An American Year?

British links will soon be overflowing with American golfers. Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen, and Charlie Hoffner have sailed to play for the open championship at Troon. Jim Barnes, Leo Diegel and Jack Hutchinson have booked early passage.

While on the water the invading professionals heard by radio how Francis Ouimet of Boston defeated Dr. 0. F. Willing, of Portland, Ore., in the play-off of the final for the St. George's Cup at Sandwich.

Said Hagen: " It looks like an American year."
