Kvery night at Klint diirlng the recent Michigan state golf tourna ment a studious looking young man. wearing glasses, took up his posi tion at the reading table In the Y. lrC. A., to remain there most of the evening. Sometimes he would take a short trip for a soda water or a walk up the main thoroughfare. He never stayed away long, however, and generally was one of the first to re tire. This young man was Carlton T. Wells, a University of Michigan In structor, who before that week closed won the state golf cham plonshlp. Tame as those little jour neys over the streets In the Klint business section mlchl seem, they provided all the diversion ne de sired. He came there for a purpose to win the state crown and did not care to waste his time on any thing else. After a busy day on the links he welcomed a chance to sit around and relax in the evening and then retire early in preparation for another day. .

It was Just the opposite with most of the others, including some who were reckoned strong contenders for the title. Kvery evening there was a dinner engagement, then a dance or party at the club, which naturally kept them up late hours after this young chap Wells had arrived dreamland. One would suppose that Wells would have had an advantage over them when on the links as i result, and he certainly did. This latter group la not to be con demned. of course. Comprising It are young business men who seldom take a vacation except when they go away to a golf tournament. Away from the cares of their busi ness they are out to enjoy them selves and after spending the whola day on the links they welcome the opportunity to go to a dance or some similar entertainment in the evening. They were eager to win the cham plonshlp every bit as much so as wu the Ann Arbor youth but tour nament golf had become a little commonplace to them and they could hardly have been expected to deny themselves all the other pleas ures of tournament week just to be in tip-top shape the following day. When they were young say. Wells' age. and playing In their first or second tournament it was different. Then they. too. retired with the birds, knowing how it en hanced their chances the following day. That Is a way youth has when in hunt of a championship. NEW YORK. Aug. 12. While foot ball Is not attracting much atten tion these warm days, the coaches are not Idle. Only the other day a coach who Is connected with one of the most prominent elevens In the east said that his campaign for the year was. all planned and that by the time the season opened his attack would be perfected to such a degree that It probably would need little attention in the fall. The active playing time would be taken up with defense. "Defense." said he, "has fallen upon evil days. Not enough time has been given to It. It Is not branch of play that can be taken up for the moment and then dropped in order to strengthen the attack. On the other hand, the attack has reached something .approaching standard. It can be taught through formations. leaving . the individual polish until a little later. This is es pecially true of the sweep attack made from the 'direct pass with wide running "To stop this form of offense." he continued, "or t stop the offense that Is built around what, for lack of a better term, might be called close-order football, the kind that puts on the pressure and makes the sweep attack possible, not only Is the best of team play required, but degree of Individual finesse that has not been attained by coaches in recent years. There is a world of truth In this statement. Of course, it Is true that the forward pass In depth has done more than probably any other man euver to hold back the defense, but the number of sound defenses laat year against the short pass or the deep pass that is sound both In theory and practice could have been counted on the fingers of one hand.

The success of the Skokle championship proves that admis sions are popular. Begun a few years ago in the Red Cross exhibi tions, the practice has become gen eral, and soon the club holding a big event that gives the show gratis will be a rarity. From many points the Idea is a good one. In the first place, it means cutting off a few curious This: ones who only come to see what It is was probably a survival of the old all about.

They are more apt to . lmBO,.ible to see one of these line, only to find themselves out numbered and outplaced once they arrive ia the sone of action. There is In this a lack of finesse "n de fense. In the east as well as the west this coming season there probably will be an extension of the type of attack affected by Notre Dame and Pennsylvania State college. There are deception, power and sweep In these, and they also make excellent use of the deployed end. Changes In the rules have legislated the mo mentum end out of business, but the wide end is still something of a devastator on attack, taking the de fensive end or tackle, or perhaps the wing back. If the latter member can be put oat of business the play has better than ever an even chance. After the success of Notre Dame and Penn State last year, both sys tems were carefully studied all over the country, and it Is even possible that so conservative a system as that employed by Harvard will make use of them to some extent. These systems are more depend ent upon drill than upon individual execution for their effectiveness. with the result that they can be built UP In spring or summer prac tice, i SITE FOR IS3 OPEX XAMED In wood Country Club, Near Far Jtockiivtay, L.

Wild received notification from the United States Golf association. which selected the site with the ap proval of the Professional Golfers' association. The latter's champion- hip tournament waa held at In- wood last year. The course Is comparable, accord ng to experts, to that at Sandwich. Kngland. where the British open was played this year. It la located on a peninsula and ia bounded on three sides by Jamaica Bay. It is of the Scotch type of seaside circuits, most- y on level ground.

When some of the money is set aside for charity. It is easy to get a large gallery who would not object to paying any reasonable price. These matches are becoming popu lar. The pro is going to benefit greatly, as the purse willbe greatly Increased. The prixe given to the winner of" the big tournament Is $500. with the first ten cutting in on about $1500 on a downward scale. Of the prize money, the pros them selves contributed practically the full amount. In other words, the players In the recent championship were playing for their own money, as the entrance fee. as usual, was 15 and about 310 players teed up in the qualifying rounds. With the gate and the entrance about I1S00 was taken in at Skokle. The United States Golf associa tion. I understand, has. already out lined a plan to increase the prizes to meet the popular demand. I pre dict that the first prize will be as much as $1500, which would make It about right, as other expenses are to be considered. The second prize would be at least $1000 and the third money offered $750. and the fourth man should get as much as the -winner does now under the present prize list.. Beaeflt for Johaay Derm of t. When I won the British cham pionship a year ago I collected a purse of 75, which, at the rate ol exchange, made it about $300. Wal ter Hazen got the same this year. With an Increase to $1500 this would make the winning of our own cham pionship worth five times as much as the British affair. In Nashville this September prizes amounting to this much will be put up for the players to fight for. Fancy a minor invitation open being worth five times as much as the British open! This coming October at Philadel phia Walter Hagen and Joe KiHk wood are going to stage a match for the benefit of Little Johnnie McDer mott. who ia in a sanitarium. The match will be played against two other good men and the entire pro ceeds will go to Johnson, who 10 years ago. was regarded as our lead ing American homebred. He occu pied the same position- in American golf that Hagen does today. Johnnie was a golfer who pos sessed all the necessary shots In the game and, just like Hagen. had a lot of confidence in his ability to play them correctly. He first broke Into the limelight in 1910. He was a dark horse and a mighty fast one. He did not win the titie. but tied with Alex Smith and his brother for first place. He lost In the play-off. but the next year stepped out and won the championship for the first time. In the following year he re peated his victory. Proper timing has everything to do with the direction as well as Few golfers realize that this is the secret of their poor play. When a golfer begins to improve his game the first essential thing is to seek the company of better players. This will help to bring out his play more than anything else. I have heard golfers say that it made them nervous to play with anyone better than themselves. And for this reason they -would rather meet opponents who could not give them a match just for the sake of winning. That is wrong. If one Is going out for tourna ment play, the best thing is to get into fast company as quickly as possible. It helped young Hkrazen come to the front and1 it will help others. Sarazen got Into fast company as quickly as possible. He waa left hopelessly behind In the first few tournaments, but after he recovered himself and got rid of hia stage fright it was plain sailing. Gene's victory over me at InwoAd did him a lot of good. ' "When He Changes His Cirlp. I remarked at the time that It would start him going on his career, as he saw in my game that day notmng to get frightened over. Perhapa I wasn't at my best, but Gene did not realize this when we started. One interesting point that I ob served about Gene's game Is . his grip. When driving lie uses the interlocking grip, something quite different from most pros, but as his hands are not large and the fingers short he finds this the best way to noia me ciud. in the grip he uses, the little finger of the left hand is interlocked .with the first linger ot the right hand. The strange part of it is that he changes this grip In playing the maahle, the mashie-niblick or the putter. He turns to the over-laD ping grip or Vardon grip, which I explained in detail in one of my receni articles. waiter Hagen uses one grip for driving and iron play and then reverses it for . putting. This Is not uncommon. There is no weakness I could discover in Sarazen's driving, so the interlocking grip must be the best for him. His short game is as good as the average good player, it was a little better than that of the average good player at Skokie. There is not much putting left to do when Gene is right with his maahle. He can approach with the best of them. Gene uses orthodox methods mostly in all his shots this from association with the best golfers. His style will Improve even more as he goes on. Hagen's game did after he won his first cham- pionsnip. My own game does not resemble much what I brought to this coun try with me. Ouimet does not look much like the golfer that he was when winning his first big cham pionship. if champions can take the time to make themselves over, why shouldn't a duffer? Too many golf ers are content with their games. Too many are satisfied with what iney nave on nana. (Copyright. 1!22. by Bell Syndicate. Inc.) SOLDIER, BOXER SUCCUMBS RUTH'S RALLY PUTS PEP-.

Hug Insisted that not a itord be mentioned about It until after the trip. He felt chary about starting into , the country of the enemy with any comment or predictions floating loose in the baseball atmosphere. The trip is over and the Yanks broke better than even. Ruth played better ball than he had been playing prior to the time that the team started west and for these reasons the conversation with Huggins comes to be very good baseball his tory. It will now be in order for the New York baseball club to win he championship to vindicate the judgment of the New York manager. As a matter of fact the New York baseball club on its trip west played superior baseball to the other clubs n the American league. Very likely he managers of rival clubs made their estimate of what New York could do on the basis of what . New Y'ork did in the earlier'part of the season. Ty Cobb did not expect to see the Yanks win two-thirds of their games. Gleason thought they would be lucky if they broke even. Fohl of St. Louis, as usual, had nothing to say. Lee is a very con- ervative citizen except on the aft- rnoons on which the Browns win. You know he takes this baseball ear as one of vindication for him- e'f. He still feels that he was en- itled to a better deal in Cleveland, that he would have produced a win ing team there if permitted to go his own way. Trip l p to Standard. Tho trip made by the Yanks Is up to rtie standard of their trips of last ear when they won their first pen nant. Iff some years such a trip, might have broken the spirit of the ontender. Any baseball team win- ng approximately iwo games in three is playing the kind of ball hat discourages the other fellow.

That In class 1 a player returning, for the first time a net score- lowerf than the scratch score of the course should not have, his handicap re duced. but that when he does so t second time his handicap should be reduced by one stroke. That when a net- score is returned a third time another stroke should be taken off the player's handicap, but that a player with a handicap of one should have his handicap reduced only when the average of three sub sequent net scores is at least one stroke lower than the scratch score of the course. That a player who has made no net return to equal the scratch score of the course should have his handicap increased, but by no more than one stroke at a time That in class 2 no handicap should be raised by more than two strokes at a time and that on being handi capped out of this class the player's handicap should not be less than three, 'but no player should receive a lower handicap than would en able his score to equal the scratch score of the course.

Golfs Facts Worth Knowing. success of the champions That Huggins estimated Ruth's alue to his team better than any man who has spoken of Ruth as a ballplayer proves itself by the no ticeable improvement in the playing f the Yanks when Ruth began to strike the pace which he set in 1921. Those who shouted so vigorously hat the Yanks could win the pen- ant without Ruth shouted without profound knowledge of baseball. All eyes of the Yanks last year centered on Ruth. St. Louis, New York Set Pace. The middle of August Is at hand with St. Louis and New York mak ing the pace in both leagues and with not one of the four clubs show ing a tendency to be disconcerted. The Giants expected to run away with the championship after they had defeated St. Louis in the series which was recently played between under repair, but neither the player, his caddie nor his opponent can find it. Is be entitled to drop out ot this ground under repair, or must he go back and treat it as a ball lost, say in the zair- A. He must treat it as a ball lost elsewhere on the fairway, or rough that Is. go back and. drop another ball. Q. . Please settle the following ques tion: Player drives Into a brook travers ing the fairway, the ball disappearing over the bank approximately ten yards from a fence recognized as a boundary line. When the player and his caddie arrive the current of the brook has car ried the ball out of bounds. Is the case treated as a ball driven out of bounds, or merely dropped back of the brook with the penalty of a stroke? A. The ball should be dropped back of the point at which it entered the haz ard with a penalty of one stroke. Q. In a single match if a player's caddie lay his bag of clubs down off to one side of the green before going to take th flag, and the opponent in ap- them on the Polo grounds.

In less than ten days they were separated from St. Louis by a bare two points in percentage, which shows how far from being all over it is. Branch Rickey declares that if it ball match ? A. No. If a ball strikes a bag being carried or held by tbe opponent's cad dis the opponent loses the hole. In the case cited the Incident is considered a rub of the green. Q. What Is the correct method of ar ranging handicaps in a partnership, four- comes to game for game between his St- Louis Cards and the Giants he would win the pennant. That is a bold sta.tem.ent but there are times when it looks as if it may come to game for game and that the series which is to be played between ' St. Louis and New York on the Polo grounds in September will decide the championship of the National league. If the Cards had "taken advantage of their chances they should have been six days in the lead. On the other hand if the Giants had main tained their speed they should have been ten games in front. In that difference lies the uncertainty and the interest in its achievement. The Giants are a fading team. They need stimulants to revive them. The St. Louis team is a plugging outfit that can't take advantage of anything but by sheer force and brute strength is able to maintain a cer tain winning standard. A. It is customary to take three- eighths of the difference between the total handicaps of, he partners of the two sides. , Q. In a' handicap match against the par or bogey of a course Is a player dis qualified if he fails to hole out on any gives hole of the round? A. No. He only loses that hole to par or bogey as the case may be. PENDLETOX COACH ARRIVES Young Lnbadie Dies Without Re graining Consciousness. TRENTON. N. J..

TO Final Victory Will Give One of Two Great Players Permanent Possession of Trophy. "Little Bill" Johnston and "Big Bill" Tilden will battle to a finish this season for possession of the trophy, emblematic of the- national tennis title. Both have two victories on this cup and a third win will give one of them permanent pos session. ' Johnston Is playing better tennis than in years. His playing on the Pacific coast earlier in the season, when he made mincemeat of Vincent Richards and downed Tilden so de cisively, caused wonderment. At tha time it was a matter of argument whether he could keep up the pace and be In the same shape later on for the championships. Johnston wisely laid off tennis and gave the courts a wide berth until some weeks prior, to his departure for the east. That this move was wise is evident from the remarkable game he is now playing and the way he disposed of Norris Williams always considered one of the hardest men In the country to beat. Further proof of his ability was shown in the Seabright tournament when, paired with James O. Ander son, the Australian Davis cup star. Johnston outclassed Robert anil Howard Kinsey, the fourth ranking team in the country in doubles. Somn time ago Anderson cabled Johnston asking the Californian to "team up" with him in the United States dou bles and their match against tha Kinseys last week was the nature of a trial. It is now decided that John ston aud Anderson will enter the doubles as a team and from indica tions it will be one of the hardest teams to beat, the only one at pres ent considered to have a chance against it bells' the combination of Tilden and Richards, who have been named to play the doubles for this country in the Davis cup series. The men s doubles open August 21. Johnston, teamed with "Peck" Grit- fin, has three times won this title and is after it now with Anderson. The winners of the national doubles since 1881 follow: 1881, Clark and Taylor; 1S82-1884. Seare and-Xwight; 1885, Sears and Clark ; 188B-18S7, Sears and Dwight; 18SH, Campbell and Hall: 1889, Slocum Jr. and Taylor: 18DO. Hall and Hobart; 1SIU- 182, Campbell and Huntington; 1SSI3 1894. Hobart and Hovey; 1805, Chase and Wrenn: 1896, C. B. and S. R. Neel; 18f7- 1898, Ware and Sheldon Jr.; 181)8-1901, Davis and Ward; 1902-1903, Doherty brothers, England; 1904-1906, Ward and Wright; 1907-1910, Alexander and Haclt ett; llt.

Brookes and Patterson, Austria: 1920, Johnston and Griffin; 1921, Tilden and Richards. Kerr Would Aid Sox. In a recent Interview in New York,, Kid Gleason of the White Sox said: "If we had one more reliable p'tcher we'd get into the next world's series as certain as my name is Gleason." Wonder whether Co- miskey doesn't wish many times he had acceded to Kerr's salary re quest. With the little southpaw helping the Sox, Comiskey -would have increased his gate receipts many times more than Kerr asked as a stipena. j.ne via oui.cn in time saving nine" motto must have slipped Commy's mind at the time.
