ENGLISH GOLF.
LANGLEY DEFEATED. Press Association—Copyright. London, May 2. In the final of the English amateur golf championship H. Bentley beat the 18 years old John Langley, holder of the boys' championship, 5 up and 4. Bentley and Langley were all square at the eighteenth, after which the older player's experience, most accurate putting and amazing bunker shots made him unbeatable. Langley defeated in the semi-final Cyril Tolley, winner of almost as many championships as his opponent had years, in one of the finest championship matches seen. Tolley was four down at the fourteenth and won the next three, but Langley putted imperturbably at the 18th, halving the hole. Bentley, a Walker Cup player and former holder of the French and German championships, in the other' semi-final defeated C. Stowe, a coal miner who earlier defeated J. De Forest, son of the millionaire.
