In former years the courtesy of the Americans allow- ed visiting players, if of sufficient renown, to enter the championships proper without their being obliged to play through the qualifying rounds. But, under recent legisla- tion, no matter how excellent may be one's credentials, it is necessary for all to play through the preliminary rounds.

Not that they mind! To the contrary, in fact. It has always been the case in Britain that even with such players as those comprising the visiting United Staten Walker and Ryder Cup teams they have had to play through the qualifying rounds of the British championships.

Walter Hagan, Gene Sarazen and Bobby Jones all had to go through it, and even when the American cham pions had returned the following year to defend their titles they once again had to quality.

But they did very well. Here is the list of the champions over that period:

on Ferrier's records from Australia. Last year, on consecutive days, he. clipped three strokes off the course record at Sydney while winning the "champion of champions" tourna ment, and then beltered the record score at Bowral by four strokes in a round of 61.

He was in England in 1930, and renched the final of the British Amateur, losing to Hector Thomson
