ttm some of my Impressions and rccol-
VtllOIlI.
f Belong ago as 1559 It was plain to see
...il.i ni i-nlni to nntnv nn nnnrmnito
reraa In the .States. I am free to con
fist that, when setting out on that ex
Udltlon. I did not expect to find one
th.tne enthusiasm for the gamo which
r"iilfld Itself In all parts of America.
Sij ironam grew and grew until at
jgfin It consiaieu in snKagemems,
Ij I did enough- ralltvay traveling to
raiiiW ft globe trotter In a greater hurry
llua ever Jules Verne conceived anybody
U 06.
ftln" point Of fact, I spent moBt of my
tljuti In trains and the days on golf
rtwieil the only chango camo when the
'jiyi is well as the nights were passed
H ja trains, I Journeyed for two days and
m nigaift u jjjuj- ui uenvcr, ami ar-
tired Just In tlmo to secure a few hours'
lit!; More turning out to opposo the
ftTiid 3, nnd one of my rivals declared
Hilt Inasmuch as I could travel for
iO'liours and then beat a combination
3fjjlire men, I should have the only
uhlsg that had brougYit him luck since
ffljlioyhood. So he gave me his mascot
tie pin shaped like a dice and I have
iilwiyj treasured It.
fati'Ss a common experience to reach
ffjatr In the early hours of the morning,
Willi to the hotel for n short rest and
proceed to the links for a match In which
joiH that much was expected ot me,
Brtej bo much attention very gratifying
ijistttlon waB directed to these con
sists: On the whole, then, I was well
pleued when, at the end, I 'nad won
Jf,iny 83 engagements, most of which
jtjti against odds. Perhaps my chief loss
ier.i'jted of two stones In wolKht.

MS FATAIj CRAZE FOR FLATNESS
fit takes n long whllo to evolve a race
Sieeompllshed golfers, and I would say
nil only now Is America beginning to
teluce players of the kind who would
M called fir&t-clnss in Britain and who
Sri fairly numerous there. Fifteen or
jUfeen years ago the standard of skill
wii not high in the States; nor would
5Wy hav expected It to be, seeing
Jilt the game had only Just seized the
Biltnatlon of the people. Distinctly the

tt iVJl sen8e of P'oPortlon In saying
that I havo never watched any golfer, old
Ohrou"8. who hits his Iron shots up 2
? ?l6btt'' than Macdonald Smith.
nimi. ?89, ls another man of Infinite
promise; he knows every shot in the
game. There ftre others; the Improvement
Is so obvious In so many cases that one
cannot estimate how many players stand
a chanca of winning tho championship
I wonder whether tho caddies on Ameri
can courses retain their old air of detach
ment and Independence. In a way, 1 at
most hope thoy do; they are exceedingly
engaging, even If they make one feel, at
times, that they might be a llttlo more
helpful. At home wo have a queer mix
ture of caddies; eomo whole-hearted in
their attention to their employer's game
find others utterly unconcerned as to
wnnt happens so long as they receive
their due reward for acting as light por
ters of tho links. I do not think the Amer
ican caddie ls often lacking In Interest,
although ho Is occasionally. At least, one
who carried for mo In a match at Miami,
which I was particularly keen on win
ning, cannot have been very greatly af
fected by my nmbltlons. "Here," ho said
lit the middle of the round, "hold these
clubs and I'll go and kill a snako for
you."
In tho ordinary way, however, lofty In
dependence has struck me ob being the
spirit In which the American caddie pur
sues his calling. In Britain, It Is an In
variable custom that the henchman shall
clean the clubs at the end of the day,
and the most laggard member of tho
species makeB a tee for tho drlvo unless
you tell hlrn that you would rather make
It yourself which is fairly often. During
my golfing travels In America, I havo
very seldom come across a caddie who
regards It as part ot his duty to prepare
n tee, and as for cleaning the clubs well,
that would be far beneatli his dignity,
I remember once asking a caddie to re
move tho mud from a ball which had col
lected some of that tenacious substanco
as the rwult of a visit to a ditch. I told
him that I would use It a hole or two
later, when It was clean. He took It
without a word. In due course I asked
him for It: ho handed It to mo with tho
mud still sticking to It.
"Why, you haven't cleaned It," I pro
tested, "Haven't had time," he said nonchal
antly. Thero was no arguing with that youth,
ho had nothing to do but walk along
carrying tho clubs, so there was an end
of tho matter.
EXPERIENCE WITH A HUNCHBACK
CADDIE.
Be It said, however, that we have our
monuments of upplshness among home
caddies. I shall never forget the boy
who carried for mo hi the first champion
ship In which I ever competed, which was
at Prestwlck. Scotland, la 1S93. He waj
a hunchback, no more than 12 years of
age, and ho took me so completely In
hand from tho start of tho competition
that I soon realised that I was not ex
pected to havo a mind of my own. He
gave full Instructions as to how to plav
every shot that presented Itself and se
lected the club for me.
Being desirous of encouraging him to
help so far as lay In his power, as every
good caddie should nsslst his employer,
I obeyed him faithfully for a long while.
At length, however, I had a fancy for a
shot which was different from the one
that ho recommended, and InslBted upon
gpiiig my own way to work. Such Indig
nation ns this small hunchback of 12 ex
hibited I havo never seen equaled In
human being.
"All right," ho said severely, "you can
have your own way now till the finish.
Don't nsk me anything else."
From that moment I could not get an
other word out of him; every time we
came up to the hall he turned his back
on me and held the bag at arm's length
for me to choose a club. He kept that
up till the end. It was amazingly sus
tained anger and contempt.
THE MOST CRUSHING CRITICISM.
Truly are caddies very entertaining oc
casionally. There was one who carried
for mo when first I visited America on
tho course of the New York Athletlo
Club, whither I went on Sundays for prac
tice when In the city. As these were pri
vate games and wo did not want to
arouse any attention, I was Introduced
to the club merely as "Mr. Smith," and
the caddie In question, after accompany
ing mo nround several times, began to
evince a deal of Interest In my golf.
"You know, you ought to Join this
club," ha remarked one day.
"Why?" I Inquired.
"Well," he replied, "they want players
for the team matches, and you'd do all
right." ,, , ..
"What handicap do you think they
would give me?" I asked.
He reflected long and deeply. At length
he gave his verdict.
"You'd 'nave 11." vi ,.
That was about the most crushing crit
icism that ever I suffered,

SEMIFINAL GOLF PLAY
Member of University of Penn
sylvania Team Is Vanquished
by White at Glen Cove, N. Y.
GLEN COVE, N. Y., June 19.-Frank
"W. Dyer, member of tho University of
Pennsylvania golf team, this morning
lost out In the semifinal of the Nassau
Club's tournament to Gardiner W. White,
of Flushing, after an exceptionally close,
exciting match which went to the nine
teenth hole. Only once were they as
much as two holes apart.
The card:
White beat Dyer 1 up 19 holes, after a
desperately close match.
White, out.... 5 6 4 3 6 4 14 439
Dyer, out 5 5 6 3 6 4 4 3 4-38
White, In 4 4 4 4 4 6 5 5 6-40-70
Dyer, In 3 5 5 5 3 6 5 4 5-11-73
Extra hole White, 4; Dyer, 5.
On the extra hole Dyer topped his
drive and put the second Into a trap,
which gave him too long a putt to nego
tiate for a half. On the 18th each took
three putts, but It was duo to tho size
of tho green rather than nervousness.
Dyer by being defeated lost the chance
to meet In the final Phillip Carter, who
holds both tho Eastorn Interscholastlc and
the junior metropolitan championships.

ARMSTRONG IN MATCH
Finalists in State Tennis Cham
pionship Have Hot Setto at
Haverford.
IIAVERFORD, Pa., June 19 -Wallace
Johnton nnd J. J. Armstrong battled this
afternoon on the court of the Merlon
Cricket Club for the lawn tenls title of
Pennsylvania. Armstrong won the first
two sets, but Johnson came back and took
the third.
In tho doubles match between J. R.
Carpenter, Jr., and E. B. Dewhurst and
Stanley W. Pearson nnd L. C. Wlster, tho
teams proved well matched and tho con
test was long drawn out. Pearson and
Wlster did not play very well togothcr
In the first sot and Dowhurst and Car
penter won by six games to four.
The second set was stubbornly contest
ed, first ono side and then tho other tak
ing the lead. Deuce was called In a ma
jority of tho games, and at the end of
the 10th tho score was 10 all. Pearson
and Wlster won tho 11th gamo easily,
and had a chance to win tho next and the
sot, but after deuce had been called twice
Carpenter and Dewhurst pulled through
and made It seven all.
Deuce was called In tho next game also,
and Carpenter and Dewhurst again won
and took the lead. Three times Deuce
was called In tho 14th game, and tlmo
tlmo Pearson nnd Wlster won. Playing
up desperately, Carpenter and Dewhurst
pulled through In tho next two games
and won tho sot by nine games to seven.
Tho singles match between J. J. Arm
strong and Wallace F. Johnson proved a
big attraction. The first Bet was splen
didly contested. Johnson took the lead
at four games to one, but Armstrong
played up brilliantly and won the set by
seven games to five.
The second set was stubbornly con
tested, although Johnson obtained tho
lead at three games to one. After that
Armstrong pulled up and made It three
all. Following this, each player soon al
ternated until 8 all was called. Johnson
then won on his own service and, break
lng through that of his opponent, he won
the set by 10 games to 8.

MOTOR TRADESMEN
FOR THEIR ANNUAL FROLIC
Truck and Trade Associations to Put Rival Nines on the Field,
Sentiment Is Growing Against Annual Distiirbaned of Dealers1 '
Business by Spring Announcements of New Models,
More than 200 motorcar, tire and acces
sory tradesmen will participate In the
annual outdoor frolic of the Motor Truck
Association of Philadelphia at the Mo
hican clubhouse next Wednesday.
A baseball game between the truck men
and the Automobile Trade Association
team will be the principal feature of
an elaborate program of Athletic sports.
Other events will bo 10O-ynrd dash, tAck
rnce, relay team rncei, shot putting, tug
of war and missile throwing contests.
Prizes will be awarded for all the
events. Judge Eugtne C, Bonnlwell and
E. J. Cattail, City Statistician, will make
the presentations.
Following the games dinner will be
served. Cars will leavo the Trade Asso

The outing Is being arranged under the
direction of a committee composed of E.

Are automobile manufacturers com
mitting a business error In rllaturhlnr
what should be the best selling period of '
me year, tne months of -May and June,
by announcing new models during these
months and thereby not only disorganis
ing tho entire selling foroes of the country
during this period but also upsetting the
mind of the prospective buyerT
This question Is answered affirmatively
In tho current Issue of Automobile, which
states editorially;
"There hns been a strong sentiment
against this annual May-June program,
but manufacturers seem Insane on getting
their announcement before the public at
the earliest moment, In some cases Irre
spective of tho best Interests of their
dealers. The present work of the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce to
change this condition will not meet with
very early success beoause manufactur
ing concerns will continue to use those
policies which they think best suited for
their particular needs, consequently It
would seem that the spring disturbance
Is scheduled to continue for some time to
come.
"The most unfortunate aspect of this
spring disturbance Is that hundreds of
dealern are brought out of their territories
to the factories uurlng this period. May
and Juno would seem to be months when
these dealers should be at home, push
ing the sales and perhaps lending every
aid in clearing up the last cars. These
dealers would find It more convenient to
visit the factories at other seasons when
homo needs aro not so urgent.
"Some manufacturers are making an
error in announcing their new models
before they are ready to make deliveries
to customers. It ls a good plan to start
your selling campaign well In advance ot
when you hopo to mako deliveries, but It
Is questionable business to put on a sell
ing campaign for prospective buyers and
not have the goods on the counter that
these buyers want."
Even the wise ones gasped when Ralph
BALL CLUB PLUS A
IT'LL WIN;
By GRANTLAND RICE
The race In the National League is be
ginning to arouse the bug from his torpor.
Ho ls at last beginning, to realheo that nny
ono of six clubs has a. chance-a condi
tion that hasn't existed In over a decade.
The esteemed Dodgers have acquired
the knack of playing lust well enough to
lose one of the most harassing knacks in
the make-up of tho peppery pastime.
This Is no part of a Josh. There ore
times, for long periods, when a ball clUD
can play well, and yet get beaten day
after day. And other times when It can
play badly and still win a fair share of
its stmts.
For It Isn't only what you do In base
ball; what the other fellow does Is at
least EO per cent, of It.
The Next Lightweight Champ
Freddie Welsh, being more than pass
ing clever and yet bereft of a punoh, Isn t
very far from the end of his reign. Clev
erness Is a big asset, but it is of no great
avail when matched against cleverness
plus the ancient and honorable wallop.
There is a good chance that Freddie s
finish would arrive at an early date If he
cared to take on Charley White for 30
rWd.-bu! Tit seems that Freddie's clev
erness extends to his matchmaking as to
his ring ability. As long as he Persists
In mingling only and exclusively with the
cemponenuof cheese he will stay where
he is until the law of gravity drops hlrn
back.
Vital Affair
Preparedness Is a vital affair, any way
you tako It. If the Giants had been pre
pared to win the pennant they would not
be in the second division.
Or. If the pitchers had been prepared for
Tv Cobb he wouldn't be batting over .100.
This should be a tip-off to the nation In
regard to possible war.

Managers of conventions who And it
difficult to maintain fully attended ses
sions over several days will do well to
pluck a page out of the book of Lee An
derson, sales manager of the Hupp Motor
Car Company, of Detroit He corralled
all the Hupmoblle -dealer In the country,
put them on a boat and kept them there
for four days. They had to attend the
meetings. The only alternative was- to
"Jump In the lake."
What with "twelvea' and new "eights"
and "sixes" exclusively and sensational
price reductions, more news has come
out of the automobile faotorles during
the post month than at any previous
time In the history of motorcar making.
Some evldtnca of the healthy condition
of the nutcrnrbtle business may ba gained
from the announcement that the Chandler
Motor Car Company shipped 12S3 car
from the Cleveland factory during May,
This was 453 per cent Increase over the
corresponding month last year. Tbe big
gest day's production was May 25, when
1&3 cars were shipped. F. C Chandler,
president of the company, slates that br
ftfre the end of 1515 more than 10,000 care
will be built and shipped by the company,
Only 10,838 Ford cars were produced dur
ing May. Which recalls the old wheexet,
"That's too much. We expected more."
Details will shortly be forthcoming ot
the new Briscoe "four" and "eight." It
Is announced that the company will put
out one chassis which can be fitted with,
either an eight ttr a four-cylinder motor.
Echoes of the big sensation created
In this country by the aiscovery ot -an

In the latest announcement that the trick

principal Ingredients are obtained from
the waste products of sugar-refining fac
tories. Motorists of this city who contemplate
touring to Baltimore are warned that a
headllght-dtmmlng law will go Into effect
thero on July 1. The law requires that
headlights must be extinguished on en

or lens, of the headlight may be covered
with any substance or material, or treated
In nny manner that will eliminate the

that he Is the greatest champion In his

this wo have no yearning to go until

Back In April the National League
pennant race was scheduled between the
Braves and Giants. But some one must
have forgotten to tip oft Cubs and Phil

The Manager vs. Material
Does a good manager make a. ball club
or, on the opposite side of the debate
does a good ball club make a managerT
With the unseemly trouble sustained by
McGraw. Mack, Griffith. Stalllngs and
others this season the old argument as
to the comparative value of manager and
material has returned In force. Part ot
the experts Insist that a good ball club
makes a good manager, and another part
still contends that a good manager means
a good ball club, as the manager Is over
10 per cent of the combination. ,
Just as there Is a blend In the valua of
batting, pitching and fielding, so Is there
a blend In the value of a manager and
his material. A bad manager can soon
wreck good material. And a good mana
ger can never hurl poor material to tha
front, McGraw, Mack and Stalllngs can
do better with average material than
most others. But not even McOrawj
Mack and Stalllngs can win pennants
with poor material, unfit for the skill and
speed and power needed In a pennant
drive.
