Keeler I wonder if the ghost of J. Douglas Edgar flickered about the fringes of the gallery at the Hamilton golf course the other day. Tommy Armour was clipping off his fourth round In the Canadian open championship 32-32 64. , The round tied Armour with the perennial winner, Leo . Diegel, and broke the record of 06 established by little Edgar, back in 919, when he won the championship with a score of 278, for many years thereafter the lowest aggregate over returned in a national competition. Douglas Edgar's score at Hamilton eleven years ago was 72-71-69-65 278, Tied for second place were Bobby t Jones. Jim Barnes, and Karl Keffer, at 294 sixteen strokes behind. Edgar met a tragic and mysterious death two years later. So far as ever was known, or at all logically sur mised, he was struck and killed by a speeding motor car in West Peachtres street, Atlanta, Just In front of the house in which he was boarding. However it was. Edgar's finishing round at Hamilton stood up, a bril liant 6G, for eleven years; thrice tied but never broken, until Tommy Ar mour, five strokes back of the lead at the beginning of tho fourth round, fairly weni mad and touched off one of the lowest scores ever returned In important competition. Armour's was a better round. I should say. than the 61 of Abrcy j Boomer at St. Cloud In the French ! open lost summer. Because Hamilton, ; while not one of the toughest tests, j is a Considerably more severe problem than a well-dried St. Cloud. Tommy had a very good chance for i a lower card. With two holes to play : his score was actually 9 strokes unrlr But he finished with a 5 and a ,4 for another 32, and had to be con tent with 8 under 4's, to tie with the trusty Diegel always a mighty man in the Canadian event who had on his part finished with a brilliant 67. I tourney in 1919; how. getting up into Canada after n long dry spell in At lanta, he went to a highly enjoyable party, remained in bed the next day until noon, and then went out to the course and hit six shots with a Jigger. "Then my hands felt thin." he said, with his slow smile, "and I knew I I was 'rieht. So I DUt uu mv clubs. Ana ne was rignt, next day. An when Douglas Edgar was right, I have : ! yet to see the man who could step i ! with him. j Sport Slants - By Ahlh t. fiould - (.o'iated ress Sports.

Britain's expert observers writes; "If it should turn out that the Am- J erican defender and the challenger I are nearly equal in speed, the result o: the race will depend largely upou helmsmanshlp and what the Ameri cans describe as the Judgment of the 'after guard." that is to say, the tacti cal maneuvering. j '"We may be quite sure Hint the In "clenl sklpp" 10 steer thelr boat 0,1l In.,.,.. wlli have the sunnort of n Americans will produce a highly ef that he will have the support of a most skillful tactician at his elbow, . . . Those in charge of Shamrock V should not be content until they can handle her at the start of a race as well as old Captain Sycamore did the famous 23-metre Shamrock II." , Speaking, or rather writing of open champlonsnips, golf courses and putts (in the Rotartan) Bobby Jones re marks: "The mental attitude in which we approach short putts has a lot to do with our succees. When we walk up to a putt of ten or fifteen feet, we are usually intent upon holing it. We know we shan't feel badly if we miss. ; so our entire attention is devoted to i me prooiem oi gelling me uuu uivu the hole. i ! "But t is quite different when the I putt is only a yard long. Then we , know tnat we ought to hole It easily i . . ..! ,nrrnlr,. the possibilitv of a miss. Instead of being determined to put the ball Into the hole, we become consumed with the fear of failure. Our determina tion, if we may call It such, is nega tive. We are trying nut to miss the putt, rather than to hole It." Pine Valley and Oakmont I re gard as two of the finest examples of The American course." Jones writes. "To illustrate what I mean a man could go around Pine Valley playing frrrv lnne shot uerfectlv and DUttlmt carefully in. say. seventy strokes. He might play Just as well at St. An drews i Scotland! and take seventy two or three. Yet, he might hit a few ; shots off line at Pine Valley and in crease his score ten strokes or more, whereas at St. Andrews these few mistakes might cost him nothing. American courses are easier to play in t low figures but the good ones are : likewise easier to play in high scores." Boston Bab Hunt. Ponca City. Ok;a.. outpointed James J. Bractdock.
