Jack White and Anderson on TO England
BrOOkline QUITS.

Brookllne quits.
Jack White, British golf champion OF 1904.
and Will Anderson. for the fourth time open
champion Of America. sailed yesterday morn
ing on the Teutonic. They came up from
the City Of Mexico without a halt. leaving tho
touring party OF British and resident pro-
fessionals to visit Houston. Tex. New Or
leans, Augusta and Pinehurst. This is as
Will Anderson could remember the itinerary
The eolAnG pilgrims seem to have dropped
completely out of sight since the Mexico
tournament. although scheduled for Pine
hurst on Monday and Tuesday.
White has fully recovered from the heat
prostration that caused i'm 10 withdraw
from the Mexico tournament. He goes at
once to London and the Sunningdale Golf
Club. He said:
Mexico is a wonderful country and am
glad to have seen H. although the tourna-
ment was not the success anticipated. There
were only twenty or thirty tourists from
the United States for the affair and as the
guaranteed money had to be cut in several
ways. some Of tho professionals say they
could not be tempted to again visit Mexico.
Personally, | should like TO go there again
some day
That was great $50 that won the Mexico
open championship for viii Smith. by many
strokes the lowest score ever made for sew
enty-two holes. The course was Of mud
baked "a hard as an adobe wall and the grass
wilted TO brown. so that the run Of the ball
was a surprise. A $50 yard green would be
overplayed with a drive and cleek. so Will
Smith had the advantage OF us in judging
distance and a. lso in control OF the ball on the
sanded greens. Yet he played 6ne game
and well deserved to win"
There was plenty Of nne golf at the Mex
leo tournament. and. although Will Smith
bent me twelve strokes for the open cham
pionship. beat out Alex Herd and the others, Z"
remarked Anderson. Herd had some low
rounds when he got the hang OF the course.
while Rowland Jones made Z: and a. White
was mostly too sick to play and Kirkalde
did not catch on readily to the new conditions.
Kirialdie was the life Of the party. We all
had a good time. barring the bull fights. We
could not stand tho cruelty to the old horses
used as chopping blocks for the bull
championship at MairNeld. June - and "a,

it would be fine TO get in the money as al
