Big Changes
By George Berts
"IMPROVEMENTS, calling: tor the ei
X penditura of several thousand dol
' lars, will bo made on the IS-hole courM
of the Portland Golf club next rear.
Plana tot the lengthening of the
course, re-routing: the branch of -the
Tualatin river- that wends its way across
the club's property, enlarging- the club
house and the installation of a reservoir
that will supply water for all greens.
were mapped out by the club's green
committee, which- ia composed of the
members of the board, at a long session
. last Monday night i

, The work has been started on a small
xcale already, but the main Improve
ments will not be started until sometime
in the . spring-,
fly 'revamping the route-of the creek,
. additional water hazards will be cro-
vided and a better drainage system will
be afforded.
When the tasks are completed the
Portland course will have a total yard
i age of some 20O feet, making : it the
longest in this district. The present
yardage of the course is GS30 yards,
about 170 yards under'what is considered
a standard- IS-hole course.
JTAHT HOLES LtHGTHEIfED
Considerable distance will be added to
the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth,
tenth, eleventh, twelfth and sixteenth
holes. The changes will probably change
the par and bogey figures of the course.
Par of the present course is 71. The
exact length of the course will not be
known until a survey baa been made.
The exact location of the new greens
and tees have not been decided upon
as yet and will not be until the creek
bed has been changed. The creek will
have practically a .straight course under
the improvement plans and will make
better water hazards than under present
conditions.
2 BYT WATER SYSTEM
The creek will be routed past the 10th,
' T6th, 17th and 18th tees. This will
eliminate all flood water conditions on
the course, but will afford Just as many
water hazards aa at present.
The reservoir, which will have a
capacity targe enough to supply the
demands of the entire course, will be
located in front of the Bristol hole, The
lake was to be dug out and the entire
piping system of the course will be
changed. Water for the greens now Is
secured from various places and last
summer several of the putting greens
became dry and hard as the result of
a shortage of water.
When the reservoir Is installed, the
eleventh tee will be shifted and tee shots
will have to be played across the reser
voir. The seventh hole also will be
affected by the -change.
WlU BE RE AIj COI7B.SE
"when all the Improvements are
made.- declared President William C.
Brljol, "the Portland Golf club course
Is etiKng to be a real course. The
changes that the greens committee have
decided on will improve the playing con
ditions and make the course a more
difficult one. Our new watering system
will enable us to have plenty of good
water for all times and there will -be
no danger of any of the greens drying
up next summer." i
Improvements . In the clubhouse call
for additional locker space and more
kitchen room.
GROWTH REMARKABLE v
The growth of the Portland Golf club
during the past Tew years. espwJ
in the hurt year, has been very remark
able. The whole organization was made
(over and the club now has a closed mem
bership of 600 members. .
President Bristol is an ardent booster
for the proposed West Side municipal
course. Immediately after the holidays,
plans will he made for the organization
of a committee to solicit funds for the
purpose of aiding the city park depart
ment in the Installation of the course.
The Portland club president has ap
posed a committee to work with the
Multnomah club committee., which was
named last week by the directors of the
"Winged M" . club.
Arrow Golf Played
By New Hampshire ;
College Students
Kew Hampshire college has taken up
arrow golf, a new game. It is played
with bow and arrow instead of club ana
ball and targets of straw sacks are
used to mark what In golf would be
holes. The faculty has taken to It In
a body and play dally over a nine-target
course Undergraduates also have
adopted the game." which was Invented
In Durham by Professor W. C. O'Kane.
The course at Durham has nine
"boles," or targets. These .consist of
sacks stuffed with straw, placed on poles,
the bottom of the sack being five or
si Inches above the around. The dis
tances between the targets are from 200
' to, 600 yards. The average player can
make a drive of 800 yards easily. The
. game, aa In golf, require that the cir
cuit be made In the least number of
"strokes" Some of the targets of the
present course are possible one-shot
.plays, as there are possible one-shot
holes In golf. I .
The arrow golf player requires little
equipment. Most of the players carry
one bow. two or three arrows in a home
made quiver, and a guard for the left
wrist because the string strikes down
on the wrist with great force. Arrow
golf can be played in winter as well as
in summer, and has been played often
over deep show drifts on snow shoes in
the face of bllxxaxds.
: Women Golfers Are
BarredFrom Course
The Bob o'Unk club, Chicago, recently
voted to bar women from the club here
after; making It the second Windy City
golfing organisation to take such action.
The other was the Old Elm club, at
wfak'h Alec Pirie is professional. The
matter of becoming an Rveless garden
was put up to the members at a recent
meeting, and although there was opposi
tion to the movement, its proponents
scored a victory. The new order went
Into effect Immediately. The argument
used by those in favor of the move was
that the majority of the members go to
the club in order to play golf and that
social affairs not only placed an addi
tional expense on them, but were main
tained only for the benefit of the few.

'ARTICIJE X.
A SERIES of chapters has been asked
for on how to play golf, with par-!
tlcular reference to beginners and those
players on the municipal courses who
have not had the advantage of profes
sional Instruction. Therefore, what I
have to say in these chapters will be
largely "old stuff to the practiced play
er and matter that he should know by
neart. ...
Before dealing Kith any department
of the game it seems proper to let this
first chapter consist of general practical
advice and suggestions to the beginner as
to the best way to take up the game.
Golf is too good a sport to be spoiled
by a false start, and with such a wrong
beginning a novice might be easily dis
couraged and thus defer his participation
in the glorious field of health and pleas
ure that the gam J affords.
DOHT GET DISCOURAGED
The most successful golfer is not iae
essarily a champion but rather he or
she who derives from the game the
greatest amount of renewed health and
the Joy of living. It Is naturally a very
satisfactory feeling to know that you
are more skillful than the majority of
your fellow players, but I know of no
sport where the player of lesser ability
can so thoroughly enjoy himself, or gain
such satisfaction in achieving his aim.
no matter how modest that aim may
be. However unskillful his game, he
can always Yind an opponent who plays
no better than he and with whom a
match can be as exciting as one could
wish. Such a match demands as much
moral and mental ability as does a con
test between champions of far greater
skill In the physical end of the game.
I believe that there is as much satisfac
tion to the "dub" player in breaking his
record aa there ia to the expert in break
ing his, although the numerical - differ
ence between the two scores may be 10
or 40 strokes. So, take up the game for
the pure sport of it, the joy of it, and
don't be discouraged if you make no
rapid progress toward being an expert.
This should be the first commandment
of a successful golfer..
CONCENTRATION BIG POINT
In the previous paragraph I mentioned
that a contest between evenly matched
players would call for the same amount
of mental and moral exercise regardless
of their actual physical golfing ability.
Perhaps for the beginner and the poorer
player there Is even a greater demand
on his nerves and thinking powers, for
his path to each hole Is usually more
devious and fraught with trouble. It Is
one of the greatest Joys of the game to
be able to test your ability to hold your
nerve at a tense moment, or to so con
centrate your mind on each shot that
you attain the best results possible with
in the limits of your physical powers.
Concentration is surely the keynote of
success In the mental side of golf. This
has been recognized since the beginning
.or tfte game and one or the rirst prin
ciples in the etiquette of golf has always
been that no player or bystander shall
move or speak while a player is mak
ing a stroke.
Beginners-and strangers to the' game
have wondered at this, accustomed as
they are to the cheering and ragging
at football and 'baseball games. The
reason is clear. Nothing must distract
the attention of the player if he is to
attain the high degree of concentration
Home-Bred Pros. Out After Coin
TIRE OF FREE
British Golfers
By Jack Telock
International News Serrice Sporting Editor.
NKW YORK. Dec. 24. America Is
surely the land of the Golden Fleece
as far as professional golf is concerned,
and some of the leading native-born
pros are beginning to pinch themselves
and wonder why, if British golfers can
make an annual "clean-up" In the United
States golfing centers, they cannot get
some of the money.
This exhibition stuff is getting on the
nerves of some of the crack home-breds
and small wonder. Harry Vardon and
Ed Ray took away a cool $20,000 each
for their three months' . tour here in
1820, and George Duncan and Abe
Mitchell stepped over last summer from
Britain and did fully as well as Vardon
and Ray. .
HEBD COMING!
It ts understood that next summer two
other British professionals, with Sandy
Herd, mentioned as the drawing card of
the team, will try their luck on American
links; This winter Jim Barnes and
Jock Hutchison, holders of the American
and British open titles, are going to the
coast for an exhibition trip. While
Barnes and Hutchison are representa
tives of American golf, neither Is a
native-born son.
So in all the "mopping up" that haa
been -done and ia on the books for fu
ture business, not a single American
home-bred golfer has benefited. This
seems hardly just to the many fine
golfers who were born on this side of
the 1 Atlantic, learned their game here
and have always, played here. It seems
reasonable to expect that a pair ef
American home-breds could do a little
successful barnstorming.
CSED TO BE GOAT
And the crux of the matter is that
some of them are giving this matter
serious consideration. Foremost of all
American home-bred golf professionals
Is Walter Hagen, twice American open

needed for the most successful execution
of his stroke,
A golf stroke executed by an expert
looks to be a simple thing, but in reality
It Is an intricate combination of wrist,
arm and body motions, the failure of
any one of which will cause the failure
of the whole. The proper spot to be
hit on the ball is a very small spot, the
center of the club head is a very small
spot and it takes mighty little to spoil
the proper contact between those two
small spots.
BEAD THE RULES
The first advice to a beginner is to
buy or borrow a copy of the Rules of
Golf. He may not understand them all
at first, but he can glean enough from
the rules, the glossary and the etiquette
of the game to know at what he Is driv
ing. Let him not try to master the mean
ing of any technical rule, but let him
acquire the meaning of the game as a
game.
Second,- regarding the choice of clubs
for a beginner to buy,' I should advise
the purchase of six clubs if possible.
These are a batssie, driving iron, mld-

champion and one of the best-natured
and best-liked men in the game. 'The
Hage," as he is termed, used to "get
the goats" of other professionals a few
years ago because he wore such a great
variety of flashy clothes and appeared
in a tuxedo at winter golfing resorts.
He drew a few unkind comments from
British professionals the first year he
went over to play in the British open,
but last year at, SL Andrews he was as
popular as any man there. He even
won the hearts of the old school Scotch
professionals when he took some of
them into his room, opened his trunks
and told them to help themselves to his
outfits. And they know he can play the
game. When George Duncan arrived in
England after completing his American
tour he told a golf ball manufacturer
who has since returned to this country
that "Hagen is the best of the lot in the
States."
PLATED MART TIMES
Hagen is thinking of going on tour,
and next summer will undoubtedly see
hint on the road. He plans to play in
the British open at Sani,vich and re
turn immediately to the United States.
Considering the number of titles he has
won and the fact that he is America's
foremost home-bred professional, and
baa been for a number of years, Hagen
has played in few exhibitions.
The first time be went to Great Brit
ain to play In the British open at Deal
he got just one exhibition, match there,
although he was at the time the Ameri
can open champion. About (he only
exhibitions he has had in America were
those in which he was asked to be one
of a pair to play against either Vardon
and Ray or Duncan and Mitchell.
Tommy Kerrigan, who finished so well
up in the British open last summer ;
Mike Brady and Leo Diegie are among
the leading native-born professionals
who have never done much ia the exhi
bition line. ' . ' -

during the national championships at
iron, mashie, mashie-niblick, and butter.
The shafts of the iron clubs should be
quite stiff and strong, but with the
brabsie a little springiness or "whip" is
desirable, provided it is not too floppy.
Some writers on golf have recommended
that beginners start with the Iron clubs
exclusively and not bother with any
wooden clnb, which ia designed for
greater distance, until the irons have
been more or less mastered. This is all
right but I should advise the early ac
quisition of a brassie and an honest ef
fort made to use it from the tee and
when long shorts are required.
LESSONS ADVISED
Lastly, I should strongly advise every
beginner who can afford to do so, be
fore he has acquired any "bad habits,"
to take a few lessons from a competent
instructor. Personal instruction is far
superior to learning how to play from
books or other written matter. It is not
everyone, however, who can afford the
time and expense involved in the taking
of Such lessons and these articles will
endeavor to take their place Insofar as
that is possible.

JAMES C. MORRIS, who was recently
elected president of the Portland Gun
club, plans to make 1922 one of the
biggest years In the club's history.
Plans are being made to create more
interest among the club members in fAe
weekly tournaments as well as In the
registered events. The weekly lunch
eons of the club will be resumed Janu
ary 18 at Hoover's and at that time
the prospects for the season will be dis
cussed by the members.
EIGHT BIO E TENTS
The dub has scheduled - eight regis
tered shoots for the season, the dates
of three having been set aa follows. Reg
istered club shoot, February 26 ; sec
ond Rose City hundred, April 8, 9 and
10. and the Pacific coast zone event,
July 14. 15. 16 and 17.
The fact that the grand American
event will be staged in AtlaiKic City
next August means that a number of
the Pacific coast shooters who usually
went to the blue ribbon event will be
content to attend the sectional shoots.
The recent ruling of the A. T. A. to
discontinue paying the fares of the
championship winners and the making
of the national championship an open
event may result in the coast cham
pions remaining at borne on account of
the long railroad Journey.

This is the personal opinion of Kay
McCarthy, a New York golf writer, who

a tour of the United States. -, . -
There was some talk of trying to land
the 1925 tournament 4 or Portland.' but
McCarthy's statement blasted the hopes
of the golf era Should the S6-bole course
be installed near Gearhart nextr spring.
it would not be surprising if a Wd was
made for the 1925 event, but unless that
is done there is no chance of the North
west landing the meet for some period
of time.
KOBE' GOOD ? LAYERS IN XAST
There are so many golfers in the
east," declared McCarthy, "that it would
be almost impossible to bring the title
tourney to the -coast for a number of
years, .- probably- from : seven to 10. - In
the Northwest there are about is play
ers who would stand any chance In the
national and it would be tar easier for
them to travel east than for the big
number of Eastern players to come to
this section of the country.
"Lm Angeles I understand, wants to
stage the national open championship in
the near future and it would not sur
prise me if they landed the event within
the next three years." ;
COURSES NOT UP TO STANDARD- :.
i "Another thing, that would probably
prevent the U. S. G. A. officials from
awarding the tourney to this part of the
country in 1925 is the lack of champion

they do not measure up to the standard

Barnes, who Is well known in' the
Northwest, was' enthusiastic over the
arowth of the game. in the' Northwest
Many new courses have been installed
since Barnes left the Nortnwest.
Rerret was. expressed by Barnes and
Hutchison because they were unable to
play their exhibition here. The length
of their tour and the time required to
play in the Northern California and the
California state open chantplonshlp
tournaments made it Impossible for them
to remain in. the Northwest.
If the tour is a financial success, it Is
likely that other professionals will tour
the Northwest next fall, but will arrange
their schedule of play in the Northwest
earlier than did Barnes and Hutchison.

"Washington's 1S21 golf season which

for the upsets which featured - nearly

to show consistent superiority over the

Are Boosted
By Chicagoaii
OF THE players at the National act
already mentioned In this symposi
um, there Is a sham division between
the old timers and the unknowns writes
A. T. . Packard in the Chicago Post The
first class is that group of sterling play
era or ten years or more ago, and who,
for- various reasons, have not kept paoe :
with the experts. The second class is
made up wholly of younger players who
are the real recruits for the champion-;."
ship class.
Chief of the first class are Al Seckel .
and John G. Anderson. In 1909, Seckel .
was runner-up to Chick Evans la the
Western, and in 1911 he put out Bob '
Gardner in the finals. Since bis victory""
in the Western he has not given enough j
time to the game to make a showing.
MUST BE IS TE1M . i J
Anderson was runner-up in the Ka-'
tlonal In 1918 to Jerome Travers, and
In 1HS to Bob Oardner. but 'in their.
humiiiiuntfl w m v..,, a.. ,1. ..1
rounds. In this group also are Max
Marston, E. IL Bankard and - possibly
a few others. They, all. are good golf-
ers and- might bring', their games back 4 r
to championship form if they had the'
will to win. In general, they content
themselves with week-end games and
'no practice work and get into only '
fairly good trim for tournament work, z
They know they have a chance against t
any one for a round or two and pomsi
bly hope to win on thier experience. That '
day- haa passed. Anyone who wins the .
National must be in the best of physi- i..
cal and mental trim and have, his game ,
making. . -
WEBER A COJIER . "r
At the head of the second class comes '
J. S. Jimmy" Manion. Opinion Is di
vided on his game. It is good enough
to win any ordinary match, but not
gooa enough to get farther than the
first or second round of match play in :
the National. If his. game Is at the top -he
is hopelessly out of it. If he can'
improve it a trifle, he has plenty of '
fighting spirit to take him into the
finals. If he could share with Bobby
Jones, half , and . half, in gold tempera
ment and golf skill, they would make '
a- pair to fight it out in the finals if '
they were in opposite halves of the '
draw. Dewey Weber and "I El Bun-'
ning also are In this class. Weber gave
Guilford a hard match in , the second '
round, winning his first match easily. - -Bunning
won a hard match from A. P.'
Boyd and lost an equally hard one to -Jess
Sweetser. More than anything,
they seem to lack the necessary accur
racy that comes from practice. Many

practice. The question is, does either ;
care enough to win to go through 'this
drudgery? In this class also are R. M.
Lewis, who took. Chick Evans to the, I
4lst hole in the 1920 National; C L. .
Dexter Jr. and Richard, Bockenkamp ;
In previous events they" have shown
their ability to play fine golf, but no. t
one knows whether they can play the;,
superfine golf necessary to win a Ka- .
tionat '
VOV ELM PEA1SED
' And now come the real unknowns so
far as National tournaments are eon-',
earned. Each ef them has won local.
district or state championships and each. '
was testing his spurs for the first time
in the National. Perhaps George Von
TJlm of Salt Lake led the group. He !
was touted aa a possible winner, but r
this claim was negatived by the lmpos-
Bibility of any new player' winning j
through a championship. He played aa
extremely promising game, however,
and fought hard before Guilford . put r
him out in the first round. Dewey
Weber put out R. E. Lord in the first
round, but will find him harder to deal
with next year, and decidedly the same
can be said of A. P. Boyd, the young,;
Georgian, whom L. E. Bunning put out ;
in the first round. Lee - BtelU, Clark ,;:
8pelrs, and Bon Stein of Seattle, Clarence
Wolff, and perhaps the most promising
of the lot,- Dr. O. E. WllUng of Port-
sima rittaw wkl e Vahei snv ant vhnrfl
may be a winner within three years.-
They made goo? qualifying in a high-.,
class field, where ex-National cham
pions failed to qualify. They and a
nn lika them will be in the 1922 tour--.
nament, and a number -of them wlH'
then laat bevond the first match round. :
The unexpected happens so often In '
a golf game that prophecies are futile.
In a tournament, however, history in
dicates that the dark horse has but lit
tle chance of winning a championship.
There Is no precedent of a winner of 'V
the National coming from the ranks of
the unknown. It is almost certain that
the 1922 winner will be one of those'
mentioned in this series. - - -
