Qualifying Rounds. Then there was the institution of the qualifying rounds. Were they a success? I should say Yes. The only criticism of them that I heard was over the blank day in between, and it would undoubtedly be batter if these two rounds could be played on the Friday and Saturday, instead of on Saturday and Monday..
It was lucky for us that we had a British final this year, and that Miss Orcutt did not survive her half of the draw, as it was patent to the most casual, observer that Miss Morgan was too much ex- hausted by the second half of the final to do herself justice, in spite of the fact that she had only twica been taken to the last hole mince the start of the International matches.
Next year there is to be the Bri- tish-American match in Britain; and without a doubt our visitors will remain to take part in the open championship.
Now or Never,
Are we going to learn our lesson, or are we going to walt until it is too late and we have allowed our friendly rivals a start that we can- not afford to give them?
The new champion, Miss Enid Wilson, must next; be reviewed. She has the distinction of being the first golfer after Miss Wethered to hold the title of Open and British champion at the same time.
Miss Wilson is hoping to go to America in the Autumn and com- pete in the American championship, and possibly also the Canadian. It she could secure both these events she would create a new record, and indeed there seems to be no reason why she should not do so as the change to the American ball does not, upset her game.
Although Miss Wilson has hardly been at her best during the present season, she played through the championship without a single bad round, while her golf in the first qualifying round and in the second half of the Anal in which her score was one under fours for twelve holes reached a standard of brilliance that was unbeatable...
Unfailingly Good,
Her putting, which has never been one of her strongest points," was unfailingly good, while she proved herself to be singularly adept at condensing three shots into two when near the green. She was extremely straight from the tee with her new driver this by the way, was steel shafted and con- siderably lighter and whippler than her old one-and though he was not going out to hit the ball an exceptional distance maintained a very good average

conventional and wearisomo by their static style.
One has only to study the mask
of Lyon to sce that he has the
spirit of adventure, and is not haunted by the spectre of defeat. "Nothing venture, nothing gain,” must be his creed.
How He Began. When he was at Queen's College,
Oxford, and before he became a "Blue," Lyon began his connection with Gloucester. That was in 1921, and he was only 19. His first century for his adopted county (he was born at Caterham) was 131 against Surrey in 1928. An apprenticeship of seven years he served before that brilliant hundred Ffired his ambition to transform bis
pastime into a passion.
With the captain's cap peaking out over his brows in 1929 he and scored over 1,000 runs
hit three centuries. Last season still more runs and five hundreds
two in one match. Last July he
hit his highest score-174. Respon- “sibility? Alfig for it. Be bold, ⠀
That is the dominant trait of his character. It is plainly indicated by that strong face with a power- ful jaw. Of. plodders there are plenty. Never in one of these! eight centuries was he amassing runs at the rate of 33 an hour. A century against Essex in 75 minutes had a Jessopian flavour. Mark 174 in 160 minutes at the wicket: On such demonstrations it is clear that he rose to the posi tion he accepted.

His cleverness is allied to en enthusiasm which inspires his team. His professionals believe in him and speak well of him. He studies his opponents to roll them. He is a shot-blocker and a captain who is all eyes. In his first sension as leader Gloucester ranked fourth and last year second.
