Schwab Orates on Golf
Charles M. Schwab, who operates tha
Bethlehem Steel Company, a secluded ftpot
whero Is turned out ono of tho largest
crops of munitions nnd armor plato In tho
country, tnado an oration nt tho function In
connection with tho golden Jubllco of Le
high University nt South Bethlehem oi Sat
urday. ,
Ills oration 'consisted mostly of a de
fense of his game of golf, which ho wns
called upon to mako becauso of tho Joko
that had just been mado on him by Bishop
Ethclbcrt Talbot, who was tho first speaker,
Tho Bishop said that ho had played with
Schwab tho day hoforo at tho Lehigh
Country Club.
"Wo played under special dispensation,"
said tho Blsliop. "The agroement was that
If ho got In a bunker ho could Bay nny
thlng ho liked nnd could forgot that I was a
Bishop. Ho got In ono thd first thing and
took seven to get out. But ho didn't make
uso of hla dispensation."
Schwab denied this.
"Tho Bishop didn't hear what I said. I
took caro to that," ho said.
Bishop Caught Red-handed
Then Schwab got back nt Bishop Talbot
with this Btory, which ho told with great
g'eo to tho largo commencement throng.
"At ono of the teo-grounda tho Blnhop
was making passes at his ball fully three
feet In front of the markers," laughed tho
speaker. "I turned my back, but another
man rushed up. 'Bishop,' ho protested,
'don't you know you'ro not allowed to drive
oft In front of the markers?' Tho Bishop
mado no move to put tho ball back, and tho
man continued to object. 'Aro you all
through?' asked tho Bishop, finally. 'Put It
back,' said the man. 'I have played from
the tee,' nnskered the Bishop. 'This Is my
third shot' "
M GOLF IS GAME REQUIRING
1
i
BOTH COURTESY AND '.HONOR
WITHthe opening of the municipal course
at Cobb's Creek Park any man, woman
or child in Philadelphia may play golf for
the nominal Bum of $1 a year. It Is tho
anejt outdoor sport yet devised, is in no
iy Injurious or harmful, and unllko other
porta it Is an absolutely Individual game.
Cos player Is not aided by others, and his
tuccess or failure depends entirely upon
his own efforts.
The royal and ancient game of golf Is
centuries old, and the rules which govern
it are laid down by tho Royal and Ancient
Golf Club of St. Andrews, Scotland, and tho
United States Golf Association. It has
roariy' curious and strango terms, some of
them centuries old, and the rules often are
puullng.
The object of this series of articles la to
Interpret Uio terms and rules so they will
be understood by those who aro taking up
rolf for the first time, and at the samo tlmo
correct wrong Lmpreaslona of golfers who.
for soma reason or other, havo contused
medal and match play.
It might be well to state at tho outset
tht golf Is a game requiring both courtesy
and honor. In baseball, football, tonnls and
In all other outdoor 'sports there aro ref-
erccB nnd umpires to decide certain points.
Tho baseball player who slides to second
nnd knows that ho has been tngged has
nothing to say if tho umplro says ho Is
safe In football tho tackle may bo off
side, but It Is up to tho official to see tho
Infraction. But in golf all theso questions
aro decided by the players themsches. If
you break a rule you do not wait tor your
opponent to remind you of It.
If tho ball moves after you have taken
your stanco you know that It is a stroke,
and oven if ypur opponent Is away In tho
distance you count It as a stroke. Golf nt
times may bring out somo of the worst
traits of a player, but after the golfer
has been playing for a short time It is
surprising how readily tho true sportsman
ship of tho playor Is displayed. Thp things
you recognise as all right in other sports
you know are -all wrong In golf.
Rooting and cheering are nil right In
baseball and football but not in golf. There
is no "goat getting," When tho other man
Is playing thero Is absolute silence.' Noth
ing ever Is clone to disconcert tho other
player and tf there ever was a game that
Is a gentleman's recreation that game Is
golf.

ATHLETICS NOT
DISCOURAGED BY
LOSS OF GAMES
Young Mackmen Are, on the
Other Hand, Gluttons
for Punishment
JOE BUSH TODAY
By R0I3ERT W. MAXWELL
ST. LOUIS, Mo., Juno G. Desplto tho
loss of a pnlr of ball eames In thli swelter
ing' city, tho Athletics nro not disheartened
nnd the players nro confident of turning tho
tables on tho Browns today. It's pretty
tough to drop a coupto of battles In a row
by the slender margin of ono point, hut
the Mackmen nro giuttoni for punishment
and aro getting uscl to It by this time, any
way. Bullet Joo Bush Is Connlo'a selection for
today's conflict and probnbly will oppose
Kddlo Planlt, that sterling youngster from
Gettysburg, pn. Eddlo has beon suftorlng
from a wounded salary wing of late, but It
Is now considered well enough to tako n fall
out of tho visitors. It's nn awful slam nt
our homo talent to select n one-armed guy
to beat them, but tho Athletics nre consid
ered n Jolto horo, 'In spite of tho fact that
they nro playing great ball and will con
tlnuo to play great ball throughout tho sea
son. Athletics Game
AH tho world loves a winner, but we al
ways pause and talto oft our lints to tho
fighter. Connlo Mack hasn't shown us n
winning bunch us yet, but he surely hns n
gang of scrappers on his payroll. Thoso
youngsters nro fighting every mlnuto of tho
game, and In tho ninth Inning havo just ns
much spirit na In the llrst. They don't know
the meaning of tho word "defeat," desplto
tho many roversos this year.
Still Connlo was on tho level with the
fans when tho season began. When nskoil
for n stntemont on the chances of his ball
club, he was tho only manager In tho two
big lengues who did not confess his team
would win tho pennnnt. Instead, he said
ho had n young ball club which looked
weaker than tho others, nnd could sco "noth
ing but last place. Connie ndmlttcd, how
over, that soon his club would bo "up
thero fighting," and believed that tho time
would como when the senson was about
half over.
Outctdo of tho pitching, the Athletics nro
going good right now. With Myors or
Bush In tho box they resemble anything
but a tall-end nggrcg.Uton, and will keep
up the good work whtn the other twlrlers
got Into shnpo. Sheehan la rapidly round
ing Into form. Nahora soon will bo nblo
to tako his turn; Wyckoft sooms to bo In
first-class trim and Crowell Is getting better
every day.
Can't Fool Them
Tho tall professor from Brown Univer
sity has been up ngnlnst It this year. Ills
overhand dcllvory has not fooled the op
posing batsmen, who overlooked the bad
ones and slammed tho good ones all ovor
tho lot. In other words, Crowoll haB not
been nble to keep tho other fellow guess
ing. Thero Is hope, however, nnd the hopo
came In n. game In Now York Inst' week,
when six men wero passed In tho first
Inning. The overhand delivery was an de
ceiving as the parcel post and the Yankees
put on a regular walking match. Suddenly
Crowoll began to send over n few strikes,
and It was noticed' that when ho did this ho
used a side-arm motion.
Between innings Conne Mack called the
pitcher's attention to n change In hjs de
livery, nnd told him to use the now ono
when ho wanted to throw n strike. This
was done, and tho Yanks found It difficult to
get freo passes and safe hits.
Crowoll now Is working on tho side-arm
stuff, and when he mastijrs It ho should bo
ono of tho .best pitchers in tho club.
There belnjr no narafle or circus In town, the
mannrement has decided to hold a "ladlea" day
thla afternoon. The fair rooters will be admitted
fre. but their escorts must cay toll at tha
sate.
Harry Davis, the Buffalo Dill of the Mackmen.
packed his raise whiskers nnd turn shoes In a
grip last nhrht and started a scoutlnc trip.
As he refused to divulge his destination. It Is
belloed that ho Is on a secret mission.
More than 10,000 bugs turned out to the Sab
bath ball tame yesterday. A couple of victories
for the homo club helps considerably In this
town.
Lawton Witt has made a great Impression
here and the scribes are uslne up lots of spare
on tho "kid wonder." Yesterday tha southful
shortstop opened up with a triple and was robbed
of two other hits by the brilliant catches In tho
outfield.
According" to a newspaper yarn, Ilarney Drey
fuss said ho wouldn't take Oeorgs Hlssler If tha
brilliant first sacker were awarded to him.
Neither will T. It, taka the nomination for l'rea.
Ident U slipped to him In Chicago next Wednes.

Duplicates Feat of Mrs.
Raymond in Taking All
the Events
Ry WILLIAM T. TILDEN, 2D
It jieems as If defeat la Bomcthlntr Molln
BJurstcdt, our now Pennsylvania Stnto ten
nis champion, knows nothing of. In fact,
from nil Indications, It Is Bomothlng that no
woman In America can teach her, for Miss
UJurstodt standi out pre-eminent from all
our tennis ntnra
Last Snturdaj nt srcrlon, Miss BJurstcdt,
aided nnd nbettcd by Miss Scars In the
doubles nnd Mr. Tllden In tho mixed, fell
upon and annlhltntcd two Innocent and tin
suspecting teams, Scores, 6-0, 5-l In tho
doubles, O.t, G-2 In tho mixed. Truo, In
both events. Miss BJurstcdt had nble and.
In tho case of Miss Scars, brilliant support.
But, for nil that, It was tho Norse girl
who won tho matches by her own remark
ablo play.
Molln BJurstcdt Is tho Rrcatost oxponont
of women's singles In the world today.
Thero 1b little need to mention an asser
tion even its sweeping as that, after seeing
her piny. She Is supreme. Ilcr gamo Is
well rounded, nt once brilliant and stendy,
n most unusual combination As a doubles
player nnd also in mixed, while decidedly
abovo tho average. Miss BJurstcdt Is not tho
ono great artist In these lines. Sho is not
tho court general In doubles that cither
Mrs. Oeorga AVlghtman 'or Miss Mary
Broivno Is. Sho lacks tho keen volley shot
necessary to bo truly great. Tlicn, again,
sho thinks and plays In terms of singles,
a bad fault In doubles. But, for nil that,
Molla BJurstcdt reigned supromo at Merlon,
and will reign ngaln at tho Philadelphia
Club this week. May It be a long tlmo be
fore wo say, "Tho queen Is dead; long llvo
tho queen!" ,
Tho entry list at tho Philadelphia club
for tho women's national tournament, which
starts today. Includes tho nnmes of many
of our lending players. Unfortunately, tho
West has not sent us tho usual array of
talont, but among tho eastern entrants aro
Mrs, IMward Raymond, who, ns Louise

Cnn Bob Simpson, the University of

record holder for topping tho high harriers

That Is n question that was put to lev

Simpson within tho next year will set inarlts
for both the high nnd low hurdle rnces that
will stnnd tho teat for years to como.
It Is worth rblntlng how Simpson came
to be the hurdler that ho Is lie did It by
studying the pictures of Fred Kelly's form.
That Kelly Is tho personification of grnco In

AVcst ns the equal Of Kelly. In tho raco at
tho exposition Simpson was outclassed by
both Kelly nnd Fred Murray and he hrtd tho
tlmo ot his young llfo In hentlng out Kirk
Patrick. Simpson's trouhlo wns Inch of
hurdle form. Ho seemed to bo afraid of
hitting tho hurdles and went too high In
tho nlr Kvcry tlmo he enmo to a hurdlo
ho seemed to hesitate nnd leap high. In.
stead ot coming down off tho hurdlo ho
floated along In tho nlr.
Simpson Showed Poor Form
Kollyand Murray chopped over their hur
.dies, shaving them so closo thnt thoy al
most appeared to sit on them. Kelly, In fact,,
was so closo that ho knocked down threo of
tho hurdles and thorcforo suffered disquali
fication. Kelly and Murray leap so closo
to tho hurdlo that they would brush a
inntch stick off. It wns different with
Simpson Thero was a liberal stretch of
daylight between him nnd tho hurdles. Tho
result was that while Simpson was hnxlng
n glorious tlmo In tho nlr Kelly and Murray
wero going nwny from him.
Rvory newspaper In San Francisco specu
Intcd on what Simpson could do If ho ran
over the hurdles like tho Callfornlnns, This
sot Simpson to thinking. Ho had performod
well In tho Mlddlo West, oon though It
was his first year nt hurdling, but ho nover
had mot such class before. Previous to tho
race Simpson was extremely nervous. Ho
didn't sleep the night before nor did he cat
on tho day of tho race. But the race Itself
comlnccd Simpson that ho was Just begin
ning to learn how to hurdle nnd that his
form needed altorlng. rtesults show ho
has changed his style for tho better.
Studies Photographs
Tho first thing ho did nfter tho raco was
to get photographs of Kelly In notion" and
study them. Ho spent threo hours going
over tho photographs, assisted by Hal
Smith, tho Michigan captain; Bachman,
tho Notre Damo wclghtman, nnd Arlio
Mucks, tho Wisconsin weight throwor, Tho
four mndo a critical examination of the
photographs nnd studied out where Simp
son's form differed from Kelly's and what
Simpson should do to acqulro Kelly's form.
When the party broko up Simpson said sim
ply, "I'vo got tho Idea. When I go back to
Kansns I will put up a hurdlo on the farm
nnd prnctlco tho rest of tho summer."
SjmPson not only has acquired Kelly's
form but ho Is outdoing tho Cnllfornlan.
Ho also Is putting on weight and it won't
bo long before it will be said of him that
ho has developed along tho same lines as
Kelly and Murray. '

A law that holds the realm in thrall
T7iot cit(j Us message down the world
"Fight on or fall."
Turn to tho dreams that peace shall send,
And dreaming, hear an old-time songs

A New One v.
We ran Into a now golf alibi a day or two
ago. A golfer came In with a score about
10 stromes above what ho deemed his nor
mal game. "It was the greens," ho said,
"that got my goat. I couldn't putt." He
was entered In a tournament on a strange
course.
"What's tho matter with tho greens?"
somo ono asked; "too fast or too slow?"
"Nolther." ho said;, "they were perfect.
But I've been used to putting all spring on
bum greens and so I was under a big han
dicap horo."

When thoy tore into Washington for flvo

switched their dope.
