There were no silver threads of rain
among the golden sunshine above
the national links today and under
these ideal conditios the Uniteo
more reigned supreme over the golf
ing talent of Great Britain.

A year ago at Hoylake the Amer
leans triumphed by 3 to J. Thelr
three victories came today when
c. V. L. Hooman. the all-around OK
ford athlete. beat Jesse Sweetser
on the thirty-seventh hole in the
finest match of the day, and when
Mckenzie and Darwin finished with
orar NarStOu and EOwneS.
Having related vital statistics. We
will now take up the great match
of the day. between Jesse Guilford.
United States amateur champion. and
Cyril James Hastings Tolley. former
amateur champion of Great Britain
In this match. followed by a great
gallery. there were two vikings OF
golf. Deep-chested. bull-throated.
strong of arm and stout of heart.
Here were two of the great match
players of the game. fearless in the
face of yawning traps. no matter
what the carry and bold enough to
try the stroke that might win. They
had no though OF playing safe for
any half. 1t was win or lose. and
they fought out the thirty-fifth where
Guilford, of Boston. triumphed by the
magic of his putting blade in one
Guilford won by and 1. but he had
to lean upon his deadly putter to
escape defeat. for Tolley. up to the
green, was equally magnificent. This
young Oxford giant, decorated for
bravery in the late war. was as bold
and valiant in his play today as when
he rammed his tank into the face
of German machine gun fire only
to be taken prisoner well back Of the
German lines.
Result Reversed.
There was no long carry into the
winds that came from the sea in
the afternoon that stopped him in
his mighty wallops for the pin. But
unaccountably he lost the touch on
his three-foot puts. and il was this
lone deficit that beat him.
A year ago at Hoylake Tolley beat
Guilford and 1. Today Guilford
was out for revenge and by fine
golf finished up at the turn in
the afternoon. Guilford was forced
to go out in IS to gain this advan-
tage and the first break came for
him at the first hole in the after
noon. Here Tolley. fearing no lurk-
ing traps. tried the long carry for
the first green His crashing wal
only to reach the trap at the cor
ner Of the green 309 yards from
the tee. Guilford. playing safe. drove
to the right and pitched within If
teen feet of the cup. Tolley failed
to get out on his first try and then
without faltering in the slightest
pitched from the sand to within two
feet of the cup 1t was as valiant
a hid as anyone could hope to see.
After this fine effort. Guilford stepped
up coolly and holed his 15-foot putt
for 3. the ball rolling up a steep
hank to find the bottom of the cup
There was no finer put all day. and
" was significant of the final result.
for Guilford. with his body as firm
as rock. putted with miraculous

Tolley. a great putter. had one of
his off days around the green. Time
after time he had chances to win
or to halve a hole. but the putt failed
