BRITONS LEADING IN OPEN GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP

COTTON FOUR STROKES BEHIND THE LEADERS

Five Players Shoot First Round Of 70

Sandwich, July 6.

Henry Cotton finished four strokes behind the leaders at the end of the first round in the British open golf championship here to-day, returning a card of 74-a some- what disappointing effort by the holder who is favoured to retain his title.

Ernest Whitcombe, Dallemagne, James Bruen, 17 year-old Walker Cupper, Cox of Wimbledon, and J. Fallon led the field, each hitting a fine 70.

Alfred Perry, Bert Gadd (one of the veterans of the game) J. J. Busson, Charles Whitcombe, Reginald Whit- combe, and Richard Burton returned cards of 71.

S. B. Roberts from Wales, French of West Surrey, and Jack McClean of Sutton each shot a 72.

Dailey of Swansea and Dai Rees returned cards of 73. Henry Cotton, Alfred Padgham, Sam King, the veteran James Braid, Arthur Lacey and J. Pennink, the English cham- pion, could only obtain scores of 74,

A championship record was equalled by the prominent Aus- tralian amateur player, McKay, when he took fourteen strokes at the 14th hole, finishing the round with an aggregate of 87.

Who Will Stand Down?

(By "It. Abbit")

There are four new names among the list of thirteen cricketers who have been selected to stand by ht

Manchester for the Third Test to- morrow, and 1 don't think anyone will disagree with the statement that they are rather unexpected, at all

events to the cricket enthusiast out here. They are Nichols (nged 38), Goddard (38), Smiles (20) and Gibb (25).

There is one very clear fact stand- ing out and that is that the Selertors have shown themselves quite sutis fled with the English butting.
