?jBateurs Triumph by Making Fine Come-Back After

By Ray McCarthy
-?Sandy" Herd and J. H. Taylor, Great Britain's great golf veterans
pUintd a defeat at the Areola Country Club yesterday ?while the gallery
^ a thorough drenching. Herd and Taylor were beaten, 1 up, after a
rtderful fi&ht ?gainst ?Jesse Guilford and Francis Ouimet. After the
?ufe the spectators were never up. The rain beat them all three ways.

Amateurs Play Well in Afternoon
Tfc? amateurs were riot playing well
-, the morning. Ouimet particularly
m not his real self. But they were
?entirely different team in the arfter
?oii. Both played vei golf in
??* second round, while their team
?rk was perfection itself. Fine gen
er*Ish:p and splendid teaming had
itpt the visitors in tho running, but
??far as teamwork was concerned the
Etonians went their opponents one
better on this round.
?teil so, the Britons might have fin
ihidal! even had young "Sandy" sunk
*ii putt on the last green. "Sandy"
?id ? great chance right there to make
\ fcre of himself. He will probably
:?'?*? forgive himself for his lack of
-.?.d?tsB, as it were. Going to this
?????ii the amateurs, having won the
itfiB'eenth hoie, were 1 up. All ex
sjt Guilford had good drives. The
?i?apion pulled his to the left, then
Ksstd his second into the rough at
?ie right of the green.
Bird with a brassie played a low fly
?jfsbot that was straight on the pin
i? the way, and that stopped within
?? feet of the cup. Ouimet was on
'??ly, but Taylor managed to get just
?lite edge of the green. From that
vrt, however, J. H. came within a
?Aliper of running down his putt.
?s?ford made a grand chip shot and
id his putt for a '.. and the best
?Mt could get was a 4. That gave
M the chance for a 3 and victory on
??' hole.
I? and Taylor studied the putt from
??h sides, which caused somebody in
?e gallery to twitter. To say the
.east that was very unsportsman-like
md uTiipipTeciative. These veteran
?.layers are just as anxious?more so,
n fact, iban any other 'pair?to win
?eir games.
HetdMiuts Putt on Last Hole
Earing got the lay of the lan.d, Herd
is'.led. The ball was ritfht on the
is? with the center of the cup. But in
mimiety to keep on the line poor
'Sedr"had forgotten to be up and the
3*11 stopped on the very lip. "Oh,
?k??,''exclaimed Herd disappointing
fcliaould 'ave knocked that ball
?TK? past the hole."
Tie Massachusetts stars lost no time
?1 piling back on even terms in the
ifteseon. On the second hole both
Herd and Ouimet had putts for 3s.
Herd missed his by an teye-lash, but
foiieii stepped up and v/ith that fine,
ielicate touch that he uses rolled the
Milsmoothly into the tin.
They went along then, halving each
bole until they came to the eighth,
lust as they came off the seventh
freen the clouds opened suddenly,
ruining many bonnets and as many dis?
positions. Nobody missed getting that
?etting.
At the eighth hole Ouimet dropped
Ms third shot within arm's length of
jn? pin and corraled a birdie 4 for a
win. That squared the issue.
Guilford then took a hand in the
contest. He hammered out a tremen?
dously long drive at the tenth hole
tad got home with an iron, while the
?hers were using wood. Then he ran
?own his putt of some fifteen feet for
ibirdie 3. which gave his side the lead.
wilford dropped another putt of ten
??t at the twelfth for another bird 3
ltd a win.
Taylor Wins on Thirteenth
The visitors were undaunted, never
?ifless. Taylor used his wood three
?mes m reaching the 600-yard thir
*Hth, but he was never off the line
m had a putt for a 4 when he reached
y* green. His 5 was good enough to

Getting the Swing Grooved
' I have been asked frequently why it
is that so many promising young golf
era come along -who never seem to get
much further, and why it ia that so
many golfers, leading amateurs and
professionals, are able to snoot a 72
one round and then need an 81 for the
next start.
In other words, why it is that so
j many good golfers are' so erratic?
In my opinion this is not a matter of
! nei-ve, as so many seem to think. It ia
i mainly a matter of getting the swing
grooved or fixed, a knack that very few
have.
There are hundreds of golfers who
i have fine swings to look at and who
ion many rounds are swinging just as
'well as any one living.
On these days they are playing al
? most unbeatable golf, but perhaps two
! days later, while their swsnga look to
I be the same, they are six or eight or
? ten strokes higher.
One Example
Their swings may look the same, but
they are not the same. They may be
! coming back just an inch off line or
: they may be swinging down just a
! half-inch off line.
Take the case of "Chick" Evans.
! When Evans first started golf he made
a study of correct swinging. He then
practiced more than any other man,
amateur or pro, I have ever known.
I understand that he used to come
i out late in the afternoons and practice
Tor at least an hour or two, and then
; sarly in the morning play three or
;;;ur holes over and over again by him
Sft't", getting his golf swing fixed in
the right place.
The result is that to-day "Chick"
Evans has the best grooved swing in
the country. I mean by that that his
swing changes lc3S, that each swing is
i more like each other swing, than with
! almost nny golfer in the world.
j "Chick's" back swing will come back in
| exactly the same plane or orbit for al
; most every stroke. In this way-he can
; play round after rouiid and not be off
the course. He hasn't the power of
some hitters, but for direction and eon
; trol there ia no one who can beat him.
?* Travers at Putting
The same thing applies to Jerry
' Travers in putting. Travers never
; varies his stance, his grip or the line
1 of the back .?wing. They are all ex?
actly alike. And Travers, like Evans,
earned this perfect uniformity with
the putter by long hours of practice
when other friends were playing four
: ball matches.
In both cases you might remember
that Evans and Travers did not mere
: ly pick up any perfect stroke. They
: earned it by hard work, by close con?
centration on the right way, by hard,
long practice, that went on for sev
j era! years, when they were much
? younger than they are to-day.
Harry Vardon, I believe, came nearer
I to having a ?xed or grooved swing* than
any other man I ever saw. He brought
his club back in exactly the same way.
I mean by that each individual shot
was played exactly like that same style
of shot had beenplayed hundreds and
thousands of times before. Golf isn't
nearly so much a matter of nerve con?
trol as it is of pure physical skill, of
I being able to play each stroke the
right way through long practice of the
right sort until that stroke becomes a
fixed habit. In the first place, the av?
erage golfer knows very little about
the type of swing he uses, whether it
is upright, flat or in between. One day
he will use one type and the next day
he may use another without knowing
he has changed. One day he will stand
at one distance from the ball and the
next time he may be four inches near?
er or five inches further away and not
know he has changed.
The main feature of any good golf?
er's game is consistency. If a golfer
is straight one day and wild the next,
as so many of them are, he will never
get very far. The winners must be
able to keep straight day after day, and
they n-**ver can get to this point until
they have grooved their swings, until
they have made a fixed habit of bring?
ing the club exactly the same way at
about the same pace. A half-inch dif?
ference in a golf awing may make a
difference of fifty yards in direction.
Just a small fault may easily do as
much damage as two big faults, for if
the ball isn't hit correctly it is going
where you don't want it to go, except
in a few lucky instances.
This is the trouble with so many
promising youngsters who have occa?
sional brilliant rounds and who never
seem to get very far in any big tourna?
ments.
You often will notice that when a
golfer misses a stroke he will imme?
diately tak? a practice swing after?
ward. The best time to take another
swing is after a good stroke, and then
try to make this swing exactly as the
other was made in order that you can
come closer to fixing the right way in
your memory. Good golf is merely a
matter of keeping the right swing
going day after day in the same
groove, and not of hitting at the ball
in a haphazard way? where one day you
may guess correctly and the next you
will be 'way off.

Johnny Weissmuller Easily Wins National
440-Yard Swimming Title at Brighton
Gh?ckgo Marvel 50 Yards
in Front of Blake; Miss
Riggin Wins '880' Title
Johnny Weissmuller, eighteen-year-1
old swimming marvel of the Illinois j
A. C.i of Chicago, scored an over-1
whelming victory in the National-A. A.
U. 440-yard free-style championship at
the Brighton Beach Baths yesterday i
afternoon.
Swimming in beautiful form, he cov- j
ered the distance over a 110-yard open
water course in 6:16 1-10 and defeated
by fifty yards his closest rival, Tom
Blake, of the Los Anreles A. C, Pacific
A. A. U. champion at one mile.
Lee Jarvis, of Dallas, leading water?
man of Texas; James W. Hall, of the
| Brooklyn Central Y. M. C A., former
i ten-mile title holder, and Tony Karac
zewski, of the Olympic Club, of San
Francisco, junior national one-mile
i champion, were the other starters, and
finished as named.
Weissmullcr set out at terrific pace,
j immediately drawing away from the
field, and he had a lend of several
?yards when he struck the 110-yard tnrn
jin 1:08 2-5. Blake tried to go after
! him on the second lap, and left the
others, but Johnny continued to open
the gap. and reached 220 yards in
2:29 1-6, more than ten yards to the
good.
On the third lap Karaczewskl, in
third position until then, was passed
by Jarvis and Hall, while the leaders
kept on increasing, their advantage.
Weissmuller sprinted on the way
home after passing 330 yards in
3:55 2-5, and romped in fresh and
strong. Blake defeated Jarvis by
twenty yards, while Hall and Karac
zewski were four and twenty-five yards,
respectively, behind the latter.
Weismuller's time for Ui? quarter
mile is the fastest ev?r maae outdoor?
in this country, and within 6 4-5 sec?
onds of the world's record he set in
Honolulu recently. Considering that
a slight ground swell swept the course,
it is open to question which is the
better performance actually.
Following the men's title event three
lassies of the New York Women's
S. A.?the Misses Aileen Riggin, Doris
O'Mara and Lillian Stoddard?competed
for the Metropoliten A. A. IT. 880-yard
championship over the same course
and finished in the order named.
Miss Riggin took the lead at the
start and held it to the end. She won
by twenty yards in 1*4:35 2-5. Miss
O'Mara, who is thirteen years old, and
Miss Stoddard, fifteen, swam the entire
distance neck and neck. The former
was second by inches only.
Later in the afternoon Weissmuller
took part in q water carnival in the 75
foot pool of the Brighton Baths and
won two invitation races. At 150 yards
free style he defeated by a wide mar?
gin Lee Jarvis, turning the distance in
1:27 3-5, or within 1-5 of a second of
his own world's record. At 150 yards
back stroke he outclassed Karaczewski
in 1:48 4-5 and passed 100 meters on
the way in 1:17 flat, claimed as a new
international standard for a pool.

Tales of a Wayside Tee
_By GR?NT1.AND RICE
Copyright, ?S?f, Ne o York Tribune ?no.
"Why is it," asked a golfer who had
been following Abe Mitchell through
the qualifying rounds, "that nearly all
great golfers are erratic putters?"
Harry Vardon was the first to start
this train of thought, for Vardon, the
greatest of golfers up to the green,
was one of the poorest putters in any
first-class field.
In the same way "Chick" Evans has
lost more strokes upon the green than
I anywhere else, "Chick's" magnificent
' golf frequently going to was.te through
lapses on the green.
j George Duncan, while by no means a
I poor putter, is not among the elect
i around the cup, while in other respects
: he is one of the greatest of them all.
The Case of Hagen
About this time Stewart Maiden, the
famous Atlanta "pro," came up.
"Do you know," he asked, "one of
i the greatest features of Hagen's game?
! It is the fact that, in addition to being
a great golfer, he is also a great put
; ter. This rarely happens in golf.
j There are and there have been great
j golfers who are good putters on
certain days, but rarely consistently
60. Hagen is undoubtedly the greatest
putter among the great golfers. His
play up to the green is always im
, pressive, and once he reaches the
green he keeps going. I mean by that
his greatness doesn't quit at the edge
of the green. This is the reason that
he has won so many titles.
"I have seen any number of fine
golfers," Maiden continued, "who were
confident enough up to the green. But
at this point their confidence wasn't
? quite so marked. In fact, few of the
great golfers are confident around the
{ green. But Hagen's confidence starts
at the tee and then continues until
the ball has dropped into the cup. He
doesn't have his confidence broken at
so many points the way others do?
others who are never quite sure whether
their puttOTS will work correctly or
not."
The Matter of Confidence
Jim Barnes is among the fine golfers
who are also fine putters. Barnes, as
a rule, is steady in sight of the cup,
and, while he may have his off days at
putting here and there, his lapses are
never extended. There are any num?
ber of golfers who are confident with
certain clubs.
It may be the tee shot, the spoon ap?
proach, the long iron, the piten or the
putt.
But most of them, having confi?
dence with one or two clubs, or even
more, lack confidence with others.
We have seen golfers unable to bea?
90 who were better putters and more
confident within short range of the
cup, from three to forty feet away, than
stars who were consistently around 75.
One of the main sources of strength
of Hagen's game has been his confi?
dence with every club in the bag.
He isn't afraid of a tee shot on a
narrow course, of a long iron, a short
pitch or a putt of any length. This
doesn't mean that he expects to hole
all the long ones. But- he keeps plug
, ging for the cup in the belief that the
! ball will stop reasonably close, even if
! it doesn't drop in. Hagen starts his
round feeling fairly confident that he
can use any club in the bag for what?
ever strode he may happen to need.
Few golfers, even among the elect,
have this same happy feeling. The best
of them are not,quite as sure of one
club as they are of another. At least,
the majority oi leading playors are in
; this fix. It is a great thing to pick
! each club in the knowledge that it is
I one of your close friends. At least it
I must be a great feeling to the very
? few who are in this fortunate sector
of the big field.
It would be hard to say just what
'?? golfer could play a greater variety of
, strokes properly than any other. Jock
Hutchison undoubtedly is the greatest
* man in the game on a pitch to the
. green. There is no one who can touch
him here for a consistent turn. For
i control from the tee in the way of di
, rection there is no none who can sur
| pass "Chick" Evans. Evans is equal
| ly straight through the fairway, al
I though lacking the power of some of
the longer hitters. Kirkwood can cer?
tainly play as great a variety of
strokes as any contender now inhab?
iting this bunkered globe. But in tour?
nament play there are probably none
who have a greater variety of shot3 at
hand than Hagen, Duncan and Barnes.
Abe Mitchell ?3 another who is mas?
ter of almost every club up to the
green's edge. Combining all varieties
and including putting, it would be hard
to find any one who could beat Hagen,
day in and day out, in the way of mas?
tery over both wood and iron.
There is a world of luck in golf, but
when a few men consistently lead big
fields there must be a certain reason for
their superior play. And this reason
isn't to be found in expertness with
any one club. Jock Hutchison, a wiz?
ard with the mashie and masliie nib?
lick, is a fine ?golfer outside of his
main specialty. If he wasn't, those
record-breaking rounds would rarely
come off. /
There never has been a golfer who
was surer with every club in the bag
between toe and green than Harry Var
don. This included driving, the long
iron, the half iron, the mashie pitch
and the chip. But Vardon's day is
now over and the present generation
must seek out new heroes. Bobby
Jones is a fine example of all-round
play wherein direction is combined
with power and wherein one stroke
works about as well as another. Jones
and Evans leads the amateurs in this
respect, with Hagen, Hutchison and

Gardiner White
Defeats Knapp
In Golf Final
Triumphs on 19th Hole in
Rockaway Hunting Cluh
Invitation Tournament
Gardiner Whit? won the invitation
golf tournament of the Rockaway
Hunting Club at Cedarhurst, L. I., yes?
terday by defeating E. S. Knapp, of
Westbrook, in the final round. Th??
match, which was a real battle all the
way, went to the nineteenth hole, where
White got the decision.
In the semi-final round in th? morn?
ing White defeated Leon Abbott, a
clubmate. while Knapp was putting
out E. Mortimer Barnes, also of the
Nassau Club.
White was hitting the ball well yes?
terday most of the way and playing a
fine short game. It was his work in
this respect more than anything else
that won him first prize. Knapp had
trouble with his driving which was
costly.
Knapp took the lead at the outsit
when White took three putts on the
second hole. He missed his drive at
the next tee, however, giving White a
chance to square the match. On the
fourth White laid his second shot stone
dead for a win, but Knapn got this
hole back immediately after, when the
Xassau player took three putts on the
fifth green.
White in turn squared the match at
the sixth, but Knapp came right back
with a win at the eighth hole and made
the turn, 1 up. His lead didn't last
long, though, for White, playing the
tenth perfectly, evened matters ae-ain.
He drove to the rough at the twelfth,
and that cost him the hole and the
lead again. ' ?
Two wins in succession at the thir?
teenth and fourteenth holes put Whif?
out in front once more, and going to
the eighteenth hole, he was 1 up. There
he drove out of bounds and lost the
hole. At the extra hole Knapp sliced
his drive, then put his second over the
green. White got a 5, which proved
good enough to win the hole and th?
?natch.
The cards were a3 follow:

Tiffany Is Defeated
By Alex Armour in
Shennecossett Golf
NEW LONDON, Conn., July 22 ?
Alex Armour, of Westchester-Biltmore,
holder of the Scotch golf championship,
won the amateur invitation tournament
on the Shennecossett links here to-day.
Armour won the thirty-six hole final
from Gil Tiffany, of Mohawk, 5 up and
4 to play, ?qfter being S up at the end
of the morning round. At one time in
the morning Armour was 5 up on the
homeward path, but Tiffany was fight?
ing back and reduced this lead by two
holes before tho second round. Going
out in the afternoon Armour played
the first seven holes in par, becoming
?3 up.
Armour messed up a little mashie
shot on the eighth as a spectator moved
| and got a 5 to Tiffany's 4. Thi3
[ spoiled an exact par on every hole go
! in?? out, as he got a nice 4 on the diffi
i cult ninth and practically cinched the
I match, being 6 up and only 9 to go.
Tiffany came back strong and won
! the next two holes. Armour wasted
I one in a bad trap on the eleventh and
'. was again in a deep one on the twelfth,
but Tiffany took three putts and lost
: his chance when the "hole was halved
i in 6. Two par 5s halved the long thir
? teenth and Armour's lead of 4 looked
too big for Tiffany. Armour got a
birdie 3 on the fourteenth, which de?
cided the issue, as Tiffany required
two putts.
Dividing the honors with th? title
match was the play-off for the medal
between Tommy Armour, of Westches?
ter-Biltmore, and Max Marston, of the
Merion Cricket Club. Both had 72s on
Thursday and this morning they
matched op with even 76s, as each re?
quired 40 out and 35 in. This re?
quired a new eighteen holes this after?
noon, and Marston finally got the deci?
sion with a 73 to Armour's 76. Armour
was out in 37, while Marston?'? poor 7
on the ninth left him a stroke behind.
Coming in Marston was under par,
with a 35, a lucky bound off the club?
house saving him a stroke on the horn*
hole. Armour took a 38, wasting two
shots on the short fifteenth.
