 Tommy Armour, recently crowned
 as the new open golf champion of the United States, will play an ex-
 hibition match at the Chippauee Country club in this city on Tues
 day afternoon, August 9. according
 to an announcement made today
 The presence of such golf artist
 end the lack of exhibition matches
 in this section this year will attract
 golfers from over this section, it is
 believed.
 Playing with Armour on that aft
 ernoon will be Arthur Reid. pro- tessional at the Pennington Country club and paired against Armour and Reid will be Jack Stait of Hartford and Herbert Lagerblade of this city. who has won many New England matches.
 The playing will start about 4:3o and will bring before the anticipated large gallery four ball best match of eighteen holes. II will be Ar mours' first appearance in Connecti-
 cut since winning the American n nl, few weeks ago.
 The American Open championship is a coveted honor which Armour
 won when he holed fifty foot putt on the eighteenth green and when on the play-off he defeated Harry
 Cooper by one stroke.
 In spite of the fact that he is the open golf champion, Armour is greatly handicapped by injuries re-
 ceived during his service in the World War. Armour was attending
 Stewards school in Edinburgh when the war broke out in 1914. He was among the first to volunteer for
 service and with Bobby Cruicksank,
 he joined the famous Black Watch regiment. During desperate bit ot hand-to- fighting he was severely wounded in the left arm. After his recovery he joined up with a machine gun outfit and soon was commissioned. Later he was transferred to the tank corps and while serving with one of these units 1 in Juen of 1918 came within an ace ! of losing his life. When his tank
 was blown to atoms by a German 1 she'll he and one other of the crew { of seven were the only ones to
 escape alive. He recovered from his | injuries and got back into action | again before the end of the war. only to be caught in a mustard gas attack which nearly blinded him. 1 Today the sight of one eye Is en- tirely gone.
 Tn spite of thtse injuries and han dicaps, Armour is today regarded as | one of the finest allround shot 1 makers that there is in the world. | He Is a stylist of the firset-water
 and his firm is ideally adapter for almost anyone who plays golf. After his exhibition. Armour will | probably give a demonstration of | golf shots which will be helpful 10 | those who are trying to master this
 game.
