The United States of golfing America
was unable to defend its open title
against the combined assaults of Ray
and Vardon, but in spite of the stout
international attack that will be made
upon our amateur contingent at the
Engineers course within the next ten
days we don't believe that two golf
cups are going away this year.
Great Britain and Canada have en-
tered some of their finest players
golfers who are not to be taken too
lightly-but the probability that one
Of them will finish in front of the
combined strength Of Evans, Ouimet,
Heron, Jones, Gardner and many other
stars Of ranking caliber doesn't seem
just now to be too strong.
The Best Yet
Just as the recent open champion
ship at Inverness developed the closest
finish on record among the first SIX
or eight, so the coming amateur cham
piOnship at Roslyn, L. l., which begins
a week from Monday, promises to be
the most spectacular of all our cham
pionships dating back to 1895.
We have had q British amateur cham
pion over here before in the person of
Il. II. Hilton, who took the prize away
in 1911, only to lose it quickly in 1912.
But we have never before had as
many fine British golfers fighting for
the laurel of golf upon this side OF
the water, backed up by such strong
Canadian team.
Tolley, Wethered, Armour and Hope
are undoubtedly four of the finest ANA
tours in Great Britain. None Of ths4n
have far harder task ahead than
Hilton had nine years ago when he
emerged in triumph.
American golf has improved i'm
mensely in the last ten years There
are not only finer golfers but a great
many more who must be given a chance
If not to win the championship at
least to beat any one man in q &C.
hole match.
Considering the strength of the for
eign cntry-and the fine field of native
born golfers who will start-each day
should produce its drama, where on
just what star match one should follow
Rugged Test
The Engineers course will be q
rugged test. 1t is not as long as Oak
mont was a year ago and doesn't call
fol such extended carries off the tee
But it requires accurate work with the
wood, good iron play, and, above all
the ability to putt.
There are few level spots to be fount
upon any green. Dips, rolls, hollows
mounds, slopes and slants abound il
vast profusion, where the proper touch
is an essential to low scoring.
There are three short holes-one only
above 500 yards and fourteen that car
be reached in two shots from a drive
and a mashie- niblick to a drive and {
| brassie.
Yet, with the par at 70, no amateur
has yet holed every putt and turned

tai of 100000, have been filed in
district court here against the rail-

Hook, Fremont real estate dealer,
sues Walker D. Hines and the
