The other amateur choice is Chick Evans of Chicago. whom both Vardon and Ray, after their visit, termed the greatest golfer in the United States. Evans master of every club, seems to acl something that prevents his win ming at big tournaments No one has over been able to discover just what this shortcoming really is. Time and again Evans. after a wonderful start, will finish poorly and just fall short of first place. Or he may have one bad round that will r uin his chances. Some day, though, the western crack IS going to play even golf throughout .he entire tournament and when that time comes no one is going to finish tefore him. Possibly Baltusrol may be the place where this will happen.
 of the professionals, Macdonald Smith, recently of the Oakmont club, is regarded as having the best chance of winning the open title. Smith is now greater golfer than his famous brother Aleck ever was and Aleck admits this himself. Macdonald Smith captured he open metropolitan title at Scars dale last year and he never exceeded 73 in any one round. He had fine opportunity of winning the national championship at Chicago when sick ress forced his retirement from the tournament
 Then comes Walter Hagen, the youthful holder of the open title. Only 22 years of age Hagen has mastered every club and he is one of those bill liant golfers who can be expected to give the visiting Britons a shock cn the lselks.
