An Eye-Witness Account of the day's play in the Golf Tournament from
Pine Valley, New Jersey
The Walker Cup, one of the most coveted trophies of the amateur golf world, takes its name from its donor, James Walker. He originally intended that the challengers should play the match in the country of the holder, but for various reasons-mainly economic -it was decided that the teams should visit each other alternately.
The match is between teams of eight aside and is played by foursomes and singles over thirty-six holes. It takes place every two years. The first match, played in 1922, was won by the Americans. And they have won every succeeding match, though the margin has been as narrow as one point. In an article on page 6 Peter Lawless discusses the prospects of the present British team.
