WITH YANk GOLFERS
Los Angeles Star Ranks With
Best in World

New Britain, April 30.--(By the AS
ISOLATED Press)--Fred J. Wright. Jr..
of Los Angeles who held the Massa-
chusetts junior and amateur golf
championships whom member of the
Albemarle club of Newton, Mass.
sprang into international prominence
In 1921 when as a member of the
United States team invading England
he was the last American survivor in
the British amateur tournament. His
showing then has prompted confidence
that he will be heard from again this
season when with other Americans
now abroad for international play he
takes his second crack at the British
title besides helping to defend the
Walker cup.
Did Well In 1921
In the 1921 title contest in England
Wright forged steadily through the
field while such noted team mates as
Francis Ouimet. Bobby Jones, Jesse
Guilford and Chick Evans fell by the
wayside. He was eliminated in the
sixth round before the semi finals by
Bernard Darwin in a 10 hole match.
Wright has made his home in Los
Angeles since early in 1922 and rank
ed high in various sectional and state
tournaments on the coast He was a
semi finalist In the state amateur
tournament losing to Jack Neville, the
champion.
In the last southern California open
championship Wright led the amateur
contingent with card Of 200 eight
strokes behind Eddie Loos the winner.
He and Neville were the only anna
tours to defeat Walter Hagen and Joe
Kirkwood, professional stars during
the Pacific coast tour of the latter pair
early this year.
Great Match Player
Wrights chances of victory in Eng
land are enhanced by the fact that he
is an exceptionally fine match player.
He plays boldly for the cup with his
chip shots and long puts and has the
Vardon trick of getting backspin with
his irons without gouging the turf.
Wright's brilliant playing in the
east attracted attention before his
stellar work in England in 1921. He
was the Massachusetts state champion
when in his teens and was tied with
Bobby Jones for the qualifying medal
in the national championship in 1920.
