12 Best American Golfers Fail to Stop Invasion Ot Sta Mitchell’s Long-Range Driving a Revelation to Players in This Couniry—Why the Invader Missed Out in the National Chainpionship at Columbia. By Robert Edgren. George Duncan and Abe Mitchell, British professional golfers who are touring this country, hope to excel Vardon and Ray records of last year, which showed 80 per cent. of victories in special matches against American pros and amateurs. Duncan and Mitchell are even more brilliant in play than the Vardon- Ray combination. Az a long range driver Mitchell Is im a class by himself.

It is estimated that ac least 1,500 men will take part in the ten-day shoot, in which more than fifty events are scheduled to be shot The United States Navy and the Marine Corps teams are both here, and although it was first decided by the War Department not to have the infantry and cavalry tcams ticipate, the latest word fro’ ington is that they will come the shoot because of the practice whieh they wil the opening of the nti at Camp Perry, ( Most of the participate saree valuable y, Ob York, Colum the New Jersey t ams beng amon Hundreds of | Iso compete in the first to arrive individual cracks will a the Individual events OVER 1,500 TO COMPETE |B very good.

Dixie 1, owned by J. Schroeder of Jersey City, won the cup the following year, American representatives successfully defended the trophy the next five years. In 1912, on Huntington Bay, Long Island Sound, the cup went back to England and was retained in 1913. No races were held from that time until last year when Miss America owned by Gar Wood, won the contests, Elimination trials to pick America's representatives for the race will be| held the first of next month. It is practically a certainty, however, that Miss America and Miss America II, wil] be two of the boats selected to carry the Stars and Stripes in the big event, GOLF AN OLD MAN'S GAME?

When Miss Joy won the Flash Stakes at the Spa on the opening day, beating some crackerjack colts in- cluding Kai-Gang she was pro- claimed a speed marvel. When she came right back and dashed away from the best of fillles more praise was heaped on her. Beat Morvich? Why a sure thing. She showed every- thing Morvich had shown in his races, quick footed at the barrier and an ability to draw away to easing up victories. Those who have seen Mor- vich win six straight races at the metropolitan tracks concluded that here indeed was a filly capable of matching her racing qualities with the unbeaten son of Runnymede, Then came the United States Hotel Stakes, one of the feature events of the season at Saratoga. Both Morvich and Miss Joy were eligible. Their names appeared in the overnight en- tries and Saratoga set itself for a great battle of champions. Shortly before post time hope of such a thrilling struggle was blasted by the withdrawal of Miss Joy. Morvich went to the post and won the race after an exhibition of speed and gaméness only shown by a champion. He ran in almost the sime way as Miss Joy had run in the Flash and in. the chuylerville, and he drew away from Kal-Sang, which had previously run seoond to Miss Joy, very impressively. Those who only a few days previous ud piaced the championship crown on the head of Miss Joy began to change their opinion of her, Others withheld final judgment. On saturday last Morvich came out again in the SaratosA Special. He won just as he had shown the way in the United States Stake, only instead of breaking from behind Kai-Sang as he did previously, he went off in front with field all the way. In the stretch his rider, Keogh, found it necessary to wave his whip threateningly in front of Morvich's eyes al! through the final eighth, but the colt didn't seem in any danger of being beaten, Kai-Sang his fast stride and topped hts) “M-m-m-m, some smokel” | mont e 12 Cigarette —and for cigarettes Virginia tobacco is the best
