SCOTS GOLFERS LOSE ANNUAL MATCH TO ENGLISHMEN

London, July 2.

There was a rather depressing opening to the open champion- ship meeting which begins here to-morrow when another one- sided contest between English and Scottish professionals, held on the links of the Royal St. George's, ended in the customary victory of England.

It appears futile to play a match ench year as the introduction to a great championship meeting the re- sult of which is almost n foregone conclusion. Scotland won the Brat match, played in 1903, by a single point. Since then England has never been besten, and yesterday they won the foursomes by 4 matches to i with one halved, and the singles by 6 mal.
