BRITISH GOLF TOURNAMENT
IRISH PLAYER REACHES QUARTER-FINAL LONDON. May 25. After American golfers had dominated the British amateur golf championship at St. Andrews to-day, Joe Carr, dreland’s Walker Cup player, beat the American Bill Campbell on the nineteenth green to enter the quarter-finals. Campbell had previously won a nineteen-hole victory over the British title-holder, Sam McCready. Three of the Americans’ leading amateurs, Dick Chapman. Frank Stranahan, and Jimmy McHale (a former professional), both reached the quarter-finals and odds seem strongly in favour of the championship going back to America. Among the five Britons in the quarter-finals is Cyril Tolley, aged 54, twice winner of the title. Carr had two good wins to-day. In the fifth round he beat the present English amateur title-holder, J. D. Langley, 2 and 1. Other Britons in the quarter-finals are D. Cameron, P. Tait, and A. B. Taylor.
