golfing greats have had difficulty in
winning in Britain. they have had lit
tie trouble in annexing the matches on
this side Of the water. At the National
links in 1922, America won by points
to 4. and at Garden City in 1924 the
winning margin was 9 to 3.

If the British win this year the re-

BY WALTER r. McCALLUM.

IF fairly formidable British
Walker Cup team. taking the field
at Chicago week hence, annexes
the international golf trophy
played for between amateurs Of
the two great golfing nations. it will
mark the first victory for the simon
pure representatives of the tight little
isle. For Britain's links warriors. sue
cessful in defense of their own cham
pionship for SO many years. have been
as unsuccessful in their attempts to
annex the Walker Cup as they have
been in their efforts to lift the Ameri-
can amateur championship
This years British team appears to
lean toward new faces, particularly in
the top sector of the invading band.
Thomas p. Perkins, the present British
amateur champion. and DR.. William
TWeddell, last years champion. are but
two of the six invaders who have
drawn their initial assignment to
Walker Cup matches
Meanwhile America is reactionary.
at least to the point where all of the
members of the defending team are
veterans of these international matches
Based on the uniform success Of the
Americans in the past four matches,
they should have no great difficulty in
retaining the cup. For II Britain could
not win with Tolley, Wethered and
Kyle, how can it hope to win with the
younger and less experienced players
who compose the British team of to-
day?
DO Not Appear So Strong.
A weathervane pointing the way to
probable American. victory was the
unlooked-for defeat of all four British
qualif1ers yesterday in the Western
amateur championship at Chicago
They fell and fell fast before the on
slaught OF group of youngsters from
Western colleges and the Pacific North
west. And the strange part of it is
that only one of the contestants in the
Western-Chick Evans-is a member of
the American Walker Cup team The
logical conclusion would be that IL the
British can be beaten in match play
by men not deemed good enough to
make the American team. how can
they hope to make Roadway against
the best America puts in the lists.
But a glance at the British team
shows them to be men of sturdy match
play tendencies, not to be hurried into
needless play, and golfers who have
built up reputation by downing the
best of the older rank Of Britishers.
Tommy Perkins, called by many the
most promising young player produced
in England since the war. will oppose
Bobby Jones, ace of the American out
fit. Perkins is "a years of age, and a
consistently good performer.
In his course through the British
amateur championship he is said to
have averaged around ~ in his
matches. Such golf as that over the
