The Champion of Great Brit

for Ouimet and

Harold II. Hilton, who ranks with the
greatest and best In golf, will. as pre-
viously announced. tell the story OF the
amateur championship tournament OF
Great Britain exclusively for The Tribune
He will cable a special account each
day while the tournament Is in progress
and In addition will write q general fore
cast before the fun begins on May IS.
Hilton Is the amateur champion oil
Great Britain, a title which he has held
four times He also won the open title
twice and the highest honors in this coun'
try In 1911. He Is widely known In goir-
ing circles of both countries.
For that reason his impressions OF what
promises to be tho greatest tournament In
the history OF golf will be read with the
greatest interest.
Hilton Is considered tho chief Deepen
dence of Great Britain to repel the In
vasion OF the links led by the United
States. Already II is conceded that ne

not only by his success at Westward no

London. May 12.-No international

Lord Wimborne's team had its hnai
breakdown to- day, and he said tonight
that he would be obliged TO tell the
Nottingham Club committee tomorrow
that he was unable TO get team to-
gether.
T, will then rest with the birmingham
Club to get out Of the engagement with
America, as II was the official chal-
lenger.
Lord Wimborne was busy to-day
making arrangements TO ship the ponies
on Saturday, when telegram was re-
ce,ved from Major c. NJ Hunter say
ing that he would be unable TO go on
account OF the illness of his wife. This
left Lord Wimborne only three men for
the team, consequently he stopped all
arrangements 10 ship the ponies and
began the search for fourth man.
He said IT was no use going through
all the detail Of arranging 10 ship the
ponies il he was unable 70 send team.
on account Of the red tape connected
with the shipment and the time re-
oulred TO get papers signed he had only
five hours 10 get player TO take Major
Hunters place. The limit expired at
T.S0 o'clock this evening and none was
Mound. Lord Wimborne had over fifty
telegrams refusing the invitation for
various reasons.
The principal effort WAS devoted to
getting Captain Cheape, but up TO a
late hour tonight he had not deigned
to answer either Lord Wimborne's or
the birmingham Clubs invitations.
Hurlingham's invitation was sent on
Saturday. and The Daily Telegraph
published this morning in an article
by "Polonius" an alleged telegram
from Cheape 10 Lord Wimborne, polite
w declining the invitation. Lord VIM
borne tonight authorizes a positive
denial that he received any reply OF
any kind from Captain Cheape. lie
has traced Cheape's movements from
Saturday, and to-day sent his friends
and Cheape's friends TO beg him to
play. Lord Wimborne's friends say
he Inundated himself and almost went
on his knees TO induce Cheape TO play
so that the challenge could be carried
out.
Cheape's friends say nothing Will in
duce him TO play on Lord Wimbornes
team, while Lord Wimborne's friends
say that Cheape has no personal OBJ
lection TO Wimborne, but pressure he
was unable TO withstand brought from
other quarters has kept him off the
team.
A special meeting of the Nottingham
Club committee and Lord Wimborne
has been called for o'clock to-mor-
ROW. and the general expectation here
tonight IS that II will close the incl
dent and that the challenge will be
withdrawn.
The telegram in full from Major
Hunter follows:
Exceedingly sorry that the condition
Of my wife is such that I find myself
compelled TO abandon the idea Of going
10 America. This answer must be con-
sidered final"
Major Hunter was TO play back on
the team. and as backs up 10 the inter
national standard are rare the diff
culties confronting Lord Wimborne
were practically insurmountabie.
The ponies were to be shipped at
o'clock on Friday.
