Some Comment From

Father Time

WHO BEATS HIS OWN AGE ON THE GOLF COURSE

London, July 5. From behind a bristling white moustache and keen old eyes, James Braid surveyed the American delegation to the British Open Golf championship last week.

"They work too hard at it." said the 78-year-old gentleman who won the open title five times between 1901 and 1919.

Braid is probably the only man in the world who cau- beat his own age on the golf course he is certainly the only man in England who can do, s-as he shot 77 at Muirfield only a few weeks ago.

COUNTY CRICKET

SURREY COLLAPSE FOR 42

YORKSHIRE AGAINST

London, July 5.-The first class cricket matches today provided an amazing contrast in batting fortunes. While the Australians scored the season's highest total of 774 for seven, Surrey were in such a plight against Yorkshire at Sheffield that they collapsed for 42, the lowest total so far this summer, and lost by an innings.

Surrey's troubles came on a rain affected pitch on which the pace bowlers, Coxon, dropped by the Test selec- turs yesterday, and Aspinall, were in their elements. In unchanged spells of howling. their first innings figures Coxon-11 overs, three maidens, 17 runs and sig wickets, and Aspinall-115 overs, one maiden, 23 runs and three wickets.
