Keep Golf Title

Cotton's

Bet For

Considered Best Championship

London.

With the opening of a crowded golf season, the British are looking to one of their stars to keep the major title, the British Open Championship, in this country,

After 10 successive years of United States' victories, the title was won back

in 1934 by Henry Cotton. Alfred Perry kept it here last year.

These two are among the half-dozen who are expected to provide the van- guard of the British defence at Hoylake, Cheshire, June 22-26. Others include Per- cy Alliss, Alfred Padgham, the three Whitcombe brothers, Charles, Ernest and Reginald, and W. J. Cox.

The last time the championship was played at Hoylake was in 1930, when Bobby Jones annexed it as one of the four major titles he acquired that year for an all-time record.

Of the seven British players men. { tioned, Cotton is given the best chance of winning-na he has been given for the last five years. Cotton is an "automatic" golfer, always try- Ing new wings, styles and stances. He learned his golf by practising for;

Cotton would not enter any com petitions last year so that he might concentrate on the Open. This year he has entered every tournament and again has altered his style.

He is said to be a vastly improved player not only as regards shot pro- duction but in the matter of tempera- ment In the last six months he has lengthened his swing, and effected a radical change in his pulting style. Tries New Swings

Cotton always had a three-quarter swing, and although he still stops before the club is horizontal, he has lengthened the swing appreciably. The effect is mare pleasing and pro-i duces better results. Hitherto pul- ting has been Cotton's chief weak- ness, He has experimented with every known dodge, except standing on his head, as Walter Hagen once suggested to Leo Diegel as an alter native to Diegel's fantastic army nkimbo style.
