The "East Kent Gazette" of April 13 reports:—

London, April 13. The curtain is up for the golf season in earnest. All the leading amateur and professional players have been seen in action, and theities. heralds are busy telling us that On April 1 there were 457.20 on Wednesday, when Mr. Daniel Archie Compston and Walter Hagen are to play a series of three matches for £500 n-aide during the visit of the American professionals to Britain.

The original programme has had to be cancelled, but it is to be boped the matches do not fall through altogether.

A more interesting clash of per- sonalities and playing qualities than that provided by Hagen and Compston it would be difficult to imagine. As showmen of the links they are unequalled, especially in events of high importance.

There is nothing derogatory in Their attributes in this remark.

Hagen has been just the same en many occasions. He has turned forlorn positions into victory far more often than anybody else in modern golf,

On his inspired days he seems to be able to play any shot that is wanted when everything looks lost. What is more he expects to play it. If he needs to hole out from 150 yards, he has the pin removed. It is rather like getting ready for an innings at cricket by telling the scorer to put down 100 for a start; but it is his spirit, and it succeeds wondrously.
