AMERICAN INVASIONS
OF ENGLAND COURSES
PROVE FALSE ALARMS

the worst sort Of a false alarm.
recall the facts Of that year par
ticularily well as I happened to be a
member Of the American team which,
excepting Chick Evans, failed TO
dismally.
That had been the history OF
our attempts at British titles
down to the present when Bob
Gardner made his gallant fight
and when we look forward with
such strong hopes TO the play Of
Walter Hagen and Jim Barnes In
the British open. That they have
n chance f. freely admitted by
British golfers, especially since
their fine play TO date. But
Vardon says the odds each con-
fronts are at least eight 20 one,
the odds that any one crack In
particular faces in such n meet
ing, whether native or foreign.
The defeat Of Mitchell and George
Duncan in a four ball contest at Deal
not long ago has awakened the Eng
lish to the fact that in defeating
Hagen and Barnes for their title they
have a Job Of greatest difficulty. As
this was staged for a good sized
purse the proof is before everyone
that these two Yankee entries possess
that rarest OF all golf qualities-the
competitive soul am sure that
Gardner's showing will give our two
representatives added confidence and
the keenest sort Of a desire TO win.
Surely they now know that the
British are not impregnable on their
own links
I have set all this down for the
purpose OF proving my own belief to
the effect that we have advanced so
far and so rapidly In golf In America
that we do not need odds from the
players Of any nation All in all
this looks like a great American year
and here's hoping we add the British
open title 70 our list OF performances.
We can look forward with much
satisfaction TO their affair No bet
ter critic or player lives than Vardon
and he has already stated that Hagen
not only plays as well as any man
living. but that he realizes the great
opportunity awaiting him. And
praise from this veteran So our
chances look mighty good when we
realize that we have two such de-
pendable men representing US. -

CIXTEEN years ago Walter J.
Travis startled the golfing world
by winning the British amateur
title at l-dwich. His victory was a
stunning shock to the British. who
had considered themselves invincible
in 50 far as golf was concerned up
TO that time. It was beyond their
understanding that an American-One
coming from a land in which golf was
comparatively new-could upset them
in game which was centuries old
with them.
Could Not Hold Up.
Five years later Jerry Travers, then
at the top OF his game, crossed the
Atlantic to repeat the feat OF Travis.
But Jerry was unable to keep
mp his fine work and rs a result
Of this was put out early in the
tournament. Then we had few
other invasiOns OF England by
American golfers, particularly
those OF the late Fred HerrOshOff
AMI Chick Evans. In fact, the
next serious attempt yFuB that
made by the latter in 1912. Chick
was defeated in the fifth round
by an Australian named Bruce
Pearce. But as the match went
an extra hole the English were
compelled 10 admit that we had
not been fdlr in the MATTER OF
coming to the fore in golf.
The big surprise to English golf
followed in 1913 when Heinrich
Schmidt. never an American cham
pion. entered the lists for the British
amateur. Schmidt was not considered
in the advance dope, but he threw a
great scare into England when he
came through to the finals. going
down TO defeat at the hands Of Harold
Hilton in another extra hole match
after apparently having a comfort

 VAN LOAN FILM
Priscilla Dean Has Dramatic Part as Waif of Wicked
 est of Cities

The interest of local theatre-gOers has bees aroused to unusual pitch by the announced appearance at the Cen tral theatre tomorrow and Saturday and Eagle theatre Sunday and Monday of the latest Universal-Jewel master feature, "The Virgin of Stamboul," with Priscilla Dean as the star and directed by Tod Browning.
 It has been nearly year since Pris- ella Dean has flashed on the local screen, and her return is everywhere prnounced as a triumph.
 ''The Virgin of Stamboul' was writ ten especially for Miss Dean by H. H. Van Loan, and the author has en- deavored to paint picture of the wickedest city in the world" Direc- tor Browning has faithfully followed his story and reproduced his word painting in living, breathing scenes. Vast cities were built for the produc- ton, famous landmarks reproduced with marvellous realism. the Great Arabian Desert filmed for many scenes in the story and thousands of men, women and children used for at Imospheric effect
 The story is said to be rich in dram atic quality, arousing sympathy and suspense, causing the spectators to smile and weep, and with a wealth of real red-blooded action to set the pulses throbbing.

 'Kemp's" decision to enter the race brought relief to many Cochise county Democrats, as members Of the party were beginning to figure that the two Republican contenders for the office were getting too strong. Until several days ago Capt. Harry Wheeler had been frequently mentioned as candidate for election again. When Captain Wheeler announced that he would not be in the race several other aspirants started grooming themselves to take his place.
 Kempton decided to make the race, it is said, after a meeting between prominent Democrats from every part of the county and practically every other Democratic possibility for sher- if not already in the race. As the re- suit of the conference Kempton was requested to make the race, and was

 Kempton has made an excellent record as a peace officer in this city and his friends are confident that he will be the next sheriff of Cochise county.

Breaking all former records over the spectacular Rim O the World" hill climb at San BeInardino, an Els sex touring car during the past week in practice runs, claims the record for this noted event Last year the same Essex car in this most difficult hill climb in Southern California, won first in it's class and second against the entire field in competi- ton with two eight, one six and three four-cylindered cars.
 In it's recent practice the Essex made seven runs, each time lowering its record of last year and in three ont of the seven trials made better time than any car which has ever climbed to the summit of the course
 The best of this record" accord ing to Harold l.. Arnold, distributor for Essex cars in Southern Californ ia, lis the fact that the Essex was driven by a young man named Car Bohrman from my service station, who is not a professional racing driver. lt is simply another demon stration of what We claim contin ued Mir Arnold. "that the power and wonderful road balance of Essex cars nNkes it possible for even an inex perienced driver to make a phenom enal showing.
