When Sammy Snead returned home after winning the British Open he brought word that Henri Cotton is plannlrg to visit this country in he fall As 1 luve been asked time and Main by ll E5001‘ many people how he will stack d1) against the American plalvrrs Wher- and if he comes over here! want 1c devote a little time to Cotton to-

Of course, I haven't seen Cotton play since 1937 ‘when I was in England for rhe Ryder Cup while Dlck Burt-on was here this summer I quirmed him at length about Henry anti from what hc said I don't think that he has ashamed mucn as a golfer. Naturally, 111 1937 when I was in England I hadn't had a

my eyes open as he was even then one of the world's greatest players I took advaniage of every opaportunity I could to watch him

Iywes very much impressed with his game because _ Cotton, more than anv other English profession- a1 I have ever seen plays the game 1|.ke an American money player As I've said before ".1: this space, the om thing which impressed me most about Henry's game was the unlformit of his swing with all clubs. T ere is no doubt in my mind that his ivio visits to tins country in the late twenties, at which time he played in many c1’ our tourmmects and talked with our leading sroiessionals made a tremendous impression on him.

Henry Cotton is built about like Bobby Jones. He is no: tall and he hasn't a prirziciil.ily' broad pair ;f shoulders, but has hcivv lceys zml hips. l-le also lzns a strong pair of irrists and a gccd pair 0f hands.

Cotton is at ms best of: the tee. He doesn't hit tn- ball as long as Snead, mule, Hogan and Thomson “but I wOllld judg) that ne gets about as much cisbn-ncc as 1 do when I am at iziy best.

I-ler-ry has an upright swing and 1t is quite Firm throughout. He doesn't cock his wrists as much as most of our real long hiifers do and he hasn't a real full follow- thrcugh. but he keeps both feet

on his backswing His hnucs travel the backswin as they do on the ust about te same distance on allow-through, indicating 1116 unl- formity of his swing.

Cotton is the iveilthlest of the English professionals. He is ihe teaching professional at the Mir.‘- sllfrey Club‘ ard use serves 0n the 59m?

He serves on the advisory staffs of equipment manufacturers and he writes u golf 00.1mm for the Ncwsof the World, an English Weekly Wllh a iazge circulation

Postponed Race Program Will Be Held Today

i

Rain which started early Wednesday afternoon and fell intermittently up to near noon yesterday morning‘ forced cancellation of the Old Home Week racing program yesterday with the track being declared unfit to race over.

Keeniy disappointed in this unavoidable turn of events officials of the meeting, however, with clearing weather prospects announced that yesterday's card will be raced today with Friday’s program scheduled for Saturday af- iernoon.

Despite the postponement racing today will be just as keenly contested with the same fields coming to the wire. The program is headed by the long-awaited Free For All Trot and Pace together with three other evenly matched classes that should give harness race lovers an even more exciting afternoon’s sport than they experienced 0n Tues- day and Wednesday.

The program will get away at 2 o'clock sharp, daylight saving time and in addition a fuii program of vaudeville will take place on the stage and high wires in frontof the grandstand.
