AMERICAN GOLFERS
RANKED AT 5 TO z
One Bet Laid at 10 to l Hilton
Characterizes as Extreme
ly Generous
NJ KERR N. PETRrn.

1t may interest those seven OF the
eight members Of W. C. Fowness all
star golf team who are to embark to-
day for England, where they are to try
for the British amateur championship. to
know that Harold H. Hilton has sharply
rebuked some enthusiast In England with
sporting blood In his veins for laying
10 to l 'in considerable money" that
an American would not win the big
event at Hoyiake.
The former holder OF tho British anna
teur and open championship titles and
winner In 1911 Of the American cham
pionship was asked whether he consid-
cred these odds were fair and replied
that to his mind they were extremely
generous and that even without Chick
Evans and Francis Ouinet he did not
think that II would be 10 10 / against
an American winning the classic Kill
ton remarked that he would be inclined
to take these odds about Bobby Jones
on his own. while II Evans and Ouimet
were of the party he did not think that
It Is more than TO Q against the Amer
lean combination.
The members OF the team who are TO
w.
C. Fownes, Jr.. the captain; Francis
Ouimet, Bobby Jones. Fred j. Wright,
Jr.. DR.. Paul Hunter. J. Wood Plat and
Jesse Guilford. All were guAes Of
Howard F. Whitney, president Of the
United States Golf Association. at
private dinner at the Links Club last
night.
Other notables who are going along
on the Caronia are George Balch OF
Cincinnati. former president of the
Western Golf Association. and DR.. Stir
ling. father Of the woman champion,
Miss Alexa Stirling. Of Atlanta. DR..
Stirling, like Mr.. Balch, Is going abroad
to enjoy the fun and, Of course, win pay
particular attention to the women 8
championship at Turnberry. Scotland. in
which his daughter is TO try her for
tune.
Evans It now appears. IN TO leave next
Wednesday. Tho champion played with
President Harding In a game In WASH
ington. and after this match Chick and
his parents will leave for Bethlehem,
Pa. for short visit.
It also became known yesterday that
Miss Rosamond Sherwood OF st. Georges.
L. l., will leave for England by the Adri-
attic next Tuesday Miss Sherwood. who
played in the British women's cham
pionship at Newcastle. county Down.
Ireland, last year. OF course intends to
enter the fray again at Turnberry. She
- regarded as one OF the most promising
women golfers In She metropolitan dis
trict She was eliminated early in the
Newcastle meeting. but this was scarce
ly surprising, since on account Of a
painful injury to her foot she had TO
play her match on crutches.
While confiding her intention Miss
Sherwood let drop q hint that Mrs.
Feitner is also going along. and while
recently 1t has been reported that the
metropolitan woman champion would not
20 abroad until August. the impression
which now obtains Is chat she will ac-
company Miss Sherwood for the purpose
OF adding her strength to the American
entry at Turnberry.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, April 29.-The three
University OF Pennsylvania crews which
will race against the Naval Academy
eights here tomorrow put in a good
days work under Coach Joe Wright,
while the midshipmen were out under
Dick Glendon for a shorter period this

The fact that Pennsylvania won from
Yale last week has added great interest
to the race. but 1t is still believed that
the Navy, with nearly the same crew
which took the highest worlds honors
last year, will win. Besides, 1t averages
something over thirteen pounds heavier
