You are not often directly interested in China is the Amateur Golf Championship. In fact, I think that on culy one previous occasion have you put a candidate forward ad that was two or three years ago when Mr. T. S. Forrest, the champion of Hongkong, played a round or two till he enconoterad Mr. Harold Hillon and got his quietus. This year, out of the record entry of 166 players, there were no fewer than four representatives of Asiatis clave in addition to two representatives from the United States. I am not sure that a fifth player should not be credited to Axis, for Mr. D. M. Brown, whe plays as is member of the Royal Isle of Wight Club, is, if I am not mistakon, identified with golf in the Straits Settlements The light of Asia did not shine very long. It was snuffed out in the early stages of the competition. Ferguson, jup., of Singapore, was badly beaten in the first round by that strong Irish inter. nationalist, Mr. II A. Boyd. Mr. I. S. 3. Moir, of Secunderabad, put up a better fight with Mr. W. B. Charles, of the Royal Liver pool, being only one hole down. In the second round, the two American representatives suc- combed. Mr. D. H. Burke, Delhi, sorataboul, and Mr. J. McMurtrie, of Shanghai, went down before Mr. W. H. Scarborough, of Bouti Herts, Mr. Scarborough plays at Totteridge, where to has the advantage of the tuition of THE ORGANIZATION OF A MODERN single line ahead had been proved and accepted Harry Vardon. Discussing McMurtrie's chances against him with a matual friend, I was told that Scarborough was "pretty hot stuff". MaMurtrie's long driving stood bim in good stead, but he was beaten by two holes. Scarborough was beaten in the following round by a Troon golfer. Is the day far distant when we shall see a real native from India or China earrying off the blue riband of amateur golf?
