Had he been at Forest Hills last week instead...
...John Burke, champion of Ireland who signs his first name "Sean," Ouimet's putting helped his partner win four of the first five holes. The match was over at the 30th, with Ouimet & Dunlap 7 up. Captain Thomas Arthur ("Tony") Torrance of the British team and John De Forest, British Amateur champion, did very little better. They lost to Gus Moreland (in vited to join the U.
