saw the job finished when he took
Al to the turn this afternoon. Abe
Mitchell, tied with Diegel at noon,
took 40. He finally finished in
a tie with Allis at 800.
Johnny Farrell had the rankest
of outside chances when he started
the final round and even this faded
out when he needed 80 strokes to
the turn.
And SO the British Open cham.
pionship went to America again for
the sixth successive time. Only in
1928 was Arthur Havers able to
break the Yankees monopoly that
then Havers got the scare of his
life when this same Hagen almost
holed his chip on the final green
in a dying attempt to get tie.
George Duncan 311.
George Duncan. of whom the
British had expected SO much, fin
ished the championship distance
with q rs for a grand total of 311.
He came to the hume green almost
unattended. although the galleries
elsewhere were enormous.
Percv Allis. who had been four,
strokes behind Hagen in second
place at the end Of the third round,
played his final round in 70 for q
grand total OF 800, tying with Abe
Mitchell. The latter shot a 7s this
afternoon.
Both played poorly in their final
attempt to catch the fleeting
Hagen. Allis found himself in
many bunkers, repeatedly pulling
his tee shots and putting none too
well. Mitchell hit long, beautiful
ball but couldn't putt a lick. His
best performance came on the short
thirteenth where an accurate iron
from the tee and a 9-foot putt got
him a deuce.

George Won Elm. the one prom
