fine ending for those who were inter
ested in Tolley's success.
/ remember distinctly the finish of
the match. 1t looked as if Gardner
was going to win on the first extra
hole. He had the honor and drove
D fine tee shot to the left of the
green about hole high. The hole
measures less than 200 yards. Both
used an iron. Tolley hit his rather
low. 1t started on a line so yards to
the left and looked as though it
might finish in a trap. When
the ball started my first thought was
that Tolley had thrown away his
chances. The ball missed the trap
within scarcely three feet. The
the ball curled in towards the green,
stopping about Is feet from the cup.
Great excitement prevailed. The
big gallery was tense as it always
is a just such a moment as this. 1
remember little Benny Savers run
ming all the way back to the tee to
tell Tolley that the shot had turned
out all right and was snugly on the
green within puttable distance.
Gardner was away and laid the ball
within two feet of the cup, then Toll
logs made careful preparations to
putt. He had habit of lying down
on the ground to size up the proper
line to the hole.

Won The Chamy piOnship.
l think Tolley would have been
greatly pleased If he had laid the
ball dead. but as it was he sank the
putt and won the championship.
However, Tolley never saw the ball
drop in the hole. On making long
puts Tolley had habit of turning
away Before the ball fell into the
cup. On this occasion he was turned
completely around when he heard
the shout from the gallery and he
knew then that the ball had dropped
and that the championship was his.

BYWALTER HAGEN.
british Open Champion and Corre-
spOndent of The AEc-Herald and
of The North American News
paper Allfance.)

The American golf team which is
now in England practicing for the
British amateur championship at
Deal may not be considered to be as
strong as the team that defeated the
British players of Hoylake two years
ago nor the team that defeated the
Britishers on the National links last
September, but / would be willing to
wager that these boys win the
Walker cup again this year.
There are not SO many on the 1928
team that took part at Hoylake.
Ouimet and Wright are the only sur
vivors of the original team. l am
golf fans will be surprised to know
that we have so many first class
amateurs in this country. Gardner.
Heron, Sweetser, Rotan, johnson,
Marston and Willing are all first
class players. The tenth member
would be either Reggie Lewis or Jack
Neville. One of these players will
be selected to take Chick Evans
place.
Chick should Have Gone.
The disappointment caused by Chick
Evans failing to appear at the elev-
enth hour did not give Capt. Bob
Gardner as much concern as it might
have. Chick made mistake in not
making the trip this year. l believe
he had the best chance of any to
bring back the British amateur cup.
Chick can always be counted on to
play first class golf and 1 think he
was about due to win the champion
skip abroad this year. This would
have been his fourth try for the
title.
A better man to lead the team
could not have been selected than
Robert Gardner, who has twice won
our amateur championship and who
was runner up to Tolley in the Brit
ish amateur championship at Muir
field in 1920. l never saw cham
pionship which looked to be as much
of cinch to a golfer as this did for
Gardner. After the first Is holes in
the morning round Gardner had a
lead of two up. He was playing a
much steadier game than Tolley and
it looked as if he would hold on to
his lead in the afternoon round. This
he surely would have done had his
putting not failed him. Bob missed
no less than six short puts, any one
of which would have given him the
championship as the match went to
the thirty-seventh green before 1t
was decided in favor of Tolley.
