Jesse P. Guilford

For the first time the Championship was held west of the Mississippi River, at the St. Louis Country Club, with a larger representation of associations and states than ever before, although the total entry fell off to 159 and only 132 competed in the 36-hole qualifying rounds.

On a rainy September day, Jesse P. Guilford, of the Woodland (Mass.) Golf Club, defeated Gardner, 7 and 6, for the Championship. Ouimet was medalist with 144.
