Gently scored heavily against Englishmen.
the late victory in polo being particularly
marked, though of all the games the En-
glish regard that as most destinctively
theirs As for yachting, mere allusion
to the American cup is sufficient And
now beardless American boy has won
the golf championship Of the United States
from the two best players that England
could send over here to play this game,
originally Scotch, but enthusiastically
adopted in England.
The champion is an American. He was
born in Brookline, Mass. May 3. 1893. the
only son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur 0uimet.
His father is French Canadian and his
mother OF Irish descent lie studied at the
Brooklne High School two years, caddied
at the Brookline Country Club four years
and has been employed as salesman for
three years by a Boston sporting goods
house.
This 20-year-old. slender young man
grew in education and in golf. though he
never has done anything worth while in
the way Of national championships until
this year. Two years ago he was good
enough to be ranked at three on the handi-
cap list Of the United States Golf Associ-
alton. which allowance was increased to
four when the list was given out this
spring At Wheaton last year those who
had high hopes Of him were doomed to dis
appointment. for he failed even to qualify.
