Mr.. w. Z. Miller spent the week Just

pleased with their condition. All will be
raced again in 1914 except Axis, who will
do service in Northumberland and ad-

We have personally known Axis from,

that he could have won many more

his career had not been imbued with the
foolish notion of holding him back for a

All Match Play.

The English tournaments are conducted
differently than the American tourna-
ments-and many believe that the Eng
lish method carries a big advantage for
the Americans In this country elimina-
tion contests are held prior to the real
matches. No elimination contests are
held in English tournsments-match play
begins when the tournament opens
1t is figured by optimistic American
golfing enthusiasts that the American
quintet is strong enough to eliminate, in
the early match play, some of the most
dangerous English players, and some are
even hopeful to the point OF prediction
that the finals may be fought out by two
Americans.
Herreschoff, a wonderful distance man
with the wood. is looked to by the Amer
ican contingent to furnish mighty bat
tie for every man he meets. The same is
true Of Travers and Schmidt. Travers
regarded as a somewhat weak driver. is
looked upon as one of the best putters
In the golfing world. and this, II is fig
ured. offsets any driving weakness.
Schmidt is held I'm high regard-and also
in fear-by the English because of the
plucky fight he made last year, and ought
to do very well
The Washington herald., 1914-03-29
Evans Is Brilliant.

Evans is brilliant player. but inclined
to be slightly erratic at times. II he can
get away to steady. even start and
keep it up. he ought to remain in the bat
tie for considerable distance.
Ouimet, of course, will he America $
dark horse" AS previously stated,
some Americans-and most Of the Eng
lish-think him just an ordinary PLAYER,
and figure that he never again can dupIi-
cate his victory OF last summer at Brook
line, Mass. Others feel just the other
way. And, so. Ouimet will go into the
battle as something OF an uncertain
quantity. May that uncertainty result in
being Just the uncertainty as to the num-
her Of strokes by which he will win out
in the final match.
