is surely as the rising of the sun If
,'only he would hit the ball In tournaments
u naturally anri easily as In private
games on his own course nnd not try so
hard to make evory stroke better than
any he had accomplished In the past.
Edgar created the outstanding surprise
of last season by capturing the French
'open championship at Lo Touquet (he put

'which I particularly wanted to win) and
directly the affair was over, tho first
thing ho did was to wnlk up to me and
'say:
"I owe this to you. I never forgot
what you told me about not trying too
hard. I have made a point of being Just
my natural self In this competition, and

I mention this matter not In the spirit
of a sclf-satlsfled sage, but merely to
afford concrete support for the conten

tlon In the golfing world.
1 was Intensely keen on winning the
American championship two years ago,
bccaiife Ray and I had been sent out by
nn enthusiastic supporter of the game
with particular Injunctions to capture the
title; there was to be no excuse for de
feat Well, there was no excuse; we
were beaten by n man who during that
week plnyed the best golf and played It
with Jusl thnt regard which I have al
ready recommended for not losing one's
head in an effort to accomplish prodle
lous things Francis Otilmet hit his shots
lis though ho had titen engaged ln one of
his innumerable prlvnte rounds on his
mother course; he knew just how to win.
I havo always felt that the turning
point in that contest occurred on the 10th
green Oulmet, Ray and I were level nt
the turn. The 10th, a short hole, de
manded n mashle shot to n green that
wns soikcd ns n consequence of the heavy
rains of the previous days. A rule had
been made that in tho event of a bnll
being Imbedded In the mud of a green It
should be lifted, and placed beside the
spot where it had stuck Doth Hay nnd 1
pitched short of the hole, nnd the slope
of the green was such that In each case
the bnll Jumped back n few Inches, leav
Ing In front of It a mark In the giound
at the place where It had pitched.
Oulmet sent his ball about eight yards
past the hole, and as It stuck, he was
entitled to lift it. Thus he had a clear
putt, while Ray nnd I had to take mid
Irons In order to chip over the dent ln
the turf Juat ln front of us. We dropped
a stroke ench It wns one of those
little Incidents that occur from time to
time, helping ono hero and going against
one there; I refer to It because I know
that It settled Just about the most
thrilling open championship of the
t'hltod States thnt hns ever been held.
Oulmet gave us no chance of drawing
level with him 1 made up my mind to
do it at tho 17th, where I was still only
a stroke behind. Ray wns now out of
tho hunt, but In some ntrango manner
'a drive which I thought I had struck
perfectly finished In a bunker. People
who saw the shot told mo afterward
that It caromed olt something nnd broke
fully eight yards Into tho hnznrd.
I havo been asked fairly often what
I regard ns my best golf In champion
ships. I have no hesitation in selecting

In recent times to keep In the foie
ground. When tho game has been easy
to you and you have never thought of
tho bnre possibility of falling to put a
ball near to the hole with any kind of
Iron club, It Is no Bmall chngrln to find
the whole thing golns against you; to
renllze that the winning of champion
ship hns become hard work. I had
secured my second at Prestwlck In 385S,
nnd tho third nt Sandwich In the fol
lowing season was Just tho- pleasantest
task that over piescnted Itself to me
I enjoyed tho unmatchable dispensation
of believing that I could do anything with
a club and a ball. People have declined
to nccept by own estimate that, dur
ing recent years, my golf has been four
strokes a round worse than It used to
bo; If they knew tho difference in my
feelings when playing they might bo
tompteil to agree with me. I realize full
well now that golf Is not easy, even
though one may win nt It.
It was shortly after this third success
In the British open championship that I
started for my maiden visit to America.
Perhaps I left some of my best form In
the States (I have never played qulto so
well since, except, perhaps, for a few
months In the spring of last year), but
1 enjoyed every minute of the golf and
the life, even to the traveling, which was
more or less continuous. Naturally, there
was tellef occasionally from serious com
petition I relished nothing moie than
the boiling indignation of two caddies
who offered to teach Willie Smith and
mo how to play golf on the Van Cort
landt course in New York.

The championship court this morning

Followers of tennis here were still ex

that Behr put up the most spectacular

most believe, was not in tho best condi

THINGS THAT REALLY HAPPEN ON THE " GOLF LINKS
BRILLIANT WORK BY MAMAUX
HAS KEPT PIRATES IN RACE
Youngster Has Made One of Most Remarkable Debuts in
Game Braves Have Advantage, in That They
Have Gone Through Fire Before
By GRANTLAND RICE
Song of the Stalwart
irrffe not Hint Ms fienrf ailed to feci
Tho fear o the fight;
Write not that his nerves were of steel
In the hurricane blight.
Write not that he stood to the flame
Bereft of all fears;
But rather 'grave this for his fame
Through tie myriad gears:
"lie looked to no conqueror's role
Where the paladins dwell;
He was scared to the pit of Ms soul
But he fought till he fell."
If Pittsburgh stands up fairly well
through her next Eastern jaunt, soon to
be launched, Boston, Brooklyn and Phila
delphia can look for a worthy rival to
tho last shot In October.
Mamuux vs. the Field
An argument came up the other day as
to whether or not any pitching debutant
had ever drawn as brilliant a start as Al
Mamaux, tho Pittsburgh sensation
Mnthcwson his first season out won 20
games and lost 17 with a tallender. Alex
ander, starting In 1911, won :8 and lost 13
with a ball club up In the race through
August. Ed Walsh and Miner Brown re
quired several seasons to get started
properly up the steep pathB of renown.
The two closest approaches to
Mamaux's debui year were Russ Ford,
with the Yanks, and King Cole, with the
Cubs, In 1910. Ford that year won 25
gumes and dropped 6 Cole won 20 and lost
3. Hut it Is doubtful If either pitched at
the high level shown by the flashy Pitts
burgher this season. For while Mamaux
has won something like IS games and
dropped only 4, it must be decalled that
tho remainder of the staff. Including such
veterans ns Adams, Harmon and Mc
Quillen, have been struggling on to hold
an even break on gameB won. and lost.
TJils is fair proof that it has been the
fine pitching of Mamaux rather than the
superior woik of his mates that has been
mainly responsible for an average which
Is something beyond even that set up by
the redoubtable Aloxander.
Moran vs. Coffoy
The arrival of Frank Moran has
- BASEBALL
brought from a number of light critics
the opinion that Colonel Moran should
be given the 111 st chnnce to operate
agalitKt Jess Wlllard ln the next heavy
weight chumplonshlp. On the other so
called paw. Moron's arrival has worked
out the solution of a pugilistic tangle.
There wos some question as to whether
Jim Coffey was advanced far enough to
give Wlllard a test.
There h.iB been equal doubt as to Mo
r.in's scholastic standing in the College of
Slug. By sending Coffey and Moian into
tho samo ring this portion of the problem
could be cleared up and the meetlhg
should also give some line ns to whether
cither was yet ready to meet Wlllard
upon anything npprouchlng even terms.
Experience
Those who follow the fortunes of sport
put experience under Arc as one of the
main winning factors of nny game. The
entry who lias been over the high hurdles
nnd has fought his way to success
ngalnst the last test has a big edge.
For this reason Trovers or Oulmet
would be picked to bent Evans If cither
should meet the Western st,nr at Detroit.
Travers and Oulmet have each won an
open nnd an amateur championship.
Evans has yet to win either and the
first win is always Counted as the hard
est.
In the snme way the psychology of this
National Lenguo race In many wnys
favors the Braves. Phillies, Dodgers and
Pirates are now up against their first
rugged test through the stretch, where
the Btruin grows greater each pusslng
day. But the Br.ives have been over thu
route before. This thing of smashing
their way to the front through the last
few whirls Is no now experience for
them. They took tho same road no later
than last year. They proved then that
they could do It. And that 1911 drive will
be a big aid In their piosent battle when
the race finally gets down to the last few
weeks.
Maxims of the 19th Hole
When the sun turneth green and water
groweth us dry as dust, then shall the
golfer who returneth an average score
admit that he is "on his game."
