CERTAIN TO BE CANCELLED
IFTROUBLE is NOT ENDED
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

IN seems certain that all OF the
L important British golf tour
namcnts-the women's, the amateur,
the open and the Walker Cup-de-
mend absolutely upon whether or
not the present strike in England is
ended.
\ cab!egram from a goliing friend
low in England states that all the
preparations that had been going
forward among Walker Cup candi-
dates has ceased and that golfers, as
opponents of other sports, have
turned TO the work OF helping TO
run the country in various ways.
With the strike continuing for two
OF more weeks, the Walker cup IN

All fhev had TO so on before san
inc was the receipt Of a cable dls-
natch or two relative to the eigipll-
i+v Of certain British and American
players. The only inference to be
drawn vas that the Royal ano
Nncient Club did not entertain the

ton of the L. s. 6. A. TO say any"

in which, as q matter of fact, he had

imatinG genius.
So last Summer he dropped the
br4ssie and putter and took up the
,rlcouet. He showed highly pronis'
ing form in various English tourna'
ments, albeit winning no important
nrizes, and last Winter upon the
Riviera he showed further improve

But either he became convinced that
h. could not hope to become a. world
heater in tennis or else the lnterna-
,ional glamour OF the gold season in
England proved too attractive for him
10 resist.
In any event. he cast aside-possi-
hlv temporarily-hiS court ambitions
and returned to golf. II was the theory
Of English and American golhng
commentators and players that his IN
dulgence in tennis would find his
golf form hopelessly out of gear.
Golf Has Improved.
But far from being so, his form IN
tho Spring golf tournaments has
been, if anything, an improvement
upon his early season performances
IN past wears, and the probability Isl
hat lie has II great year ahead Of
him.
SO far as tennis and golf are con
rerned. il will bc recalled that Miss
Mary X. Browne blends the two
sames perfectly, great exponent
OF both sports.
In truth. she carried the dynamic
fighting spirit of tennis into the
womcn's national championship at
he Rhode Island Country Club in
i9c4, and dominated all her oppon-
ents until She came into the finals
against Mrs Dorothy Campbell IIurd,
who had plenty Of fighting spirit of
her own, and won, up and to
D(ay.
Somc big league managers feel that
GOLF among base ball players affects
both lhcir batting and their fielding.
hut it may be suspected that in re
ality the attitude of the managers
IS based more upon the fear that the
players interest will be divided rather
than that they will be affected
