HOW CHAMPIONS LOST IN BRITISH AMATEUR GOLF

SURPRISE DEFEATS IN GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP

BRITISH OPEN TOURNAMENT AT

ST. ANNES LAST MONTH

NOTED PLAYERS BOW TO INEVITABLE ON THE FIRST DAY

By Vagrant, at St. Annes

London, May 20.

Ross Somerville, John Woollam, Jack McLean, and Hector Thomson beaten in the first round! An astonish- ing day's play in the Amateur Championship which opened here to-day. The biggest surprise of all was very near this evening when the holder, Lawson Little, was taken to the 18th green by T. H. Parker, of Fairhaven, who, could he have holed one or two vital putts and taken his chances in the early stages, might have a much envied scalp to hang on his bag.

A lovely south-easterly wind was making the outward half a long .one. It was a wind that had not blown during practice and this, with tres

After good re- covery from a bunker at the first, he missed the first of a series of holenhle putts, which were to have a big bearing on the results. Little played a poor chip from the edge of the green, and a half in 4 start- ed a game which was always excit- ing to watch. Little went ant in 4, 5, 1, 5, 5, 4, 6, 5, 3, and was then one up, being fucky to hole a putt of 7 feet to win the 9th, the ball, of the line, cannoning in off his opponent's.

Omar, qualified for the third round of the Open Rinks Lawn Bowls Championship on the Club de Recreio green yesterday afternoon when they defeated a quartette from the Kowloon Cricket Club composed of H.
