 London-(UP)-who are the worlds ten best golfers? It is difficult question to answer for the claims or professional and amateur players differ widely.
 Maybe a popular choice for the first eight and in order of prow- es, would be-: Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen, Gene sarazen. Jose Jura- do, Henry Cotton, Abe Mitchell, Denny shute, Cyril Tolley; but after that the selectors would be stuck for there is large number of flrst-class golfers. principally British and American, whose claims to the last two places are equal. Any one of the two Ryder Cup teams, representative of the best golf in both countries, could

 George Dunlap, the American Walker Cup player and Ross Somerville, American amateur champion, would be equally good selections. Jack Mclean, the young Scottish amateur, is prob ably the outstanding Britisher, but there are a number of pro- fessionals and amateurs hard on his heels.
 Perhaps Mclean and Johnny Goodman, because he won the American Open, could fill the ninth and tenth places.
 Jones, many think, picks him. self. Three years ago he was cer- tainly the best golfer in the world, and every list of world golfers would have started with his name. But Jones has given up serious golf now, and 1t is doubtful wheth- CT he could fill the position.
 On the other hand, Hagen, has always been, and still is a shining light in the golf world. Even al the age of AZ he is still to be
 Sarazen, in 1882, as winner of opens, was definitely the worlds best golfer. Gene had some bad breaks in this years British open. or hc might have carried it off again. Most people believe him the W0hV CSos avn pA"SS V" Ai time.
 TO some people, Jurado, the tiny Argentine champion, is a curious choice, and particularly to be so well-placed in the list. But that is because he is seldom seen outside his own country. When he does emerge he usually gives very good account of himself.
 Cotton still is the best British professional. He has tried hard to win the Open. but has never quite got there, although many predict that if anybody is to break the long sequence of American vic- tories 1t will be he.
 Abe Mitchell, one of the veter- ans who was winning tournaments us long ago as 1890, was regarded as a back-number, but the years seemed to have added to his brill lance. He struck the top of his form this year to gain inclusion in the Byitish Ryder Cup team.
 Denny Shute, another effortless fauitless golfer, gains inclusion in the select circle as winner of the British Open. Actually Shute is not star, many declare, for with out taking any merit from his win at St Andrews, 1t was his par ticular style of playing low irons that enabled him to turn in low score on the final round, when the gale that sprung up in the after noon blew everybody else's ball all over the place. Shute shoots part golf-and that alone earns him in- clusion.
 Tolley Is the best British ama- teur. One might also say he is the best American amateur, too, for the improvement in his style is due to a long sojourn in the United States, and style that is almost exclusively American. He was a leading amateur before he crossed the Atlantic, and a mem- Der of the Walker Cup team.
