BOBBY LOCKE A NATURAL
FAVOURITE FOR BRITISH OPEN GOLF TITLE
Bobby Locks
Sandwich, Kent, July 3.––With Wimbledon and Henley now but a memory until next year, the British sport feast of-recent weeks continues tomorrow with the Open Golf Championship here.
Once again there are many Overseas' players anxious to take the title from the British Isles, but there are far more Ilome players equally anxious to keep it here.
Nevertheless, Bobby Locke, of South Africa, whose displays in America In recent years have been so brilliant, Is a natural favourite. Ho has tried for the British title before without success, but no player has ever been such a hot favourite as Locke is this year.

Against this spearhead of the Overseas' challenge will be ar- rayed the cream of British golf without Henry Cotton.
He did not enter to defend the title which he won for the third time last year, but with- out mentioning names it can be mald that all other British players of note will be striving for the honours, some, sich an Dlek Durlon, Fred Daly and Alf Padgham, for a second victory.

If the winner is not yet a certainty, one thing does appear certain and that is a record oggregato winning score will be set up.

That Compton Benefit
Controversy Again
Denis Compton's Benefit continues to be the main topic of controversy in cricket circles, and conversa- tion in sporting clrcles generally. Is it right, some say, that he should get a suggested £20,000 tax free, while his brother professional footballers receive only £750 and have to pay tax on it?
On the other hand, the committee who are organising Denis's benefit are complaining that it has been over-publicised, and as a result, the money is not coming in as well as expected. They even hint that it will not approach the £14,000 received by Cyril Washbrook last season,

Although he won't come out and say so, the international wrangling behind the scenes of this world athletic extravaganza, apparently is becoming increas- ingly bitter with politics mixing freely with sports.

As things stand now, Brundage expects to relinquish his Presidency of the U.S. Olympic Association but remain active in the Olympic setup as a member of the International Olymple Committee.
His current project is an attempt to streamline the Olympic programme but you don't just walk in and say this sport is eliminated or that one is to be curtailed.

Belgrado, July 3- Marshal Tito's three- -year old golding "Robot" won the 27th running of the Yugo- slav Derby today before a crowd of 6,000 in a raco described as hav- ing special social signi- fleance.
Robot won easily by two lengths in a 10- horse fleld, of which only two were privately- owned.
