HOYLAKE, May 26. (By Associat
ed Press.) The Royal and Ancient
club rules committee, at a meeting
here today decided to bar ribbed or
Blotted clubs In use by American golf
ers. The decision will not become effec
tive until after the open championship
which begins June 20.
The two semi-final matches were
singularly unlike. The Tubbs-Graham
match was a very poor display of golf,
neither of the men at any stage play
ing up to his reputation.
The Hunter-Darwin match, on the
other hand was a very fine contest.
Hunter's victory makes him the favor
ite for the finals.
HOYLAKE, May 2G. (Dy Associat
ed Press.) Allan Graham, Hoyal Liver
pool, and W. I. Hunter of Walmer and
Kingsdown, will compete in the finals
tomorrow for the British amateur golf
championship at 3G holes.
Bernard Darwin of Woking, who
eliminated Frederick J. Wright of Bos
ton went down to defeat nt the hands
of Hunter by 3 tip and 2 to play in the
semi-finals, Hunter thus advancing to
the final round.
Graham also advanced to the final
by beating H. S. B. Tubbs of Sunnlng
dalq by one hole in the other semi
final match. v
HOYLAKE, May 2G. (By Associat
ed Press.) The United States was
forced out of the British amateur golf
championship at the end of the sixth
round this afternoon when Frederick
J. Wright of Boston, sole survivor of
the American entrants, was defeated
by Bernard Darwin of Woking in a
sensational finish on the nineteenth
green.
The. match was played under unfa
vorable weather conditions, a light
lain falling and a northeast wind blow
ing over the course.
Wright's play was brilliant in the
first half of the match and toward its
close, when he won the eighteenth
hole nfter Darwin had become dormie
on the seventeenth. At the nineteenth
however, the American badly topped
his tee shot and failed a later chance
to redeem himself by underplaying a
short putt.
Commenting on the match Wright
said that he did not blame the winil or
cold for his defeat but that he had
gone down playing tho best golf of
which ho was capable.

President Harding Has Dinner
With J. P. Morgan, Paul
Warburg and Other Leading
U. S. Financiers Aid to
Europe Imperative.
WASHINTON, May 26. Tho ad
ministration's policy of promoting ex
portation as a ineuns toward restora
tion of normal business conditions
was discussed nt n Whito House din
ner here last night attended by Secre
taries Mellon and Hoover, J. P. Mor
gan, Paul Warburg and a number of
other prominent financiers. Presi
dent 'Harding was said to have talked
over the whole subject witli his
guests.
The, dinner was quietly arranged
and no word of it made public until
today.
It was understood that while no
hard and fast program was decided
upon, that the discussion served to
cement the belief of administration
officials that one of the best remedial
measures available, would be active
co-operation between tile government
and business men for revival of ex
port trade.
Aid Kurnpc Revival.
It was also indicated that tho ad
ministration policy would turn toward
some sort of aid for tho financial
situation in Europe ns a pnrt of the
effort for general world stability.
The dinner is expected to have an
echo in numorous conferences in the
near future between the president and
other financial leaders.
Others attending the dinner were
James A. Alexander of the National
Bank of Commerce and Charles A.
Snbin of the Guaranty Trust com
pany, New York, and II. C. McEl
downey, Union Trust company, Pitts
burg. It Is understood that one of the
president's chief purposes in calling
tho financiers Into conference was to
discuss the contemplated loan of
American private capital to foreign
governments and the effect of such a
loan on the resumption of normal In
dustrial conditions at homo and in
tho American export trade. Presi
dent Harding is said to have lnid be
fore his guests an offer to do every
thing practicable to co-operate for
the relief of economic conditions,
while the bankers live said to have re
plied with expressions of willingness
to work in close conjunction with the
administration.
Most of those present are under
stood to have argued emphatically
that the surest way to promote ex
port trade would be by helping
actively in he rehabilitation of Kuro
penn finances, it Is said to have been
suggested that American products
could be sold In many parts of the
old world only It American capital
were invested abroad to enable the
purchasers to pay.
Mr. Harding had nn engagement
today with Charles M. Schwab, steel
magnate and although no announce
ment wns made, the assumption was
that he was consulted on the same
general subject.
