Still Different
Hans Wagner, from the beginning, has
always been different There has been
no player like him. He has'been eternally
beyond any rango of the dope.
In baseball, above all other Ingredients,
the batting eye has outlasted any other
faculty. Mlko Donlln was still batting
over -300 when he quit as a regular. And
Mike had U seasons at .300 or better. Mike
was still "hitting the ball when his less
were below par and hla arm none too
strong.
Larry Lajole, in his 13th year. I still
batting between .315 and .825. He isn't
so fast as he used to be, but he can still
hit.
Pop Anson, In his tta campaign In the
d lys when Pop was all through In every
respect closed out his mighty career with
an average of .303 still over the Great
Divide. That was In 1197, through a run
of 113 games.
But Wagner is the great exception. He
was the most consistent swatsman of
them all batting above ,300 for 18 con
secutive years smashing all records by
four or five seasons. But today, at 41,
when he looks almost as fast in the field
a he ever looked, when he is still cover
ing ground and stealing bases, the Bat
ting Eye alone has faded. Hans dropped
below .309 last year for the first time. He
dropped to .252. This season he has been
struggling all year to pass .250, spending
most pf the time below .2(0. He has been
the one bg upset In this matter of the
lasting power of the Batting Bye. It may
be that he will get going again and slip
back to .300. But It Isn't likely, for It Is
hard climbing around 41 or 42. Honus, old
boy. himself is unable to explain his
sklddage below .300 after spending II
yvars on the other side of the mark. But
he Is still dreaming of ope season one
mora campaign up among the ,800 lot
and he won't find more than 10,000,000 or
13,000,000 fan in this country who would
like to see him arrive.

ENTIRELY TOO EASY, SAYS VARDON
British Golf Champion Declares, However, That Matter
Obstacles May Be Overdone Cites Links at Seattle.
Suggests Conferences on Subject.

One ot the points which promises to

Is the question as to the precise degree

tlon. The matter Is particularly inter
esting In connection with golf, for the
reason that. In a very large measure, the
gsme-can be made as' simple or as dif
ficult as people want It to be.
There Is no regulation as to the num
ber or nature of the obstacles that shall
figure on a course. There Is no law lis
to the length or breadth of a course.
There Is no restriction as to the kind of
ball that shall be used, and a great deal
of license Is allowed as regards the form
of clubs that shall be employed for hit
ting the ball. There is no other game so
utterly lacking In whit we may term
'the'stsndardUatlon'of the skill test, and
the consequence la that the character or
the game varies enormously In different
places.
For the greater part. It Is too easy, I
think. In Arperloa. During recent years
the tendency in Britain has been to make
It too hard; that is to say, to Introduce
so many pitfalls and tricky putting
greens as to place luck at a premium.
Lest the reader should be beginning to
think that I am a born grumbler, let me
edd that there are plenty of line courses
in either country, the danger of the oth
ers Is that they may bo regarded as
models by newcomers to the pastime and
hinder those converts from appreciating
In good time the true beauties of golf.
Seattle occurs to me at the moment aa
a type of many American links. It could
be made splendid, but at present it is
not sufficiently rigorous In Its test. Or
perhaps I ought to say that such was
the Impression which I formed of It two
years ago whether It has been altered
In the Interim I do not know. It has
every desirable attribute of nature; its
general appearance puts me very much
In mind of Bunnlngdsle, one of the most
famous of English Inland courses. Prop
ery bunkered, It would have few su.
periors.
That the members of a club like their
course to possess ell reasonable difficulties
has been shown In the case of Bavlsloe.
When I was lost there, I was told that
for considerable time spirited protests
wern made against a scheme for adding
to the trials of a green which really
boasted very little character. At length a
particularly persevering official carried
the day, and after a while the members In
general found the thrills of he game so
greatly Increased by the conversion of the
links from lameness to iuii-piooocuk
that they presented the champion of the
change with a cup.
At the same time. It Is possible to spoil
a course by overdoing the element of dif
ficulty; Myopia has appealed to me as a
place thus marred. It s not that there are
too many bunkers, the trouble Is that the
hole Is out too near to the hazards guard
ing the green, -with the result that a sen
sible player resigns himself to the fact
that It Is dangerous to try and put an
approach Close to the pin. I gathered
when I was at Myopia that this plan of
cutting the hole close to the bunkers was
followed consistently.
There is a happy medium In these mat
ters, difficulties that call for the exercise
of perfect Judgment are splendid, but U
seems to me to be bad to, discourage bold;
pess I could never work up a mite of
affection for a hole of the style of the
sixth at Myopia. When one Is expected
to pitch onto a small green on a kind of
earth-Plmple. one knows at tha outset
that It will be largely a matter of lucH
whether the ball atopp on or runs over.
Tha principle of cutting the holes close
to bupkere ws tried at St. Andrew's, in
Scotland, en the occasion of the British
open championship of IW, and was
roundly condemned by practically all ot
the competitors- The ground was ry
hr4, sq that the player hd either to
steer a course wide ef the hole (and tha
h.Mrdi and trust to running up with the
next ehot to within holing distent, ot"
else get Into the hasard and hope to pi)t
the recovery shot close to the hole. James
Braid won that championship and I think
he owed his sueeees in eonilderable
measure to hla ability at extrleatbig him
self from trouble. He is a truly wonder,

strokes for the reason that he bas pro
ceeded from the bunker to the dreaded
road beyond the green and then back to
the bunker and so on to distraction.
Braid had to send his ball about eight
yards to put II close to the hole. He
used every bit of his power, came down
well behind the ball and raised a vast
cloud of sand; and the ball rose slug
gishly from the force of the disturbance
In Its rear and stopped within holing dis
tance. He hit like a Hercules for that
little shot (as one spectator remarked, the
very earth seemed to tremble) and It was
ope of the finest bunker strokes In his
tory. If ho had played It In any other
way. In all probability he would havo
been on the road.
This, then, Is the only conceivable Justl
flcatlon for cutting the hole close to a
hazard; It affords plenty of scope for the
exhibition of skill In bunkers In some
Instances, one knows perfectly well that
one will be In the eand, and nt times It
Is a matter of looking for the best place
to enter it.
Such was the case In a tournament held
In connection with the opening of the
Cooden Besch links. In England, a course
which must have been laid out with a
view to its being regarded as the ast
word In difficulty. I was so fortunate as
to win It! I think I must have been good
at recovering from bunkers that day. We
were all getting Into them and doing It
cheerfully and resignedly, with an eye
tho whole time for the most favorablo
position In the haiard.
When Braid and I opposed Duncan and
Mayo for 100 In a foursome a few years
ago I put my partner Into the bunker on
the left of the fifth green at Walton
Heath In each round. I knew that we
were sure to be In a bunker of some kind,
and that the one on the left was the
easiest. The plan wte vindicated; wa
secured the hole In each round.
At the same time, there Is not much to
be said on behalf of this ultra-difficult
golf, which gives the player hardly one
chance Jn a hundred of playing an Iron
shot close to the pin. It adds to the num
ber of strokes required for the round, but
It does not necessarily prove that the
course Is so good a test of go)t as one
that can be done In fewer strokes.
While certainly I would have every
green liberally guarded, I do not think
It Is possible to say anything Aner of a
course then that It encourages bold ap
proaching. Particularly would I have
the bunkers at the back of a green at
least lf-and preferably IS yards behind
the pin unless the shot ordinarily de
manded consisted of nothing more than
a short pitch. To have hazards tnree
or four yards In the rear of the hole Is
bound to cause timidity, which surely
need not be promoted In a spirit of sheer
cruel-heartedness.
During the last year or two a wave
of reasonableness has come over the
sphere of British golf-course architec
ture. Putting greens, which were devel.
oping absurdly tricky attributes Jn their
deliberately constructed dips and rolls,
have assumed something like their old
condition of fairness, and the crate for
having little pot bunkers In the middle
of the fairway (snares which cannot
always be seen from the spot at which
the shot Is played) hss died down In a
eonilderable measure,
I have always felt that I lost a "News
of the World" tournament at Bunning
dae through getting Into a pot bunker at
th th hole, ot the existence of which I
was unaware. The Incident happened In
the semi-tine), and I hit the ball just as I
Intended. Unfortunately, I had not been
called on to play this hqte In the preced
ing rounds, and my ostonlehmejit s as
great aa my Indignation when, on walk
ing toward tha spot to which I had etruck
the ball, I discerned a little bunker-and
my ball nestling In It.
Nevertheless, downright easy gait Is a
dull recreation, and U is bound to retard
the development of a high standard of
play. My experience convinces me that
tnoit of the courses In America err on. the
.side of simplicity, I have played on many,
and I should say that two out of every
three possess this fault- There are pome
en which one hardly ever lets. a. bunker)
It Is peMlble to lilt the ball In almoit any
direction without getting into serious
trouble, and In the abeence of a haxsrd
guarding the green, a half-topped ap
proach may finish In better position
than m. nerfeetly executed shot.
