It was the first of two contests be- tween the two star professionals, the second to be run off at Birm- ingham tomorrow, The open champion's defeat to- day was by no such margin as his 18 and 17 reverse at Compston's hands last year, but that match was at 72 holes. If this had gone another 38 holes, probably he might have been just as soundly trounced. He lost six holes in a row from the 24th through the 29th, . ' The only sparkle to 'Hagen's play came at the 30th hole, after the match was over. He garnered a birdie two at thé 200-yard one- shotter 'when they were laying . only for fun. The gallery of 2,500 following the match gave the Am- erican a big round of applause for the feat. It was the first putt longer than his driver he had holed all day. Compston played - neat . golf throughout the round, hig putting being deadly. He missed only one in the morning and none in the af- ternoon. The Briton out-drove the American 20, 30 - and 40 yards. Compston had a score of 71 to 73 for Hagen in the. first round, being two up, and the home star did the 11 holes played in' the afternoon in even fours. i Hagen and Compston went to Birmingham tonight to olay 36 * holes tomorrow.

ENGLAND AS SEEN BY AN AMERICAN London--An American who la- ments the fact that he missed visit- ing England earlier, writes to the Daily Mail of his impressions as fol- lows: "Seven times business of pleasure has brought me from America to Europe; but this is the first time I have been to England. "It is with some shame, and real regret, that I make the confession; I know now what I have missed. "In London 1 have found many things so enjoyable, so exciting and so splendid that beside them many A { S| seem cheap and garish. Where else in Europe will one 'find anything to equal, let alone surpass: "The ready courtesy of. the Lon- doner. . "The quiet but cheerful hospitality of the best clubs, "The good manners and self-con- trol of the English crowds, as mani- fested at the Wembley Cup Final-- 100000 people present, and my host and I were able to walk straight to "The verdant charm of the' Eng- lish countryside. "The austerer beauty of Scotland --3s effective in its way as Color- o "A dozen brilliant plays. ; i pageantry of your ceremon- ia "The magnificence of y leries and architecture, "If Americans only knew what thls country offers 60 or 70 per cent of them would no longer go straight to the Continent. The United States will listen: why not tell them--through: our art gal- Advertisements? It would pay." - To-day brings the opening of the Senior Ontario Amateur lacrosse sea- son here and at the same time the Torontos from the same city as their. name is derived, for the opener. Both managements are confident of annex- ing a win, the visitors with one loss already chalked up against them will be in there fighting from the start- ing whistle Since their last weeks loss they have added plenty of strength to their already strong dozen, and will have on their line up many well- known stars of the Canadian game. Some of these will be Teddy Reeves, Doc Virtue, Max Macgregor, Dewey Davis, Dode Laceby and Gus Me- Kinnon. with this strong aggregation the Torontos have every reason to be- lieve that they will come out a win- ner in the game this P.M. Coach George Munroe of the locals is equally as confident of being the fortunate one, and he has, to back up his confidence, Davidson, McGrath, Fox, Shannon, De Gray and Shepley, all of whom you have met in this col- umn. Then there is Red Spencer, Connie Golden, Hubbel, Coulter, two Whites one Whyte, the other "Toots," These men will be introduced to you also, but if impatient just request an introduction and park this afternoon. The game will be preceeded by a parade by the young lagrosse players of this city and a band of coming players about one hundred, from Port Hope along with two senior teams. This parade will be headed by the 34th Reginmenta! Band. The St. Catharines go to Brampton this afternoon and there they will likely recéive the second defeat of the season, The Brampton team is known by all to be one of the best in the loop and they will no doubt humble the Athletics severely. The St. Kits squad are also confident as they have added a host new strength to their dozen and will be able to give a bet- ter account of themselves, Steve Rocco Wi Toronto, June 1.--Count Steve Rocco right in the running when the leading flyweights are men- tioned. Giving by far his best per- formance of the year, the former Canadian champion scored a con- vincing victory over Doddy Old- field of England in the main bout of the Shamrock club" show at the Coliseum last night, when Referee Marsh stopped the bout in the eighth round with Oldfield in a helpless condition on the floor. Oldfield boxed a courageous but always a losing battle, He must be given credit for his pluck but advantage in boxing was Rocco's from the commencement. The Englishman was down for counts of varying length seven times be- fore finally sinking to the floor an eighth time, so obviously unable to continue that the referee raised Rocco's hand without going through the formality of counting the loser out. Rocco's victory was a brilliant one and will greatly increase his prestige and strengthen his cianu to another championship bout with Belanger. Oldfield holds a decl- sion over Harry Hill of Engianu, from whom Belanger recently re- gained the Candian title, but he wag unable to successfully cope with Rocco's dashing attacks. The preliminary card provided plenty of action and good boxing. Matchmaker Brown had made the matches well and there was fot a dyll contest on the program. Irv- ing: Peck of Syracuse received the decision over Bobby Eber in the semi-final; Jackie Phillips won from Doug. Lewis, Sam Hackett beat Eddie Sweeney of Syracuse and Hughie Lees won from Phil Walthers, when the 'bout was stopped in the sixth round, A volume of boos greeted the decision when Peck was declarea the winner over Eber. The ater did not show the same good form as in recent bouts, but he did ap- pear to have at least a slight mar- gin over Peck, who entirely lacked Eber's boxing ability. Eber may have thought he hag thé bout won, for it seemed he could have ex- tended himgelf more had he with- ed. Peck had an awkward style and ins Handily From English Flyweight took less punishment than do most of Eber's opponents, but he was on the receiving end of many lefts and an occasional right. and while he landed more of them than should have. penetrated the guard of a boxer as good as Eber, a great many were caught on Bob- || Eber |/ by's arms and shoulders. did more of the leading and soxed confidently all the way, while} Peck, covering up at times, ap- | peared less sure of himself, Results Hughie Lees, Winnipeg (144%), won from Phil Walthers, England, (139), when bout was stopped in last round of six-round bout. Sam Hackett, Toronto (127-, obtained decision over Eddie Sweeney, Syracuse (129) after 6 rounds. Jackie Phillips, Toronto (1393), obtained. decision. over Doug. Lewis, Toronto (150), after six rounds. Steve Rocco, Toronto (111%), won from Dddp Oldfield, England, (110), by knockout in eighth round of ten-round bout. Referees -- Alex.
