The young champion was at a loss to explain the happening. He said he never had still» cred before from such an ailment and had taken some still blows on the nose while boxing without any signs of a hemorrhage. He recovered after a. short time and wished to continue play but was persuaded to retire by Arthur Lockwood. Lockwood retnmed to the club house without Ouimet. Ouimet was particularly anxious to continue because he was partnered with Fred Herresiioi’f against Jerome Travers and Lockwood. it was the first time the quartet of Americans had played together since their arrival in England. A furious east wind prevailed and Ouimet was showing greater ability than the other three to cope with it. it was a decided improvement over his performances at .Sandwich and proves how the youngster canadapt himself to circumstancel. l Herreshoil.’ and Travers continued the match alone from the twelfth hole and the former won out by 3 to 2 I PARKER MEETewITc‘HELL.
