earned America'! Walker cup Into the
Matorlo (rant room of tha royal and
ancient golf club tonight and aet
tn triumphantly under the portrait
of old Tom Morrla, almost leffendray

For IS yeara (treat Britain had tried
to win tha trophy. Three tlmee
bad Malted thla old gray clubhouae
and gone home again. But today
Britain won It. 7 matchea to 4, and
tha old man carrying It through
cheering crowd of 10,000 waa proud
and he wire happy.
Tha facta of thla victory and It
waa a deolalve victory can be die-
missed summarily.
The Brltlah led at the end of Scotch
foursome play yetterday by 2 to 1
having halved the other match.
Marvin (Bud) Ward of Olympls,
Wash., squared It today by playing
15 holea In five under para to bant

what waa only a atrange ahadow of
Johnny Ooodman, 8 and 4, but Irre
rjreaalble Charley Yates, who won the
British amateur Just a week ago, came
back with a 2 and 1 victory over Jim
Bnien to tie It up again at 8 to a

period, the United States led at 4 to 8

moat herolo games of hla life, reeled
err 10 holea In alx under 4'a to make
tip a four-hale deficit and beat
much-astonished Leonard Crawley,

After that, however, America's re
sistance collapsed.
Brightest spot on the American aide
of the picture, In addition to vlotorlra
by Tates. who hung on to beat Bruen.
and Fischer, who came back to down
Crawley, waa the brilliant scoring of
warn.
Tha Psolfto coast youngster, rated
by British orltloa the weakoat member
farded a certain loser to Pennlnk,
or tha unltod States team and re
started orr with an outgoing 3a In
he morning that waa four under par

in no, two under par, winning four
mora holea to be a up: ploked up
iter luncn witn the same deadly
accuracy on tha greens, and didn't
lose a hole of the as the match
lasted.
Hla 87 waa one atroke better than
aobby Jones' amateur course record
and, though match play scores uau
ally are not aecepted as records, this
one deserved to be since Pennlnk

January, That match, according to
the consensus of locsl fans, won one

here, and waa the aecond time In
three years Cowboy Chick had been
held to a draw. McDonald, who has
been touring the southwest since
leaving here several months ago, has
sworn to beat Chick, and many cus

chance to do so. If he doss, it will
be the second time the champ has
last a local match.
Floyd Britt and Red Lyons will turn
on the heat in the middle engage

about clean and scientific wrestling,
the result should be an alley brawl
