bly the best method is to
lead with rather a full summary--a half-dozen paragraphs if
necessary--telling the results, the character of the playing, the kind
of weather, the condition of the links, and something about the
competitors, then to follow with a detailed story of the game hole by
hole. In the following story note that the length, the par, and the
relative standing of the players is given on each hole. Note too that a
numerical summary is made every nine holes.

| =EVANS WINS GREAT MATCH= |
| |
|Charles Evans, Jr., of the Edgewater Golf Club, |
|twice winner of the Western amateur golf |
|championship, to-day defeated Ned Sawyer of the |
|Wheaton Golf Club 2 and 1 in the semi-final match |
|for the great All-Western title. To-morrow Evans |
|will meet in the 36-hole finals James Standish, Jr.,|
|of the Detroit Golf Club, whom he defeated for the |
|same title last year at the Kent Country Club. |
| |
|Standish won his way into the finals by defeating |
|H. P. Bingham, of the Mayfield Club, to-day in a |
|lop-sided contest, the match ending on the thirtieth|
|green, 7 and 6. |
| |
|The Evans-Sawyer duel to-day was a grueling struggle|
|and from all points one of the greatest in the |
|history of the Western classic. It sparkled like |
|carbonated water as compared with the rather flat |
|matches of yesterday. |
| |
|Fought in balmy weather under almost perfect |
|conditions, the contest afforded, from start to |
|finish, plenty of thrills to the gallery of 2,000 |
|followers. Old timers conceded it the best match |
|ever fought on Ohio soil. Each player had 74 in the |
|morning, while Evans had approximately 72 in the |
|afternoon. |
| |
|Fourteen of the thirty-five holes were won under par|
|figures, ten were won at par, and two were ties |
|under par, leaving only two holes at which both |
|players were really ragged.
