Keclvr Competitive golf usually is rated the most uncertain of all sports, where form is concerned. 1 do not mean the playing form, cr method, of the individual golfer, though that too is one of the least certain things in this eccentric world, for It is well known that the competitive golfer never Is long at the peak of his game. He seems to be coming on his game, or sliding ofi it, most of the time. And his performance In any given tourna ment or, matcji Is governed mater ially by the stage of his game at the time. It Is a' matter of record that Jerry Travers at Garden City was so far below his normal tournament stride at the outset of the national ama teur championship that Tie had to play off to get in the 32 qualifiers. Afterwards, he" Went on through the tournament, playing better and bet te.', and won easily. : it is rememoered also that George I ONLY On a Automatic Electric Range WE OFFER this beautiful all white fange for only $4.95 dowii and the balance in convenient monthly payments on your light bill.

But the text of this little sermon I lr on racing form in golfing tourna ments the consecutive .perform ance on the track or on the golf ' course, where there is even more 1 luck, cnod and ' bad. than on the tur;.

' Adding to the curiously coinci dental performance of the human competitors; Bobby led Mac Smith by 2 strokes at Hoylake, and Horton Smith by 5 strokes; and again he led Mac by 2 strokes and Horton by 6 strokes, at Interlachen. The great trio were 4 strokes bet ter, ot Interlachen than at Hoylake. but their relative position was the same. Leo Dtcgel was tied with Mac Smith, and Fred Robson with Hor ton Smith, at Hoylake. But of course that does not. upset the extra ordinary ratio. There Is small like lihood that such a thing ever will happen again, either on the track cr on the golf course. ity Alan 4.

Little Bill Johnstol, one-time mighty atom ol the tennis courts, has staged a come-back In one of the most serious battles he has ever had. Word comes from California that the former national champion has emerged the winner in a battle to regain his health, shattered by a break-down several months ago, Wher. lung trouble developed un expectedly, Johnston went to a hos pital weighing only 119 pounds, but he still possessed and exhibited the Indomitable will-power that made him famous In the days of his epic battles with Big BUI Tllden. Two and a half months later. In, July, Little Bill weighed 134 54. His doctors assure him he now has noth ing to worry about and that his re covery will be sufficient by Septem ber to allow him to return to work. While at the top of his brilliant game.. Johnston, exhibited more stroking power per pound than any other figure in the gome. '- He risked his health frequently in exhausting . battles. On one torrid afternoon seven years ago at Sea brighv. saw Johnston emerge from' a hard-fought victory over Dick Wil liams, weighing seven pounds lass than when he stepped on the courts. Just as Yankee pennant prospects for years have depended ' upon the geed health and digestion of Babe Ruth,, and Davis Cup hopes have hinged annually on Big Bill Tllden, so do. the American polo forces rely on Tommy Hitchcock to supply the prin cipal driving power. . Consequently, It Is of . much con cern when the only ten-goal player In the world and leader of America's cup defense this year Is laid up. even temporarily, by a mailet crack In the ribs.

It behooves the American cup team candidates to be a trifle careful how they swing their mallets in the general direction of Capt.

"In order'to avoid disappointments bad feeling or criticism, the Ameri can team wJU not be announced del- initely Until the night -. before ,the first match with England." said Cap. tain Hitchcock In a discussion of the polo defense.. Tommy up doubt had In mind th disturbance. created in. 1927 and again In 1928 when the American "Bi- Four" underwent eleventh-hour changes after apparently being def initely chosen. ; There . may be crltlslsm of this year's plan, too, as making for uij certainty among the players 'but at least it will prevent Ill-feeling. This year the "Old Guard." of polo has remained, studiously out of th picture, to make the team selection as easy as possible for Captain Hitch cock. Veterans stich as Webb, Stevenson, Cowdln and Milburn declined even ta be considered-for the team.'
