Profiting by the example of the
grimages to the shrines of golf over
seas the last few years. have been
carpeting the bottom of the ocean with
rubber cores. George Duncan and Abe
Mitchell have been keeping in touch
with the cleek and brassie as they plowed
the mighty deep en- route to the United
States and the United States Golf AS
ISOLATION championship at Skokie. In
this event they will do their best 10
atone for the humiliation suffered by
British golf a week or two ago at
Sandwich. Duncan and Mitchell ar
rived yesterday and to-day they will
leave for Chicago to prepare themselves
for the big test beginning Monday and
running throughout the whole of next
week
AS George and Abe stepped ashore
they pointed to a part of the deck
where a large canvas screen had been
erected for their benefit
You see." remarked Duncan. IF we
are from the home of golf there are
some things that your players can
teach us. And we are not above taking
lesson from them. Hagen. Hutchison
and Barnes practiced on their way over
to Sandwich and Walter also kept 1t up
in London, driving balls from the roof
of the Savoy Hotel. Abe and ] have
decided that what Is good for them
cannot be very bad for US. We have
had quite bit of practice coming over
and with any luck in the matter of
weather should be able to settle down
quickly at Skokie.'
Accompanying Duncan and Mitchell
was Willie Hunter, the British amateur
champion of last year. Hunter was a
semi-finalist this year and also was in
the last four in the American amateur
championship at st. Louis. Willie also
took his turn at the nets. for he also
is looking forward to a wtiirl at the

clared: walter deserved to win. He
was easily the best man in the cham
pionship Everybody thinks very highly
of him over there"
Duncans sentiments were indorsed by
Mitchell, who, like George, told how
Hagen had surprised every one by his
play in the wind.
1T was astonishing" said Abe THE
conditions We considered altogether
against Walter, but he showed us that
we were wrong. He judged the winds
to nicely. which is a good deal more
than was able to do.
Duncan and Mitchell both look for
great things from American golf. The
growth Of the game here they consider
remarkable and both look forward to
the time when 1t will rival baseball as
the national sport. They feel that 1t Is
natural that 1t should expand In this
country and see one of the best signs In
the rapid growth of the municipal phase
Of the game.
