AMERICANS WIN It.

Bounces a Wild Shot OFF

BY ALAN GOULD,

~ RooKLINE, Mass. September 3.
K The British left physical
mark on the classic Walker
Cup, the result of wild shot
by their only. winner, besides proving
they can "take it" and still come back
fighting, but otherwise today they were
still far short of menacing American
golf supremacy.
Captained by the veteran and ma
ticnal amateur champion, Francis Oui-
met, q team of youngsters, ranging In
years from 30 to IS, sustained the
United States unbroken winning streak
in the international competition. The
Americans won out of II matches,
lost one and llalved three others. a
new record for deadlocks in Walker Cup
play,
CEORGE T. DUNLAY, Jr, and
~ Maurice J. Mccarthy. jr., both of
New York; Charley Seaver of Los
Angeles and Gus Moreland of Dallas,
all doing double duty, as well as the
rising young Virginian, Billy Howell,
dominated the two-day conflict.
The freshmen" figured in seven OF
the eight triumphs, Dunlap, Seaver and
Moreland each turning in two winning
performances. Dunlap stood 10 up on
Eric McRuvie at the end OF the first
round of their singles match. The New
Yorker registered &c, five under par
for the Country Clubs layout
LIE bettered the course record and
i i set new low mark for Walker
Cup competition, even with a few
conceded puts. He went on to defeat
McRuvie, 10 and 9.
Britain's lone victory was scored by
the English schoolmaster, Leonard
Crawley, over the veteran George Voigt
of New York, l up on the 36th hole.
Crawley also starred in the events odd
est incident when he delivered the shot
that bounced off the Walker Cup itself,
all shined up in public view just off the
eighteenth green. The ball nicked a
handle of the huge silver trophy and
caromed into a road. The shot cost
the Briton the hole, too.
CEAVER and Moreland, who scored
- one of the biggest upsets of the
series by trouncing Capt. Tony Tor
rance and Champion Johnny de Forest
of the British forces, came through

Los Angeles youth overwhelmed Eric
Fiddian, his 22-year-old rival, 7 and 6,
while the Texas star overcame the stout
resistance of Rex Hartley, 2 and /.
Mccarthy captured his only start, in
the singles, by beating Lister Hartley,
3 and 2, with great finish. Howell,
playing only in the Scotch foursome,
helped the youthful Don Moe, mem
ber of the 1880 team, contribute another
victory.
The performances of these young
sters, not only was contrast to the
veterans but indicated they are ripe
for a battle royal in the forthcoming
chase after the United States anna
teur championship. starting Septem-
Der IL at Baltimore.
Capt. Ouimet, who will defend the
national championship a fortnight
hence, had the honor Of making the
Walker Cup safe for America for the
seventh time, even though he had to be
satisfied to halve his match with the
rival British leader, T. A. (Tony) Tor
rance, the Scotch dentist.
The British threatened with white
washing" salyaged some prestige by
their gallant finish. Slugging John
Stout, four down at the twenty-seventh,
then pulled up to finish all even with
Jesse SWeetser, and John Burke'S great
rally in taking the last three holes en-
ables him to wind up deadlocked with
Jack Westland of Chicago.
