after being 3 up and 6 to go, with n tear
In his eye, sprawled all over n two-foot
putt and turned up his toes. And for tho
soke of doing tho Job up brown, Amler
pon was finally put out when he wns a
slight favorite, on form, over Gardner.
Anderson has been playing a great game
till yinr, and few thousht he would bo
disposed of so easily.
Philadelphia women golfers are wring
Ing their hands nnd waiting anxiously for
tho returns on tho little band of experts
from their midst who are attempting to
qualify today In tho nntlonnl champion
ship for women at Onwentsla, Lake For
est, 111. For thero will be- seven Phlla
delphlana In tho fray, and at least three
of them are perfectly capablo of making
trouble right down to tho last bell.
Mrs. Ronald II. Barlow, Merlon, Is the
lending light. She has been a finalist
twlco and was a semKlnallst Inst year.
8o she Is virtually duo to como through.
Mrs. C. 11. Vanderbock Is playing almost
as good golf. She was nlso a srmlflnnllst
laat year, and Is playing better this year
than over. Mrs. Caleb Tox has been a
finalist for tho natlohnl title, nnd her ex
cellent, steady golf should put her well
to the fore, as usual. Miss Eleanor Chan
dler and Mrs. K. II, Filler are other dan
gerous nationalists from this city, while
the golf of Mrs, West nnd Mrs. l.lverlglit
Is sure to earn them a good place.
Charles Williams, of Aronlmlnk, has
announced his Intention of competing for
tho Gelst Cup next week nnd In other
tournaments here during September. This
is welcome news, as It Is felt that ln Will
iams Is the making of a star If he gets
the experience of a little tournament play
in his system.
tilllams tells a weird tale of his recent
experiences. He went to Altoona against
a fast field there. He tied for the medal,
and In the play-off lost when his opponent
holed out one of those pretty 40-foot
putts. He lost out In the finals likewise
when his opponent did the same trick,
after Williams had been up all the way.
Then ho went to Wllllamsport and missed
out ln breaking tho couisc record on a
short putt, and was trimmed for tho
championship cup when his man slipped
over a near-furlong putt for the 18th and
deciding hole. Williams feels, like many
other golfers, that n long putt, by an op
ppnent, should not count.
A novel tournament was played last
week at Maplenood, N". II. It was a
hay fever handicap golf contest. Anybody
that was liable to go off In a shower of
sneezes was a candidate for the prize.
Players were handicapped, first, according
to tho golf they showed, and, second, ac
cording to sneezes. Shots In the hay
or rather rough were particularly penal
ized. One of the mysteries of golf will al
ways be why the player moans so mucn
before the start of a match about how
poor his game Is and then when It is all
over ho Is glad to spend hours telling
how good he Is. And this even though In
many cases he has been seen ln action
by his hearers.

GOLF PLAYERS BECOME FAGGED OUT
BEFORE TITLE PLAY BEGINS, SAYS RICE
Anderson and Gardiner, Finalists at Detroit, Played
Less This Summer Than Any Other Contestants
in the Amateur Tournament
By GRANTLAND RICE
There were two more than Interesting
features connected with tho amateur Ktt
championship Just concluded at Detroit
two nmong many others. These Involve
the matter of preparation for such an
event the question as to whether or not
most contenders don't play themselves
out beforo the title stuff begins.
The two features we refer to Involve
Hob Gardner of Chicago, nnd John An
derson, of New York. All through this
summer Gardner has been playing very
Utile golf, most of It embracing n Sun
day round He mnde no preparation for
tho tournament, got to Detroit only one
day nhead, and In his first prnctlco round,
which ho played with Jerry Travers, was
at least 7 or 8 down.
Anderson played his Inst round of golf
nt Baltusrol hack In June Immediately
after thnt ho took chargo of a bojs" camp
In the Maine woods, and had no oppor
tunity to play a round from June to
within a few daa of the championship
opening when ho arrived In Detroit. For
nenrl three months he had gone without
any golf at nil.
In his first round over the Detroit
course Anderson took a W Yet Anderson
and Gardner, who hnvo played less golf
this summer than nny of the other con
testants, went smashing on through the
field until they clashed In the Saturday
final.
This may bo a freak of fate or It may
proc something. If It proves anything, It
Is thnt both came to the tournament
fieeh nnd keen for the week's outing nnd
thnt It Is far better to reach a tourna
ment In this frame of physical nnd men
tal being than It Is to overplay as no
many do and become farged after the
start.
One of the main features of the golf
championship was the work of Sherrlll
Sherman. No one had even figured him
with n chance In his first match against
Albert Seekel. Yet ho continued to step
along until ho upset the conqueror of Oul
met nnd reached the seinlftnnls merely
by playing steady, consist) nt golf without
nny particular thrills.
The time has passed ln American golf
when nny one or two num. or even nny
three or four men, can rule the field.
There nre now 10 or 15 golfers who may
beat miy of the champions at any time,
nnd ns each season comes it Is going to
he harder nnd harder to win a champion
ship. "A yenr or sn ago," said Jerry Travers,
"jou could always figure only one or
two men to beat you If you hnppcned to
meet them In the draw. About one hard
match was all thnt I ever worried nbout
knowing that In the other matches I
had only to play steady golf to win. But
those days are gone. You can't loaf on
nny match now, nnd this means thnt the
golfer who wins must start In fighting
for every hole from tho first clay.
"Any one of 10 or 12 men is liable at
any time to move around ln a 72 or 73,
and jou can't loaf any against any such
clfunce This means that to win n golfer
must be ln fine physical condition to
stand tho strain. The one wlo Isn't will
never go through, for he can't stand the
burden of fighting hard for six days
without a chance to loaf."
Tho same condition will soon exist In
tennis. There aro now two tennis play
ers rated well above any others They
aro McLoughlln nnd Williams. But the
youngsters are coming nlong, and In two
or three years there wilt b nt least a
dozen who will give either McLoughlln
or Williams alt he can handle, and make
a lawn tennis championship as uncertain
as golf which Is now edging toward a
toss-up.
Tho West has now given up hope of
seeing a world series set on Western soil.
The lied Sox are conceded tho pennant
In the American League, while only three
Eastern clubs havo a chance In the Na
tional. Through the West nmong leading
fans nnd ball ptn.ers tho opinion Is gen
eral that the Bed Sox nnd Phillies will be
tho two knle-gatherlng rlubs which, if
It should so happen, would constitute
nnother so-called world's record,
tast ear these same two cities were
represented, but by different teams, Bos
ton sent her Natlonnl League entry to
the scone, while Philadelphia was repre
sented by the American League. To hav
the same two citadels on tho big map
with the leagues reversed would be some
thing that has nover happened before ln
tho game nbout tho only thing that
hasn't happened that we can think of
Just now.
ROOTERS' CLUB PLANNING
GREAT THINGS FOR F1IILA.
If Moran Men Win Pennant Watch
the Pyrotechnics
Great things aro being planned by the
nooters' Club for tho Phillies' baseball
team. Five years of loyalty Is about to
be rewarded by tho capture of the Na
tional Lesguo pennant by tho home team,
and the Rooters' Club members are pre
paring to celebrate.
Harry P. Sauers Is the chief marshal
of tho Rooters' Club, which was organ
ized In 1910 by Ralph Bingham, Grant
Laferty, A. P. Wlttcman, James S. Mac
Cartncy, Chester l Ray, Fergus Mc
Cusker, Mr. Snuers, John P. Mulherln,
Jnmcs P. Nolnn and Frtd Dleck.
They were in tho memorable parade in
honor of the rejuvenation of tho Phillies
on April 15, 1910, and It was the club that
christened the home team the "Live
Wires," a name which Muck to them all
over the big league circuit. Now that
Pat Moran has ijlloted the tenm to a
good lead toward Pennnntvlllci the mem
bers of the Rooters' Club are planning to
celebrate properly the occasion.
