SCOTS GOLFERS LOSE ANNUAL MATCH TO ENGLISHMEN
London, July 2.
There was a rather depressing opening to the open champion- ship meeting which begins hero to-morrow when another 'one- sided contest between English and Scottish professionals, held on the links of the Royal St. George's, ended in the customary victory, of England.
It appears futile to play a match each yêne as the introduction to a great championship meeting the re- sult of which is almost a foregone conclusion. Scotland won the first match, played in 1903, by a single point. Since then England has never been beaten, and yesterday they won the foursomes by 4 matches to 1 with one halved, and the singles by 8 mat- chez to 5 with one halved.
Some of the golf was excellent-so good, in fact, that players who only equalled the scratch score of 76 did not have the slightest chance of win ning their matches, and scores more approximate to the record of 08 were necessary.
