KIBKWOOD'S FUTURE. LONDON, October 22. The "Westminster Gazette," in an interesting review of the golfing tournaments of 1921, from April to September, tabulates the aggregates and ftverag'b cf the leading playcra, •electing those who haw played 15 rounds or more, and whose respective averages are below 77. In such touirnnicnts Kirkwood head 3 the list with 15 round*, ai' aggregate of 1112, and en average of 74 2-IZ. Havers is next with 21 rounds, an aggregate <:f' 1557, and an average of 7-1 1-7, followed by Ray, Mitchell, Ockenden.* Leach, Mossy, and other*. Th? "Westminster Gazette" says that Kirkwood has fully *arned the right to be claea?d among the leading ten golfers of the world bv his magnificent golf at Oxley and G.cneigles, but. unfortunately, he. was opposed to tho brilliant and irresistible Mitchell. A feature of his games was the deadly accuracy of his iron shots, while his putting was a joy to behold. A great future is prophesied for Kirkwood, who will very likeiy become the British open champion within two or three years.
