JOHNREID, FIRST GOLF
PRO IN PHILADELPHIA,
MADE A HOLE IN ONE
'Accomplished Feat at Philadelphia Country Club in
1895 First Tournament Was Won by One-Handed
Player When 42 Wat Considered Good for 9 Holes
Ity KOI.I...T W. MAXWELL
Sports Editor KicnliiK Public Ledger
THE gnme of golf Is getting more popular every dny. The Amcricnn public
Is tnklng n grcntcr interest In it, thousands tire playing whenever they
get n chnnce nnd right now there nrc upproxlmately thirty-live country clubs
In and around Philadelphia packed to capacity wltA piuture uthlctcs ranging
from the ages of fifteen to sixty, nil eager, nnxious nnd willing to step out
and play eighteen holes, not so much for the wonderful scores they might
make, but for tho exercise. That is what makes golf popular. The player
kids himself Into playing eighteen holes, nnd before he realizes it he has been
out In the open for three hours and walked at least six miles. I
However, tho popularity of golf did not conic in a day, a week or a Month
OT n year. It took lots of time to convince the dear old public that chnslng
the pill around the pasture was a man's job, whether the pill was discovered
or not. The athletes took to tho game gradually, until now it Is almost Im
possible to find parking space on any Bolf course on Saturdays, Sundays or
holfdays.
' Once upon n time the game was not so popular, fewer persons were play
ing it, nnd it Is of tho-e olden days that we are writing today. In 1805
there was only one real golf course, a nine-hole links nt tho Philadelphia
Country Club. There wns another at Devon Inn, but this was a sort of sum
mer resort and few of the guests knew what it was all about. From that
number to thirty-live in twenty-six years shows how the garao has grown.
The other day c United (iulph Mills, one of the most beautiful courses
In the country. It is situated at (Iulph Mills, but outside of that all we can
say Is it is ou Montgomery pike. It is a well-kept, sporty course, the greens
are in excellent condition and one of the most famous golf professionals is on
tho job. His name is John Held, and ho is known to more golf players in
Philadelphia than nny other man in his profession.
John wns the first professional golf player to set his feet on a Philadel
phia golf links. He stands nlone as the pioneer tho man who blazed tho
trail which has been followed by hundreds. Keid has been with us off and
on for more thnn twenty-six jears, and he now is most proficient in his
work. Nobody knows how to handle the greens better than he, and when it
comes to teaching the game he is in n class by himself.
nUlD has had quite a career and knows the history of Philadelphia
A golf backuard. He has taught many champions, has laid out
ioim rnursrs nnd made a name for himself that places him in tho
forcmoit rank. Gulph Mills
man in its employ.
One-Handed Player Won First Tournament
ORDINAKILY, John is not loquacious, but wo found him, fortunately, in
a conversational mood. We learned all about the Philadelphia Country
Club, the firi-t tournament held here and the name of the man who made
the first hole in one shot.
Keid hails from Musselburgh. Scotland, the home of many golf ptos. He
was assistant to Willie Park, and after serving his time as instructor and
clifb maker decided to try his luck lu America. He had little hopes of landing
ft golf job, but felt he wns n good carpenter and could work at his trade to
keep from starving to death. Ho landed in New York on April 12, 1S03, and
looked around for n job. The first place he visited was Spalding's, nnd there
he met Charley Cox, the manager. Cox told him there was a position open
In Philadelphia and he could get it. He came here, went out to the Country
Club and went to work on April 17, five days later.
There were no $10,000 jobs In those days. A golf pro received the
munificent salary of $40 a month nnd received fifty cents for each lesson when
he could get it. All he had to do was take care of the greens, fairways, locker
room, teach and keep on good terms with the members. After that was done
he had time to loaf.
"The Country Club," said Held, "was situated then on the same site it
now occupies. Tho course was different, however, nnd there were only nine
holes. Tho first wns down the lawn from the clubhouse, toward tho Falls.
There was a hazard a stono wall Ubcd nt odd moments for horses to jump
over. The second was a blind hole, 145 yards, over a fifteen-foot hedge, nnd
crossed a road to the corner of the woods. From thcro we played through
the polo field, and tHtco holes were on the site, of Woodslde Park. The greens
were forty feet square and nobody kicked about crab grass. They never heard
of it then.
"The ball used was the old gutta-percha bean bag, and the best scoto
while' I was there was a 4! for nine holes, made by Dr. Charles Claxton, of
Germantowu. The doctor, however, plajed the game in Port Hash, Ireland,
before coming here. ijl
"In thonc dajs the principal members were John C. Bullitt, president;
Llewellyn Harry, J. Franklin McFadden. George D. Fowle, Isaac T. Starr,
E. II. McCullough, Lewis A. Hilcy, Robert E. Hastings, Dr. Alexander
Biddlc. Louis A. Blddle, A. Sidney Carpenter and E. C. Knight.
"I never will forget the first tournament ever held in Philadelphia. It
was for eighteen holes nnd the entry list was not so large. The morning of
the raateh I was walking down Chestnut street and met A. Sidney Carpenter,
I asked him If he would be out in the afternoon, nnd he shook his head.
" 'I would like to piny,' he said, 'but my hand is sore and I enn't
hold n club.'
" 'Nonsense,' said I, 'Come out nnd play with one hand.'
"MIfi
CARPEXTER came out,
first Philadelphia tournament.
First Man to Make Hole in One in Philadelphia
f"NE of the things I distinctly remember," he continued, "was n game I
V- played with Percy C. Madeira in 1S05. I got a good drive off tho tee
for that 145-yard second hole, cleared the hedge, crossed the road and tho
ball sailed toward the corner of the woods. I paid no more attention to it
until I heard some of the workmen clapping their hands and shouting. Then
I Investigated.
"The ball was not in s&ht when I nearcd the green and I asked one of
the men if he had seen it. The man grinned and pointed to the cup. I looked,
and there wnH the ball. I had made the holo in one. and I have been told
that it was the first time it was done In Philadelphia."
"How many other holes in one have you made?" we asked.
"This was the only one in my life, and I have played for thirty jears,"
was the reply. "That's a thrill that comes once in a lifetime, und I have
hnd it. Also I am satisfied, although I would like to do it again. But let
mc tell you some more old-time stuff.
"In those days w got all of our clubs from England. Sometimes the
shipments were delujed and the members grew impatient. One day I decided
to make some clubs nnd wont to 1'alrraount Park and cut down n cherry tree.
The experiment was not a success, however, for thp wood wns too soft."
In this Held differs from fleorge Washington, because be hnd a reason
when he cut down the (hcrry tree.
"Now take a look at tlien greens," said John, as ho waved his hand
sweeping!- around the (Julph Mills course. "They are fairly good, but not
as good as they will be in another mouth. Now wo hnve soil experts, many
workmen, patent sprinklers and things like that. In the old days wo had to
carry buckets of water from a spring when wo wanted to sprinkle tho greens,
and I tell you it was hnrd work. I remember I had to do it to the Hunt
ingdon Valley course after I laid it out."
Held, has laid out many courses. In addition to tho Country Club and
Huntingdon Valley, he fixed up Frankford. Philmont, Aronlmink, Llancrch,
Overbrook, Wilmington Country Club, Northfield at Atlantic City, Lnneaster,
Beading, Richmond, Scrauton and Fox Hills Country Club. He has trav
eled all over. He went to Gulph Mills last April.
,
tt HAVE taught many plnyirs," said Keid befora tee left, "but the
one I am most proud of is Mrs. Caleb For. She has been a top.
notchcr for years and has a bettir rerord Chan any man noio playing
the game."

PHILLIES CONTINUE
BRILLIANT PLAYING
Break Cardinals' Streak by
Thrilling Performance Hub
bell's Great Pitching
SIX HITS ENOUGH TO WIN
"Discipline nnd the old fight nro the
prerenul"ltc, I demand from mv plnv
crs," said Irvin "Knlscr" "Wilhelm,
the newest manngcr of the Phillies, com
menting on tho recent playing of his
charges. "They arc the two virtues a
plajcr must have If he wants to suc
ceed In the great game of baseball. I
nlways followed the rules myself and
without driving or nagging expect my
players to do the same. They hold good
in nny league nnd make or break a
plner.
"Twenty-three years In baseball
have taught me many, many things, but
tho most Important I think are thoe I
hnve nlrcady mentioned. The man who
does as he Is told, and the player who
gets out there and gives nil he has
every minuto of the game Is the suc
cessful baseball player all the time, no
matter wlmt league ho is in."
Judging by tho playing of the re
juvenated Phillies In yesterday's dnu-blc-header
with the Cardlnnlt Wilhelm
must have inculcated into them some of
his own fighting instincts and love of
discipline. The spirit that wni lacking
when the locals were recovering from
injuries nnd were in a miserable slump
has manifested itself during the Inst
ten dajs as never before this season.
Yesterday was a tvplcal day. The play
ers fought from the start of the game.
In the second game when the visitors
had a lead of seven to nothlnz thev
lnttcl until the last mm wns jut and
came within the proverbial ace of tying
tne scoro nnd oven winning tne con
test When a tenm wins a tmfcball game on
six hits, while the opposition it set
ting thirteen, nnd also comes within a
run of overcoming n seven-run lend it
must have some of the stuff that 'Wil
helm likes bo much.
Leo King Stars.
Smiling Dill Ilubbell, with n stout
heart and a nimble brain, twirled the
I'hils to a victory In a gamo replete
with thrills in the opener, nnd put an
end to the winning streak of the Cardi
nals, which hnd reached eight.
Ilrilliant work afield by the Mills
kept the fans at n high ultch through
out the opener. "Cy" AVllliams, with
his long stride, covered acres of the
greensward on three occasions, and
brought down flies that would have been
sure hits with nine out of ten out
fielders cavorting in center.
It remained for Leo King, the left
field guardian, to pull the thriller of
tho nfternoon. It occurred in the eighth
inning. Dr. Lnvan, who also plays
shortstop for tho Cards, hit one on a
bee line for the left-field bleachers. At
tho crack of the bat King leaned against
thq wall, waiting for the pellet. As
It soared toward him and when juBt
ocr his head, the former Giant leaned
far back and jumped. The ball stuck
squarely in bis glove in the lap of a
bleacherite. Ah King came down he col
lided with the wnll and rolled over
nnd over. He gamely held tho ball
for tho master putout of the after
noon. The second game looked like a fiasco
at the start. Sedgwick was sent to the
mound, but he proved unable to stop
the Cards, who lambasted him for three
doubles and as many runs la tho first
inning. In the second three more runs
crossed the platter, as a result of
"Jack" Smith's homer with two on.
That was all for the Washlngtonlnn,
nnd George Smith took up the burden.
One more run crossed n little later
that inning. After that Smith yielded
only one more. Hctts kept the plate un
splked in the seventh and eighth, and
Winters allowed one In tho ninth.
Itig Hatting Day
The even break gave the l'liils a
record of six victories out of their
last nine games. It also prevented the
Cardinals from creeping up on tho
Hraves, as the Hub team split a twin
bill with the Hcds.
Two triple plays featured yesterday's
major leaguo games. Terry, of tho
Chicago Nationals, started one bv
catching a line drivo batted by Nehf,
of New York, nnd two Giant plucM
were caught off base on relnjs to Hol
loclier and Grimes. Five llojton Na
tional players participated in tho other
play, which came with three Cincin
nati men on bases. One Red plnycr
scored as a ground ball was thrown
t second nnd first for outs nnd the
finnl out was made when another lied
wns caught between third nnd home.
Tho New York Nationals won their
eighth 6trnlght game, but did not gain
in the pennnnt rac, as Pittsburgh also
won. The New York American won
nnd shortened Cleveland's lead to one
gnme. The St. Louis Americans went
Into third placo ahead of Washington.
All of the St. Louis Browns hnd one
or more bits, for a grand total of
twenty.
Uabo Ruth, tho home run king, re
tired in tho fifth Inning, nftcr turning
his anklo In rounding base.
A homo run with tho bases full went
to tho credit of Boeckcl, of tho Boston
Nationals. Ilobertson, of Pittsburgh,
made a home run, triple, double nnd
single, while Sisler, of tho St. Louis
Americans, batted a triple and four sin

Tho Song of llw Davis Cup
T have traveled with tho olndf homo
by steam and spar, '
Over seven seas or more, all the seas
that are.- i
Ever since they nurtured tne, where tho
volleys whirled,
I have led a roving Ufa up and down
the world.
Where tho early dawn rode out, dipping
to the sea,
I have seen the English cliffs beckon
ing to mc.
I have known the Melbourne road whero
the drovers ply, .
Tiat'o seen the Southern Cross ride
the summer sky.
Xow,
at last, I'm homo again, back
where 1 belong.
Where the winds come whispering to
me in j song.
Maybe I urn older now anyway, I
know
I am quite content to stay for a year
or so.

almost before we know It, Hnrvard will

around before a new season hits you
over the right or left car.
Tlie Overlapping Month
QtEPTEMBER, just over the next rim,
J might bo known ns the overlapping
month. The Davis Cup breaks out
this week. Next week football practice

.nine week starts the amateur golf
championship in St. Louis.
And all the while New York and
Cleveland are sparring to see which
one can stop Adams and Cooper In tho
next World Scries.
This sporting life may be checkered,
but It's never wholly dull.
League and Ixaguo
TTHIAT chance has Pittsburgh to lift
VV the National League out of the
World Scries rut?
The Braves accomplished this feat
back In 1014. The Beds get credit for
the same achievement in 1011) but a
salmon-colored veil is drawn over that
mclnncholy spot In the game's history.
