Sweetser uncorked a dazzling string
of brides and pars, winning from the
siege gun by 4 and 3, aided somewhat
by three dead stymies and several
others which were in the half -stymie

the event must. be credited to Cyril
I j: ii. Tolley, the 1920 British amateu
tltle-hoider. Playing against Ruddy

ball at the 200 yard seventh hole
! trimmed the cup for l. He played
the shot with a maslie iron against
strong head wind. Get that, you
golfers, and then realize what a
grand player this representative of
British golf is. Tolley did hole one
approach, pitch shot to the seven
teenth, against f. c. Newton in the
first round.
And this magnificent British lad.
a hero of the war, who pushed his
tank miles inside the German lines
and langushed for year in a Ger
man prison. is regular he-guy. Toll
ley may impress some persons as
| being too reserved. He may appear
phlegmatic, but when he is in a golf
match he is out there for golf and not
for conversation. That is the way
the game should be played. Some
were inclined to criticize the big
Britisher for his Indifferent attitude
against George Aulbach. the Boston
public linis player. But Aulbach is said
to have done around Boston certain
things that are without the pale of
gentlemanly golf. cyril was told of
this. and Auloach was warned, but
Tolley showed no attitude of disdain.
On the contrary. he gave the impress
sion of going out of his way to make
! the round pleasant for Aulbach. Tol-
ley is gentleman through and

to hear his brogans on the clubhouse
