1 and Hutchinson had a
chance.
| The last nine holes for this pair
were heart-breakers. Both had four
foot putts to hole a 3 at the tenth,
and both missed by a hair. Diegel
? started home with two 4s. _ At the
long twelfth he had an eight-foot putt
to beat par, but barely missed; but
even as J'. was he had caught and
I Bobby Jones Takes 299,

passed Ray, leading him by a stroke.
A compactly played mashie shot left
him a putt for a 2 at the short thir?
teenth, but even when he missed he
stood upon the fourteenth tec a stroke
to the good of the field.
This hole brought his disaster. His
drive, half topped, caught the plateau,
rolled upon the fairway and left him
a full brassie to a green he should
have reached with an eas,y mashie.
His brassie shot was ' hooked to a
trap and his niblick recovery ieft him
short of the green. Failing to get dead
? on his chip shot he took a six and
, from one stroke in the lead fell back
I of Ray. A par 4 at either the fifteenth
| or sixteenth would have saved the day.
j But he was short on his second coming
j to the fifteenth and his iron shot, after
a fine drive, caught trouble in a tie.on
I the next hole. The four strokes that
he lost to par on these three holes
wrecked his chance to win, after one
j of the gamest battles any young golfer
. ever made to reach the top.
Hagen had no excuse. In a fine posi
| tion, tied with Ray and Vardon at the
j morning start, he began badly and
inever hit his stride, it was no longer
a matter of catching one man but of
beating out five veteran campaigners.
?Out in 41, the open champion from lnst
; year, saw that he was through. He
j lacked the old dash and confidence
which once helped to carry him through
'and when his putts failed to drop in he
saw that his scepter was slipping.
Hutchinson Fights Hard
Jock Hutchinson fought hard to the
finish, but the fourth hole took the
championship from him and gave it to
Ray. In the morning round Jock was
in the grassy side of a trap within
thirty feet of the pin in two. He
pitched out to within 12 feet of the
cup. His bid for a four overran twe
feet, and he needed a six.
On this same hole in the afternoon
Ray was short on his approach, but
using his putter, just the same he ran
down a 40-footer for a 3. But golf ii
full of such unexpected turns, and i1
was Ray who made fewer strokes foi
the 72-hole test, and this stands as th<
answer. Throughout the day he puffet
j serenely upo nhis pipe, whether it
trouble or straight down the fairway
j and in hi? behalf it might be said tha
! he missed a three-foot putt at th?
j eighth and a putt of eighteen inches a
I the ninth, which kept him from goin?
i out in 33. So after these things evei
? up destiny.
Ray. when he needed distance, wa
i thirty yards longer than any one else
: and certainly no one in the field san
! any larger number of missablo putt
from ten to forty feet. And afte
watching him putt you could see tha
it was no matter of luck. The smooth
' ness, ease- and deftness of touch wer
1 all there, with every putt truly struc
I upon the right line.
Evans Leads Amateurs
Chick Evans led the amateurs at 29?
| w;th Bobby Jones a stroke behind r
200. Both played sound golf, bi
j neither found any luck upon the green
I Jones, after starting badly in the morr
s inc round, played the last fourtee
I holes in 4 under 4s, but this was hi
final charge. Jack Burke's total of 1
; was the best double round of the da
; but his first thirty-six holc-3 left him
j bit too much to do.
Ray. by his victory, obtained reven?
for his "defeat seven years ago an
added to the British margin at gol
which is now almost complete. Tl

One Poor Hole on Final Round
Proves Undoing of Four Experts
V a r f 1 o n, Hutchinson,
Diegel, Burke All Suffer
'Breaks' at Critical Stage j
By Ray McCarthy
TOLF.OO, Aug. 13. It's a sad tale !
the four players who finished in a tie ?
for second in the national open golf
championship, a stroke behind burley
"'. Ray, will have to relate for the
rest of the season.
"If it hadn't been for that one hole,
I would now be wearing the U. S. golf
crown."
That is what Harry Vardon can tell
the f?)!ks3 in England when he returns.
Leo Diegel undoubtedly will inform
the members of the Lake Shore Club
of how tho fourteenth proved his
ruination. Jaunty Jock Hutchinson
will have the same tale of woe for
students at Glen View. Jack Burke
, can tell St. Paul and the world fair
; that one badly played hole kept him
I iron? becoming a national hero.
All four took a 6 on par -I holes, ana
: had all or any of them avoided wast
i ing two shots in such manner they
; would have finished in front, for, ex
| cepting the one instance on the after?
noon round, each played practically
perfect golf.
As wo stated yesterday, the grand i
?scramble would be decided on the
I greens: And so it was. Hagen lost
j his chances by missing several easy
I taps on his morning: round. The others
i also passed up several chances in this
respect, including Vardon, Evans, Mac
j Donald, Brady and Jones.
However, there was a raft of feature
putts turned in bv the various contest- ?
' ants, which gave the galleries many a
thrill. Evans dropped a thirty footer, ;
for instance, on the fourteenth in the
I morning. Vardon sank one of twenty
j five feet on the fifteenth. McLeod
j holed a thirty footer on tho fifth,
I Jones one of twenty feet on the sixth,
, and his forty footer on the thirteenth
was ?vbout the best or longest of the
tournament. Incidentally, both of
these helped him materially in scoring
a 70 for the morning round.
It ?3 generally conceded that Ted
Ray is about the longest driver of any
of the players here. But this nYOrning
MacDonald cut loose with one that gave
the crowd something to talk about. He
smote one on the nose on the seven?
teenth that carried a distance of 325
yards to the edge of the hill and which
Left him an easy mashie pitch to the
green.
-
The new champion was extremely
i fortunate in ?rettin?: a par 5 on the
I ninth hole on his mornir/f round. He
I sliced his drive very badly and just
' escaped going out of bounds. Then he
j hooked his second to a trap and ?ex
claimed, as he strode along, "I suppose

But he got out on to the fairway in ,'),
laid his 1th on the green and holed
a long putt for his par 5.
Marty Marshall, who formerly cad
died for Chick Evans and who was
with him ?-hen he won the champion?
ship, came over from Chicago this
morning to bring Chick into victory.
When Evans finished his round this
afternoon he immediately hustled out
and cadditnl the rest of the round for
Diegel, in hopes that he might aid the
young lake shore stur keep the cup in
the United States.
Paddy Doyle, whose forte is recover?
ing from traps, bunkers an?i other diffi?
cult places, made the brown derby shot
of the day. He hooked his second on
the ninth fairway to the top of the
pre?s tent, and they had to take down
the canvas to allow Paddy to play his
third.
Despite the fact that the clubhouse
here is still under construction and
that the transportation facilities from
the city to the course were inadequate,
tin- meet was handled as efficiently as
in any other years.

After Five Sets
Williams and Harte Take
Doubles Finals From
Johnston and Griffin
By Fred Hawthorne
NEWPORT, R. I., Aug. 13.-Richard
Norris Williams 2d and Richard Harte,
of Boston, defeated William M. John?
ston and Clarence J. Griffin, of Califor?
nia, by a score of 6?2. 3?6, 7?5, 2?6,
6?3, this afternoon in the final round
match of the annual invitation lawn ten?
nis tournament on the turf courts of
the Newport Casino, thus gaining partial
atonement for the. all-California tinge
to the singles semi-final round matches
which were played in the m?^rning. In
these Johnston defeated Willis E. Davis
by a score of 7?5, 6?4, G ?4, while i
Griffin'eliminated Roland Roberts in a!
four-set struggle by 6?1, 1?6, 7?5, i
6?1.
The mixed doubles reached into the '
semi-final brackets, the combinations of!
Mrs. Lori Hard Spencer and P. C. Baggs,?
Mrs. Lewis Gouverneur Morris and j
Richard Hinckley, Mrs. W. Goadby Loew '
and Charles M. Bull jr. and Mrs. Bar- :
ger Wallach and Commander C. C. Gill I
coming through as victors over strong
opposition.
The tournament will con.e to a bril- ;
liant finish to-morrow, when Johnston!
meets Griffin for the great ?ilver chai- j
lenge bowl in the singles, and the I
mixed doubles will be finished in the'
afternoon. Johnston and Griffin will
start their match at 11 a. r...
Johnston the Real Star
The doubles brought out the most
brilliant tennis of the day, with all fotir j
players in turn showing to .advantage. '
Looking at the match as a whole, how- j
ever, it seemed to me that Johnston I
was a bit better than the others. Harte |
was the most spectacular with his truly |
herculean smashes of Griffin's lobs, but :
little Johnston was on the ball like a
hawk every minute, and when he was
up at the net for an overhead shot you
had the settled conviction that the sin?
gles champion was going to put the
ball "away" for good and all, and it
was rarely that he disappointed us.
Williams, a tremendously improved
doubles player, brought off some of
the most ?azzling shots in the match,
his low backhand volleys, beautifully
angled across fore court, earning his |
side many placement aces. The former
singles champion was also scoring frc
quently with wonderfully accurate
drives squarely between Johnston and
Griffin down the center of the court.
Griffin played splendid, tactically
sound tennis in the second, third and
fourth sets. In the first he. with
Johnston, had not worked into the full
swing of his game and in the fifth set
he was plainly tired, as was? Johnston,
undoubtedly the result of their sins!?;.?
matches in the morning. It was in
the final stages of this se: that Griffin
weakened perceptibly.
Harte Saves His Team
Believing that Harte would be the
vulnerable point in the opposing team,
Griffin persisted in lobbing to the tall
ex-Harvnrd athlete, with disastrous re?
sults. Harte had been prone to un?
steadiness overhead at times in the
first four sets, hut when the real test
came in the last session he came
through with a tornado-like rush that
literally beat the Califomians into the
ground.
Griffin lobbed short twice in the last
game, lobbed deliberately to Harte in
preference to Williams, and Harte sent
the ball cannonading back for ''kills"
each lime. However, when Johnston
used the loh he showed perfect judg?
ment in choosing his time, aiul in a
majority of cases won the point with
\\ iil'.$,ms and Harte racing madlv back

Johnston's win over Davis was ex?
pected by all those who are familiar
with the two styles of play, and even
after Davis ran into a lead of 3?0 and
4?1 on games in the opening set, John?
ston always looked like the eventual
winner. He was netting the ball, quite
frequently all through the match. As a
matter of fact, the champion's total of
errors was SO to Davis's 76 and only
seven points separated them at the end
of the three sets.
Roughly speaking, it was Johnston's
great strength in his ground strokes
that gave him the victory. Davis had
the advantage in service and his volley?
ing was very fine, but the champion's
splendid forcing shots kept his oppo?
nent away from the net position more
often than not.

Jockey Sande
Miraculously
Escapes Injury
Mount Stumbles, Throwing
Rider in Path of Onrush
ing Horses,but Rolls Clear
By W. J. Macbeth
SARATOGA, Aug. 13.-?Jockey Earl
Sande, pounds the best boy now ap?
pearing in ailk3 on the American
racetrack, miraculously escaped fatal
injuries in the last race of the day at
the local track track when his mount
went down in a jam shortly after the
start.
Sande was thrown in the middle of
a field of twelve fractious two-year
olds. Commodore J. K. L. Ross's
filly Intrigante in falling rolled
over toward the prone jockey,
and from a distance it appeare.d as if
the thoroughbred had rolled right
over the boy's head. Fortunately for
the ride the horse's body just
brushed Sande's head and catlike he
roiled clear of the pursuing field and
the kicking heels of his prone steed.
The packed stands breathed a sigh of
relief as Sande quickly sprang to his
feet and dusted himself off.
Sande told the officials that none of
the other jockeys was to blame., At
the break, Sande said he was crowded
in toward the rail and was just about
to clear with the fast-breaking In?
trigante when his mount stumbled and
went down.
The accident to the favorite spoiled
the chances of a number of horses that
had positions close to Intrigante, as
the Ross filly was crowding to the
front at the time she lost her footing
Stiil Intrigante would have had to be
at her best to beat Walter J. Salmon';
Step Lightly, the eventual winner
This Salmon filly was ably ridden bj
R. Ball, who was off winging from ar
outside position, eased over to the rai
before the first turn and kept his moun
hustling to the end.
Long Shot Takes Third
If. P. Whitney's Pantalette. which wa
much the best of the -others. coul<
never keep within hailing distance o
the flying pacemaker. i Sam Lewis'
Honey Girl, which was backed from 2
to 1 to 7 to 1, came with a great rusl
toward the end and finished third.
A near scandal developed preliminar;
to the running of the feature race, th
Hudson Handicap for three year old
at a mile. This feature was won b
the Glen Riddle Farm's gelding Dinn
Care, which simply breezed home ahea
of G. W. Loft's Donnacona. Ma
Hirsch, who trains for Loft, preferre
charges against Guy Bedwell, wh
trains for the Ross stable. Hirst
says that while Donnacona was bein
saddled Bedwell approached Sand
( Ross's jockey), who was to ride Donn;
. and in the presence o? a bi
crowd said:
"Sande, there will be no excuses t<
day."
Hirsch was of the opinion that Be?
well's remarks were directed again:
him. Last Monday ?ionnacona whe
ridden by*Sande finished third to Be.
; Pal and Under Fire.
i R. F. Hitchcock, the presiding ste\
? ard, was risked after the races
i the stewards had taken cognizance ?
I Hirsch's charges. Hitchcock intim?t?
that no action had b?.-en taken, nor w?
there likely to be any attention pa
the matter.
Blue Wrack Disappoints
As to the feature race, A. H. Dia2
B:ue Wrack seemed in only for exe
eise and third money. Dinna Ca
stepped out into the lead at, the stai
closely pursued by Donnacona. Dov
the backstreteh they hooked up in
beautiful duel. Half way round tl
far bend Ambrose gave Dinna Care h
hi ad and he bounded away from i
' challenger as if the latter were tied.
J. K. L. Ross's Milk Ma:d was. poun
| the best in the Salem Handicap,
seven furlongs. Gloria France, a lo
; shot, finished second, with Red R
Rose third.
Valspar outgamed James A. She
dan from the iast jump home in t
t? ?plechaSe. Hanna, who rode t
winner, and O'Connor were set do\
for the balance of the meeting. O'Cc
nor roughed Hanna at the final 'u
and the latter drew his whip agair

Three Americans Are Barred
From the Olympic Games
Aliearn, Champion in Hop, Step and Jump, Disqual?
ified for Insubordination; Boxers Schneider and
Crant Ruled Out for Violating Amateur Rules
By Arthur S. Draper
Special Cable to The Tribuns
(Copyright, 1320, New York Tribune Inc.)
ANTWERP, Aug. 13.?Three prominent members of the American
Olympic team were debarred from competition to-day by the executive
committtee. They are Dan Ahearn, Illinois A. C, world's champion in
the hop, step and jump, and Ted Schneider and Bob Grant, boxers selected
from the ranks of the armv and navv.
The disqualification of Ahearn is i
based on the charge of insubordina- ?
tion, the committee reporting that hfc |
twice refused to obey orders regard-|
in retiring hours. Ahearn said he was i
unable to sleep in the noisy school- '
house, where the athletes are quar?
tered. It is understood that he will
be returned to America on the first
avilable transport.
The decision of the committee to j
deal drastically with Ahearn had a pro?
found effect upon the American
athletes who are already ?t odds
with the committee and on the verge of
mutiny. Though there ?3 little evi
dence that the team ha? caught the ?
European strike fever, it is certain
that they intend to ?fight the A. A. U.
when they return to the United ;
States.
Schneider was barred because the
committee obtained evidence that he
had boxed professionals, while it was
stated that Grant had boxed for a
purse.
Team Lacks Traininar
The whole American team is in good
condition, but appears to be short of i
training. The athletes ape a bit dis?
appointed with the track in the
stadium here. It is not near as fast
as it should be. Despite this, the
coaches have expressed satisfaction
over the trials in which the men have
participated.
The formal opening of the stadium
promises to be the biggest dfcy since
King Albert entered Belgium after
the defeat of the Germans. The en?
tire city is in gala attire and th?'
stadium is a mass of color.
The American team to-day re?

Committee Members
Heckled by Athletes
At Protest Meeting
ANTWERP. Aug. 13 i By The Associ?
ated Press).?-The meeting here ?to?
night of the American Olympic Com?
mittee and thi> United States com?
petitor- was characterized by coi
?rable feeling o's thf nart of the ath?
letes, during which friere were cat?
calls and heckling of Gustavus P. Kirby,
president of the American Olympic
Committee, and Judge Bartow S. Weeks,
of the committee, who addressed the
men. Also there was considerable
wrangling among the athletes them
setves, mixed with demands for silence
from the more moderate of them as
heckling interrogations were flung at
the speakers.
After Kirby had outlined the action
of Dan Ahearn, the hop. step and
jump champion, which resulted in his
being dropped from the team, Judge
Weeks spoke of Ahearn's alleged de?
fiant attitude. Judge Weeks pleaded
the need of team work and discipline
among the athletes and ended his re?
marks with the ?sues:ion:
"What position would you be in if
the committee refused to continue its
duty?",
"Go ahead! We will get a better
committee!" and other similar remarks
wore shouted at Judge Weeks. The
outburst of the athletes seemingly left
the committee stunned.
