WHY AMERICAN
 GOLFERS FAILED. IN ENGLIsHTOURNAMENT

I
 That America,s1 leading golfers. are not the equal of the topnetch British pIstyers that they have much to do before becoming so; that. there is lack of variety to the shots of American players, and that they have neither the instinct nor the trained ability to alter their methods to suit circum-8 stances are some of the assertions of R F. Howard, the latest British wFit- CT to attempt to analyze the game of those United States players who vae-= tied Europe this years Howard does frank criticism may not be harmful after all.
 Howard explains that since the re- turn to the United States of trans. Atlantic visitors. the American papers have sought in a avariety Of ways to show how the three leaders of anna teur golf in the new world came to fail SO sorrowfully to realize their hopes, or even a fraction of their hopes,s in the British cham pionship at Sandwich. It has been said that the invaders spoiled their chances by arriving steo early, and that they were handicapped by conditions Of weather and law.
 Howard declares it would be a pity to differ over such a little matter as this, and feels sure that there is much Justification for the belief that the Americans did themselves no good by reaching England weeks and weeks before the meeting and spending the time thinking of the object of their expedition. Charles Evans, Jr., was. the only member of the party who en- tered the firing line at practically the last moment. and he fared best. Then Howard goes bne5with a good pan ming, %as follows
 For the Americans, however tos consider that things in general dur ing the stay of the United States players in this country indicated that they were as good as the best British amateurs is the forced philosophy of the party politician. who sees in every election defeat a moral victory There may be comfort in 1t, but it is cer- stainly not the path Of progress
 Truth to tell the American golfers, with the exception of MT. Evans, were disappointing, and one would hint that the reason was that they played stereotyped games and exhibited neither the instinct nor the trained ability to alter their methods aceord- ing to circumstances.
 s.One regretted the fact the more SO on ref1ectfng that such player as Francis Ouimet was obviously ir1tend- ed by nature to hit a golf ball. He. made it quite clear that the rhyth- that he had a perfect eye and that he enjoyed an inborn capacity for strik- ing a putt truly and clean1y and fol- lowing through in just that easy man ner which is the ideal of our dreams.
 He failed because, so far as one could judge, he had never tried to play his shots in other than one way. When that way proved unsuited to the occasion he was nonp1ussed."
