Uy CHARLES (CHICK) EVANS
British golf has suffered much from
tho casualties of war, but ono of tho
sharpest blows fell when John Graham,
Jr., of tho Hoynl Liverpool Golf Club,
captain of tho Liverpool Scottish Regi
ment, was killed on tlio overling of Juno
13, 1915, nt Hoogc, near Ypres.
Ho had been called tho unlucky golfer,
for although for many years ho had
ranked among tho best golfers of Brit
ain, ho had never won O10 British
amateur championship. Whether It wcro
good luck, or 111 link, to dlo early In
theso terrible days of carnage nnd do.
ttructlou may bo u question that only
timo can answer; but If It wore unlucky
his evil l'ortuno puiFiieil him uvhi In
that magnificent ihurgu of tho Liver
pool Scottlsli. Ho was ono of tho tlrst
to volunteer when his country needed
him, und In tho terrible slaughter near
Ypres ho ma do tho supremo sacrifice
But it la not within tho scopo of this
article to consider him ns tho patriot
that ho assuredly was. but as tho great
est golfer In tho world, as I bellovo him
to bo.
Born Player of Games
John Graham was born at Liverpool
of Scottish parcntn. His homo for n
long tlmo overlooked tho Hovlako, and
ho began his golf young, Henry Leach
says "ho was u born player of games "
Ho was only nineteen vcars old when
ho played In tho British championship
at Sandwich for tho first tlmo, and was
defeated In the semifinals by Hilton,
nnd this marked the first of five seml
llnal defeats In tho British amateur.
Ho won tho St Oeorgo vaso twice. In
1904 nnd again In lOtl, when we Amer
icans eaw him do It so wonderfully.
(This competition In n medal event
Played Just beforo tlio British amateur
ut Sandwich.)
Ho played In every International
match fr-m the beginning In 1002 to tlio
last tlmo In lull, and waa only beaten
twice. Ha never won th Biltish open,
but four times bo was tho first ama
teur to qualify In tho final lists, und
tho very first tlmo ho entered tlio event
ho broke tho recoid of tho Mulrllold
courso with a 71.
Greatest Amateur Golfer
I count Captain Graham tho greatest
amateur golfer I havo ever seen play, It
Is natural to ask why In vlow of tho
fact that although he went far, ho was
never able to win tho chief prizes In
British golf. Tho answer Is Dimply
this: livery complete success In a
""-nament has an clement of luck at
tending It a good draw, a venuo Milled
to a special game. Indisposition on the
part of opponents, countless little things
may tnablo a man to win a tltlo with a
mediocre game then again poorly etc.
cuted shots may receive an unearned
advantage. They may barely cscapo tho
penalty that was their due, they may
roll and kick Into a llo that their player
could not select. Tournaments, llko ex
aminations, are tho best meth d nt our
disposal for determining rank, but they
aro an Imperfect mean?, and tho real
test must be the u vera go tesult of n
mali'u efforts.
Hud No Weak Poinls
Captain Graham's flno rounds wcro
tho result of btjillng golf a well-balanced
control of the game. Ho was 11
good driver nnd Ida long lions wcro
marvcloualy executed. Ills wholo gamo
waa good, and the extraordinary preci
sion of his bhot.-i tilled mo with admira
tion. Tho man who could reach tho
British amateur semifinals flvo times
only ono American has ccr 1 cached
them at till has tho gamol Luck
might have pulled him through, but In
the llrUiMi amateur with Its flno field
of players thero can bo no such luck
In tho draw, as could bo seen so fre
quently a few years baek In tlio Ameri
can iliampionshlp. Grnham'ii failures
wero ficquently a complete eollapso fol
lowing a partlculatly lino round, und
It ulmply meant too slight .1 physique
fir tho long-drawn-out test of u tourna
ment. I havo seen a most pathetic plc
turo of him In tho last championship
match In which ho ever played. It was
with Hvcrard Martin-Smith nt Sand
wich when wo wcro nil thcro In those
happy weeks beforo tho war. In that
plcturo Graham's weakened condition Is
touchlngly evident.
It Is good to know that Jack Graham
Won tllf Ut. lleorrrt v:ifi,t t.v m.i"ntHrnnt
fgolf in tho prelude of tho laht British
I championship, when wo wire nil thero
I to see It and to rejoice in-his gicatness.
It was Henry I.cncli who said in speak
ing of Graham that ho hoped that "when
the peaceful pastimes como to bo prac
ticed onco again that ut last after bo
much weary waiting the honors of
championship will fall to his deserving
lot."
Hy GRANTL
TN discussing hold-over championship
A titles through tho war, did It ever
occur to you, Gcntla or Hough Header,
how many of tho Vndcr Dogs emerged
for tho long term of nfllec'.' ,
This hni been ono of tho Interesting
features of the war tenure In sport, for
more than u few caino from tho rut
Just In tlmo to reach tho top when com
petition was abruptly checked, leaving
their titles Intact.
Polo First
Tako polo for a starter, Great Brit
1I11, having been beaten, mado 1111 In
effectual loutitcr charge. It began to
look as If our I'nclo Sum Was to reign
supreme, when Britain made n last as
sault In tho t,ummer or m unu re
gained tho polo top.
Tills left Britain In polo control,
holding tho ttophy during tho length
of tho war.
Tho upset camo Just ut tho moment
whero America was blocked at any roun-tcr-attack,
us tho first big guns echoed
a few weeks later, calling an or uni-1

Of 'that great Hngllsh polo team, vlr.

Then came America's lawn tennis overthrow-

But tho eland was mado In vain, for 1

One Answer
If nny one desires. to know when you
think tho war will end, you can't possi
bly do better than to .quoto from Colonel
Khayyam:
"Karth coulit not answer, iter the Seas
that mourn,
lit flowing purple, of their Lord forlorn;
or roUino Heaven, ictth all hh signs re-
vral'd
And hidden by the tlccvo of Xlaht and

ion 1 cry lar away.
