the chalk cliffs facing the channel. But most
of the time the player cannot even see tine

The fairways roll and swell, rise and fall, HE

in by great hills OF sand, dotted with tough

the sole outsider to capture the amateur title.
Travis victory was achieved In 1904 at Sand
wich. The British consoled themselves with
the thought that Travis had been born in Aus
until long after he entered the United States.
There grew up q legend that Travis had won
not so much by good all-around golf as by
magical, not to say miraculous, and lucky
putting. He used q center-Shaft putter, called
q Schenectady for short. After he had gone
home with it, and the championship as well,
the wise and worthy gentlemen who sit in
the parliament Of golf at st. Andrew decided
that q Schenectady putter was not q At and
proper implement for inducing q golf bali to
drop into q tin cup. and, SO deciding. barred
It's further employment In the United Kingdom
and the dominions beyond the seas.
Years Of championship games went by after
that without another serious threat from across
the ocean. Then came the war and the sus-
pension Of championship play. Each Summer
since the peace American golfers have crossed
the Atlantic and added brilliant pages to the
honored history of the eight celebrated courses
of the championship rota-Sandwich, Deal,
Westward Ho and Hoylake In England and St.
Andrews Muirfield Troon and Prestwick in
Scotland. The flip given to the competitions
by the entry of the Yankees quickened the in
tereSt Of the public to such a point that the
galleries grew and grew until on a Friday
afternoon in June Of 1925 more than $4,000
men, women and school children swarmed and
scurried over the links at Prestwick, in the
beloved Ayrshire Of Bobby Burns, to see one
Scottish-born American, Macdonald Smith, try
to win the championship. Special trains rolled
down from Glasgow packed with golf enthusi-
asts and all the schools and factories in the
nearby towns were closed
Partly, perhaps principally, because the crowd
was 90 big and 30 bothersome, Smith, who
needed only 10 to win, took 81 distresSful

winners Of some Of these tournaments reckon
their prizes IN thousands Of dollars.
Unlike the pros Of Britain, the Americans
seem always to travel first class. Snapshots
taken in midocean picture them driving expen-
sive golf balls of the boat deck into the sea.
They arrive at the course In motors for pr1-
vate hire" and spurn the half-a-crown lunches
In the professionals tent on the championship
grounds for the four-courSe meal in the visitors
marquee. Their working clothes are almsot in
variably fresh and expensive, If a tride gay
in color for the British atmosphere. And they
have q habit Of appearing in a different en-
semble each morning, while Vardon goes about
in the same old knickers and Ray in the same
old Stacks.
THE wardrobes of the American professionals
and the social standing which they as
ymed rather bewildered the conservative British
onlookers in the early postwar years. The
galleries used to pay as much attention to Sar-
azen's daily change Of sweaters and Hagens
selection of shoes as they did to the clubs these
golfers chose. II Britain's pros felt envious
Of their prosperous American rivals, they also
had cause to admire their skill, If not their
sweaters. OF the last nine British open cham
pionShips six have been won by American
professionals and two Of the remaining three
were captured by Bobby Jones. Since 1921 the
championship cup has remained only one year
in its island home
Unlike the tourists who go to Europe to
take in cathedrals and capitals, the globe
trotting golfers Of America are a strictly post
war development In International intercourse.
Championship trophies seldom crossed frontiers
in the years before the war. American entrants
in British tournaments were decidedly rare and
little esteemed. Up until the war Arnold Massey,
q Frenchman, was the only foreigner who ever
had won a British open championship, and
the late Walter J. Travis, from America, was

strokes. After that the British
adopted the American practice of
charging admission to champion
ships. Since then the crowds have
been smaller and more manage
able.
When Smith lost ct Prestwick
It was to another American, Jim
Barnes. Until their arrival IN
Prestwick for that championship
of 1925 the lowest medal score
that ever had been made on the
course was q, and championships
had been played at PreStwick since
1860. Barnes in his very first round
turned in q 70. Smith went out
the same day and cut the record
down to SO. Such is the American
contribution to the long story OF
the Ayrshire golfing country.
Sandwich has recorded longer
and more brilliant page of Amert-
can victories. Eighteen years after
Travis took the amateur trophy
away from England the British
open was won for the first time by
a native-born American, Walter
Hagen. That was in 1922. Jock
Hutchinson of Chicago had won it
the previous Summer at st. An
drews, but st. Andrews was JOCKS
birthplace and that is where he
learned his golf. Besides, as the
Scots will remind one to this day,
Hutchins would never have been In
the play-o6 and never would have
won If Roger Wethered had only
kept his foot of his own ball, q
clumsy accident which incurred
penalty that permitted the Amer1-
can to equal the young English"
mans score for the four rounds.
But when Hagen won at Sandwich
the two players who finished
closest to him were both Amef1-
cans. From that windy afternoon
dates the beginning of American "a.
premacy in international golf.
THE Americans were back 81
Sandwich again in 1928. AN
the amateurs Of the Walker Cup
team were there that year to play
for the st. Georges vase, the Oldest
and most treasured trophy for
medal play among amateurs. Two
of the visitors, Francis Ouimet OF
Boston and DR.. o. F. willing of
Portland, Greg, led the field with
q tie. On the play-o6 ouimet won.
It was at Sandwich, five years
later, that Hagen captured the
open championship for the third
time, and had his picture taken
with the Prince Of Wales, who has
a handicap of 16 strokes.

JUSTICE HITS i. S.
/ IN BARNETT CASE.
Van Devanter Holds Interior
and Justice Departments
{ Are Open to Criticism.

Justice Van Devanter of the United
States Supreme Court yesterday criti-
cized the Government for Some of its
activities in the famous Jackson Bar
nett case
The criticism came from the justice
when he interrupted an argument by
Seth w. Richardson, an Assistant At
torney General, who was contending
that 100000 allowed attorneys for as
sisting Barnett to recover $550,000
should be returned to him.
The case, which has been before the
courts several years, grew out of the
action of Barnett, a wealthy Greek In
dian, in placing his thumb print to an
agreement under which $1,100,O00 was
given his wife, Anna Laura Barnett, and
the American Baptist Home Mission
Society for an Oklahoma orphanage.
Richardson contended that the attor-
neyS who aided the Indian in recovering
the $550,000 were motivated by what
they would get out of it,
II would't say that" Justice Van
Devanter interrupted.
Mr.. Richardson explained he did not
intend to criticize the lawyers, adding
that he never thought there had been
any danger that Barnett would lose his
money entirely.
There seems to me to have been a
grave danger that he would have lost it,
Justice Van Devanter said. THE Gov
ernment allowed it to get out of his
posseAsoE and then said in effect, We
won't 90 after it. When some one else
did go after it, they argued, You don't
get anything for it, -
Mr.. Richardson resumed, but Van
Devanter broke in for the third time.
"Let me say" he told the Govern
ment attorney. that think the Inte-
rior and Justice Departments are open
to the sharpest criticism for some of
the things that happened in the Bar
nett case"
