The match was over 72 holes for a stake of £750.

At the conclusion of the match, which Compston won 18 up and 17 to play, Hagen declared that he had played the worst golf of his life, adding "But when you are laid out good and flat you mustn't squawk."

Compston is perfect at the mo- ment and has issued a challenge to any golfer in the world for any stake.

Hetingványs that he has not sign- ed a definite contract with Mr. Tex Rickard to oppose Tunney, but it is understood that the arrangements for the contest were concluded after he sailed.. He hus, in any case, promised Mr. Rickard · to be. back in New York within a month, and there is, of course, no pros- pect that he will fight on this side. Asked how he regarded his chances with the champion, he re- plied: "Well, if I had, said 12 months ago that I would beat men like Johnny Risko and Jack Delaney, and draw with Sharkey, people would have thought me mad,

"Very few thought he would do so, much as put up a good show, yet he won with ease. I'm not foolish enough to declare that Tunney is as good as beaten already, but I shall give him a fight, whatever the result may be.

When told that there a auggestion that he should again fight Phil Scott, Heeney shook his head: He does not he lieve that he will be called on to appear in any more eliminating contests, nor does he think that there is much prospect of his fight with Tunney being held in London,

·As a matter of fact, Mr. Rickard was advised by one of his agents in London that both Wembley and the White City are out of the question. "But if Scott wants to fight me again," said Heeney, "ho'll have to come to my terms this time, I'll do the dictating.
