Test Sure to Be in U. S.
Indications point to Harry Vardon's re
turn to American shores and links at a
time not far distant for what should
prove to be his supremo effort to wrest
from the liomebreds the open champion
ship of all America.
It may be noted that for the last four
ears tho title of open champion has
fallen to one who was born on native
soil. J. J. McDermott In 1011 and 18t3
made himself famous In this way. Fran
els Oulinet topped all past performances
of any land or cllmo In 1913, and last year
Walter Hasen kept the title from falling
Into the hands of those whose veins aie
tilled with what w,o consider more "golfing
blood." From the play down South so far
this year It Is correct to say Hint the
liomebreds have set the paco and it la
they who will make the haidest fight,
perhaps, for the topnotcli honor.
