links of the Stanton Heights Golf
Club. and are expected to compete
in a medal play tournament at Oak
mont. The remainder of this week
the Englishmen will be at Shawnee

for series of exhibitions in the Chi
cago district.

Ray in America that Lord North
cliffe. the sponsor for the profession

or two to watch the game of the
famous golfers.
