IN COURSE (Ry Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News). L time, perhaps, the British players supremacy, and the stock-taking of out with some scarching of heart. In Charles Evans, jr.; Francis Oui- ‘met and Robert Jones it is recognized that the United States has three golf- erp of exceptional ability, and British critics freely admit that there is no anding group of players to op- pose them. this country by the arrival of Impress in Practice. The st d performance of the Ameri; actice at Hoylake has in p & conquered through his occasional pro ss to serious mis takes and how putting may be al fected by the rule which bars the put- ter be American amateur champio! possible mann if he is to be ip. Francis Ouimet's form in practice has attracted m notice, and it is erally admitted that he isun artis- ic_and_fi ed player. Ivery day Bobby Jones has been driving down the course with the accuracy of a French but he finds it extremely difficult to stop the dall on the green. Herein probably lies the greatest dan- ger of American failure. American layers must be at least a little handi- capped when playing over English seaside courses, because the distances are so much more difficult to judge, and nowhere more so than at Hoy: lake. Course Is Not Beautiful. It is not in the least a beautiful place and it is admittedly not every- 'Body’s course. At the majority of the and the slightest change of wind is sufficient to put the player at sea. 48 possible to stop few drives without getting into trouble, but the one thing By fhe Associated Press. I I OYLAKE, England, May 19— entrants played over the course. A tournament have been practicing re the form they have displayed has watched them daily. The absenec of British players, however. has made it difficult to glean any clear indication of the form which the home entrants are likely to show when the tournament begins. ‘The golf expert of the London Times has pointed out that the unusually easy conditions under which golf is being played here at present have. possibly, been responsible for the “slightly exaggerated opinion of the ttue vaiue and the capabilities of the | American goifers.” Minimizes Low Scores. Until recently the course suffered | from heavy rains and reports that| they were flooded were in circulation. but since the downpour ceased there has been a remarkable drought. The esult is that the grass is almost over- juxurious. while at the bottom of the urf is a stratum as hard as cement. “It is small wonder.” says the imes expert. “that under these con- itions many players have been mak- ing the course in six strokes less than hey could reasonably expect to chieve it. With a little more rain nd more wind, we shall, no doubt.} hear a different story.” The writer declares he is not in the least depressed after considering the | ualities of E. W. E. Holderness and | [Harry Braid with those of the best [American golfers here. He asserts it will be a “stout-hearted and very pro- ficient player who will shake off Cyril British amateur champion, next week. General opinion is that weather con- tinues the Americans will win, but that if Hoylake's characteristic squally and rainy conditions prevail Great Britain will have the better chance.

AT HOYLAKE the American golfers at Hoylake for For the first are genuinely in doubt about their their available talent is being carried needful is ability to get the ball into the air and stop it. The sand hills, generally speaking, do not_enter into the scheme of the | play. The course looks flat and ea; but the proof of its difficulties i the holding. For instance. who was bred on the course, has never felt quite certain that he could judge accurately the distance for the second shot to the twelfth green—usually about 120 yards over absolutely flat ground and a bad trap bevond it. Tt is a very delicate mat- ter this judging of distances: it is a thing of inspiration and it is the in- dispensable mark of a great golfer. Out of Bounds a Menace. Another serious danger to the player is the menace of out of bounds, which may occur not at one, but at many points. The putting greens are magnificent, but very fast, and after many fect have trampled around the holes take on glassy look that makes putting ticklish business. There is not where a friendly hum- mock can convert a bad shot into a good one, but as old Tom Morris said, “the game Is aye fechting ag'in yer." In the United States, where the greens are watered, it is comparative- v easy to toss the ball up and stop at Hoylake it is extremely diffi- it cult. ‘Then most ubiquitous of all hazards to de- feat the most confident prophets.

PARIS, May 19.—Members of the American team which will take part in the world hard-court tennis cham- pionship matches, to begin on May 28, are expected to arrive in France to- day or tomorrow.

" Lenglen. who has plaved throughout the season in southern Franoce with her usual brilllancy, shows no sign of letting up and thus far has carried everything befote her in her singles and doubles matches in | the Paris championship games. French tennis authorities expeét and hope that Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mal- lory of the American team will reach the challenge round in the intern: tional championship matches so that | she may meet Mlle Lenglen in the| women's singles, and that Tilden and Mrs. Mallory may face Mlle Lenglen at Hoylake between teams representing the United States and the United King- [dom. Experts agreed that Great Brit- in will have to put forward her strong- #st contingent of golfers to form a team worthy of meeting the visitors. The teams will be made up of eight men on each side. It is generally assumed that places on the home eight will be given to the amateur champion, Cyril Tolley, and E. W. E. Holderness, the latter of whom is one of the favorites for the coming championship, and M. W. Seymour, who recently won the Golf Illustrated gold vase.
