By George Eddy. x
- GrenkepinsT ts a dLffteult 6wk--It
la really a work of art. and mora
so where golf is played all tha year
round. It is ' especially true where
you get tha long; dry summers, which
mean mo much artificial watering.
Artificial watering Is all right
where it is impossible to - keep good
CTeens without It, but thre l dan
ger in too much watering. It tends
to make the grass very aoft and
much weaker. It also tends to In
vite slugs and worms to th greens.
Where tnere are many worms In
greens, there are bound to bo a great
many weeds. I have sfen a good
many greens ruined la this way.
I advocate keeping aa near to na
ture as you possibly can. Again,
where there Is not ko much artificial
watering the turf iw more resisting,
harder wearing, and will withstand
more dry weather. The turf becomes
thicker a th roots of the. grass go
deeper into the ground. Good healthy
grass will not die out as soon as a
good many think. It may look a lit
tle brown, but a good shower or two
will bring It around again. In a
good many places, . splendid greens
may be kept without so much water
ing, if they are treated In the right
way.
Should Not Imitate.
There are a good many mistakes
made in this way. Oftentimes thosd
In charge of the " greens and the up
keep of the cowrse try to Imitate
what other clubs are doing. Bat this
is a mistake. What applies to one
course does not necessarily apply to
another and even on the some course
some of the greens have to be treat,
ed differently from other. One great
mistake, and, indeed, a aerioua draw
back, is due to the changing of pro
fessional too often. The course is,
therefore, compelled to suffer. The
greens committee and boa of 'the
members may understand "the 'work,
but In most case I have found that
they cannot give the time to It that
It should have. A good professional

The top picture eIiowb combination,
the Waverly Golf club. Below
at Waverly. The small phot
known professional and green
and greenskeeper' forms the backbone
of a good golf courso and a success
ful club.
It certainly requires a good deal
of hard work to get practical knowl
edge of greenskeeping. This is ab
bolutely necessary to be successful in
this line of eervice. Professionals
and greenskeepere are oftentimes
criticised more than they deserve to
be in relation to the upkeep of the
course. This is especially true when
players are off their game. A good
manr greenskeepers have not the
chance to show their ability simply
because their clubs have not the
money to carry out the work which
ought to be done.
In my experience . in the couth I
find Bermuda grass is the only grass
that does well and will stand the hot
climate. Very fine putting greens
can be made from it, if well looked
after and top dressed often with sand
and fine soil mixed. It also has to
be kejJt very closely cut. Once Ber
muda grass gets established in the
soil it will never die out. It also
makes very fine fairways, and is
very easy to keep down, as it does
not grow very high. It does best
in sandy soil.
Grass Better Zt Bested.
When golf courses are closed for
certain parts of tha year, it is much
easier to keep good greens. They
get a rest, and the keeper has a fine
opportunity to place them .in good
shape for the next opening.
There is one very important matter
and that is the rolling of golf courses.
My experience leads me to believe
that too much rolling is done, especial
ly on the putting greens. I agree
that the grounds nave to be kept
firm, but in a good many cases it is
overdone. Where the ground is
packed down too hard the surface be
comes hidebound, consequently the
grass wiltt soon die out This applies
more to (he fine fescues. Bermuda
and other coarse grasses will stand
more rolling. One must remember
that where a course is in constant
play the surface packs harder than
most people realise
Some courss will stand for more
rolling than others, for" the reason
that where ground , is very rich and
there is a lot of growth it tends to
be soft; but there is not much life
in poor soil, and it always tends to
become harder. The red clay soil
and all other clay soils, for that mat
ter, become very soft alter a heavy
rain. Most people, no doubt, would
advocate heavy rolling -as soon as
possible after the rains. Thfs is a
mistake. It packs too hard and in
jures the grass. A light roller may
ba used to smooth the surface, but it
certainly should not be packed too
hard, as it helps to impoverish the
ground.
Boiler II arts Bandy Soil.
Again, there is the seaside sandy
soil. Borne may think that sandy
soil cannot be rolled very much, but
that is also a mistake. I have seen
the fairways rolled so that very fine
moss and fungus appear. This is
especially true of the putting greens.
Where this happens it is a sure sign
that the roller has been used too mcuh.
Many a good green has been ruined
in this way. Eventually, it means
that the greens have to bo forked up
so that the air can penetrate to the
roots of the grass. -More greens have
been ruined by. overrolltng then undr-
rolliJig. If a green gets a rough
surface, it is always better to top
uress with fine sifted soil in, order
to make it smooth. '
I have used, and have seen used
several makes of lawn mowers, but
there is no better machine made than
the Shanks of Arbroth, Scotland. It
Is especially adapted for rolling
ground and hard wear. The gasoline
machine is all right, but is usualy
too heavy. If they would make them
half the weight, more would be used.
That is the one criticism I v have of
the heavy machines. A good many
courses are beginning to show the
effects of the heavy gas mowers.
Hot Enough Xttm Used.
j. nere is one uung laciung on a
good many courses, and that is lime.
Lime is never used as freely as it
ongnt to be. it helps to retain mois
tore and makes Bandy soil less porous.

Hfe.
constituents of plant
There are a great many mistakes
made by greens committees in fertil
izing. Insoluble . manures should b
used in the autumn, so that they will
become decayed in the following
spring, when the grass can absorb
them. Soluble manures should be ap
plied when the grass is growing; so
that it may be absorbed at once. If
applied when the grass is dormant.
It will do no good. Tha best manure
to be had is farm yard manure, pro
duced by cattle fed on oil cake and
cotton seed meaL It should be mixed
with peaty soil and left to decay for
nearly a year before using. A good
preecskeeper should always look out
for this, and always have plenty on
hand. The composition should be
turned and mixed at least four times
during the year. At the end of that
time it will be ready to be used. If
it is put to a fine screen it may be
applied without Interfering with the
play.
Never use clay soil for top dress
ing putting greens, as it is injurious
to the grass and is liable to bring
bare spots in the greens. Always use
good light loam for top dressing.
TJse Discretion In Cutting.
Tn cutting the grass it ordinarily
should b cat fairly dose to the
ground, but In very hot weather care
should be exercised so that it is
not cut too close, as the fine fibre
of grass is always nearest the sur
face, and is more liable to burn out.
Tlie same treatment also applies in
frosty weather. See that the lawn
mower Is always kept sharp, as a
blunt blade helps to stop the growth
of grass, because It braises instead of
cutting clean.
There are two seasons for grasses
one for the root, the other for the
foliage. Wnea grass Is dormant, that
is the time It ia developing its root
and penetrating deeper into the
ground. I have found the tall of
the year the -best time to sow lawns
or putting greens, for the reason that
all through the winter the grass is
making root and going deeper into
the ground. It will thus withstand
the dry summers far better. Grass
that is sowed in the spring has not
the chance to make roots, because it
tends to bring the roots nearer the
surface, while growing.

New fork, Oct. 17 "If these wo
men go on improving at the rate they
re doing at present they will very
soon be nearly as good as you men."
This was said to me, says Harold
A. Hilton, shortly after X had played
the memorable match with Miss
Leitch, and in view of the result of
that encounter X presume that I should
nave . promptly acquiesced with that
opinion; but having other views on
this subject. I replied: That will
never be, as long as woman is woman
and man is man. Nature absolutely
precludes a woman from playing a ;
game in which any degree of physical
force is necessary as well as a man.
They have not the physical attributes
necessary for the playing of forceful
games, and. moreover, they are not
gifted with the fine muscular touch
of the male being."
The touch of the average woman
may be lighter than that of the aver
age man; but it lacks those catlike
proportions of power and touch which
are essential in the playing of all
games, even the comparatively gentle
and less forceful of games, billiards.
I have heard people solemnly assert
that if ever women took to billiards
seriously they would of a surety prove
better at the game than men, if only
on account of their more delicate
touch; but you will never find a pro
fessional billiard player to indorse
this view. Woman may have the more
delicate touch in the sense that it is
more fragile; but It fails in muscular
application, and that is why the fair
sex have not the same command of
the club as the male being has In the
playing of the more delicate shots in
golf.
It is In this department of the game
that, in my opinion, the man holds
such an enormous advantage. His
muscular touch enables him to play a
certain class" of shot with ease, while
the lady player is always striving
hard to accomplish a similar result.
This display is not in any way due to
the fact that the man is the cleverer
exponent of the two; it is simply the
result of the difference in the physical
attributes. There are limitations to a
man's power in the playing of strokes
at golf. There are even .greater limita
tions in the case of the fair sex, and
the whole question, when discussing
the relative merits "of the golfing man
and the golfing woman, resolves itself
into the argument as to which of the
two sexes has taken the fullest advan
tages of the attributes which nature
has presented them with.
That is an
argument upon which it is well nigh ! From rough grass .where the ball is
impossible to exprees a view; but I ' heavily baried it Is much better it-l-do
not think that at present there are Icy to take a short grip on the handle
greater possibilities in the way of im- j of your niblick and make as strong a
provement in conection with the game tearing stroke as you can, than to seek
of the fair sex than in the game undue distance with any other club
played by the stronger sex, as there
is always the probability of some su
perathletio woman making her appear
ance tn the realm of golf and produc
ing a game some strokes per round
better than the best lady player of the
present day, while in men's golf we
would appear to have nearly ap
proached the limit of excellence, as it
is a little difficult to imagine any hu
man being playing the game in a more
successful manner than Vardon, Braid
and Taylor when at their best.
Women golfers are at a serious dis
advantage, as compared with men, in
many ways, and most of these disad
vantages are in relation to physique,
as they are weaker in every depart
ment of the human frame, and this
comparative weakness means lack of
stability and balance, and although I
have seen it stated that women are
more elegant when playing the game
than the male golfers, this is an opin
ion with which I do not agree, as the
man has an infinitely better balance
in tbe upward swing of the club.
Moreover, one bas only to compare the
photographs of the sexes at (liferent
times in tbe finish of the swing of a
golf dub to realize this. Where Is tbe
lady golfer to be found whose upward
swing can compare with Mr. Ball in
the matter of grace? And again, can
one name a member of the fair sex
who can be said to finish the swing
with the same elegant degree of con
trol that Harry Vardon exhibits? They
do not exist.
Woman's great saving
grace in this question of elegance is
the habiliments she wears. Feminine
fashions aid her in hiding inelegant
actions in the lower part of her anat
omy.
Tha malorltv of women eolfera
attired in the garb of boys would ap
pear extremely inelegant players. On
the other band, the addition of a skirt
would add greatly to the attractive
ness of the methods of many a man,
and it may be said that an extremely
long skirt will cover quite a multitude
of sins of inelegance.
If there is one portion fit the human
anatomy in which a woman Is strong
er than another at least, compara
tively stronger it is in the forearm.

and when she is called upon to apDly
her strength in any exceptional degree,
it will invariably be noticed that it Is
the forearm which she will bring into

to the playing of the game of golf.
Some lady golfers who have developed
short 'swings trust almost entirely to
the strength of their forearm in ob
taining length. On the other hand,
there are some who rely upon the ex
ceptional freedom of joint which the
average woman enjoys. With this ex
ceptional freedom and llssomeness she
can perform feats which the average

Polished Crabs. A highly polished

attractive than one filled with rusty

to be more chance for the ball to slip

Many clubs are made with me

NAVY TELLS WHY
PHILADELPHIA IS
FAIREST PLACE
s
Middies Compelled To Be
Awake 22 Hours Before
Game,
Why the navy prefers Philadelphia
for its annual contest with the army
on the gridiron is explained by the
naval academy "Log," which says
"We have always approved of Phila
delphia as the most central of the
cities mentioned and our opinion stiU
seems very reasonable. .
In fact, the experiences of last Kn-
rvember demonstrate the unfairness of
the choice of New York to tha brig
ade of midshipmen. For 22 consecu
tive hours last fall tbe midshipmen
were awake, traveling most of the time
and laboring under the most intense
excitement for the rest. There . was
no liberty, nothing to give us a few
hours of recreation and forgetfulness.
The, cost of the trip was something
over $S each.
The cadets, on the other hand, were
but little more than 60 miles from
New York. Their Journey was short
and pleasant, and they were put to lit
tle expense. After the game they had
an opportunity for a big liberty, a
change of scene and a little rst.
The distance from Annapolis to
Baltimore Is about 25 miles; from
there to Philadelphia 35, a total of
120 miles of travel each way .for the
brigade. From West Point to New
York is 50 miles, to Philadelphia is
90 more, a total of 140 miles. Compare
this difference of 20 miles io the enor
mous difference of lS which existed
last fall."
