It is not pleasant to be so pessimis-
tic as that. but it is flattering. at
least, to the American golfers, Show
ing the high regard in which they
are held by the golfers of Great Brit
ain. In commenting on this, Hilton is
far more optimistic than his corre-
spondent. He says:
"Of course, the previous interna-
tional match at Hoylake last year
provided us with a very fair indica-
tion of, the strength Of amateur play
across the water. and the indication
certainly suggests that any team which
we might send across could have but
little hope of success on American
links. But, personally, consider that
to three in favor of America-was not
in any way a true register of the
merits Of the respective teams.
ITO my mind. it should have been a
very close affair, but our men played
as IL they had too much to lose and
little to gain. while the Americans
. tackled the task In an entirely con-
trary spirit In other words, the in
dividual British players played in a
were afraid Athey might lose, and did
not relfshs the prospect of doing so.
while the Americans tackled their
game with an open mind. But on the
coming occasion 1t is the Britishers
who should be in the happy position
Of having much to gain and little to
lose. Il
