VARDON, RAY & CO.
STILL PLAY GOLF
Ray Beats Mitchell, While Var
don and Braid Are Close.
Seymour Latest Star
BY SANDY McNIBLICk

Walter Hagen, open golf champion
Of the United States, sails week from
Saturday for Great Britain to compete
for the British open title. Gil Nichols
and Jim Barnes, professional American
champion. sail the same day.
Meantime golf fans in this country
are keen to know what is going on on
the other side and who's Who in early
season play. In this respect it is in
teresting to know that Ted Ray, Harry
vardon and Jim Braid, the famous vet
eran "triumvirate, are not out OF
1t" by any means, as has been reported.
A week ago the qualifying round for
the Daily Mail $500 tourney was held,
with $50 of the leading pros over there
In the competition. and tho "trium-
yirate" finished in the tiv" best scores,
Ted Ray topping the great and. much
berslded Abe Mitchell by II stroke.
Most significant was the play Of Bert
Seymour, virtually unheard Of here,
who outdrove the field int" triple tie
for third score with Nardon and George
Duncan, and broke the course record

He is said to be the only person who
has driven the first hole at st. An

then that's a fairish shot, even with

hole In one Of the important tourna .
ments last year. and he proved that he
is on the high road TO the select group
,yh;ch rules the professional ranks. Of
medium height. there is nothing in Sey =
mour's appearance to indicate the power
he possesses. He outdrove the field, not
because of great strength, but by per r-
feet timing and wonderful wrist action,
Vardon played consistently, though
mot always master OF his .putter, and
Braid had an amazing string ot "ight
consecutiye threes on the first round.
Taylor had disastrous time OF II
his first card totaling 81, but he raj
lied wonderfully on the second round
and was able to qualify ten strokes be
hind Ray. Braid was driving tire
nendously long ball, approaching WIZ
deadly accuracy and putting Ike VIZ
