THE SUNDAY OKEGOXIAN, POBTLAJfD, JUNE 20, 1915. STATE GOLF TITLE WON BY WILHELM GROUP OF GOLFERS WHO TOOK AN ACTIVE PART IN THE OREGON STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS ON THE WAVERLY COUNTRY CLUB LINKS LAST WEEK HANDICAPS fiRE TIED Four Turn In Net Cards of .75 for Course. M. H. Hartwell Falls Easy Vic tim, With Score of 10 Up and 9 to Play. STEADY PLAY IS FEATURE .Portland Golf Club Carries . Off All Honors, Winning Cham pionship, Second and Tliird Flights With Small Entry. BT HOSCOE FA WCETT. Outplaying the 1314 champion with every club in the kit except Ills putter. Kudolph Wilhelm won the State of Oregon golf, championship yesterday at the Waverley links in a most decisive fashion. His opponent, M. H. Hart well, did, not ahow up to anywhere near his true form. At the end of the morning round of 18 holes Wilhelm was 8 up and, despite a nice rally by Hartwell after lunch, the match ended on the ninth green, 10 up and 9 to play. Owing- to the rain, which fell most of the time the finalists were on the links, scores were hardly 18-carat. Yet this much can be said of Wilhelm' card it vas consistent. He turned in 40 for the first nine, ?9 for the sec ond, and 40 for the third, as against 43. 44 and 42 for Hartwell. Portland Club Takes Honors. Wilhelm's victory in the champion ship class, together with the win of Harry H. Pearce over Dr. A. A. Morri son, 1 up in 18 holes, in the third flight, and the earlier victory of J. It. Straight over N. K. Gregg in the sec ond flight, gave the Portland Golf Club a clean sweep of the men's events. As the Portland club is only one year old, this showing, particularly in view of the limited entry list, is re markable. H. L. Keats, president of the Portland club, was highly elated last night and said the results would do golf a lot of good heerabouts. While Wilhelm's card for the morn ing round was only 79, his play at times bordered on the sensational. Twice he drove out of traps close to 150 yards and landed on the greens for par. On the 1-th hole 408 yards he dubbed a brassie lie into a trap anal then hoisted his Ited Honor pellet near ly 170 yardj to within ten feet of the pin, putting out in four and winning the' hole. Driving Is Feature On practically every tee shot Wil helm outdrove his opponent from 25 to 75 yards, his shots averaging around 223 yards. Hartwell, like Russell Smith, used an iron for his driving throughout the match, and this, to gether with the dampness of the grass, conspired to bring about his downfall. On short iron shots there was not so. much difference between the players, and the advantage was plainly with the Waverley entrant on the putting greens. Wilhelm is used to sand greens, and missed several four and five-foot putts that would have ended the match much earlier. And yet, oddly enough, it was a three on the ninth green of that sec ond round that rang down the curtain for Hartwell. Wilhelm fell short of the green several yards on his mashie tee shot. Hartwell drove to the upper edge, and it looked like his hole. Wil helm then dropped the ball dead on his second and putted out for a three, while Hartwell took three putts, and it was over. Gallery Is Small. The forenoon gallery of half a hun dred was made up principall- of Port land Golf Club members, and in the afternoon, owing to the heavy rain, two lone and much-ralned-upon news papermen comprised the entiro mosqui to fleet. Hartwell made no comments, but it was evident that he did not fancy the manner in which his adherents deserted him in his final match when he was losing. The score in detail follows: Pur out 4 4 4 4 4 S 3 35 Wilhelm 4 4 5 5 6 o A 5 4 40 Hartwell 0 5 5 & 6 4 4 6 3 13 .WUhelm. 3 up Par ,n 4 t 4 5 a 4 S 6 36 Wilhelm 4 4 5 3 5 4 S 3 Hartwell 53563556 6 44 Wilhelm. 8 up.

One of the prettiest shots of . the tourney was made by Hartwell on the 11th green of the 165-yard "kopje" hole during the morning round. Both men mad the green in one, but Hartwell found his ball lodged up against one of the chocolate drop dunes surround ing the green. It was difficult to reach, and he overplayed the hole by 15 or 20 feet. Wilhelm meanwhile putted to within one foot of the flag and stood around expecting to win the hole. But. 'twas not to be, for Hart well sunk his long putt for a half, each taking a par three. The new state champion, Rudolph Wilhelm. is only 23 years old, and, until the opening of the new Portland Club last Spring, had not touched a club for seven or eight years. He learned golf as a caddy at these selfsame Waverley links, where yesterday he clinched the highest state honors against the best golfers of this section. Owing to business reasons Champion WV.helm will not attend the Northwest championship at Tacoma this week, al though quite a delegation of Portland experts will attend. The Oregon tourney came to a suc cessful close last night with a dance at the beautiful Waverley clubhouse. Xotes of State Golf Tourney. Harry H. Pearce shot only four strokes over M. H. Hartwell's championship final score when he defeated Dr. A. A. Morrison for the third flight honors. Mr. Pearce scored a 46 on the first nine going out and 43 coming in.

Hartwell can now be expected to go back to their wooden clubs, following their defeat by Champion Wilhelm. In both matches Wilhelm out drove the former title holders and reallv won the title on his tee shots. Hartwell is said to rely in great measure upon the roll of his drivel and yesterday thena wasn't a . roll in sight except the rolling horizon. J. Martin Watson, the Waverly nrofeijion&l. said the wet grass cut down every one of Hartwell a drives by Z5 yards. "On a wet day like thl3 the best bal: is the one that stays longest in the air. not the low drive that depends largely upon roll for Us distance, said he. After almost a week of off-form golf.

"" Harry ardon. BY HARRT VARDON. (Remarkable British Champion.) O the Britisher who has lived his life in the atmosphere of golf and .watched the growth of the game in his own country from small be ginnings to a great national institu tion, nothing Is more interesting in later yes.rs than to watch its develop ment in iunds across the seas. Hav ing already made two lengthy tours, at a wide Interval, In the United States. I have had a fairly good op portunity of studying the rise of golf in America, and it has been suggested that I ' should set down some - of my impressions and recollections. So long ago as 1S99. it was plain to see tnat golf was going to enjoy an enormous vogue in the (States. I am free to confess that when setting out op that expedition. I did not expect to find one-tenth of the enthusiasm for the game which manifested Itself in all parts of Ameri ca. My programme grew - and grew until at length it consisted of 83 en gagements, and I did enough railway traveling to satisfy a globe-trotter in a greater hurry than ever Jules Verne conceived anybody to be. In point of fact, I spent most of my nights in trains and the days on golf courses; the only change came when the days, as well as the nights, were passed in trains. I Journeyed for two days and two nights to play at Den ver, and arrived just in time to secure a few hours' sleep before turning out to oppose the best ball of three golfers. I won by 4 to 3 and one of my rivals declared that Inasmuch as I could travel for 48 hours and then beat a combination of three men. I should have the only thing that brought him luck since his boyhood. So he gave me his mascot a tie pin shaped like a dice--and I have always treasured it. Weight Lost In Travels. . It was a common experience to reach a city in the early hours of the morn ing, dash to the hotel for a short rest, and proceed to the links for a match in which 1 felt that much was expected of me, since so much attention gratify ing attention was directed to these contests. On the whole, then, I was well pleased wfien, at the end, I had won 77 of my 88 engagements, most of which was against odds. Perhaps my chief loss consisted of two stones in weight. It takes a long while to evolve a race of accomplished golfers, and I would say that only now is America beginning to produce players of the kind who would be called .first-class in Britain and who are fairly numerous there. Fifteen or 16 yars ago, the standard of skill was not high in the States; nor would anybody have expected It to be. seeing that the game had only just seized the imagination of the people. Distinctly the best player whom I met then was Willie Smith. I had three great games with him. and although I beat him by 2 and 1 at St. Augustine, Fla. ; by the same margin at Wheaton, and by 4 to 3 at Midlothian. I had to struggle my hardest each time. That nothing was being thrown away can be gathered from the fact that I did a score of 74 at Wheaton, asd a 71 at St. Augtistine. One couid not have hoped to do better with the gutta-percha ball which was then in use. Fntnre Gain Seen. Such zeal for golf as was exhibited In America at that period afforded an as surance that, sooner or later, a class ot tip-top players would be developed, and that class would. I think, have matured more rapidly If tne flat swing had not become such an obsession in the States. At onfl time, the swing in which the player starts the club very flat, sweep ing It round his legs until the arms Kill let It go no further, whereupon it has to be raised, was the generally accepted method In Britain; but it has given way in recent times to a more upright way of wielding the club, which Is ail for the best. When last I saw Willie Smith play, I was sorry to observe that he had fallen a victim to the craze for flatness, with all its dangers in the matter of inaccurate bitting. To me he seemed to have sacrificed the dis tinctive quality that marked his golf on those exciting days at St Augus tine. Wheaton, and Midlothian. Nevertheless, the band of American top-sawyera is arising. Nothing could have been more striking than the im provement of J. J. McDermott between 1912, when he failed to qualify for the British championship at Muirfield, and 1913. when he finished fifth In that event at Hoylake. and in the short interval he had changed from the flat swing to the upright. Among amateurs, there are few who hit their half-iron shots bet ter, than "Chick" Evans, of Chicago; he has the ability to make the ball stop where it pitches. Ouimet Born Golfer. Francis Ouimet is a born golfer, who will rise to an even greater pitch of excellence than that which he has al ready attained, and I say this in full knowledge of the fact that he is the present amateur champion of the States and that he beat Ray and me in the American "open" at Brookline two years ago. I like particularly his wooden club play; it is as good as any thing one could wish to see in that di rection. Quite as noteworthy as the advance of the American amateurs is the prog ress of the professionals; of the latter the one who has appealed to me most in recent times is Macdonald Smith. He is a fine natural golfer, who, given good health, is bound to go a long way. I am not losing any of the sense of proportion in saying that I have never watched any golfer, old or young, who hits his iron shots up to the hole bet ter than Macdonald Smith. J. M. Barnes is another man of in finite promise; he knows every shot in the game. There are others; the im provement is so obvious in so many cases that one cannot estimate how many players stand a chance of win ning the championship. I wonder whether the caddies on American courses retain their old air of detachment and Independence. In a way, I almost hope they do. They are exceedingly engaging, even' If they make one feel, at times, that tbey might be a little more helpful. At home we have a queer mixture of cad dies: some whole-hearted in their at tention to their employer's game and others utterly unconcerned as to what happens so long as they receive their due reward for acting as light porters of the links. 1 do not think the Ameri can caddiels often lacking in interest, although he is occasionally. At least one who carried for me in a match at Miami, which I was particularly keen on winning, cannot have beers very greatly affected by my ambitions. "Here." he said in the middle of the round, "hold these clubs and I'll go and Kill a snake for you. In the ordinary way, however, lofty independence has struck me as being the spirit in which the American cad die pursues his calling. In Britain, it is an invariable custom that the hench man shall clean the clubs at the end of the day, and the most laggard mem ber of the species makes a tee for the drive unless you tell him that you would rather make it yourself which is fairly often. During my golfing travels in America, I have very seldom come across a caddie who regards it as a part of his duty to prepare a tee, and as for cleaning the clubs well, that would be far beneath his dignity. I remember once asking a caddie to remove the mud from a ball which had collected some of that tenacious sub stance as the result of a visit to a ditch. I told him that I would use it a hole or two later, when it was clean. He took it without a word. In due course I asked him for it; he handed It to me with the mud still sticking to it. "Why, you haven't cleaned it," I pro tested. "Haven't had time," he said nonchal antly. There was no arguing with that youth: he had had nothing to do but walk along carrying the clubs, so there was an end of the matter. Caddie Is Insistent. Be it said .however, that we have our monuments of uppishness among home caddies. I shall never forget the boy who carried lor me in the first cham pionship in which I ever competed, which was at Frestwick, Scotland, In 1893. He was a hunchback, no more than 12 years of age, and he took roe so completely in hand from the start of the competition that I soon realized that I was not expected to have a mind of my own. He gave full instructions as to how to play every shot that pre sented itself and selected the club for me. Being deslrlous of encouraging him to help so far as lay In his power, as every good caddie should assist his employer. I obeyed him faithfully for a long while. At length, however, I had a fancy for a shot which was different from the one that he recommended, and Insisted upon going my own way to work. Such indignation as this small nunchback of 12 exhibited I have never seen equaled In a human being. "All right," he said severely, "you can have your own way now till the finish. i-J U II i Av a.jw J ' ' D From that moment I could not get another word out of him; every time we came up to the ball be turned his back on me. and held the bag at arm'a length for me to choose a club. He kept that up till the end. It was amazingly sustained anger and contempt. Truly are caddies entertaining occa sionally. There was one who carried for me, when first I visited America, on the course of the New York Athletic Club, whither I went on Sundays for practice when In the city. As these were private games and we did not want to arouse any- attention, I was Introduced to the club merely as "Mr. Smith," and the caddie in question, after accompanying me round several times, began to evince a deal of inter est In my golf. "You know, you ought to join this club," he remarked one day.' "Why?" I inquired. "Well." he replied, "they want play ers for the team matches, and you'd do all right." "What handicap do you think they would giva me?" I asked He reflected long and deeply; At length he gave his verdict "You'd have 14." That was about the moat crushing criticism that aver I Buffered.
