GOLFERS "NEVER AGAIN.".
FUTURE CHAMPIONSHIP YENUES DISCUSSED.
wwww
the
The deplorable scenes which were wit nossed during the play in the Soal match in the Golf Championship at Prestwick recently, when hordes of spectators rushed about the course, and greatly impeded the players, particular- ly Macdonald Smith, the runner-up, gave rise to the following article by the golf correspondent of Keening Standard
"Never again naust the championship be played at Peostwick." That is what the professional golfer says, and his. complaints about the behaviour of the crowd who swept over the links and turned it into a huge pienic ground are no less bitter than those of Macdonald Smith, who insists that he would have weh beyond all doubt it he had been given a fair chance.

TO-DAY.
TOURNAMENT
With a pile of rackets hemped up in a corner of their saloon, four of England's best women lawn tennis players left. Euston by the special boat brain ut 8,30 a.m. on July 10th for Liverpool, where they embarked on the Chaard liner dunia for Lanaila,
They were Mrs. Lambert Chambers, Miss McKane, Miss Marlyn Colyer, and Miss Harvey, and they were going to America to battle for the Wightman Cap today and to-morrow.
Miss Joan, Fry, who completed the side, travelled direct & Liverpool trour her home in Staffordshim.

Accompanying the party were MT. "J. Arthur Batley, manager of the team, and Mr. Lammert Chambres.
A large party of friends assembled at the station to see the players off.
• SKIPPER ON THE PROSPECTS.
Macdonald Smith was not the only player to sufer. 1 met George Dunean an one of his early- rounds and he exclaim- Mrs. Lambert Chambers, the captain ed.

On the second afternoon I came across two players with their callies and marker lying down on the grass, and they told me that they had bern unable to continue for over ten minutes. by "the Macdonald Smith gallery golog to the fourth.
NEARLY A FIASCU
Under the conditions
wih ber it realised that for many men the golf was farcical. Indeed, the championship was very near to being a Baseo. There were two or thres lucky competitors, and. siguißenntly enough, they included not only Jim Barnes, the winner, but both Compston and Ray, who finished equal second, Barnes was first away on the murning of the second day, and he set forth at eight o'clock with no more than a handful of followers. Immediately be- hind him wäs Compaton, and soon after came Bay. There were not more than hundred people with Barnes during the whole round.
We shall be a fortnight in Canada, playing at Quebec, Toronto, and Mon- treat, and shall have a fortnight in New York in which to prhetime:""
When asked if the bam was doing any special training while crossing the At lantic, Mrs Chambers said, "We shall use the ship's gymnazium and go in for skipping."

THAT FORMIDABLE "America has a very strong tean," Mrs. Chambers remarked, 3 but we heat then easily over here, and if we can only overcome the conditions on the other sile, there is no reason why we should not. win.'
Mr. Batley, the team manager, when ¦ naked what he thought of the chances. said: --
I think we ought to do well. Of ours, the Americans are difficult pro position in their own country, but it we can surmount the difficulties of playing in a foreign country, with foreign balls, before a foreign audience, then I that we shall have a jolly good chance.
"THE OPPORTUNISTS.
FRENCH AND ITALIAN TRADERS' VENTURE..
He was similarly fortunate in the final round, for the train loads of Glas- gow excursionists had gone out with Antriatic New. Serrier message from facdonald Smith, and when he started Peking, dated August 4th, states that, again they had not returned or were taking advantage of the anti-British eating their lunch on the hill sides. The boyenit, some French and Italian mer. result was that Barnes had another com chants in conjunction with Chinese have paratively smooth passage, as did Coinp-organized a Chunghua Tobacco Co. ston and Ray,,
For the encouragement of Chinese in Barnes seemed to read the position; dustry, the Ministry of Agriculture add correctly. He had holed the inst patt Commerce and also the Government Wine long before Macdonald Smith began, his and Tobacco Bureau have jointly con fourth round, and though the latter retributed the sum of half of a million quired to do no better than 78 to cap ture the prize, Barnes was, surely confident that he had at last achieved his highest golfing wbition. Indeed, he declared that he did not think that his rival, would be able to break 80.
I admit that I was mystified by
The Nanyang Brothers Tobneen Com- Barnes calcalation. T. did not think pany is not doing well because it has Macdonald Smith would be seriously laser sccused of being a Japanese con. affected by the crowd, because I estimmteren by the student organizations. ed that it was no bigger than on the previous day. when he returned a won derful score
of 69. knocking three strokes off the record for the course,
To me there was only one possible way in which Mudonald "Smith could fail. With his lend of five strokes there was the danges that he might play for safety. and when a player does not go boldly for the shots they are very liable to slip: away in alarining fashion.
I believe Macdonald Smith would have been-better placed if he hul been one or even two strokes behind Barnes in- stead of fise in front. He would then have had to fight,, whereas his chief aim was to preserve his lead, and to do this 'is one of the hardest feats in golf. "But whilst making full, allowager for any tempernmental weakness it, is true that Macdonald Smith had a dreadful "ex- perience, and to a highly sensitive man the strain of battling with the crowd was unbearable.
THE SOLUTION.
From this point the championship was spoilt, and there is justification for say- ing that the championship must not be played at Prestwick' again. It should not be possible for any man to say with such good grounds as Macdonald Smith that he had not a fair" chance of win? ning.
What is the solution? 1 believe the authorities will be driven to playing the champiduship on an inland course where. the admission of the public can be re- gulated. Nowhere, of course, is the test so thorough as ni the seaside, but alinost without exception seaside links are ope to the public.
The conditions are always far worse in Scotland: than in England. Even ab St. Andrews they are bad, and the pros pects of the amateurs at Muirfeld next year, are not happy,
The alternative is to take the event far off the beaten track-to Westward Ho! or. Sandwich-but this cunpot be, done every year, and it is for this reason that I think we shall see the champion- |ship decided at a private inland club.
