AMERICAN GOLF PLAYERS LOSING ACCOUNT STORMS HUNSTANTON, England, May 16.—Inability to cope with the English spring weather, now at its worst, of rain, hail and cold, Mabel Wragg, of Yorkshire, has removed Miss Collett from the British Open Golf Championship “in the fourth round. The Ameri- can girl’s ambition to take the trophy was shattered when she lost 3 and 2. Storms also swept Miss Elizabeth Curtis, of Clin- ton, owa, and Mrs. Stewart Han- ley, of Detroit, out of the cham- picnship, leaving Mrs. Dorothy Hurd, of Philadelphia, but born in Britain, as the lone American challenger. By ALAN J. GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, May 16—For all the shouting there has been about the decadence of American long distance running talent it remain a fact that Uncle Sam’s entrie have done as well, if not better than those of any other nation in the classic Olympic Marathon. Finland’s two triumphs since the war, by Kolehmainen in 1920 at Antwerp and Stenroos, the cabinet maker, in 1924 at Paris, are fresher in mind but over the| long stretch of Olympic rivalry| America has given a good account of herself and promises to do go again this summer at Amsterdam, with Joie Ray and Clarence De Mar leading the pack. Finland and America are the only nations to+ produce more than one Marathon king. The Yankee triumphs of Hicks at St. Louis in 1904 and 19-year-old Johnny Hayes at London in 1908 match the sterling victories of the Finns in the last two Olym- piads. On three other oecasions in the games of 1906, 1912 and 1924 the United States finished no worse than third. Three of the first four in 1908 were Yankees.
