FRANCIS 0UIMET TO LEAVE FOR ENGLAND Boston, Mass.. March 7. Francis Ouimet, open golf champion has decided de-cided to leave for England where he will represent the United States in the British golf championship on March 31, instead of April 14 owing to the cancellation of the sailing of the steamer on which he had originally orig-inally planned to sail. Ouimet feels that the additional two weeks in England Eng-land will add greatly to his form. He expects to further perfect his strokes with the wooden club as the course at Sandwich is such as to make playing play-ing from the tees' with Iron clubs of little value. Arthur Lockwood will accompany Ouimet on his trip. Henirlch Schmidt, of Worcester, Mass., who made a fine showing in the British championships last year has returned from California and announces an-nounces that he will again enter the tournament across the water.
