By Ray Mccarthy

Thc United States has q seniors golf
team it, can be proud of. Fifteen of
these senior star golfers opposed a
team of Canadian seniors that made a
special trip to the Apawamis Club
course at Rye, arriving Wednesday
night and which lined-up yesterday af-
ternoon for the annual internationa |
team match. The Americans ran away
with the match, scoring 26 points while
our neighbors were picking up 2 lone
tallics.
t. A. Parker and P. D. Ross were the
lifesavers of the Canadians. put for
then, the Northerners would have been
completely annihilated. Yesterdays
defeat was the worst the Canadian
seniors have suffered since these
matches have been held.
Among the victims on the visiting
team was the redoubtable George s
Lyon, captain of the Canadian team and
the present senior golf champion of
Canada. Lyon has always been. and
for that matter is, a veritable lion m
the golf links-'we mean in SO far as
skill is concerned. He is a hard-fchs-
ing, proficient player who by his nu-
rlerous victories over notable golfers
mas earned national reputation. Ruf
ne went down to defeat before Charles
A. Cooke, of the Arcola Club, yester-
day, losing by points, the first time
ne ne mas ever been beaten in this contest.
These were the cards:

Cooke won the low gross prize in
the first half of the seniors meeting.
ana mas good chance of winning the
senior title with his score Of 162. Most
Of the Americans played fine golf In
downing their Canadian opponents. But
two others who, besides Cooke, came
through brilliantly were H. S. Redfield,
or hartford, Conn.,, and Frank Pres
brey, president of the Seniors Associa-
tion.
Redfeld, in fact, was the shining
star Of the whole days play. He is
competing in the second half of the
tournament, and has a grand chance Of
beating out Cooke for the CHAMPION
ship. When the Arcola Club performer
turned in his 10 yesterday to complete
his total Of 1852 he was the recipient of
many congratulations. For 70 at Apa-
wamls is no cinch.
But Redheld, who bats from the left
side of the plate or tee, but who swings
a beautiful iron OR wooden club, new
ertheless, duplicated Cookies feat, while
defeating his Canadian opponent by
two points. Redtield should have had

OF less than four feet which he missed
when the ball struck a piece of wire
grass and was pushed off the line.

good position to better Cookies score
He must get score Of better than SO
