GOLF IN ENGLAND.
LEEDS TOURNAMENT. LONDON, May 18. R. Whitcombe, with 66, and Tom Green, the ex-Midlands champion, with 67, broke W. Hagen’s record of 69 for the Moortown golf course in the first qualifying round of tire Leeds, 1000 guineas tournament. Twine scored 69, Denny 70, Havers 72, Compston and Padgham 74, Cotton 75, Miyamoto, the Japanese, 76. Hagen cannot compete in the open championship as his entry was three days late.
DAZZLING RAIMENT. GOLFING APPAREL. Received May 19, 11.50 a.m. LONDON, May 18. Perhaps with an idea of dazzling his competitors, Cotton’s contribution to brighter golf at Moortown was a rosepink pullover, silver-grey trousers, a blue and yellow spotted cowboy scarf, black and white shoes ..and an old brown hat as a mascot.
