FOR GOLF TOPICS at the moment one must look to America, whore Jim Ferrior, famous amatour from Australia, is at present on tour, and who, incidentally, is the first of the overseas players to conform with the now regulations governing the American championships.
and
In former years the courtesy of the Americans allow- cd visiting players, if of sufficient renown, to enter the championships proper without their being obliged to play through the qualifying rounds. But, under recent legisla tion, no matter how excellent may be one's credentials, it' is necessary for all to play through the preliminary rounds,
Not that they mind! To the major titles-British Amateur
and American Amateur contrary, in fact. It has always Open

Gene Sarazon (1032), and Densmore cyan with such players as those Shute (1933).. comprising the visiting United Staten Walker and Ryder Cup teams they have had to play through the qualifying rounds of the British championships. "Quite right, too" is the general remark in Britain referring to the new order.
Consistently over the past decade ant more, British golfers have failed to get anywhere in the American Open, despite their omission of the preliminary rounds. And it is only since 1034 that they have been able to stave off the threats of the Amert can invaders at home. Twelve times during the 13 years period 1921-33 did the Americans take the British Open-ten titles in a row, and on all occasion hod the Americans qualify.

Walter Hagan, Gene Sarozen and Bobby Jones all had to go through it, and even when the American cham- ions had returned the following year to defend their titles they once again load to qualify.
Dut they did very well. Here is the list of the champions over that period:
"Tock" Hutchinson (1921), Walter lagan (1922), Walter Hagan (1924), Jhn Barnes (1925) Dobby Jones (1028), Bobby Jones (1927), Waiter Hanen (1923/29), Bobby Jones (1030, and also winner of the four world's

THUS, though Jim Ferrier has
been acclaimed by many as the world's finest amateur (now that Bobby Locke has turned professional), he had still to play through the qualifying rounds of this year's American Open.
Oddly enough, though Ferrier has achieved such recognition in the United States, little (very little) spure is given in the American news- papers in his matches over there.
Perhaps, American opinion is based on Ferrier's records from Australia. Last year, on consecutive days, be clipped three strokes off the course record at Sydney while winning the "champion of champions" touma- ment, and then bettered the record score at Bowral by four strokes in a round of 61.
He was in England in 1936, and reached the £nal of the British Amateur, losing to Hector Thomason by 2 down.

CADDIES' short-comings that
cause so much vituperation on the course are in most cases due to lack of tuition. Caddies with any intelligence and who hope to retain their jobs have only to be shown what to do to do it. But there are some who are habitually lazy and sloven.
It is in the direction of improve-i ment of caddie manners that the Pro- Fessional Golfers Association of America have drawn up charls of etiquette and have circulated them Jarnong the many Clubs in that coun- |try:

Conditions Of Boxing
LONDON, June 11 (Router). Should professional boxing be con- tinued on pre-war lines and run the risk of failure or should be adapted to the conditions brought about by the war?
This was the main tople of discus- alon when the Marquess of Queens- than berry, who has raised more
25.000 for the Red Cross with his | tournaments at Earl's Court, gave a press luncheon at which it was an- nounced that in future all the fights at his shows would be 'over aix rounds.
The Marquess pointed out that it was becoming increasingly dimcult to get really top-line boxers because the majority of them were in the fighting services. While it was possible to get men to appear it was not possible to guarantee that they would be fit enough for ten or twelve rounds of strenuous fighting.
LEAVE QUESTION CONTRARY to the general im- pression, no favours were shown to prominent sportsmen in the servicës, and a boxer could not get sufficient leave to: train for along contest. The question of getting leave was the subject of a long discussion. It was argued that footballers seemed to be able to play whenever they wished [ and appeared to more leave than
anybody NO FAVOURS
REPRESENTATIVES of the three servicts were present, however, and they assured the gathering that there were no favours. The paint made by each of them was that ift - was not possible to allow, a man leave for the two or three weeks necessary to train for a long Bghtru For six-round, conteste it was a different matterson?
