II nav be all very we'll to speak
lightly Of this British danger, but
tisYe are SIX or eight men from this
nIstoon who can play enough good
eon to beat any one in the world.
English Players Dangerous
csrtainly no American golfer can
asard to take Tolley, Wethered, Hun
tsr and Hooman softly II they are
hitting the ball anywhere near their
ton form. Armour, Caven and Aylmer
wtIl BE- dangerous in any lone match,
and so will Torrance. They are better
from the tee as g group than any set
Il amateurs we have ever seen, and
;hoss who follow them will lay their
astonished eyes upon some prodigious
hitting.
The British assault this time is a
real threat, and 1t would be in no way
surprising TO see one of them welding
euagel in the final round on Satur-
dsy next. Not bit of it.
On the part Of home talent, two of
shs most formidable figures in the

IN any golf test the main factors
are timing and putting touch, and no
prophet can say when these fckle birds
will come and go. A 70 is easy one
round, and 70 is q heart-breaking
stuggle The next; but there will be

0uimet May Be Winner
Certainly Jones, 0uimet, Guilford,
Evans, Gardner, Tolley and Hunter
sis all capable Of winning this cham
plunship, and If Jesse Sweetser or
l1ne Of the other youngsters happen
hhe IN p winning mood, they may go
long way. 0uimet looks to be the
most dangerous man in the field over

sof this reason If we had to name one
