Gardner, of Chicago, this afternoon won
the National Amateur Golf championship
by defeating John G. Anderson, of Mount
Vernon. N. Y., In tho final round, G up
and 4 to play.
Anderson- Ted by one up at' the end of
the morning round, but Gardner recovered
hla stroke In the afternoon and gradu
ally forged ahead of his opponent.
Soon after tho afternoon round started
Gardner gained the advantage. Ho was
one up on the Zlst hole. He Increased his
lead to 3 up on tho 25th hole, but Ander
son brought the score down at the turn
the 27th hole when Gardner was 3 up.
Because of the showery weather the
morning gallery was the smallest of the
week, but as the aay advancod and the
air cleared the enthusiasts began to ar
rive by tho hundreds, so' that by the ttmo
the afternoon half of the match was
started there were fully 2000 people on
hand. The officials of the United States
Golf Association and a corps of local
committeemen worked like beavers to
keep the gallery from interfering with
the players.
This makes the second time that Gard
ner has won the title, his first amateur
crown being' back In 1909. Anderson has
twlvo been runner up. The winner today
made the first nine holes In 37, a pace
that virtually carried, his opponent off
his feet.
Immediately after the match was over,
Frank L. Woodward, the I'nlted States
Golf Association president, presented tho
medals.
Because of An Inability to get his putts
down In the early hours, Gardner had a
hard time holding his own. On several
greens ho was guilty of taking three putts
and there were times when his short ap
proaches went astray. On the other hand

uel S. Cord going south on the River

Coincident with this discovery, Peter

tery. Developments wero rapid today In the
case, of Cord, whose dead body was found
riddled with bullets last Tuesday In a
gully off the lonely River road. In the out
skirts of Camden.
Prosecutor Kraft expected to clear up
the mystery in a few hours.
An hour before the announcement a new
witness had been discovered. It was
learned that neighbors of Peterson de- j
clared there was no light showing In his
homo last Monday night, when he says
he was at home playing solitaire. This
was tho first direct Intimation that he
was not telling tho truth in this instance.
STRICT SECRECY OBSERVED.
Great secrecy was maintained by
Kraft in obtaining Peterson's statement.
Tho prosecutor called tho newspaper men
that are at work on the case. Into his
ofllco In the Camden County Court House.,
to tell them about tho new witness. He
said that heretofore tho only persons who

wan killed saw it going north on the
