OUIET'S LOSS IS NATION'S

By H. C. HAMILTON (United Frees Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, Jan. 26. When the United States Golf Association voted at its last meeting to uphold Its definition of an amateur, and by so doing rut Francis Oulmet on the footing of a professional golfer, it robbed amateur golf of one of the most sensational tigures it ever possessed in this country. In spite of the fact that the position of the golf association was connn livable in that it made no distinction between Ouimet or some lesser players, golfers the nation over never will erase
