ENGLEWOOD,
George 8. Lyon of Teroute put H
| Chandler Egan of Chicage out of the
amateur golf champiouship In the sec
oud round at match play ou the Eugle-
wood Golf club's course. Egan was
fighting bard to retain the champion

and beld during the last two years
but Lyon led him almost every luch of
the way and finally wou out on the
twentieth hole.
There have been many upsets lo this
year's championship tournament, but
the defeat of the champion by the
Canadian player wag the greatest sur
prise of all. - Two rs ago, however,
Lyon and Egan met in the Saal of the

the Chicagoan by 3 up and 2 to play
Egan played poorly and by misalng
a seemingly easy put on the howe bole
lost the match after he was 1 up at
the seventeenth hole, where by good
work Lyon should have had a half
Both players drove the bome green,
Lyon then having a treacherous ap
proach put to make. Egan rimmed the
cup ou his third shot, while Lyon got
down in three, making the match a tie
They halved the ulpeteenth hole in
fours, and Lyen won out with a well
played four ou the twentieth green
Egan, who was four ®Wown at one
stage of jhe game, played good golf
coming iu, but bis work on the putting
greens was not up to his usual mark,
and this defeat robbed him of the
chance to make a record as a triple
winner.
The defeat of the champion was not
the only feature of the day's play,
however, as Walter J. Travis, the for
mer American and British swateur
champion, made a new amaleur record
of 74 for the rearranged course
Travis did this In the first round of
