Young Champion Learns Some Valuable Lessons

kindled anew tlia
varlotn finw of
opinion. For the
benefit especially
of those who have
not seen these
players in action
I will (ketch briefly
some, of 4he main
features of their
manner of playlnB
the name, and how
they differ from or
resemble. each
other
In the lit Kt place
JOHN O. ANDERSON. It
iniKnt be well
to not tfcftf rii.i.
mtH stylo hns changed somewhat and
changed for the bftter. since he was
abroad last spring, Those who saw him
win the open championship at Urooklln
went away with the feeling thnt there was
sti. I iii.Mi power to be revealed and oppor
tune. es for useful development In his
game; and It Is only proper to sav that
In many Instances Oulmet has improved.
Tho most Important hit of Information
wc get from the amateur champion him
self, who says that when he llrst played
over the courses on thn other side and
watched the good golfers he was taken
'Jf.onc" wlth tnclr ,lne lro" !l!'. which
did not resemble his own method, The
luk swing was not so long and therefore
wan more under control. He did not set
at onci. about the changing of his style,
for that would have been a serious matter
nt that stage, and It was not until lie had
returned to this country that he dis
covered ho had unconsciously had be
queathed to h'm by the golfers on the
other side a lilt shoitcr Iron swing which
improved and steadied his game
In this connection I might note that
the same fault of ovcrswlnging with Irons
has been noticeable in the game of one of
.New York's best of the younger plavers,
.Mnxwell It. .Marston. Oulmet In comment
ing on his play said but recently. "I would
like to tell Max that he ought to shorten
that bark swing of his with the Iron ; for
he In doing the same sort of thing which
I did last year Hut I don't wunt to bu
considered as presuming."
I nm mentioning this fact because It
has not been much over a week since.
.Marston was out on the links under the
excellent tutelage of C.eorge Low, with the
strong determination to shorten up on
thnt back swing and so round out his
K'ime Marston will ilnd that his go'f
play will increase In power when he ge'n
out on the links next year.
Almost cverbody has his own manner
"i unving, aim .Mr. Uulmet Is no excep
tion. (ImduaJly lue.ng the past two or
Three years his left foot has been wUIng
forward, until now t can bo asserted with
out fear of contradiction that he play.i
on his left foot. The latter Is probably
two or three inches In front of the right
foot when tho bnckward swing Is ncoom
pllsueil. This wrng has a 'swish and a
sweep In one The hands are thrown
fairly high, but noticeably so, when tho
club heiul is carri-d back There Is a
Might twisting nt tin. hips, which Is some
what after the manner of II irry Vardon.
thus enabling Ou'niet, along with n
prominent raising of the left foot In the
i.acKwimi swing, to get n far carry baric.
The moment of impact finds Mr. Oui
met's right shoulder freely oomlnir down
and forward, and then thn carry through
Is powerful, the arms and wrists working
In pcrf.tt harmony. The whole motion
is so free from artificiality that It strikes
the spectator at once that It Is the natu
ral outcome for Oulmet to get a long
and straight ball. Some of this feeling
may be due to tho exhibition of youthful
strength and the plasticity of thn ama
teur champion's muscles, which are
plainly evident, but the fact remains that
tho man In the gallery can find no kink
on which to lay his hand which would
cause him to doubt tho arrival of another
splendid drive.
Personally I think that Oulmet will
modify tils stance a trifle when he gets
a few years more of young manhood golf
nrvd stand neirer the ball. Hut as he
himself says, when be finds that his
muscles are tightening up then will be
tho time for him to sot about changing !
his style on tho tee. I
When we enmo to Mr. Travers n curl-1
ous thing la seen. There are supposed
to bo two s'yles In golf so far as the
art of driving Is concerned, tho flat
swing nnd tho upright swing. Harry ,
Vardon Is an upright swinger, J. II. Tay-1
lor nearly the only great golfer who
swings (Int. Oolfers -when they start In
play one or tho other, although It is not I
an altogether uncommon thing for ri ,
golfer to change from one style to the '
other. Hut In tho case of Travers we find
that ho starts with a turn over of the .
hands tow.inl the right when bringing I
tiu. womlen eluh head back, thus making .
the beginning of his swing that of n llat
swinger. Then, when three-quarters of
the way up. ho elevates his right arm nnd
shifts h's Hat swing Into an upright
swing. This produces a style thoroughly
imllvlrtiiAl. but with a fundamental fault
which has caused havoo on more than
ueeenil occasions. Hammering away on I
one style will bring n certain amount of
perfection, but It will not pay In the long
run.
Perth Mr. Oulmet nnd Mr. Travers nr
masters of Iron shot play, yet with styles
somewhat different. Travers plays a
fairly low hall when striving for distance,
with a trajectory which promises a long
run Oulmet on the other hand hits a
ball which rises slowly nnd when It lnnds
seldom skips along In rabbit fashion.
Travers gets his liody Into his shot In a
rip-tearing fashion, If tho distance to be
covered be far, nnd few Indeed are the
golfers who down w.nd or facing a gale
can compete either In distance or direction
with him. When I see him play a long
Iron shot I nm reminded moro of the
manner In which James Ilrald plays It
than any other golfer, not In the manner
of drawing the club hack, but near nnd
at the moment of Impact. The thud and
evident purpose of tho shit carry the
same kind of conviction
'TIs said of Hrald that when h takes
n cleek shot the ground around for many
yards trembles. Ho In some degree does
Travers descend on the unsuspecting
rubber cole, The amount of turf which
he take Is not considerable, but Travor.i
rarely If ever plays without taking a hit,
unially Juat after hitting the ball.
In the short Iron shots Travers has
the happy faculty of playing a low hit
ball which hns enough of hack spin to
keep tho ball within close proximity to
the spot where It lands, Thin Is, to my
mind, the one shot where Travers excels
the other players In Iho game. 1 am
thlnklug now not of tho short tnnshle
shots but of n distance approaching inn
va'ds, Travels and his Jigger In wind
i ml rain and fair weather can be de.
ptndcd on lo come nearer thu hole In a
,ivrn number of shotn than nny other
player In this shot Travers does not
wholly .illmlnato tho notlceahlo hendlng
of tho wrl't" at the tp of the swing,
but the raising of the rlnht elbow Is
done nwny with nnd then wo ilnd him
nt hie very' best, which Is nn object lesson
In itself. WJth the Irons he Is nn up
right swinger pure and simple. Ills nrnn
are held much ntlflur nt the moment of
Impact with a Jigger than when the shot
Is mado with a mldlroit.
Mr. Oulmet turn patternod his iron ehot
piny very much after the manner of his
drive. That Is to say, there Is no marked
degreo of difference In stance or swing
except for thn distance which the club
head Is carried bark. I attribute this to
the fact that be has made n conscious
effort to bo ns uniform as possible, and I
'bellevo nlso that some If not tho greater
part of Ills success has been duo to this
fact. Th'to are countless golfers who
change their stylo with each club. Soma
do this unwillingly, hut sien to think
that they arn under the restrictions of
the length nnd the shape of thn various '
Implements. Such is by no means the
case with Oulmet, for his whole game
from tho drive down to tho short mnshla
"pitch Is built upon ono basic Idea.
I -was much Interested when following
the amateur champion lust month nt Hk
wnnok to discover whether tflere whs nny
definite amount of turf, approximately
speaking, which he thought It was neces- I
sary to take In the playing of his Iron
shots. I am glad to say that he was and '
Is under no fetish Idea that It is abso
lutely essential to dig up real estate In j
order to get a lmna fide shot. When a
golfer has a short nnd stocky swing It Is ,
generally necessary for him to force some ,
resistance In order to get a long ball, but
when a player has a smooth swing, a ,
sweeping stroke nnd the ball Is sitting up
nicely he may, like Mr. Oulmet, decide
to play It clean, or else take n minimum
of turf. On his cleek shots the amateur
champion Is still prone to tnkn n full ,
swing, but ns thire come so seldom we
may forgive him for his lapse from tho.
orthodox belief.
A contrast on thn putting side Is very
entert lining, for both Traver and Oulmet
arn splendid putter. To my mind there
Is llttlo comparison so fnr as the styles,
go, Travers easily taking the prlre. Hut i
nt the same timo it mint be remembered
that Oulmet has set a new style nltoge titer i
for followers of the gamo to imitate, t'p to
last year at (liirden City there probably i
was not one golfer In a thousand who!
putted In the manner similar to Ouluut's
Ktyic. It was his own Individual effort, 1
nnd yet it must be admitted that from
every standpoint except that of looks.
perhaps. It has sound features. Hut al
though this method presents to the eve
ease, gri1.ee. a feeling of security that
thn ball will travel toward the hole and 1
that It will be hit squarely, although we1
admit these facts wo still find that It Is
tin Individual putt which cannot bo ac
quired without the hardest t-ort of work
and which can bring a sea of troubles
to tlm po-ixcwHor if be Is Just a wio bit
off
Perhaps a bit of detail may help In
showing how the champion putts, lie
says: "In my putting 1 take a static" well
over tho ball ; In fact my head Is ellrectly
over tho ball, and the latter is about mid
way between tho two heels, tho stance
being fairly opon. I have tried putting
off tho left foot, but hnve found that
there was a tendency to stab tho ball.
Taking the club back my wrists do not
i-oina Into play ut all (note thla aston
ishing fact), tho bukward motion ntart-1
ing from the left shoulder and coming
back from the right, like n pendulum,
tt Is the right hand which Imparts the
blow, and I endeavor to get a distinct
follow through with th face of the club
head at nhso!utly right angles ti the
hole. I do not attempt to bold a rigid
position, but nllow my body to go for
ward slightly toward the hole The club
head at the finish of the stroke Is be. ,
tween three and four Inchns nbovc tho
ground, a result which cannot bn nierl-1
torlously gained by n stabbing stroke"
How different from the way In which I
Jerome Travers views matters and plays I
Travers In his book on the gamo In-1
slsts that putting Is a test of nerve and I
confidence. He ts to all In lent nnd j
purpose corre-ct, for them uro very few
persons who would disagree. Trnvers's '
style In putting, standing with tho feet'
i- oo together, tho right foot In front.
Performing the stroko with only thn I
hands, wrists nnd arms, with Out had
still as a rock, rvspnihlcH Oilltnet In this i
ono very particular matter, that he too j
takes a pendulum swing with a straight
follow through,
Hut 1 would like to proffer the sugges
tion that In the Oulmet method of putting
there Is less need of this oxactlng m-rvo
and confidence. 1 have watched the
amateur champion many Onus In his
eighteen hole matches and dlscoveu-d that
as soon ns be got Into the body swing, so
to speak, Just as soon as his arms we're
working freedy and In unison, he
putted like ono possessed. This has hap
pened time and again. It Is as prominent
when the match being plaved Is a friendly
affair as when a championship depends
upon the good work on the gre en.
This will bu evident, I am sure, to
thoso who saw Oulmet In his play at thn
amateur championship at Manchester. In
tho early part of several of his rounds hn
was putting badly for him, the ball Just
sliding by thn hole,
"Just lis soon as my putt gets back I
will get out In front." said Oulmet, and
he was right In his suimlsi'. I believe that
his style of putting gets Its best results
morn from physical perfection than from
a control over nercs.
This would bo a delightful thought to
hundreds of golfers, but thu trouble is
thnt thorn nro fmv who can successfully
Imitate the champion In his style. I h ive
seen many who have tried, but never one
who has had any nurc-ss. Mr. Trnvers's
method, thnreforn, appeals to th" golfer as
being tho one neare-st perfection and ho
who, would win nt golf must, of course,
oontrnl his nerves and possess confidence
not only on the putting green hut with
each succeeding shot.

have npproved the Navy's suggestion that

and two at New Yorlc
Tho agreement will not name these
cities specifically, but Oiere Is little doubt
thnt tho Navy will chooso Philadelphia
during Iho years In which It has thu
selection of the site and West Polfit will
undoubtedly name. New York. Tho Navy
gi'ts three selections out of flvo because

Testimonial Dinner for

CHIEF MAY TUI1N THESPIAN
One of the greatest testimonials e'ver
given ii hero of tho sporting world will bn
witnessed at Troy to-night Tills Is tho
home town of John J. livers, tho keystone
king of tho world's champion llrave..
And tho "Human Crab" Is the object of
all tho fuss and clatter. Ho has been
toasted and banqueted many times
before several times. In fact, since
Stalllngs's men wrested the crerwn from
tho Athletics but In no manner so elab
orate as tho entertainment which will
witness his crowning triumph to-night.
PreparHtions.havo been made for 4,000
guests. It was necessary to press Into

rooms of the armory to provldo table

anything In Troy will b there, from tho
Mayor to tho bat boy of the local team.

several adjacent Ktates have accepted In

Knives, who has been visiting In till
city, will leaves for Troy this afternoon.
The lllg Chief Is to bn nccompanled by

had to forward regrets. Tlmy will make
their debut ns it vaudeville team nt a
local theatre to-day.
Stiilllngs Is dialing to get back to hli
(leorgla plantation to ilnd out from per
sonal observation how heavily the lluro
pean war has affected tho marketing jf
Ills cotton crop. He will go direct to
Haddocks, Ca., from Troy to-night.
Within the pist few days the Hlg
Chief of tho Hraves ha been haunted by
vaudeville ufents who are trying to thrust
a moderate fortune Into his bands,
"I have received some ll.itterlng offers,"
said Oeorgo yeisterday at tho Somerset
Hotel, "but so far I havo remained ob
durate. I confess that I am not rlen
and that the money might como In handy.
Perhaps nfter I get home and realize the
extent of the cotton disaster I may wish
I had remained a victim to the lure of
gold.
"I firmly believe-," continued Stalling,
"that I could get away with the theatrical
business about as well as I have with
hasebiill. And if It were not for the fact
that smiio people might Interpret m.v
serious intentions as simply a subterfuge
to make easy gains I should try the
venture. Wu an- nil ambitious. I have
been twenty-two years In baseball and
have done nothing of wnlch I need be
ashamed. Should I decide to maku tho
plunge into theatricals you may he sure
that I will try to give tho theatregolng
public a much value for Its money ns I
have alwnys tried to give my baseball
patrons."
As a preparation for possible trans
gression on his own pait the Hlg Chief be
came an Impromptu playwright and stage
manager Saturday night. He visited n
re-hearsal of Hank CSowdy ami Dick Ru
dolph and was far from satisfied with the
stvie of entertainment plnnnret for them.
On the spur of the moment the big boss
mapped out a rw nnd novel stunt for his
star battery.
.Htallli gs's nervous system Is somewhat
frayed as the result of the drive through
the last three months of the senson.
However, as n Southern gentlemnn. ho Is
thankful for this annoyanco as ho figure
It was the means of saving some of his
Hraves trom committing lesn incjeatc yes
terday. L'nable to sleep soundly Stalling,
arose unusually early and by chance over
heard a local semi-professional baseball
prompter announcing to a friend that he
had secured several of the. Uoston cham
pions to nppoar ngalnst a colored team
In this city yesterday nftcrnooni. Stnlllngs
at once got In touch with his players and
explalni'd that such a pioceedliig would
not look well for champions of the world.
One of the players Involved was of South

CONTINUED SALE OF
AUTOS IS EXPLAINED
Small Investment Needed
JJuy Good Car Is What
Keeps Market Up.
to
ACOUSTOJCED TO IUDE TOO
It has? been a source of wonder to many
persons, soma of them In the automobile
trado Itself, that the business of polling
motor earn 1n this country has kept tip
as wotl on It has. In splto of tho great
war and Its unfavorable effect on a num
ber of othor Industries In this country.
Yet the explanation ot this appears to ho
slmplo nftor all. Thero tiro two reason
In tho xplnnntlon. One I thnt auto
mobiles are cheap and tho other that
folks are too much used to automobiles
to glvo theim up. That Is to say, the auto
mobile is approaching the stage of lining
a necessity rather than a luxury. Just an
horses and carriages used to be.
If tho great war had horn fought threo
years ago, say, the automobllo business
would havo been knocked flat At that
tlmo nn automobile that now car. b
bought for anywhere from 11,200 tei
ll.SOO couldn't bo touched for from
J3.000 to nearly J2.R00. That I what
Is meant by saying that automobiles arm
cheap now and for that reason follrs
aren't balked from buying them. A man
wilt readily epend Jl.OOOwherohocouMnt
think ot spending (3.000. Then too ho hn
tho guarantee nowadays that his car will
bo cheaper to maintain than It was, so
this element 1s smaller.
In these present times a good automo
bile, one that a man would not be
ashamed lo elrlve anywhere, r in bo imt
fnr almost nny price he wants to pay.
There Is every grade of real elrivnblo,
serviceable automobile from 4 10 up to
about J2.000. Pretty nearly tho top of
luxury nnd service Is reached when 12.000
Is passed, speaking In n broad, general
way.
There nre cars to be bad atound JSOO
that satisfy all thn needs of many men of
family. If a mnn cares to go only a llttlo
above $1,000 he can gi t ti very elaborate
car Indeed. Thero Is a. rnnge of selection
that Is widor than the man who hasn't
looked Into the automobllo question has
nny Idea of. So It Is plain to seo why
folks keep on tiiiylnu cars. Tho Invest
ment for each poison Isn't ns vast, by a
halt or moro and there nro moro foltta
buIug cars nil tho tlmo.
Theso remarks apply to the groat Ron
orallty of persoh. because tho average
of cars conforms to these conditions.
Thero ore of courso cars that cost moro
and nre worth all they cost, but they are
not made In thn numbers that the lower
priced cars are produced, because tin y
must necessarily appeal to a morn limited
class. Hut people In gcieral evre finding
the automobllo moro a convenience nnd
less something to show. There nro many
persons who use their rnrs to get about
In from place to place, not for touriim
alotio. In fact the day of the man or bis
family riding only at week cuds Is pretty
well played out.
Tho automobile as a necesnty in Ameri
can life was a topic brought up nt tho
annual meeting of the American Bankers
Association ri'Cently at Hlrlunond, Va
where for a wonder some kind words were
said for the motor car. To ho sure, t
was a Detroit man. William Livingstone,
president of the Dime Savings Hank there,
who mado the addrewm on "Twelve Years
of Continued Progres tho True Status
of the Automobile Industry." He made
the statement that thn automobile was
among tho necessities of tho country and
no longer to bo classed as a. luxury. It
may be that legislators who received
vigorous protests from rural users of cars
when they purposed to put n war tax
on automobile got an Idea too that the
car wasn't any "city mn,n' toy "
Among the Interesting figures hroueht
