You can take your choice In
wonderful field which is composed
of the best America can muster. the
two strongest England can select
to make up for the recent loss of
it's own historic prize, and the trick
lest Australia can produce.
Canada is there, too, with its
steady players, so that the field,
narrowed down to eighty-eight after
two days of elimination, might be
said to be international in aspect.
1T is an old and rather trite say
ing that class will tell The wiser
ones, now that the hectic scramble
through eighteen holes of qualify
ing is a matter of retrospection,
are looking to the tried monarchs
of the game.
fa.t Play Two Days.
s.Seventy-two holes through two
days of frying weather up and
down Columbia's hills and dales, is
going to call into play all the re-
sources of golfing skill and physical
ability that the individuals possess.

there are many who slipped under

the end But II is more than likely
that against the entire field Jim

There is no gainsaying the fact that
players like Jack Burke, John CoWan'
for all his recent illness: Alec smith
with all his years; John Bredemus, Joe
sylvester. w. II. Trovinger, j. ]. Far
reli, Laurie Ayton, or some OF the
newer corners may cut large figure
in the final analysis.
Four Have Edge.
In the matter of doping the winner
there is considerable speculation. But
the trend of the selections point to
the fact that Barnes, Mitchell, Dun
can, and Brady have something on the
field. Whether 1t will last through
two days is a matter Of going through
with it.
