LADY GOLFERS AT TROON.
[TROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. ]
EDINBURGH. May 27th...
The Scottish golf team at Westward Hot did not embark upon their contest against Enghind with any extravaganz hopes of success, and thair'defeat by eight matches to ve is no worse than was CX- pected in view of the difeulties that con fronted the selectors. The fauons Llevou- shire links has been the venue of the international match and of the Amateur Championship on only one former occasion (1912), and then as now Scottish,
Fullers were present in proportions much sailer than is their representation on any other Engish green, and not by any means comparable with the numbers who are available for selection when the inter National contest is dreided in Scotland It is not open to question that the best men who could be chosen were entrusted with the duty of upholding their country's Rag. but the English side, drawn from a wider range of available talent, cleanly proved the strengor, winning by the odd match in the five foursomes and then gaining also the singles by five matches to three. A miner consolation for the losers was the victory of their captain. Mr. Robert Harris, over Str Ernest ak derness, who led the English, side with alb the prestige, that belongs to the holder of the Amateur Championship. "England's success is their second in conscentive years, and while this fast may point to the turning of the tide, Scottish goilers hardly need to be reminded that their English rivals have a long way to travel before they gain the ascendancy the record of matches played Excluding the semi-official game of 1902 at Hoylake, Scotland hus wou on ta neensions, and last week's result brings, England's successes up to four.
LADIES GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP...
Miss Wethered is again the winner of the Ladies Open Golf Championship, and no one can dispute her supreme right to the title. But she had to fight hard for victory in the final day's play at Truon, the famous course on the Ayrshire const. and it was only at the 7th hole that she was able to shake off the plucky challenge of Miss Iciteh. Great as the play of "the victor was, it is open to argument if the perfomance of the loser Leitub's WAS not greater still. li attempt to wrest the laurels from her younger rival was hig-hearted effort.. If it had succeeded, it would have been regarded as a sensational achievement, and even with the match ending as it did, no praise is too high for the remarkable courage with which Miss Leitch fought every inch of the way. Whether Miss Wethered is a greater golfer than Miss Leitch was. at her best may be open to challenge certainly with all her wonder- ful skill Miss Wetbered is not any more dominant to-day than Miss Leitch was a dozen years ago but it will hardly he disputed that iss Wethered is supreme among women golfers at the present time. She has been at the top of her form in this year's Championship. In none of the earlier rounds was she seriously stretched, Before Miss Wethered's devastating and sustained brilliance Champions and ex Champions and quite ordinary players fell with equal inevitability: Miss Leitch's progress to the final, on the other hand, was strew with many misadventures, from which she was lucky to escape with- nur disaster. In each of her matches on. the second last day she was so bard pressed that she might easily have been beaten, and would have been beaten if her opponents had not been as variable as herself. But she struggled through; and in a final which will last long in the
