AMERICANS MAY INVADE BRITISH LINKS NEXT YEAR

New York. September 2s.-1t is not unlikely that team of home-bred American golfers will go across the water next year to play team match against Great Britain. A scheme is on foot today to raise a subseription.for this purpose, and the promoters are encouraged over the way men of influence, to whom the plan has been presented. are taking to it.
 After Martin OLoughlin, the Plain field pro. won the metropolitan champ piouship at Lido and Johhny Farrel. another sturdy home bred. finished second, the idea of the ad visibility Of getting together a team seemed settled. Sarazen, holder Of the open championship, suggested he woul like to make one of party to go over. and Hagen also liked the idea when it was presented to him.
 Homebreds have swept everything before them this summer in a man ner which has left no doubts as to their superiority, at least their com ing superiority. in the game. This series of victories began over in England. when Walter Hagen won the British title. Gene Sarazen fol. lowed this showing with another score for American golf when he won the national open. Gene was still right on the job at Oakmont, and took the professional golfers asso- ciation championship with Emmet French, another home-bred, meeting him in the final.
 Al Waltrous, born in America, won the Canadian open and Tommy Kerrigan, also native to this soil, was second. George Kerrigan won the Massachusetts title. Other suc- cesses for the home-breds were re- corded by Charles Heffner, who took the Philadelphia professional golfers title and the Philadelphia open. and Johnny Farrel, who won the Shaw nee shield.

 French Cracked Records
 Emmet French broke a worlds record in winnig the Ohio state cham pionship. The Youngstown course, where the competition was held, is par 73. yet French went around in 67-6S-71-6S for a total Of 274 one stroke better than the worlds record for the 72-hole route made by the late Douglas Edgar. The best done in America hitherto was PTS made by Mcdonald Smith in win ming the metropolitan championship at Scarsdale in 1914. Long Jim Barnes made PTS in a tournament at Vancourtland park a few years ago, but the links were not within 200 yards of being a championship course.
