After Prestwick, where all Americans
were eliminated. the problem that be-
sets British amateur golfers is how to
win the team title from America this
year. 1t Is one Of the chief topics
around the most prominent clubs.
rivaled only by a controversy on
whether the British shall play golf In
comfort, or respect the ancient and hon
cradle tradition and continue to wear
coats on the links.
1t is practically decided that the team
will be captained by. Capt. Angus V.
Hambro, M. p. who probably will also
act as reserve player. There is a de-
mand for new blood in the team, be-
cause the old standbys. while undouist--
edly fine shot players, have failed again
and again on important occasions when
the nerve strain was acute, and 1t Is
believed that fresh talent will bring
happier results.
1t is considered certain that Willie
Hunter, Roger Wethered and Cyril Toll
ley will be chosen. Colin Aylmer and
that leaves five vacancies, including two
reserves. Harold III. Hilton has got
strong backing because he won the
American championship, and also, 1t Is
considered, his experience would be In
valuable. Young Harry Braid also Is
being seriously considered. John Wilson,
the Prestwick schoolmaster. is a candi-
date, although his inexperience is
against him. Other possibilities are W.,
b. Torrance and Bernard Darwin. There
is considerable agitation to take Ar
mour though players are against this.
as he has permanent residence in
America.
Thus far funds have been coming in
slowly, and the st. Andrews committee
Is making a new appeal to raise the
necessary $4,000. The appeal states
that nothing like the required amount
has been received, and asks each of
among its members.
Arguments In favor of the general
practice of shedding coats for comfort
meet with two answers. The first Is.
ut isn't done i'm golf." and the second
is, 1.-THE Americans do it, But the in
tense heat at Prestwick this week in
spired some of the stronger minded
players to start campaign for players
to make a stand against compulsory
coats The squestion has claimed tho
dignity of editorial columns. the, Erpress
calling coats on the links "the stupidest
of many Of our stupid taboos."

signs of weakness. AS they began to

pinned in on the rail. began to work her
way forward. and SO did Polly Ann. But
Fairbrother kept the Coe filly going at
q fast pace, and. stalling off determined
challenges by Chateau Thierry and
Polly Ann. landed his mount the victor.
Chateau Thierry made UP a lot of
ground In the last furiong and was run
ming strongest at the end. She probably
would have beaten Mr.. Goes filly II
the distance had been a little longer.
Polly Ann ran one of her best races.
Many Smiles covered the one mile route
In the exceptionally fast time Of :37 1-5.
Richard T. Wilson's Kirk Lady. a
daughter of Campfire. won the opening
event, but she was not the best. She
ran straight and true. while Oakwood
of the Nevada Stock Farm, the best In
the race. ran all over the track and lost
at least half dozen lengths during the
four and a half furlong dash down the
straight chute.
Dimmesdale, the Olambala. colt. which
r. II. Wilson sold to Frank Farrell last
fall. won the Hampstead purse at seven
furlongs He ran one of the best races
of his career and covered the distance in
1: :23 3-5. At the end he was length
and a half in front OF Mrs. II. b. Cas-
satt's Chesterbrook, who easily beat Mrs.
Wilfrid viau's Georgie
McAtee got Dimmesdale off well and
raced him to the front in the first six
teenth of a mile. and thero he remained
to the end. George ran disappointing
race. He was outrun In the early stages
but finished strong. At mile he might
have been the winner. Chesterbrook' S
race was exceptionally good.
Siren Maid made a runaway race OF
the fifth. She followed the pace for
half a mile. then went to the front and
galloped home an easy winner by four
lengths. She was entered to be sold for
$4,000. and after her victory Red
Freeman bid her up to $4,000.
The last race was very unsatisfactory.
1t was a four and half furlong sprint
for juvenile fillies. George ID. Widener' s
Equinoctial won. with John K. Madden S
The Kiss second and Walter j. Salmon's s
Papillon third. The three leaders ran
fairly straight. but several others
swerved all over the course and had no
chance. Among them was Harry Payne
Whitneys Cresta. the favorite. She was
considered the sure winner before the
race. Another TO run all over the track
was Bernard Harding's Elizabeth Bean.
Before the first race Mr.. Harding
added three horses to his string. which
is In charge OF Kimball Paterson. He
bought Reap and Patch Work from j..
SA Cosden and Top Notch from Lewis
Garth.
In the first race there was lot of
humping and Soldier. who finished
third, was disqualified and the third end
OF the purse went to the Syndicate
