English Golfers Fear United States

WHEN Henry Leach, British golf
 writer, was in the United States last year for the national amateur golf championship, his opinion was that it would be a long time before American golfers could hope to meet British players successfully on British links in a championship. An article in the London Times descriptive of the match between Heinrich Schmidt of Massa- chusetts and H. H. Hilton in the re- cent British championship presumably was written by MT. Leach-if so, he has changed his views somewhat The article says:
 Robert Harris and MT. Hilton are left in to fight out the final match at St. Andrews tomorrow, but with all respect to two fine golfers neither of them was quite the hero of yesterdays play. The role belongs to Heinrich Schmidt of Massachusetts, who was beaten by MT. Hilton at the nineteenth hole after a match which makes one hot all over even to talk about.
 "Only those who saw it can realize how very imminent was the American peril Certainly there were. two fur

ther lines of defense behind MT. Hilton, but neither of them could be consider ed proof against MT. Schmidts deadly, calculating, reso1ute onslaught. What might have happened it is impossible to say, but it was at any rate with a sigh of the profoundest thankfulness that the crowd saw the gallant young American beaten and the frantic cheers for Mr.-HiIton were the highest possible compliment to MT. Schmidt not that they did not cheer MT. Schmidt, for he had a great reception at the finish. He is very far from be- ing an attractive golfer to watch. His swing, though wonderfully true and sound. lacks grace, and the really ap- palling slowness of his preliminary in spectfons, cogitations and trial swings make a great demand on the patience of opponents and spectators. Never theless, his plucky, modest. quiet man ner and his indubitable skill won the crowd in spite of themselves, and if America can produce Gas it is said she can) many more young players just as good as MT.

 The popularity of sailing craft does not seem to have diminished materially in spite of the increase in the use of power boats The sailing craft with an auxiIliary engine has also attained wonderful vogue, especially among the tars who enjoy cruising.
 While the users of boats of all de- scrfpttons are multiplying there seems an inclination among the Waterrnen to favor larger boats to a, certain degree than they have used in te-e past For instance, the number of thirty foot sIoops now in use throughout the coun- try has taken a noticeable upward jump Boat builders say they received orders for more thirty footers during the last year than they usually got in two years in the past. The reason is that as thirty footer can be used for either cruising or racing and can be handled by two men; also it is safe and comfortable in wet weather.
 The yawI types are ref1ecting the general popularity of sailing craft this summer. They have an advantage in carrying a larger volume of sail that can be handled by. one man Than any other style of boat.
