viction that America would surely carry
off the British amateur championship
next year. lie repeated his belief also
that Bobby Jones is the best amateur
golfer in America. and that Chick Evans
is next. thereby implying that one or
the other Of these two Yankee stars
would win the British title

American amateur team abroad will

evry promise.
That all expenses of team Of fifteen
United States professionals be paid for

ter of considerable discussion right now
Golf Illustrated is working vigor-
ouSly on the idea and there is every
prospect that America will be repre-
sentcd next year in all three of the big
British championships by the best tai
Cnt in the land.
Ray. American open champion. said
IN London yesterday that Walter Hagen
was the best professional in America
with Jim Barnes following him very

virtually sure of going boating. Their
/ expenses will be paid. with the posi-
bility that Leo Dicgcl may also join the
f free list. If the expenses of about ten
others were paid it would max" really

compete against.
