great players abroad, notably Sandy
Herd and Abe Mitchell, the latter the
game's longest driver, still cling to the
old palm clasp. All of which is true.
Many fine players In this country
have attained golfing fame without
the Vardon grip. Walter Travis and
Jerry Travers, both of whom won the
national title several times, held thelr
clubs much after the fashion of a bat-
ter holding a bat In baseball. But
golf, the tone of it and the numerical
element, has changed materially since
Travis and Travers bossed the cham-
pionship ramparts. In those days a
champion had no more than four or
five good players to beat, but nowa-
days, with a new star bobbing up at
every tdrn, the number {8 closer to
40 or 50.
An obviously incorrect statement ap-
pears In Hutchison's article when he
writes that “the list of holders of the
American championship does not In
clude a single player who used the
Vardon grip.” Bill Fownes of Pitts
burgh was the first American to win a
championship using the Vardon grip.
This was in 1010. Bob Gardner, an
other Vardonite, won in 1815, and 8.
Davidson Herron, who learned his
game from Fownes, and naturally em-
ployed the same grip, won in 1019,
