GOES T0 ARRISON VICTORY DESERVED, DIPERTS DECLAE Use Many Choice Adjectives in Lauding American’s Great Golf Play. By the Associated Press. ONDON, May 11.—Golfing experts found themselves &t a loss today for adjectivies in describing Walter Hagen's fourth victory in the British open champlonship. Although Britons generally had ex- pected after the Ryder Cup matches that some home-bred would halt the American invasion in the open. edi- torial comment was unanimous in ac- cepting Hagen's victory with good grace. The_experts, although having their difficulties with adequate words to tell the story of “The Haig's” well earned triumph, nevertheless got some help from “superb.” “magnificent.” ‘“amaz- ing.” “wonderful,” others. “Hage nthe wizard! ‘There is no other description to apply to this won- der golfer,” said Sporting Life. “The man is really unique. Adversity spurs him on and the more difficult his task the greater golf he plays.” | Praise His Comeback. | That he showed himself utterly un- perturbed by his defeat in fhe Ryder Cup matches was regarded by the writers as & special indlcation of his, greatness. | “The man who caz thus recover his nerve and his_confidence deserves to| win.” said the Express. | “The memory of his defeat in the | Ryder Cup matches in nowise dis- | turbed his serene confidence and the exhibition he gave stamps him as the | greatest exponent of the game now play- | ing.” the Telegraph agreed. | Paying tribute to his extraordinary | courage in bounding back after a bad defeat, the Times says: { “No reverse, it seems, can ruffie his equanimity or shake his nerve.” Such excerpts from editorial com- ment might be muitiplied, but it would be picking fruit out of a cake made all of plums. | There are some laments for Great | Britain's downfall.

Ehrlich Hufty, Town and Country Club Winner, Much Improved Golfer | TOWN AN BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. T begins to look like a Page Hufty year, insofar as this business of tournament golf is concerned. The splended young shotmaker from Congressional, who has won ‘his own club championship for the last three years, has resumed where he left © off last year and has stepped into \he} winning ~ groove again. Yesterday he | ' scored his first major victory of the current golf hysteria by winning the | Town and Country Club tournament, defeating in the final John C. Bhorey | of Bannockburn, 4 and 3, in 21 holes. | Shorey had the mateh in the bag on | the second extra hole, after narrowly missing & short putt on the nineteenth | that would have given him the victory. A putt of less than four feet stood between Shorey and his second victory in the Town and Country Club tourney | in three years. And as his bid for & winning four on the twentleth extra ! hole slid by the edge of the cup he must have realized that he wouldn't get & chance like that again. | A much improved Hufty won the tournament by a margin no bigger than a gnat's evelash. And in w=ning it is plain to be seen that Page, even though mechanically he is a far better golfer than he was last year, has yét to realise that a half, when a man is dormie is ¢s good as a win. For he took a wooden club on the fifteenth hole when an iron would have done as well, and & lengthy pltt enabled Shorey to win the hole after Hufty had missed a shot in the yielding sand furnished by Sam Leidy. Hufty outgolfed Harry G. Pitt, the midatlantic amateur title holder. to go into the final ‘tlinst Shorey, who had downed J. J. Lynch of Argyle in & ding-dong battle. Gets Big Lead. And then Hufty started out against Shorey by winning three of the first six holes. The index to what might have followed came on the 230-yard fifth, where Hufty poked & wooden club shot within 10 feet of the hole and knocked the ball in for a birdie 2.| Then at the long sixth he laid A nib-| lick shot well inside of Shorey’s splen- did effort and holed the puit to win with another birdie. His third consecu- | tive birdie came at the 300-yard sev-| enth, where Hufty holed a 15-footer for a 3, and the Congressional lad was 3 up. But an end had to come to this string of birdies, and it came on the short eighth, where Hufty exploded from the | sand within 3 feet of the hole and blew the putt for the half. Shorey also won the ninth with a par 4, when Hufty missed a 4-footer. Hufty looked like a certain winner when he won the first and fourth to become 4 up, with 5 to play. But the fireworks were to coms. holed one of 20 feet on the fourteenth, and then Hufty holed a 10-footer for a half in 3. Then Hufty, playing to get home in 2 at the fifteenth and fin- §h the match, put one in the bunker and lost the hole to a par 5. He blew a 3-footer at the sixteenth to finich the match, and Shorey took heart. Shorey knocked in a 25-footer at the short seventeenth to win, with & birdie 2, | of Tulane, will meet in the finals of the First, Shorey | Hufty canned a 5-footer to win on the twenty-first. . James Quinn of Georgetown won the second flight, defeating Thomas Pitt of Argyle on the nineteénth hole. third flight went to A. J, McCaffrey of Congressional, who beat the long-hitting Jack Wessels of Beaver Dam by 7 and 6 | in the final. Burke Edwards, son of the | indefatigable Russell T. Edwards of | Manor, annexed the fourth flight from ?ichnrd W. Westwood, whom he beat | and 3. | Mej. J. H. Hinemon conceded four strokes by Dr. W, B.
