GIRL IN CLASS BY SELF i-Alexa Sterling Has No Worthy Op ponent In Gamo at Which. She Excels by Wide Margin Three tads May Win This Year. 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, NATIONAL GOLF CHAMPIONS 1 Cv fri : -l W&, i - V fa--- t?- - jf - " ;; i t&if.-vtf.- iys riywrnKLPi' U , i V-K t tjy tJS- -V I I 1 (rbv-'Lva 1-1 sr Miss Alexia Stirling won the women's National golf championship from was the surprise of the 1916 campaign Jones, Adair and others could unseat Evans, Travers and Ouimet.

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 youthful champions.

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.

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.

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.
