Jock Hutchison won a trans planted St. Andrews Scot and he took the cup across the Atlantic to Glendale Chicago for the first time but it was the Start of Many trips since that Day 35 years ago. Roger Wethered British Amateur tied with Jock but he should actually have won As he called a stroke penalty on himself when he went to the brow of a Little Hill to get his line and in walking stepped on his Ball accidentally. No one saw the incident but Roger like the gentleman he always was called his penalty. Toronto Canadian sports Hall of Fame to perpetuate the memory of Canada s great ath letes was formally established Fri Day.

T a Wethered Victory coming from an Amateur would have had discouraging effects Era the yanks went wild on the British championships. You have some idea what has been happening since that Day Long ago in 1920 when the golfing gods decreed a British Amateur should not win the famous open although his on the americans in that but after Hutch won actual hitting score was the Roger s was never to come again and he Low of the Field. Roger s Chance did not come close to being win Ner of the open after that year. Wethered was twice in the final of the British Amateur the last being in 1930 when the fam Ous Bob Jones won his first and Only British Amateur title. We saw that final every stroke of the 30 holes played As wether de was downed Bobby 7 and 6. By the great if Conrad of California had not holed that 12-footer last saturday afternoon it is possible he would have lost the British Amateur As it would have been five holes he lost quickly. His game was falling apart. But he to be badly outclassed in the Are so be for below the knee win for the Sake unknown in Canada because we do not go in for snips Are our size and they Small it May As Well nothing. The overwhelming desire to win is Paramount also in the american make up whereas it is absent Here and elsewhere in Canada. Maybe we Are like the British in this respect but that nation has been taking it so hard the last few years Golf Wise they Are getting a bit fed up with losing and starting to kick . If they do it successfully it will be for the betterment of the pastime on the other Side. Competitive spirit should not be.
