.HE Old Master does not make
many mistakes when 1t comes

DOWN 10 the simple JOD OF sep
arating the golfers from the
golfers.
Freddie Mcleod, the sage of Colum-
bia, went far out on q limb last Tues
day. predicting that Sandy Somervil:e
would win the national amateur cham
pionship.
He is too compact, too fine hitter
and too great a competitor to lose this
one" Freddie said, after looking through
the draw. He Is in the easiest half,
where he will not have a tough match
until the final and where he can go on
gathering confidence with each matcn.
Furthermore he is hitting the ball bet
ter than any man in the field. Only
one man know can stop him and that
ran-Jones-is out of competition"
That's the way Freddie spoke of Ross
Somerville before the match play
started. And to make Freddie's case
more cogent, he backed his judgment.
Freddie went down hook, line and sink
er on Somerville.
The little Columbia Scot has suf-
fered plenty for years predicting that
Macdonald Smith would win one of the
two big open golf championships of
the world. Mac" has given Freddie
many thrill and many heartache,
but Freddie picked right one in Som
erville. Furthermore he picked him
early and stayed with him.
Among the experts gathered at Five
Farms there were many expressions OF
pleasure that Canadian had won the
championship. They seem to think it
will do American golf lot of good
to take it on the chin once in a while.
we Americans think We are invincible
in this golf game" seemed to be their
general thought. 1T won't do us big
amount of harm to lose championship
now and then"
