ÄÄA CHAMPIONSHIPS

- BY ARCHIE QUICK

The most pleasing feature of the AAA Championships at the White City on Saturday, July 16, was that in many cases times and distances compared favourably with those returned at the recent Army and the Combined. Services championships. The Army too, with serving and ex-serving members, also showed up well at this national meet.

The event lost quite a lot of its colour through the withdrawal of Garay, the Hungarian Mile record- holder, Douglas Harris, brilliant New Zealand half-miler, and our own Olympic champion, Arthur Wint, in the quarter-mile-all through Injury. What an unlucky man Harris is-first of all being spiked in the Olympic He would almost certainly have 800 Metres final and now losing his outstanding chance in the AAA event.

Row Between PGA &

The Royal & Ancient?

By ARCHIE QUICK

There is going to be an almighty row between tho Professional Golfers' Association and the' Royal and An- clent Club over the reduction of the Open Championship field at Sandwich on the final day to 31 players instead of the announced 40.

The nearest number that could be admitted to the final two rounds on scores without play-off on the Thurs- day night was 41. As there was a difference of 10 shots In two of finalist's Harry Bradshaw's rounds, some of those left out seemed to havo a justifiable complaint when they say that it was not impossible, if unlikely, for them to have overhauled the lenders.

Then there is the incident of Alfred Padgham being barred from the Royal George's Club- house, together with any other professional who might have tried to get in, whilst amateurs were automatically admitted.

The Open next year, by tho way, has been fixed for Troone, Ayreshire, while the British Amateur is to go to St Andrew's Bobby Locke, favourite, who won so easily at his sixth at- empt at Sandwich, told me he plans to retire in two years' time.
