ing for the home club il looks rs though
the cup would stay at home this year
OF Jesse Guilford, from farmer boy
'C national golf champion" who will
play in the big exhibition match NJ
Tredyffrin on October 10, Francis
Ouimet. ex-opcn ana amateur cham
nion, has this TO say:
''Guilfords chip shot is the best in
amateur ranks. He always has beer
deadly puttor, and his long irons are
remarkable for accuracy. He does not
have 70 rely too much on his terrific
wood shots. for which he is mostly
famous. A. getting out of trouble he
is a wizard. Guilford has an ideal
disposition for golf and fears ncne Of
them"
Outside Of that the new champion
will be able to display very little in
the way of golf at Tredyftrin next
month.
