NEW YORK, November 1S.-Com-

that no American will win the British
fixture.
Dates for the American open have
been tentatively set for June %, "a
and Is, at Oakmont, near Pittsburgh,
the same week which the British have
set for their tournament.
Efforts have been made by American
golf officials for several years to have
the British open played earlier in the
season. They argue that the mid
Summer heat in the United States
makes tournament play unbearable,
while the English courses reach their
peak condition much earlier than those
in America.
Therefore, the Americans point out,
it would be the sensible thing for
Americas open to be held in June and
the British open earlier. allowing stars
Of both nations to compete in both
tournaments.
This year the American was held In
July in order to avoid conflict with the
British. Bobby Jones won both tour
