I'm lust a short while now Cyril James
Hasting Tollev, amateur golf cham
picn Of Great Britain, will be on
i his way to the , un,1ea saw bv
Eustace Storey. Lord Charles Hope and
Mai, GUY Campbell three famous
British amateurs, who hope to get even
with Bobby Jones for the bitter meol-
cine he has handed British amateurs In
the last few years. =.
Jones beat Tolley by II and II at ST.
Andrews. He nailed Perkins by ABOUT
the same margin in the walker cup
matches at the Chicago Coli Ciuo. ana
later on at Braeburn. But Toiley mas
been playing a lot better golf this sea-
son and no one ever has questioned ms
qaneness. You couldn't question the
oameness of youngster VINO ~ouiu
drive a tank two miles through tne
German lines and then open Hre d.
close range on a dugout holding part
of the general staff. -,
The British contingent Will pe
taken West to Pebble Beacn' unu1l
the careful guidance of H. II.
rack Ramsay of the United Ststes
Golf Association. as competent an
of6cial as any amateur association
over had. They will arrive in time
IN learn the links, for Pebble Beach
is a links and not a course, as u
happens to be a seaside affair. Tnat
is. it is seaside if you care to give
the Pacific Ocean ranking among
the seven seas: If the Paclnc ocean
isn't seaside, then the Atlantic Is
sand trap.
The Brit sh are much better at seaside
golf and they are sure to like the great
test awaiting them on the Monterey
Peninsula, where California intends TO
put on a golf show that will never be
forgotten. And when California steps
out to put ON show you can gample
your last cigarette that show Will De
put on worth remembering for q long
time Especially SO with one Roger
Lapham hanging around the wings and
directing part of the scenery. What
California wants is final between
Jones and Won EN- or Jones and Toliey.
1t may get its wish.
About $3.50.
THE United States Of America hasn't
l. SO much to rave about when II
comes to amateur golf championships
in comparison with the British. Walter
J, Travis, born in Australia, whose golf
was entirely American, won the British
amateur in 1904 Harold Hilton came
over and made it all square by winning
o,lr championship in 1911. Jess Sweetse:
nut the United States l up by winning
the British title in 1926.
So United States golfers have won
lust one British amateur title in
IS wears. In that time Bobby Jones
has tried twice. Travers twice.
Chick Evans three times, Ouimet
three times, Sweetser twice, Gardner,
Marston, Fownes, Gum, Mackenzie
and many others. But with the
exceptions named they were all killed
off. usually early in action.
,Iohnnv Dawson had a great chance
when he reached the semi-f1nal rouno
= m and Z to play. But he couldn't
quite make it, even with that running
start.
Seaside golf is different. The crack
pros of the country discovered that Iac'
at the National Golf Links last Sep
TENDER, when the best they could oo
was to tie at 3o2; And most e. OF 'hen'
Seventy-five at the National. from
the back tees, is good for anybody.
Seventy-five will be fine golf at
Pebble Beach, with keen wind
blowing. The wind Is the greatest
of all hazards and the finest test
of all-around control.
Being accustomed to seaside condl-
lions the British invaders VIII nave
their best chance at Pebble Beacn:
There is q possibility that several
others might enter from Scotland or
England.
viii have to face will be George Won
Elm and Johnny McHugh. They can
play a lot of golf and they knlSw Feb
