PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 1. (Special.)
Athletic fame la America Is as fleet
ing as the famous almighty dollar. Not
more than 10 years ago Walter J. Tra
vis was looked upon as the country's
leader at golf, and America was not
the only nation which so honored the
- genius of Garden City. Now the
Grand old man of golf Is satisfied to
be one of the gallery. He has retired
ttrom competitive play, not because
his game has suffered to any great ex
tent in the years since he was rated
Xo. 1 or because he Is unable to com
pete on even terms with the mighty
army of high-class golfers springing
Into the limelight of American golf,
but rather because he. like many oth
ers, sits back and wonders at the
achievements of youthful prodigies of
the game.
Findlay S. Douglas, national cham
pion in 1898 and runnerup in the two
following years, no longer considers
It imperative to play in the chief tour
nament of the year. In fact, he Is
glorified if he is able to match strokes
"with the youngsters crowding his
home links. He still turns In a card
which would satisfy several thousand
ambitious players, but he. like Travis,
Is content to watch the remarkable
ability of the young.
Golf is no longer a game for the ma
ture. No longer can the business man
exult in a sport which he thought was
for him, because boys and girls are
leading the way with rapid strides
the elder persons must take a back
seat.
Room for Star on Top.
Even Chick Evans, Jerome Travers,
and Francis Ouimet are beginning to
eye Bobby Jones, Perry Adair; Nor
man H. Maxwell and a few others
askance, wondering where the genius
of these youngsters Is to stop and If
some other boy still unshaven is to oc
cupy the pedestal so long thought the
property of the three named. Young
Bobby. from Atlanta, more than
threatened to obtain possession this
season and Maxwell by his recent dis
play at Lakewood makes It Impera
tive that the leaders brush up on their
game if they hope to further hold off
youthful Americans.
No less an authority than Gardiner
W. White, of Flushing, who bowed be
fore the prowess of Maxwell at Lake
wood, predicts that the young Phlla-
delphian will be a cnamplon. Maxwell
who is only 19 -years old and Is a
freshman at the University of Penn
svlvania. ha only to become a bit
more efficient in his short game to
astonish the golfing world. His wood
and iron shots are the delight of on
lookers. At Lakewood in his four
rounds of match play Maxwell was In
the routrh onlv three times off the
tee, and almost every time his ball
came to rest in a dead line with the
flair. He nulled one drive of the 72
out of bounds, and then he was facing
a strong wind and smashing up hill.
Maxwell plays with wonderful con
fidence. He knows what to do as soon
as he Is called upon to make a shot.
He does not waste a second of time
worrvine over what club to use, the
direction of the wind, the force need
ed or the distance required. Intuitive
ly and instantly these problems are
solved.
Maxwell Becomes Famous.
While Maxwell Is quite unknown to
most metropolitan goiters, he is
celebrity around Philadelphia. He
hails from Aronimink, where he
twice has equaled the course record
of 72. He holds the amateur record
of his home corps and has tied the best
nrof essional mark. His greatest
achievement at home was the defeat
of Max R. Marston. ot Baltusrol in the
Shawnee Invitation tournament, which
he won. He was one stroke out of
qualifying In the amateur national at
Merlon, his firstbig event.
Maxwell is a powerfully built
youngster with shoulders which should
delight any football coach. He is 6hort
but stocky and nas tremendous power
in his less and shoulders. He gets
unusual distance in his drives, which
was proved in his match against Gardt
ner White at Lakewood. when on al
most every occasion he was from 20
to 50 feet further on his drive than
White.
A local critic' who does not make
statements about the ability of the
irolfer unless certain -of his ground
insists that at present Bobby Jones Is
a better golfer than Maxwell, but that
Ihe Philadelphian shows more promise
than the Atlanta boy. Most golfers
will agree with this critic, notwith
standing the insistence that Bobby is
beine- too much petted for his own
good as well as the good of golf. Some
argued that the flare of Bobby at the
nationals would die out. but when
Chick Evans visited Atlanta and played
against Bobby and Perry Adair, Bobby
not onlv beat the national champion
and his Chicago partner single hand
ed but proved to all concerned he was
equal to any emergency.
Perrv Adair, who is 17. and also
from Atlanta. Is another prodigy who
threatens1 to dim the brilliance of
Travers. Evans and Ouimet. In fact
Adair already Is rated among the few
etars of the game. However. Atlanta
does not look upon Adair as equal to
Jones. Adair plays a careful game of
irolf. which reaches brilliant neignt
occasionally, but usually is just shor
of ton rating. However. Adair i
young yet, If that old expression means
anything as far as golf Is concerned.
Although the boys of the game have
not dethroned the champions as yet
there 13 a girl, only 19. who has shoul
dered her way past all feminine com
petition and stands at the head of her
class. She, too, comes from Atlanta
and is the proud possessor of the worn
en's National title. She is Alexa Stir
ling and. according to most golfers, th
best woman player this country has
known in many years.
Miss Stirling? Cbamplon,
For several years Miss Margaret Cur
tis. of Boston, was looked upon as th
golf leader of the women. Three times
she was champion and once runnerup.
She was considered one of the best
women golfers in the world. But Alex
Stirling uprooted the theory that once
a champion always a champion exist
in the golf world. The little Atlanta
girl played superior golf this last sea
son, went step by step to the top of th
ladder and Is now acclaimed leader In
name as well as ability.
That there are new champions, new
faces In the sport is one of the attrac
tions of golf. That youth may be served
as well as old age Is another benefit o
the sport. New champions create ne
interest. It would be well if Maxwell,

Jones, Adair and others could unseat
Evans, Travers and Ouimet. Should an
other girl become proficient enough to
dethrone Miss Stirling golf would not

It Is the uncertainty of baseball
which makes It a National necessity.
Some of that uncertainty In golf would
be welcome, and Maxwell. Jones. Adair
and others are trying to arouse the
needed uncertainty. Bring on the

With the news cabled to America
that the James Braid killed In an ac

the golfer, many thousands of the de

in this country are rejoicing. Braid Is
Scotland's favorite son since the time
of the Morrises. He Is a stalwart fig

and great strength.
For years after becoming a profes

shots with his irons, and yet he could
not drive a long ball from the tee, de
spite his physical powers, nor putt

well-known fact that If he went

putts to the green he was accomplish

SAVANNAH FIKST GOLF TOWN
Old Southern Town Leader In Sports
X
In Early Says.
A pretty thorough Investigation of
historical records supports the conten
tion that the city of Savannah was the
first town in America to boast of
properly constituted golf club.
The game of golf had gained con
siderable headway In Georgia as far
back as 1811. Savannah, at that time,
contained not more than 12,000 inhabi
tants, but, small as it was, it paid
good deal, of attention to sports and to
social and fashionable subjects.
There are two chief periods In the
history of the game of golf In Amer
ica. 1'lrFt, the so-called mythical pe
rlod, or the years before 1880; and.
second, the period beginning with the
opening of the golf clubs at St. An
drews and Shtnnecock (Southampton)
The first of these periods has alway
been looked on as purely legendary
and without foundation in historical
fact. This period really ended abou
70 years earlier than Is commonly sup
posed.

Persons Busy Making
Rubber Globules.
MANY GIRLS EMPLOYED
In Manufacture of Golf Balls Nearly
Mile of Stretched Thread Rubber
Is Tsed to Make Core, Milcli
Then Is Covered.
BY l'TlANK G. MENKE.
NEW YORK. Jan. 6. (Special.)
Nearly one mile of stretched thread
rubber Is used In the manufacture of
one of these tiny globules that the
golfers swat hither and thither with
such vim and gusto.
The making of a rubber-cored golf
ball is a mighty Interesting process.
First of all you've got to have a fac
tory and -machinery and hired help.
Then you go out and buy a few tons
of pure rubber. Having snared the
said rubber, which Is quite a trick in
these days of "scarcity-of-every-com
modlty," you proceed about the busi
ness of cooking the said rubber until
it's a rich, creamy brown or a dark
blue mess, or something like that.
The next step is put the bunch of
sticky goo Into a machine which flat
tens out the moisture. Having accom
plished this, you feed the flattened rub
ber to another machine which cuts It
Into fine threads of rubber. Then you
take a few armfuls of the thread over
to one of the girlish machine operators.
hand it to her and say:
Here. dear, get busy and make me a
nice little golluf ball.
Having done that you can go around
the corner and get yourself a bit of re
freshment. The girl does the rest.
What does she do? Oh, well. If you're
as Interested as that let's linger around
for a while and see what happens.
Core Is Formed.
There! See the girl taking a few of
these threads and bunching them up?
Well, she's forming a core. In a min
ute she'll put the core on one bobbin
and the rest of the threads on the
other bobbin. The machine starts
and round and round go the bobbins.
The big bunch of threads unwind only
to wind tightly around the ever-grow
ing core. Soon 1536 stretched yards
of thread are wound around the con
and the core that makes possible great
flights of the ball is completed.
Meanwhile the gutta-percha depart
ment has been busy making the shel
for the core. The material arrives In
raw state and is treated In what you
might call an exhaustive manner. First
the resin Is extracted. Then the prod
uct is masticated, washed and pu
through a process designed to make It
tougher than an Kast Side gunman.
Finally it is put into a roller which
squeezes out all moisture and then cut
Into sizes suitable for covers.
Hand Painting" Prevails.
The cores and covers then are fitted
together in automatic machines. Then
the ball goes to another department.
where It Is tested and made perfectly
round. The next journey Is through
a brambllng machine, which makes
those cute little dents that are found
in each and every golf ball.
As a last task the ball is painted
This work is done by girls. Machine
painting has not been very successful.
The girls use their hands in applying
the liquid. They fill their palms with
nice fresh paint and roll It around and
around. When the first coat has dried
they apply a second, a third, a fourth
and the nnal fifth.
And there here you are. a nice, new
golf ball, ail for the small and lnstg
niflcant price of 60 cents, or 75 cents
or VI. according to the grade.
Here are a few facts concerning gol
ball manufacturing: Number of golf
ball factories. - 6; total persons em
ployed. 600; average weekly outpu
each factory. 100.000; total yearly pro
duction, 5.300.000.

WINTER TRAPS GAIN
irst Tournament of Kind Held
10 Years Ago at Baltimore.
ENVIABLE NAME IS WON
Programme at Plnehnrst Country
Club Attracts Fans From All
Over United States Xeit
Sleet Opens January 15.
BALTIMORE. Md.. Jan. 6. (Spe-
lal.) Ten years ago this month
Leonard Tufts Inaugurated the mid
Winter trapehooting tournament at
the Plnehurst Country Club, Pinehurst,
N. C. and paved the way for the trreat-
est trapshootln&r tournament of the
Winter season.
The first Plnehurst tournament
wasn't a big: one. No one expected, it
would be; but It has grown each year
until now It attracts trapshooters from
every stato In the Union and Canada.
There was at least ono representative
from every state and the Canadian
provinces last year, some 130 shooters
In all. and In the touranment which
begins on January 15 and concludes on
the 20th more than 200 trapshooters
will participate.
The Plnehurst tournament has
earned an enviable name among' trap-
shooters. Those who attend one tour
nament always return, and they brinsr
others with them. During the past
three years the tournament fcrew fast
er than the management anticipated
and last year the clubhouse wasn't
lsaTeTe enough to accommodate the
pratherlng. This year It will be dif
ferent. A new clubhouse has been
erected. It is of brown stone and solid
logs, 30 by SO feet, divided into three
rooms, each with an open fireplace.
The clubhouse Is situated on the edge
of an oak grove about 100 yards from
the former quarters.
A total of 129.610 targets were
thrown at Pinehurst last January and
the dally attendance averaged more
than 1000 persons. There will be
twice, as many tarkets thrown this
time and there will be many more
spectators, because there will be more
class to the events. As an added at
traction Frank S. Wright, the former
New York State chamrion. and Fred
Plum, of Atlantic City. N. J., will shoot
for the all-round amateur champion
ship trophy. Wright hails from Buf
falo, N. . Plum is the present cham
pion. He defeated . L. Bartlett, of
Baltimore, for the title at the Westy
Hogan's shoot. Plum was originally
challenged by Henry Powers, of At
lantic City, but as Powers could not
shoot at Plnehurst. Wright asked to
be allowed to take his place. This event
will be shot on January 15.
The events at Pinehurst will be iden
tical with those of last year, the main
events belngr the preliminary and mid-
Winter handicaps; SaOOO in cash and
trophies will be given in the varloua
events. In the two handicap events
the shooters will be divided into
classes, based on the scores made in
the first 500 targets. There will be an
equal number of shooters in each class.
The trophies for the classes will be
the presidents, governors, secretary
and captains. By this system every
shooter has a chance to win a trophy.
Those who win in the preliminary han
dicap are not eliRible for trophies in
the mid-Winter handicap. The usual
number of trophies will be plven for
high averages at 600 targets and for
the entire week's shooting. Four traps
will be used. Pinehurst Is awaiting
the event. It will be a great week.
