...gravelly, bunch-grassed links of the Garden City Golf Club (L. I.) had been at two-ball foursomes. Francis Ouimet and Jess Guilford, Boston's representatives on the U. S. side, had executed their alternate strokes upon the same ball with skill consummate enough to subjugate ponderous Cyril Tolley, leader of the Britons, and his partner, Major Charles O. Hezlet. National Champion Max R. Marston, representing Philadelphia, and Robert Gardner, Chicagoan and U. S. captain, had subjugated W. A. Murray and E. F. Storey. Jess W. Sweetser, of Manhattan, and Harrison Johnston, of St. Paul, had beaten "Tony" Torrance...

He took the qualifying round with a 76 (3 strokes over a most difficult par), but bowed to T. A. ("Tony") Torrance, of Sandy Lodge, Eng., in his second match.

W. E. Holderness (British Amateur Champion, 1922 and 1924), Roger Wethered (British Amateur Champion, 1923), Robert Harris. Tolley's nine...
...Mamaroneck, N. Y., Cyril Walker, National Open Champion, and Joe Kirkwood, famed Australian freak-shot maker, gave golfdom cause for mild astonishment by failing to qualify for the Professional Golf Association Championship Tournament to be held at French Lick, Ind., Sept. 14 to 20. Fifteen district qualifying rounds were going on throughout the country to determine a field of 64 starters for this event. The Metropolitan District, for example, was allotted 14 places to fill and 150 applicants teed off for 36 holes at the Quaker Ridge Course. Low score...
Grand Duke Cyril, uncrowned Tsar of Russia, cousin of the late Nicholas, received a nasty jolt when he heard that an Anglo-Russian treaty had been signed (TIME, Aug. 18, COMMONWEALTH).
