 In golf, there was a definite feeling here at the beginning of the season that Americas long sequence of nine victories in the Open. would be ended. The United States players continued to, show themselves the better golfers, but there were also signs that victory was harder, won than in the past. Americans Unlucky
 Britain won the Ryder Cup. be- tween teams of British and Ameri- can professionals, by the marrow margin of two-yard putt. It is generally conceded that the Americans were unlucky to lose the event, although if the question of luck is being discussed, Britain should have led on the foursomes | In the amateur championship the two favorites were George l Dunlap, Jr, the American Walker Cup player, and the Canadian Ross Somerville,g who took tho American open amateur title out of that country for the first time in many a year.
