VOCI'S ()llL't.‘ lllOl‘i' States can be found such a By JOE WILLIAMS. You get a faint idea of the shift- ing fates of golf when you read in connection with the recent amateur golf championships at Oakmont— (i) That Chick Evans failed _to quality. (2) And that Francis Ouimet was beaten in a play-off for last position among the qualifiers. Golf is the “million to one shot." of all sports. It is the one sport where. the impossible. is eternally the possible, where the awesome mira- cle is soon the drab fact. You could have had any kind of odds before the tournament started tnht both Evans and Ouimet would be among the. qualifiers. The day before. in a practice round Evans had spun around the course in brilliant. style, clipping tlirbo strokes off the most savare par the amateurs of this countiy ever tried to master. Never Played Worse. Ouimet was comparatively fresh from a week of the finest golf he ever played in his life, a sustained display of form that carried him to within one stroke of a triple tie for the open championship of America. Evans never played worse golf in any tournament. Noted for his mas- tery of the irons. the Chicagoan played them with an indecision and a crudillty that left his followers gasping with bewilderment. There were times when he missed the green entirely. There may have been a reason for Evans' mediocre. playing aside from the fact that he is gradually slipping from the charmed set of par de- molishcrs. The condition of his lengthening summer months and the finances has not improved with the story is he suffered another severe reversal ll. few Iltllll'S before the tournament got under way. The answer in Ouinict's case is that IN“ is slipping, too. it is possi- Downfall of Evans and Ouimet Big Surprise On Ice CHICK EVANS. ‘ ble to reconcile the fine showing he made in the open with the collapse, he suffered in the amateur on the grounds of physical frailty. Evi- dently Ouimet is good for onlyone big tournament a year. and then he is barely good enough to getamotig the fancy figures. Ouimet was not. putting at Oak- mont.

Just the same, Ouimet, was not putting at Onkmoiit and because of this he even failed to qualify.

Playing a hunch is a. much favor- ed stunt iu sport when things are breaking badly. . Even so taciturn an individual as Connie Mack stoops to such a sys- tem when everything goes wrong. When the Athletics met Washing- ton in a. toningamc series starting Labor Day, it was apparent to Mack that any hope to stick in the run- ning depended on making a sweep of the series. At the time Washington enjoyed a seven-game lead in the pendant race and the Athletics had lost 10 straight games. Perhaps the most inconsistent been "Lefty" Groves. Despite world of stuff, Groves has been an in-and- -outcr, largely due to lack of control. Taking the first game of an im- pmtant serics is consideted a big edge. Manager Harris of Washington entrusted the job to his pitching ace, Walter Johnson. Connie Mack put it up to the rookie, "Lefty" Groves. O O U The selection of Graves surprised but in making it \lack was playing a hunch based on the strongest kind of (lope. Freak Record. It so happens the first game that Groves was able to finish and win in the American League was played on the morning of’lJecoration Day. He beat New York at Philadelphia. His next complete game was pitched on Fourth of July at New York. He battled Herbie Penuock for 15 innings to a 1-0 defeat. L'p until Labor day of this year the record of Groves showed that he had never been defeated in a morn- ing holiday game. ‘. I It was only natural that Managci Mack in an effort to bicakdho jinx that had followed his team over a period of 10 consecutive defeats should play a. hunch. 'So Groves, who had not started a game since the Fourth of July, was given the assignment of stopping Washington and breaking the losing streak of the Athletics. Mack no doubt figured that a two months' rest plus the fact that he had novel pitcher on Mack's club this year has. 1 a SIGNS FOR FIGHT IN NEW YORK DEC.
