English Amateur Golf Cham pionship will Remain At
 Home Another Year

HOYLAKE, May 26.-(By The Asso- 'ciated Press.)-The British amateur championship is to remain at home for at least another year.
 British players, having disposed of the last man of the American contin- gent, an Englishman will retain the emblem. Either Allan Graham. of the Royal Liverpool Club, or w. I. Hunter of Walmer and Kingsdown, will be the new champion, having won their way through the semi-final round this afternoon.
 F. J. Wright, of Boston, the last sur vivings American, succumbed this morning to B. Darwin, of Woking. This match, one of the most brilliant of the series, went to the 18th hole, where the Englishman won by a stroke
 Wright's match with Darwin served to increase the regard the Bostonian had won Wednesday by defeating the veteran ex-champion John Ball, Of tie &;oyal Liverpool Club. The Ameri- can'sstyle of play, his sportsinansEip
  ard his clean cut appearan,e were greatly admired by the English spec tators. Wright's habit of putting his shots was particularly injurious to him in today's wind.
 Precise and careful on every stroke, Wright took the lead and maintained 1t to the 18th green, where the match was squared. The Englishman then took the 17th but lost the 18th. Dar- win won the match on the extra hole.
 The feature of today's discussion among golfers was the decision by Royal and Ancient Golf Club rules committee to bar the ribbed or slotted clubs used by American golfers. The, ban, however, will not be put into operation this year.
 American visitors and players were less numerous about the links today. A few of the American golfers, how ever, took part in pleasure matches Francis Ouimet and Bobby Jones played foursome with c. J. Gastel, of Chantilly, France, and Captain Webster, of New Zealand The result was win for Jones and Webster by ? and 1.
