played in the western championship at
Homewood and others from eastern and
western clubs will contest.
Naturally Willie Anderson, the only
man who has won the title more than
once-and, he has won it four times
is a favorite for the event, as Onwent-
STA is now his home links and he has
been afforded abundant opportunities
for practice all spring. He has made a

cent western tourney, and Anderson s
rival of old, probably will be regarded
as good second choice for the. honors
But there are lot of experts, any one
7of whom may put up good enough golf
to capture the title. 80
Of this number, Will Smith, cham
pion of Mexico and former nationa
champion Of the country. Lawrence
