WIN SINGLES

WALES OUTPLAYED BY SCOTTISH REPRESENTATIVES

IN INTERNATIONAL TOURNAMENT AT ST. ANNES

BY VAGRANT

Royal Lytham and St. Annes, Aug. 8. England, after being led by three matches to one in the foursomes, scored a notable victory here yesterday, winning seven of the singles for a 81⁄2 to 61⁄2 grand total. Scotland made an ominous start from the viewpoint of the other three countries by a 10% to 41⁄2 victory over Wales, in which they never at any point looked more than the triumphant pipers calling the tune.
