BOYS' GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP CANCELLED
Another sports fixture which has been cancelled. is the Boys' Golf Cham- pionship, which was to have been played at Lytham the week of Aug- ust 26, writes a sports correspondent from
Home.
This event has always been an international affair. Last year the German boy champion, Frunz Gautire, was one of the com- petitors.
This fair-haired, 16-year-old- boy was always saying he re- fused to believe in the possibility of war, and when the cable from his father ordering his return to Germany was delivered to him on the course he said to the secre- tary of the meeting, "Must I go?"
I have heard his eyes filled with tears when told he had to obey his father. But I'm afraid I've lost all faith in that sort of story of German boys. It is true the boy was very popular over here.
The boy champion is Sandy Williamson, of Edinburgh, who now retains the title he would have been too old to defend. If we only knew what age he will .be when he ceases to be boy
champion!
