PUDOT ha Is. nd not much over Ave,
and a half feet Utl. On his pink, boylth
face rs blossomed Just the suspicion ot
a tolden down. He Is only 14 years old
and will te 1 In November. But he has
one something that no youth of his age
tvir accomplished In the history of solf
In this country.
Bobby Jones, the "child wonder" from
lhe Southland, was stacked up against the
elumpton of the United States at Merlon
over a grueling, double-round route, after
he had burst Into the third round of the
national championship.
Such a thln.fr adds n. new chapter to the
wonders of this unfolding modern era. The
triumphs of the midget marvel have nevtr
been equaled by n lad of his aee and It will
be many harvest times. If ever, before his
feat will be equaled.
The open-mouthed fans were flabber
gasted at the perfect timing, the balance,
the perfection of shots and all-around finish
of the boy's play. His whole game Is that
ef a star. More than half the hundreds
of golf fanatics gathered at the Haverfcrd
course trudged at the heels of the Infant
erodlgy. They liked his unaffected style.
the Doyisn way no nuuum. ncuw .- -when
he missed a putt, which was seldom,
and most of alt they liked his superb
courage.
N6ver Faltered
Bobby had to lick two champions to at
tain his proud standing today against the
It greatest of them all. Qaraner, me present
J champion. On the first day the little South-
erner trauopea 1,0 uyers, a. louun "'
champion, and considered to be one ot the
best match players In America. Byers' Is a
eteran who has twice bsaten Chick Evans,
and from his belt dangle the scalps of
scores of the foremost players In this
broad land. He was given all the faor
against Jones, but Bobby put the veteran
down and never gave him a chance. Yester
day Jones was put In the arena against
Frank Dyer, the metropolitan wizard, who
climbed over the best efforts of most of
the country's greatest pros In the recent
metropolitan open tourney, and whose work
In Knickerbrckervllle this season has given
him a high rating" as a possibility for the
national championship.'
Dyer went right out to settle this baby
terror of the Southland right off the bat.
He won five out of the first six holes Qf the
action. Jones blinked, smiled his sunny,
boyish smile and, not hurt or peeved by
the swiftness of the assault, Just hitched up
his breeches and sailed In.
At the quarter he was 2 down: at the
half he was all-square. Then came the
merry throng to view this Juvenile who
could play out of a black hole so easily
and unperturbed-like.
Bobby' extracted a distinct cry of amaze
ment from all nresent when he shot his
drive to open the afternoon round away
from the tee like a bullet out of a gun far
down the aisle.
He Is a free hitter.
The youthful enthusiasm wllh which he
throws his right shoulder Into the shot and
his perfect timing of the stroke get a world
of power behind the lunge. His iron play
Is very fine. He always gets his turf and
there Is a cleanliness about his work that
shows finished tutoring.
It does not matter what he does today
against Bob Cardner, America's champion.
Jones is n golfer who wilt nourish more as
he goes along. He has already attained
lasting fame. Ten years from now he will
still be a youngster. His golf is laid .on
si solid foundation. It will grow more firm
with each year. He has a rosy, glorious
future In American golf.
The Chick Evans-Johnny Anderson
match stands out as the other treat match
today at Merlon. There will be fireworks.
These two mastodons of the American links
have met twice in battle. Evans is now
open American champion. Anderson was
the finalist In the amateur championship
last year. Anderson bea( Chick once at
Garden City, 3 and 2.
Chick Worked Up
To Chick Evans the match meant his
hopes of winning the amateur crown, a
proud honor he has striven for years In
vain to accomplish.
To Anderson It meant the evening of his
score against the player considered abroad
as America's greatest, and it meant his
hopes, too, of taking for his own the crown
which was snatched from his grasp last
year at Detroit when his fingers had almost
closed on It.
Every good golflng Inhabitant of the
Quaker City exists today with bated breath
to learn the fate of Cameron Buxton, local
champion, favorite son and defending
gladiator of the city's honors. If he comes
through his all-day session he will meet the
winner of the Anderson-Evans match to.
morrow In the semifinals. To place a )6cat
In the semifinals for the national golf cham
pionship Is almost glory enough for Phila
delphia, which has only qualified one roan,
up to the present tourney, In the last two
years.
This year five qualified and Buxton has
reached the third round.
He won his match yesterday In thrilling
. style from George Small. He was dormle
2. but when he put Tils ball In the trap to
1 the right of the difficult seventeenth things
did not look so cheerful for the Phlladel
pnlsn, particularly as Small was on the
1 edgs of the green. But Buxton pitched out
and was 10 feet away. Long he studied his
1 putt, then walked up to it and bottled Jt
j over the long run Just as neatly as could be.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden. Aug. 18 (by mall).
The American soccer team, which Is tour
ing the Scandinavian countries, played ltt
second game of the tour In tho Olympic Sta
dium at Stockholm before a crowd of 20,000
spectators, among ewho was tho King of
Sweden. His royal highness, at the close
of the game, expressed great ndmlratlon for
the American players arid their clean meth
ods. Tho game ended In a draw, at 1 to 1.
Wo were the Hrst on the Meld, arriving
shout 6: SO c'clock The long twilight makes
It possible for sports of every nature to he
played here until late In tho evening. We
were opposed by a team selected from
among the leading players of Sweden, called
the Tigers. After the home team caino on
the Held we paraded before the King, and
the cheering nnd applauso lasted fully IB
minutes. After posing for photographs the
match began
Kor the first 10 or 15 minutes the Tigers
had us on the defensive, only the splendid
playing of "Dick" Spauldlng, of Philadel
phia, preventing n, score. The Tacony full
back broko up the fine passing attack of
the Swedish team time and again.
After this tho American team began to
work together, nnd SB minutes from tlmo
Cooper carried the ball down the wing and
passed to Dledcrlckscn, who shot wide.
Both teams misled several hard shots dur
ing the remainder of the half, which ended
without score.
At the outset of the second half we be
gan to press. In the first five minutes Clark
and Hemlnsley shot wide from about 20
yards out. Tho Tigers' defense was tested
thoroughly during tho next quarter hour,
but held Its own In splendid fashion. Rob
ertson dropped tho ball squarely Into the
net from about 30 yards out, but the Sweden
goal made a wonderful save.
Speaker and Cobb Each Lose
Point; Jackson Gains Three
WHILE Speaker and Cobb were
losing ground, Joo Jackson took
occasion to add three points to his
.360 average nnd creep up on the
lenders. Speaker made one hit out
of four, Cobb ono out of five nnd
Jackson three out of four. St Louis
outfielders robbed Cobb out of thrco
extra-base drives. Speaker leads

AL-EXAXDISIl," wrltei a bystander, In
. nocent or otherwise, "already has
pitched U ehut-outs. Before the eeaaon Is
oer he undoubtedly will add twp more,
smashing all hut-out records by four g-amei.
Shouldn't thla be listed s the greatest
pitching feat ever established In any one
year?"
Aa wonderful an achievement a this Is,
we doubt that any one man can be alen
credit for outranking alt other for a, single
year's work.
Here, for example, are four cases within
the last IS years to be entered In any such
ranking!
1. Chesbro, Jn 1904, won ii games.
Compare that record with atar pitchers to
day winning from 20 to 26, or 30 at the
most.
5. Matheu-ann. In 190B. won 38 games
and then pitched three world's series shut
outs. Considerable achievement 1
3. VA Walsh, In 1908, pitched In 7
games. He won 40 nnd sacd at least 10
more.
4. Joe Wood, In 1912, won JS games out
of 38 starts.
To pitch 18 ah'itouts In one year Is auper
brilliant work. But the above Incidents
ahow how hard It Is to pick one man above
the Held over a 20-year span figuring only
one season's work.
The Shut-out King
In ono way Alexander's mark tops the
field. A pitcher may win many games
where he has pitched poorly or with only
fair ability. He may win games by scores
such as 7 to 6 or 9 to 8.
But when a man delUers a shut-out there
Is no question as to the earned Increment.
By pitching so many, shut-outs Alexander
has proved an ability beyond any present
competition. '
There Is no question now that he Is the
greatest pitcher In the game today.
Where the Trouble Wns
George W Adair, the Atlanta golfer, tells
of a new fault discovered In a certain
plnyer.
He had been having trouble with his game
for some time. Finally, he called over a
veteran golfer, a well-known physician, to
see where the fault lay.
The older golfer made the patient take
several swings. He made him play shots
with each club. ,
After watching for any physical fault
several m'.nutes. the veteran merely said:
Take oft your hat." The hat was removed.
"I thought so." said the physician. "Your
swing Is all right Tho trouble with you Is
In the shape of your head."
Work and Play
Last fall we were playing a round ot golf
with George Church, the tennis star. "Golf."
he said, "is n lot of tun. Tennis Is great,
but It's hard work."
After a golf championship Francis Oulmet
played tennis for n while. "I like golf," he
said, "but a championship wears you nut.
Now, tennis Is merely fun."
The other fellow's game and the other
fellow's Job are always the easiest THere
Is very little real fun In any game where
you are fighting to lead the field.
Among Thcmsehcs
Boatoh, Brooklyn and ths Phillies will
settle this pennant among themselves.
Which Is to say, the games they stilt have
left with each other will be the conclusive
test
This has been the factor that yanked
Brooklyn back at such speed. In the pinch
the depressed Bob Ins found themselves un
able to stand Up before Boston and tha
Phils, clubs with which they still have eight
games. Which makes It seem that the
Braves and Phillies are to settle the ulti
mate crown In their remaining contests.
For all three 1' astern clubs, Boston and the
Phillies especially, are likely to win about
the same number of games from the four
Western teams.
"Is pace setting In baseball." asks a read
er, "anything like pace setting In a, horse
racel"
Very much. Pace setting In one sport
Is about the same as pace setting In any
other sport. Whatever the contest, the
front runner carries the handicap of know
ing his rival Is pounding along In easy
reach, where a slip means disaster. And
the entry coming from behind knows about
what he has to do, while the front runner
Is guessing, working with a broken concen
tration. Boston and Philadelphia
Boston and Philadelphia are world's series
twins. They have been represented tn
championship contests, one or the other, for
six of the last seven years. They have
had seen pennant winners between them
since 1909. ,
And now for 1916 they have no pennant
contenders left except the Phillies, the
Braves and the Bed Sox. Tough luck.

The Real Thing in Motors
y
Ride in a Willys-Knight.
You don't know the real
thing until you've had
this experience.
Don't judge it by any
other car.
There's nothing with
which to compare it.
The silent powerful
smoothness of the
Willys-Knight motor
is a thing to marvel at
it simply revolution
izes any previous no
tion you may have had
about how smooth and
soft a motor could be.
You can't possibly real
ize what it means un
til you try it.
You simply wouldn't
have anything else
after you know what
it means.
See us today.
