Youngest Walker Cup
Team in History Soils

For j. 5.
By LESTER RICE

NEW YORK, May 10 Q.NS0.
Eight young men, composing the
youngest Walker CUP team Uncle
Sam ever sent to Britain, fretted
the hours aWav today as they
waited for the S. s. Bremen to
push her prov into the black At
lantic at midnight.
The ninth man Of the sailing
party, Capt. Francis Ouimet, was
placid and patient in comparison.

ing as q Walker cupper, and al
though he had no intention OF
relinquishing his passive role OF
nonplaying leader and intruding
himself into the matches, he was
looking forward to the British
amateur championship at Troon
with zestful anticipation.
ONE TITLE TO WIN
That's one title he has yet to
win and he feels that II it Is ever
to 60 among the many trophies
he has embraced since he beat
Vardon and Ray at Brookline Is
years ago there perhaps will never
be another time like the present.
Captain Ouimet, ever the optim.
ist, saw nothing but victory ahead
for his charges.
There was no doubt that he
meant it, but he seemed to have
the idea that success this time
would not be the simple thing te
had become in the last six Of the
ten walker Cup brushes.
MUCH STRONGER
"I think we are much stronger
then we were when We last
went to st. Andrews" he said,
referring to the 1884 team that
trounced the British by 9 points
to 2, "but I've been told our
friends overseas are very much
stronger"
Ouimet has been in coEnmuni'
cation with Tony Torrance, and
the man who captained the Brit
ish side in 1882 has been telling
him that England in her desire
to win, has finally abandoned the
idea Of choosing only social blue
bloodS.

ling announced today, in prac-
tically so many words, that If he

June 20, he won't retire with the
title to Germany - because he
can't.
He must have money-big
money-he says. It costs him
100000 a year to live.
"And how you get that, retir-
ing?" he wound up, triumphant
ly. In his quaint English he was
trying to express the idea that
the title Is a very fine honor and
he wants it more than any other
thing that life can gve. But
maybe he's little narrow.ninded,

must hat the nest egg before I
think of retiring. So, I fight
Louis for the title in June; then
I defend it here against Max
Baer, oder the best oponent,
here IN September. After that, I
make other fights, too."
For obvious reasons, he was
adroitly lodging the money ques-
ton but just as obviously this was
in his mind: That he will get the
short end Of a million dollars
against Louis; whereas, If he wins,
he'll get the long end Of possibly
two million dollars against Baer.
He hasn't the least doubt that he
can and will beat both, although
Baer knocked him out five years
ago.
However, Louis knocked out
Baer - and Schmeling knocked
out Louis-and besides, he never
did believe" that Baer business.
But what was this the reporters
managed to make him say on
the ship about demanding a
rubber" match with Louis in
September, If the latter wins the
June fight? Did that mean that
he thought Louis might win the
June fight, after all? He smiled,

He nodded, as though comfort

certain of one thing: They may
beat him out Of his wits. But
they'll never scare him out of them.
