Schmidt Wins Praise of BritonS
Youthful Golfer Makes Big Hit

THE British press has devoted
columns of comment on the
personality and playing of
Heinrich Schmidt, the Massachusetts
golfer. who came so near defeating
Harold Hilton, the English crack, in
the recent tournament over the St.
Andrews links.
1t was Schmidt's great match with
Harold H. Hilton, once more the
British champion, that caused the
sensation.
