GOLF CHAMPION WRITES OF DREADED STALENE5S Harry Yartlon Says Prevention la Better Than Cure and Rigorous Modera tion in riay Haa Saved IIT IIARRT VjtRDOX STAU dlst v..l TALL.NKtl Is lust about tha most istr.sslng complaint that can bs Ited ucoa the golfer. In other games tha psrson who la suffering from an excess of play or training la put out of bia agony quickly, ha Is so much off color that It takea vary little time to bring about bis defeat, lather that, or he Is a men-oar of a team In which his Impotency Is relieved occasionally by tha fact that his confreres afford him asalstanca In tight corners. The go:f.r haa to do everything for himself, and when fata Is so perversa as to make fclm do everything badly, he Is sursly tha most nnhappy being In th. realm of ai'ort. For his anguish Is long-drawn-out to tha point of being tortu oua: It takea over two boura to play a round of tha links, and whan ha Is really stale tha chances are that he hits har-ily ona good shot all that while, lie goes on straggling desper ately, feeling like an innocent being led to tho aiaughter. and yet hoping that nla power will be suddenly re stored to blm. It seldom Is and at the and of th. day his cup of ml aery la full ta overflowing. 1 anr sometimes asked to suggest a cur. for staieness. It would be more profitable, perbapa. to discuss tha pre vrntlon tbaa the euro. o far aa the latter ta concerned tha only advice that on. can offer la complete abstinence from the gsma tor a week or so. Bath ing, mountain climbing, shooting any thine la better for the golfer than golf when bs la la th. throes or tnis com plaint. Tha first essential Is that, ha shall come back fresh to tha game It h. tak.s a lessen to make aur. that his grip and stance ara correct, there la no reason why ho should rati to re sume his old standard of ability. It happena often that these periods of Incapacity on th. links ara caused by tha player railing into in. way or holding th. club wrongly or standing to the. ball Incorrectly. With a glut of golf, hia concentration weak.na and unconsciouely ha alters bis grip or stance auSlciently to spoil tha shot. It is easy to fall Into a bad habit unless one haa tha mind fixed wholly on tne ta.k in band, and the worst or over indulgence in golf la that It blunts the power of concentration- In th. aarly ipring of last year 1 was not playing at all well and It waa only whan, on examining my grip. I reatiaed that I bad rnanged the disposition of my left thumb on th. shaft of th. club that 1 struck a happy patch again, MaaWrata Frog, raoa sea AdvtaeaV Slaleoees Is a frequent after-effect of a golfing holiday. To draw up a sched ule for a person who la going away to livo th. lit. of th. links with nothing else on his mind la. perbapa. a dreary manner of showing good will, but if ho ba wise h. will arrange hla pc gr amine with some .regard for ths lim I V ,- ""N T ."'71 -.1 -Jllfa'.'- H n:'t'-'.-i vvr. - Jlim Many Times. its of human nature. The Ideal golf Ing holiday is, 1 suppose, that In which four friends constitute a party and agree that each day'a play shall con sist of two singles in the morning and either a foursome or a four-ball match in tha afternoon. A programme of that kind Is not calculated to provoke any of th. Bufferings that ara born of excess, and It ought to be sufficient for anybody who has the chance of devot Ing two or three weeka on end to the pastime For ths busy man who can spare only a week s holiday it Is probably useless to prescribe moderation. Seeing that he has so many Interests aa to be prevented from devoting much time to th. game. It will not matter greatly even though he does contract stale' ness. The chances are that it will disappear before he haa another op porluntty of applying himself to recre ation. For people wtio play mora or less recti larly and In whoae annual va cation golf fills ths bill, three rounds a day ar. bad. It Is a vary long while alnce I pl.iyed mora than two rocrfls In a day. I have refused on many occa sions to go out for a third. There Is apt to ansa In on. of those third rounds a stage when tha player grows weary of the very eight of his clubs. His concentration haa broken down: ha haa had a surfeit of th. gams. Con slderatlon for bis partner or opponent compels him to nnisii the is holes and at ths end the element of ataleness Is flourishing within him. Many a golfar who. except- during holidays, limits his play to week-ends spoils his chance of advancement by overindu!genc. Golf haa great value aa a preserver and reviver of health, but all Ita properties In that direction ar. thrown to th. winds wh.n It is overdone. 1 know a lot of doctors who advise golf aa a cur. for people in falling health and whose experience has shown them that a sudden plunge Into two days of hard play after Ova days of hard work defeata the very object of the visit to the links. There are plenty of late beginners at ths game who would become scratch players if only they would be satisfied with a rea sonable amount of golf. . Clab Practice Is Good. For the essentially week-end n tbuslast 1 would suggest a morntng devoted to practice, an afternoon to a single match and tha following day to a single and a foursome. If he can find a quiet corner of tha links ba will profit his gam. tremendously by tak ink out a brassle. an iron and a ma-hle and practicing for half an hour with each. I would advise him to practice driving with a.brassle. It Is an eaaler club than tha ordinary, straight-face; driver wrth which to make a lee shot and It will belp to give him confidence when he sallies forth for a match. Sim ilarly ths Iron Is simpler to uss than the cleek and It la by building up falUt In oneself through ths medium rji-fc-a-..sy of tha more tractable obtains a footing on progress. clubs that one the road of It Is a good thing to keep In touch with one's clubs while avoiding the danger of too much play. It Is the fact that golf Is possible all the yea: round In Britain that amounts in i large measure. I think, for the super lorlty of British golf over American golf, taken In the volume. There are several exceedingly fine players In the States, but I would say that there is only one scratch man for every 10 that are to be found in the United King dom, and the reason Is probably that the majority of Americans are com pelted by circumstances of climate to give up the gnme for several months each year. The schools that are be coming so popular ar. capable, of do ing much to overcome this handicap. I do not know that they afford a reliable meana for a man to tell Just how he Is playing (tha range Is so short that I defy anybody alwaya to adduce sat isfactory evidence as to whether r. shot would have been sliced, pulled or straight), but they enable a golfer to keep in touch with his clubs and that Is a lot. Personally I have never been away from my clubs since I took to golf in earuest a quarter of a century ago. They have accompanied ma everywhere I have been, whether on holiday or pro fessional purposs bent. Even on steamships I have practiced driving Into a net. But stay I have Just re membered one -occasion when I went clubless on an expedition. I had to plan aome alterations to a course in tha midlands of England, and as I made up my mind to play just to see how It felt, I left my equipment at home. On th. second day tha resolu tion collapsed. I could not resist an invitation to engage In a round, so I was flitted out with a set of women's clubs. Strange to say, I never hit the ball much better than with those light Implements. At the finish I was In formed that I had mortally offended the feelings of the members by beating the record for the course with a set of women'a clubs. If I nad not been rigorous In the re gard for moderation I should have been atale many times In my career. VANCOUVER WALLOPS REDS Ia See-Saw Affair at Spokane, 7-6 Score Goes to Canadians. SPOKANE.

Members of Portland Rowing CInb Are to Spend Two Days Paddling Dowav Willamette River. The annual Labor day canoe trip for men members of the Portland Rowing Club is being arranged. Harry Gam mie, chairman of the canoe committee, has been in communication with pros pective paddlers for the Journey. The trip will be from Salem to Portland, and will take two days, September 6 and 6. A special car has been secured by Chairman Gammle to take the canoes to the capital, leaving here late Sep tember 4. Tbe Portland delegation then will take another car and arrive In Salem in time for the dance and special entertainment accorded it. The start from Salem will be made at 7 o'clock Sunday morning, Septem ber 5, and after paddling all day carnp will be made some place between Wil sonville and Newberg. The last leg of the journey will be started at 7 o'clock the following morning, so the party will be in Portland by 7 o'clock Monday night. Seventeen canoe loads have signed up to take the outing, and as many more are expected. The biggest party ever conducted under the auspicea of the Portland Rowing Club on Its annual Labor day affair was two years ago. when 42 canoes were paddled down tbe Willamette from Salem to Portland. It is tbe desire of Cha'irman Gammle to have more than 35 and if possible break tbe record in point of attendance. This party is for the men members only, and is the only one of the year in which the women are not uxen along. A mixed party left the club moor ings yesterday afternoon to go to Cedar Island, near Oregon City. Many of the boats were towed up, and quite a num ber will make the return journey the same way. A huge bonfire was made on the beach last night and a dance was held. Two weeks ago a similar outing was held in which 25 canoes were liBted by those In charge. The boats will begin to arrive home late this afternoon. NEW ATHLETIC RULES APPEAR Many Changes Are Made to Conform to Olympic Regulations.

HERO'S PARENTS HERE BOSTON'S 23-YEAR-OLD TWIRLER TAKES 2-0 CONTEST. Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Nehf, of Terre Haute, Frond of Record of Son Making Good In Big Leagues. There were two mighty proud people in Portland yesterday. Tbey were Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Kehf, of Terre Haute, Indiana, and the reason of their happiness was the fact that their 23-year-old son. Arthur N. Kehf, broke into the big leagues by pitching a 2-to-0 victory for the Boston world's cham pions over the Pittsburg Nationals yes terday. Young Nehf, who is a southpaw, was sold to the Braves three weeks ago and the record that he made while an amateur and in the minors is something t(at few pitchers are able to make.

"Keep your eye on -the ball." That is what they are doing at Gearhart. "Everybody'e Doing It," for they are getting Into form for the sixth annual Gearhart Golf tournament, which be gins Monday. Golfers at the coming tournament will battle for the 1915 championship over a new 36-hole course and as the new links are sporty, those entrants who are Unramillar with th. new con ditions are apt to meet up with a cropper the first day in the qualifying rounds. Golf at Gearhart has always at tracted wide attention. for the tournament is open to any golfer bo longing to an organized golf club ia America. This year the entry list promises to be as large as that of I9H. if not larger. The links are in splen did shape, for R. C. F. Astbury, who is again going to have the management of the tournament, has given much of his time during the past month to getting the new course in readiness for the bis event. Mr. Astbury has been in cor respondence with a number of Eastern E-olfera who are visiting the exposition at San Francisco and some have prom ised to take in the tournament on tneir way home. Course Difficult at First. The 1915 championship over the new course promises to furnish many sur prises and those who have been on hand and have played over the ground will have a decided advantage over those who play over the links the first time Monday. It has always been ad mitted by golfers who played over the Gearhart course when It had only 18 holes that while none of the Hazards was difficult to negotiate, the links were soortv and full of surprises. The new course is, if anything, more sporty than ever, for Jack Astbury, wno nas had much to flo with laying out the new holes, has -provided for that Added to these conditions is the nature of tbe ground, some of It -being fast and other bits, that appear to the casual observer to be equally as fast are sur prisingly slow. Added to all tnis is tne narrowness of the course. The golfer. be he man or woman, who does not play close golf from the tee-off until the last hole Is made. Is more than apt to find his ball out of bounds. One of the Indications that the links are just as fast as ever over the new 36 boles Is the dally scoies terns turned in by those who are fitting themselves for the tournament J. W. Degger, the club professional, has re peatedly made tne 3t noies in io. jacK Astbury had negotiated the 36 holes in 80, which was the course record for club members, and Thursday Mr. Ast bury turned in a card, showing he had lowered his marK oy two, making ins 3S holes in 78. New Record Is Aim In spite of the narrowness of the course, men who have played In every tournament since 1913, are look ing forward to the 1916 champion set ting a new mark. In 1912 F. J. Finu cane, after playing some stiff golf. Won the championship from Jack Burns. The title was not settled until the pair had reached the 37th green. During thr- same tournament Mrs. J. Gilllson won the woman's champion ship. The other winners were: Jiarry Litt men's consolation; Mrs. J. J. Morrow, woman's consolation. In the mixed foresomes the honors went to Mrs. W. B. Ayer and Ned Ayer, 88 less 12, 76. Ned Ayer also captured the men's handicap, 80 less 17, net 63. Mrs. W. B. Ayer also won the woman's consolation, 100 less 12, net 88. The best average drive was made by Jack Burns and the best woman's drive by Mrs. C. Hurley, of Tacoma. In the men's and women's approaching con test Jordan Zan and Mrs. W. B. Ayer were the winners. In the 1913 tournament there was a noticeable improvement In both the players anil the course. In fact this has been the case in each succeeding tournament. It goes to show that the nlavera are giving more serious atten tion to their game and that the links are yearly getting in better shape. Harry B. Davis won the 1913 cham pionship in rather handy fashion and Mrs. W. D. Skinner the woman's title. Mr. Davis hung up a new course rec ord of 74. Ellis Bragg carried off the title in the men's handicap with a net score of 70. His handicap waa 13. Mrs. James Gillison and R. Wilhelm won the driving contest , In the tournament of 1914 the cham pionship battle was waged over the old 36-hole course and Russell Smith captured the handsome cup and the title. This was the first time the cham pionship was played over a 36-hole course, and the Waverley Club player -hung up a record of 143. Mrs. c . Davis won the woman's championship. One of the Interesting features of the tournament of last year and one that will attract wide Interest this year, is the midnight golf. There were only four players who tried midnight golf during the 1914 tournament but it is expected that a larger field will make the rounds this year.
