entry into the professional ranks.
She will turn in her amateur card
at the New York offices of the Anna

one of several offers as swimming and

inaSmuch as all prophets are subject
TO the well known raspberry when
their predictions so astray, he is TAX
ing this opportunity to point out that
this tournament developed along the
lines he suggested. Ten golfers were
named as likely to set the pace
Bobby Jones, Johnny Farrell, Mac
Donald Smith, Walter Hagen. Gene
SaraZen, Willie Macfarlane, Francis
Ouimet. William Melhorn. Leo Diegel
and Jock Hutchison. OF these seven
finished in the money.

ed above those of the rest of the field
Jones tied for the championship, Far
rell finished a stroke behind Smith
did not show but in view of his great
golf this Spring it would have been
impossible to leave him out of any
rating.
Farrell, with any kind of luck,
ought to win the open championship
within the next three years. He is
too good a golfer to be held off much
longer. Ever since his debut in open
championship competition Farrell has
been knocking at the door. Each year
has seen him advance a step nearer
the top. Every season, too, has seen
some improvement in his game, for
Farrell, in addition to being a great
shotmaker, is highly intelligent pro-
fessionaliy.
Another feature of this tournament
was the comeback of Gene Sarazen
the lion-hearted little linksman, who
does not know the meaning of the
word quit. Gene had not been play
ing any too we'll of late. He went to
the open tournament, however, de
termined to give everything he had
in a great attempt to repeat his bril-
liant victory at Skokie. How near he
came to succeeding is q matter of
history. Two strokes out, and with
better break in luck, he would have
been out in the lead.
Game Getting Faster.
The showing of Farrell, Sarazen
Diegal, Espinosa, TurneSa and other
youngsters indicates the game is be-
coming faster every year. Three
over fours in a sizzling heat Is quite
some golf, and illustrates clearly just
how much America has developed in
the game.
The comeback of Francis Ouimet,
the most popular amateur in the
game excepting possibly Jones, gave
the large gallery a great kick. This
wonderful SHOEMAKER gave a marvel
Gus exhibition up to the final three
holes.
The showing of young Turnesa, who
George Duncan, the peerless Scot,
says is one of the most promising
golfers he has seen in this country.
was gratifying to his admirers, and
their boast that this lad
will be heard from shortly.
Evening star., 1925-06-08

The simple fact is that Macfarlane
is first and last a family man. He
has a charming wife and lovable
little daughter of some 10 years, who
endeared herself to all golfers here.
Willie is devoted to both, and be-
cause he has preferred to remain by
home fires rather than to seek out
fame and fortune in championship
tournaments he has not obtained the
renown or the monetary reward that
might have been his before.
Great and Amiable Player.
What kind of golfer is this Mac
farlane, conqueror of the great Bob
by Jones, the golf world is asking?
The answer is that this easygoing
Scot, with large blue eyes and a
smile as wide as the brim of his
Panama, is one of the most brilliant
shot makers in the game. What the
gallery saw in the final struggle be-
tween Jones and Macfarlane was a
great contest of wonderful shots In
this respect especially this particular
match was one of the most spectacu-
lar ever played.
Macfarlane Is not a great hitter.
which explains why Jones outdrove
him repeatedly. Likewise he is not
the best putter in the game, although
ne is good in both departments. But
he is a wonderful player of the irons
and q shotmaker de luxe, and be-
cause of his ability in this respect he
always can be counted on to hold his
own in any field.
Macfarlane came to this country
10 years ago. Formerly he was pri-
vate instructor to Murray Guggen-
helm, the copper king, who at ga is
a very steady player, thanks to
Willie's teachings. About five years
ago Macfarlane took the position of
golf professional at Oak Ridge.
neighbortng club of Quaker Ridge.
where Johnny Farrell is located. The
pair have engaged in frequent golf
combats, and it is still question of
great debate at these two clubs as
to which is the better.
though defeated in the final strue-
gle Friday, Bobby Jones remains one
OF the greatest golf players of all
tlme. To say that he is the greatest
would invite debate, particularly from
admirers of Walter Hagen, but it can
not be denied that at the rate he is
going the Atlanta boy will set up
record of competitive play that will
never be equaled in quality.
When the writer stated before the
tourney that everything pointed to a
very open tournament, little did he
think the competition would be so
extremely keen or the caliber of golf
so brilliant. The fact that at least
six players had the chance of win
ming right up to the last hole indicated
how fast the going was.

three trial matches, Maj. Lockett has

their captains instructions.
The American teams first appear
ance in London at the Ranlagh Club

team, presented the visitors with. an
ordeal for their first fast game in this
country. The Jhodapore Club not
only has the best mounted team in
London, but it's combination play has
been built up excellently through
many tournaments in India.
The game resulted in d defeat of
the Americans by score of 10 goals
to g This was due almost entirely
pace. The American ponies were not
fit for hard gallop, and a great deal
of the missing noticeable was due to
mistiming by the American players,
owing to the pace being faster than
that to which they had been accus-
toned. Every polo player knows what
such a sudden increase of pace
means. This also was responsible
for the lack of teamwork, an attri-
butte one is beginning to expect from
all American polo teams.
Is Excellent Practice.
The game, however. afforded ex-
cellent practice and the Americans
profited, as was shown by their sec
ond display at Hurlingham. There
they faced d team captained by Lord
Wodchouse, which had been opposing
the British army players. and de-
feated it decisively by 10 goals to 6.
