Tbe metropolitan d.,.ric, has for years
been proud, ana rightly so, Of the bull
dcg grit and wonderful match play
temperament Of tuyers, but the four
times champion rarely shines at the
stroke game. Tie says himself that ne
cares little for medal play. Quite the
opposite is Charles Evans, brilliant at
scoring, but Ca.chea-hearted when
pressed by q determined foe.
Probably Fowuss comes closer 10 the
