Sweetsers Shots Make Him Feared
Jess Sweetser, 22, of the Metropolitan district, is a top favorite for the National Amateur at Philadelphia. He won at Brookline in 1922 and nearly won last year at Flossmoor, losing to Max Marston by a stroke aided by a miscue. His record includes victories over Chick Evans and Bobby Jones, among others, and his calm, compact swing and closed stance mark him as a formidable match player though he has a minor green stroke weakness.
