Newspaper Page TextTITE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN. rORTLAWD, NOVEMBER 12, 19 1C. BRITAIN SETS PUCE FOR AMERICAN GOLF Players in United States Too Prone to Lose Temper . When Luck Is Bad. DEFECTS BEING CORRECTED Courses Are More Like ' Those in England Many Arc Taking Up Game and General Trend Is to Take Creaks as Tliey Come. Tt Is a pretty well conceded fact that vp to date at least British golf has had a lap or two to spare above Amer ican golf. There are three reasons for this: First, Great Britain has been plug ging away at the gams about 300 years; the United States about 30 years. Second, as an average, British courses have been far better training camps for the development of finer golf; they have been much harder, have been far better trapped and have called for a greater variety in play. Third, upon the general average egain the more stolid British tempera ment is better suited for golf than the quick-fire, impatient American tem perment is. Americans are gradually overcoming the first two defects. English golf is being played in the United States of America to bring on development. And with such courses as the National, Pine Valley, Lido and others, golfers in this widespread land will soon be getting all the tests that a golf system can carry. It is only a matter of a few years now before America will be replete with courses calling for the hardest tests that exist, so this defect will soon be remedied. As for the third deficit or defect, this Is something else again. There isn't the slightest doubt but that many of our best golfers have weakened their play by an amazing impatience with the arrival of any bad luck, while a poor approach or a missed short putt will drive them into a frenzy. Many JlewHll Hard Lack. In these United States of America there are too many golfers who fly apart before bad luck or a poor shot. They never seem to figure that they are due to have a certain number of bad lies in the course of a round and that they are also due to miss a cer tain number of , shots, especially a num ber of putts. Through the last season alone there can be recalled any number of cases where one or two bad breaks or one or two poor "shots completely wrecked the game of certain first-class players, because, through lack of proper pa tience, they allowed these slips of fate or fortune to get upon their nerves. Too many of these take only good luck and perfect golf for granted. They make n advance no allowance for mistakes, bad kicks, cuppy lies or other Upsets. Take a certain incident at Merlon. One of the leading contestants drew a bad start in one of his matches. He immediately lost his temper and with it his poise. His game grew care less and went to wrack. By the sixth hole he was five down and ap parently was a badly beaten man. It so happened Just at this moment an older friend called him aside and delivered a burning address upon the matter. "You ought to be ashamed of yourself," was the friend's parting shot. "Either play the game or quit it for good." InMtant Change Noted. The change in the player's method ti n ry lusiajjiaiicuus, i it; ettLLIBd 11 U W II at once, got a new grip on himself and at the 18th hole from being 5 down he had come to being 1 up, which is no small difference, and the entire change came from the shift in the player's mental attitude after he had been set Tight by some pretty sharp but exceed ingly sound advice. Three golfers have been used before as illustrations or examples along other lines, but they also fit in here. The men referred to are Ouimet, Travers and Davis. Much has been written about their fine temperament for play. They un doubtedly have the so-called "golf temperament" to a high degree, yet they are temperamentally unlike in most other ways. What, then, is the "golf tempera ment" they possess? In the main it is this: They take the game as it comes, accepting the breaks and shifts of luck without allowing themselves to be up set. Nobody has ever seen Frances Ouimet offer any complaint over a bad lie or lose his poise for a moment be cause of some poor shot or some un lucky turn. No one could tell from his manner that he was not having the best of luck. Travprn Never Annoyed. How many recall Jerry Travers at Kaltusrol, when he won the open in 1915? At least three shots that started well kicked off into bunkers. Tet when Jerry came up to his ball his ex pression shewed no annoyance or im patience. Having got into trouble, his ole thought was the best way out, not a waste in vain regrets over what might have been. How does this help? The answer is eimple enough. By refusing to become overly impatient or upset these three have been able to retain their complete concentration, to fix their undivided and unbroken attention upon the main shot in golf which is the next shot you have to play. If Oimet had b come impatient or annoyed because he hooked a shot out of bounds aginst Vardon and Ray, or Travers had both ered his soul because he found trouble here and there, neither would have been open champion. There are grips and stances and swings that help in golf. But none of these help any more than the "capacity for infinite patience" and the ability to take the game as it comes; the ability to fix concentration on the shot ahead, forgetting past mistakes or past trouble in the determination to get there on the next one. If the average golfer gave as much attention to this latter feature as he does to correcting physical faults in swing or stance or grip his game would never be possible over the other route. X.IXKS PLAY FROM EITHER EXD Utah University's Proposed Course Xcar Salt Lake Visited. SALT LAKE CITY. Utah.. Nov. 11. (Special.) Louis Berrien, the golf in Etructor at the Salt Lake Countrv Club aided by two assistants,, has gone over the course of the proposed golf links on Fort Douglas territory which the University of Utah is planning to build. The course as outlined by Berrien covers more than 3000 yards for the nine holes and is so arranged that parties may begin, play at either end.

THE LOCKER ROOM By Briggs. 1 N6 LIKE) MAJORS IGNORE COMMISSION FOR BALL TRIP TO HONOLULU Several of Coast League Teams Have Not Yet Decided on Training Camps. Harry B. Smith Explains Salary Limit Question and Liklihood of Secrecy. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Nov. 11. (Special.) Major league ballplay ers are taking a chance of antago nizing the National commission these days by engaging to make the trip to Honolulu with Charlie Swain's All Stars. At least that is the case with five of them Harold Janvrin, of th Boston Red Sox; Louis Guisto, of Cleve land; Rowdy Elliott, of the Chicago Cubs; Sammy Bohne. of the St. Louis club, and George Kelly, of the New York Giants. The tourists started for Honolulu last Tuesday afternoon and each one of the big quintet received a telegram from his club that read thusly: "You must secure permission from the National commission. Personally your club has no objection to your making, the trip." Commission Is Ignored. And then the five, without any get together conference, each decided for himself that he would beard the Na tional commission in its den and suffer the consequences, if there are any. The fact that the club owners do not object to a bit of Winter ball is strongly in favor of the players and the boys believe, if it comes down to a pinch, that they can show a clear case. Al Sothoron and Nixon. of the Beavers, were to have been members cf the party, but rather mussed up the programme by leaving suddenly for the East, and that too, without any notifica tion to the promoters. At best it was a shabby trick to play on Swain, who has had plenty of troubles on his shoulders without having to chase a couple of erratic ballplayers. New Men Signed In Time. Fortunately Louis Guisto brought the word to Swain before there was actual damage done and new men were signed to take their places. The team as it stands for the nine games on the island is as follows: Pitchers Wynn Noyes, Chief John son and Dutch Reuther. Catchers Rowdy Elliott and Johnny Bassler. First base Louis Guisto. Second base Harold Janvrin. Shortstop Bill Leard. Third base Sammy Bohne. Outfielders Bill Kenworthy, Dutch Retither and George Kelly.- Reuther will be used in the double capacity. He can pitch occasionally but for the most part he will be an outfielder. Swain went along, of course, in charge of the team and the tourists will be absent for five weeks. Other Similar To urn Made. Away back a number of years A. O. Spalding made a trip around the world with a flock of baseball athletes. Mike Fisher, well known to Coast League fans, followed suit on two different occasions, while a little less than two years ago McGraw and Comiskey headed two great major league clubs on the same sort of trip. There have been several college teams, to say nothing of the O. C. boys from the winged "O" institution, to make the trip, so Honolulu fans are well ac quainted with baseball talent from this country. Swain has taken with him a well balanced club and his boys ought to furnish some good baseball. Most of the players' have nothing to occupy their attention and for that reason the diversion will be the best thing in the world for, them. Rest Advised In Off Season. Personally the writer believes ihat ballplayers should rest in the off sea son, but a short Jaunt of five weeks is not going to do any damage. When the California delegation net sail last Thursday for New Orleans and the meeting of the minor leaguers, there was no representation from the San Francisco club. Henry Berry de clared he was altogether too busy with the details of tearing down Recreation Park stands to make the trip, while Manager Harry S. Wolverton explained that as he had no trades to consummate, he couldn't see the necessity of such a long Journey. Wolverton, by the way. Is located In the mountains of Madera County, some 65 miles from Fresno. He is up 4 there with Charlie Baum and their two families. The baseball men intimate that it will be three months of delight ful loafing and hunting and Just as little of baseball mixed in as possible. Negotiations to Be Made. However. Wolverton has left orders for a telephone to be hooked on and declares that he will do whatever negotiating is necessary for baseball over the long-distance line. "I do need some players but not a I . f WHAT DVa KsJeu Jf Tbu've i J . ii a .svAjeu. Course world of them," said Boss Harry. "I want a real catcher, who will be the first-string man, an outfielder to take the place of Ping Bodie, who is lost by sale to the Philadelphia Athletics, and another pitcher in addition to the men who are lined up. "The breaks went against us this last season or we would have been one of the contenders in the race. I think I know how to fill up the cracks in our wall of defense so that the San Francisco club will be a contestant lor the pennant in 1917. But this Isn't going to take much of my time and most of the next three months will be spent in the mountains." liaam to Represent Cotimt. Prexy Baum will represent the Coast League, but there went with him J. Cal Ewing, president of the Oakland leam. ana Manager Dei Howard. Cal Ewing is about the best politician ever developed in minor league circles and can be depended upon to watch affairs from the standpoint of his own sec tion. Howard admits that he has a lot of deals under way and he wants to be in New Orleans to attend to them. First of all. he wants to make a com bination, if possible, with the Brook lyn club, so as to get the cast-offs of the Trolley Dodgers. Then he wants to strengthen his team in certain places and thinks the best possible manner is by being on the ground in person Berry to Start Xm, Park Soon. The latest word from Hen Berry is to. the effect that work on the new park will start about December 1. The grass on the infield has been taken up and stored away as a guar antee of his good intentions. This coming Sunday there will be a bene fit game of ball arranged by the Na tive Sons, after which the padlocks will be put on the gates until such time as the wreckers are ready for action. Leases on some of the Fifteenth street property that will be used in enlarging the diamond and increasing the distance from the plate to right field, will not be up until December 1. Then, so says Hen. work will start with a rush. It Is figured that given any amount of fair weather the stands can be re built within two months and In readi ness for exhibition games, providing the Coasters decide to let an outside team train here this coming Spring. Oaks May Train at Bom Sprinn. Oakland evidently thinks well of uoyes springs as a training camp. Secretary Jack Cook and Del Howard made a trip to the Sonoma County re sort this last week and returned with a signed contract by which the Oaks will be located at Boyes for the next five years. "The grounds suit us and the camp is a perfect one for a ball club." said Cook. "Likewise advantageous terms were offered and that determined us to tie up with Dr. Parramore for the next five years. We, will know where we stand and so will Parramore and his associates." San Francisco is still shy a training camp, so iar as any uennlte action is concerned. Berry says he likes San Jose, but that he isn't sure he can get a diamond. When San Jose merchants gave a rodeo last Summer they tore up the baseball diamond and converted it into a field for equestrian sports. Diamond Needed for Retnrn. Now, if the Seals are to return, to the Garden City, it will take some work as well as some money, to land them a diamond. Much depends, of course, upon the attitude or the .oasters with reference to the coming of a major league club. If they decide to allow Spring exhibi tion games, it will mean that the San Francisco club, for instance, will be busy in this city Saturdays and Sun days during the Spring month of work. In that case, it will not make so much difference where the club is sent to get into shape. , It looks very much as if there will be a move to rescind the Coast ruling that calls for three weeks of training- Berry, for one, believes each club ought to be allowed to settle that problem for itself. For example, there are some pitchers who require more seasoning than others. Whether there will be a lifting of tne lid where tne salary limit is con cerned, no one so far has predicted. 1 think the league directors are con vinced that it was a mistake to make public the cutting down of the salary limit and if they do anything of the sort this Fall at the Salt Lake gather ing. ir will be In executive session. -T7 MOVW 'BOUT r) LlTT-F j- Sot ":crt x.-sj-"- BEAVERS SPLIT EVEN 18 Games Are Won and Lost With Los Angeles. SOTHORON LEADS LEAGUE Seven Games Taken From An geld, Wlille Baum Is Next Willi Five. Portland Only Fails to Make Hit Every Inning In 1 Game. It was not thel fault of the Portland club that Los Angeles won the pennant In the 1916 Coast League season. To be sure. Portland and Los Angeles had more postponed games than any other two clubs, but Portland was the only club to break -even with the Angels for the season. Portland won more games from the Angels and lost fewer games to the Angels than did any other club, winning 18 and losing 18. Sothoron was responsible for the pitching end of seven of Portland's 18 victories over the Angels, while Noyes was charged with the defeat in six of the 18 games that Portland lost to Los Angeles. Los Angeles won two and lost seven games against Sothoron: won six and lost only one against Noyes. The Angels won four and lost three against Houck and won two and lost three against Kelly. Hagerman and Higginbotham were the only Portland pitchers not to meet a defeat at the hands of the Angels, Hagerman winning two and Higgin botham winning one. Loudermilk won one and lost two games against the Angels, while Harstad and Reuther each won none and lost one. Oakland was Los Angeles' chief vic tim in games won for the pennant, al though in percentage of games won and lost Salt Lake City was the easiest foe of the Angels. Los Angeles won 26 games from Oakland and 25 each from Salt Lake, San Francisco and Ver non. Los Angeles lost 12 games to Salt Lake, 16 each to Oakland and Ver non and 17 to San Francisco. Only six Coast League pitchers won more than three games from the 1916 champion Angels, and of these three were San Francisco hurlers. Sothoron. of Portland, finished the season with more victories against Los Angeles than any other pitcher, winning seven games. Baum. of San Francisco, was next in line, with five wins from the champions. Crandall, while with Oak Land. Sothoron won seven and lost two games against the Angels; Crandall won four and lost none; Prough won four and lost four. Among the Seal regular pitchers. Couch was the only one who won more than he- lost against the Angels, win ning four and losing one. Corbett won one and lost none. Baum won five and lost six and Steen won four and lost six to the champions. Oldham won two and lost four games to the An gels: Brown won one and lost five: Erickson was the only Seal pitcher who did not win a game from the An gels, losing three times. . Sixteen times during the 1916 Coast League season did a club register at least one safe hit to an inning. San Francisco turned the trick seven times, with Oakland next In line, with four games. Vernon was credited with a hit in every inning in three games, and Salt Lake and Los Angeles each added one game to the record. Portland was the only club that did not play at least one game with a hit in every Inning. Four times each Vernon and Salt Lake were the victims when opposing clubs hit safely in every inning. Oak land's opponents turned the trick three times; Los Angeles and Portland pitch ers were bumped safely every inning in two games each, and San Francisco, the team that hit safely in every in ning more times than any other club, allowed opponents to' turn the trick only once. Only four out of the 16 times that a club hit safely in every inning did that accomplishment fail to bring victory, and one of those times was the only occasion of the season when an oppos ing club hit safely in every inning against the Seals. San Francisco won, 7 to 6. on June 7, despite the fact that Vernon piled up a total of 16 hits, with at least one in every inning. Oakland hit safely in every inning against Salt Lake on May 14 and lost. 4 to 2. and also against Vernon on July 30 and lost, 8 to 5. San Francisco hit safely against Salt Lake in every inning on April 29 and lost. 9 to 6. BOY BEATS EVANS Bobby Jones, of Atlanta, Shows Champion Trick. HIGH HONORS PREDICTED Youngster Goes Course In 75 and 74 Against Expert's 76 and 77, and Play Is Steady, Over coming Bad Luck. Bobby Jones, the 14-year-old Atlanta golfer, beat Chick Evans 4 up and 3 to plsy matching cards In their recent four-ball match at Atlanta. The ac count of the match in the Atlanta journal, with young Jones and Perrv Adair, another Atlanta youth, opposing the National champion. Evans and Ned Jsawyer. of Chicago,-furnishes some In terestlng lights on the talents of the pbenom. Jones. In the morning Jones took a 75 against Evans' 76 and Sawyer's S3 and.

Following are excerpts from an ac count of the feat by the Atlanta Journal: "When the bunch teed up the crowd wanted to see Little Bob drive, not be cause he's Little itob, not because he's an Atlanta boy, but because he smashes the ball with a cleanness, a lack of preliminaries and a sureness that is a delight to the eye. "Chick Evans said this yesterday morning: "'In four or five years this boy Is going to be ripe for the champion ship.' "But why four or five years? There Isn't a man playing golf today who has his phlegm, his coolness. Matches don't bother him. He wasn't any more concerned about playing the open and amateur champion than he would be about playing his dad, whom he always beats to a frazzle. "He has the temperament, or lack of temperament. Just as much as any body could have. And the Lord knows he plays the clubs. It seems impos sible for a stocky kid to hit a ball the way he does. He had the others beaten by 10 or 15 yards all along. Lone Slip Made. "On the fourth Chick outdrove him. because Bob's first was out of bounds and his second was hooked. He slipped for a moment there: the only time all the way that he bobbled. "On the eighth his drive caught the top of the trap and dropped back In. It was hard luck, an inch higher and he would have had the green and been well up to the flag. Chick played his ball more into the air and carried the green. "Then, on No. 17, Bob's drive was short and on 18 he used an iron and hooked, while Chick got a beauty, flag high. "On his seconds he often took Iron clubs where the others fell back on the brassie and he was with them or be yond them when the caddies pushed their way over the gallery-cluttered course and found the balls. "In approach shots there wasn't much to choose, though as someone put it. when Chick's ball hit dead. Little Bob's hit Just a wee bit 'deader.'" E. H. BRYANT. Fdltor. Phone Tabor 61 1::.
