GOLFING STYLES OF OUIMETAND TRAVERS CONTRASTED
Young Champion Learns Some Valuable Lessonsin Play With Irons While Watching
Experts Abroad.
n jiiii.n o. A.vnr.itsov.'omparl.on may be odloiiH but con-tm-
are Keldoni o. HeeldeH which oninoio than one occasion they may nerveuseful purpose. Coiiiinnit hag been frcIn dlscunulnt? tho different tye andmethod, of the amateur champion Fran-cl- a
Dulmet and tho Jtiromo.Travcr, and theresult of thvlr re-
cent hard foiu;ht.trii(sp;le h o:v ckindled anew tliavarlotn finw ofopinion. For thebenefit especiallyof those who havenot seen theseplayers in actionI will (ketch brieflysome, of 4he mainfeatures of theirmanner of playlnBthe name, and howthey differ from orresemble. eachother
In the lit Kt placeJOHN O. ANDERSON. It iniKnt be well
to not tfcftf rii.i.mtH stylo hns changed somewhat andchanged for the bftter. since he wasabroad last spring, Those who saw himwin the open championship at Urookllnwent away with the feeling thnt there wassti. I iii.Mi power to be revealed and oppor-tune. es for useful development In hisgame; and It Is only proper to sav thatIn many Instances Oulmet has improved.Tho most Important hit of Informationwc get from the amateur champion him-self, who says that when he llrst playedover the courses on thn other side andwatched the good golfers he was taken'Jf.onc" wlth tnclr ,lne lro" !l!'. whichdid not resemble his own method, Theluk swing was not so long and thereforewan more under control. He did not setat onci. about the changing of his style,for that would have been a serious matternt that stage, and It was not until lie hadreturned to this country that he dis-covered ho had unconsciously had be-queathed to h'm by the golfers on theother side a lilt shoitcr Iron swing whichimproved and steadied his game
In this connection I might note thatthe same fault of ovcrswlnging with Ironshas been noticeable in the game of one of.New York's best of the younger plavers,.Mnxwell It. .Marston. Oulmet In comment-ing on his play said but recently. "I wouldlike to tell Max that he ought to shortenthat bark swing of his with the Iron ; forhe In doing the same sort of thing whichI did last year Hut I don't wunt to buconsidered as presuming."
I nm mentioning this fact because Ithas not been much over a week since..Marston was out on the links under theexcellent tutelage of C.eorge Low, with thestrong determination to shorten up onthnt back swing and so round out hisK'ime Marston will ilnd that his go'fplay will increase In power when he ge'nout on the links next year.
Almost cverbody has his own manner"i unving, aim .Mr. Uulmet Is no excep-tion. (ImduaJly lue.ng the past two orThree years his left foot has been wUIngforward, until now t can bo asserted with-out fear of contradiction that he play.ion his left foot. The latter Is probablytwo or three inches In front of the rightfoot when tho bnckward swing Is ncoom-pllsuei- l.
This wrng has a 'swish and asweep In one The hands are thrownfairly high, but noticeably so, when thoclub heiul is carri-- back There Is aMight twisting nt tin. hips, which Is some-what after the manner of II irry Vardon.thus enabling Ou'niet, along with nprominent raising of the left foot In thei.acKwimi swing, to get n far carry baric.The moment of impact finds Mr. Oui-met- 's
right shoulder freely oomlnir downand forward, and then thn carry throughIs powerful, the arms and wrists workingIn pcrf.tt harmony. The whole motionis so free from artificiality that It strikesthe spectator at once that It Is the natu-ral outcome for Oulmet to get a longand straight ball. Some of this feelingmay be due to tho exhibition of youthfulstrength and the plasticity of thn ama-teur champion's muscles, which areplainly evident, but the fact remains thattho man In the gallery can find no kinkon which to lay his hand which wouldcause him to doubt tho arrival of anothersplendid drive.
Personally I think that Oulmet willmodify tils stance a trifle when he getsa few years more of young manhood golfnrvd stand neirer the ball. Hut as hehimself says, when be finds that hismuscles are tightening up then will betho time for him to sot about changinghis style on tho tee.
When we enmo to Mr. Travers n curl-- 1
ous thing la seen. There are supposedto bo two s'yles In golf so far as theart of driving Is concerned, tho flatswing nnd tho upright swing. HarryVardon Is an upright swinger, J. II. Tay-- 1
lor nearly the only great golfer whoswings (Int. Oolfers when they start Inplay one or tho other, although It is notan altogether uncommon thing for rigolfer to change from one style to theother. Hut In tho case of Travers we findthat ho starts with a turn over of thehands tow.inl the right when bringingtiu. womlen eluh head back, thus making .
the beginning of his swing that of n llatswinger. Then, when three-quarter- s ofthe way up. ho elevates his right arm nndshifts h's Hat swing Into an uprightswing. This produces a style thoroughlyimllvlrtiiAl. but with a fundamental faultwhich has caused havoo on more thanueeenil occasions. Hammering away onone style will bring n certain amount ofperfection, but It will not pay In the longrun.
Perth Mr. Oulmet nnd Mr. Travers nrmasters of Iron shot play, yet with stylessomewhat different. Travers plays afairly low hall when striving for distance,with a trajectory which promises a longrun Oulmet on the other hand hits a
ball which rises slowly nnd when It lnndsseldom skips along In rabbit fashion.Travers gets his liody Into his shot In a
fashion, If tho distance to becovered be far, nnd few Indeed are thegolfers who down w.nd or facing a galecan compete either In distance or directionwith him. When I see him play a longIron shot I nm reminded moro of themanner In which James Ilrald plays It
than any other golfer, not In the mannerof drawing the club hack, but near nndat the moment of Impact. The thud andevident purpose of tho shit carry thesame kind of conviction
'TIs said of Hrald that when h takesn cleek shot the ground around for manyyards trembles. Ho In some degree doesTravers descend on the unsuspectingrubber cole, The amount of turf whichhe take Is not considerable, but Travor.irarely If ever plays without taking a hit,unially Juat after hitting the ball.
In the short Iron shots Travers hasthe happy faculty of playing a low hitball which hns enough of hack spin tokeep tho ball within close proximity tothe spot where It lands, Thin Is, to mymind, the one shot where Travers excelsthe other players In Iho game. 1 amthlnklug now not of tho short tnnshleshots but of n distance approaching innva'ds, Travels and his Jigger In windi ml rain and fair weather can be de.ptndcd on lo come nearer thu hole In a,ivrn number of shotn than nny other
player In this shot Travers does notwholly .illmlnato tho notlceahlo hendlngof tho wrl't" at the tp of the swing,

but the raising of the rlnht elbow Isdone nwny with nnd then wo ilnd himnt hie very' best, which Is nn object lessonIn itself. WJth the Irons he Is nn up-right swinger pure and simple. Ills nrnnare held much ntlflur nt the moment ofImpact with a Jigger than when the shotIs mado with a mldlroit.
Mr. Oulmet turn patternod his iron ehotpiny very much after the manner of hisdrive. That Is to say, there Is no markeddegreo of difference In stance or swingexcept for thn distance which the clubhead Is carried bark. I attribute this tothe fact that be has made n consciouseffort to bo ns uniform as possible, and I'bellevo nlso that some If not tho greaterpart of Ills success has been duo to thisfact. Th'to are countless golfers whochange their stylo with each club. Somado this unwillingly, hut sien to thinkthat they arn under the restrictions of
'the length nnd the shape of thn variousImplements. Such is by no means thecase with Oulmet, for his whole gamefrom tho drive down to tho short mnshla"pitch Is built upon ono basic Idea.
I was much Interested when followingthe amateur champion lust month nt
to discover whether tflere whs nnydefinite amount of turf, approximatelyspeaking, which he thought It was neces- -
sary to take In the playing of his Ironshots. I am glad to say that he was and '
Is under no fetish Idea that It is abso-lutely essential to dig up real estate In j
order to get a lmna fide shot. When agolfer has a short nnd stocky swing It Isgenerally necessary for him to force someresistance In order to get a long ball, butwhen a player has a smooth swing, asweeping stroke nnd the ball Is sitting upnicely he may, like Mr. Oulmet, decideto play It clean, or else take n minimumof turf. On his cleek shots the amateurchampion Is still prone to tnkn n fullswing, but ns thire come so seldom wemay forgive him for his lapse from tho.orthodox belief.
A contrast on thn putting side Is veryentert lining, for both Traver and Oulmetarn splendid putter. To my mind thereIs llttlo comparison so fnr as the styles,go, Travers easily taking the prlre. Hutnt the same timo it mint be rememberedthat Oulmet has set a new style nltoge titerfor followers of the gamo to imitate, t'p tolast year at (liirden City there probablywas not one golfer In a thousand who!putted In the manner similar to Ouluut'sKtyic. It was his own Individual effort,nnd yet it must be admitted that fromevery standpoint except that of looks.perhaps. It has sound features. Hut al-
though this method presents to the eveease, gri1.ee. a feeling of security thatthn ball will travel toward the hole andthat It will be hit squarely, although we1admit these facts wo still find that It Istin Individual putt which cannot bo ac-
quired without the hardest of workand which can bring a sea of troublesto tlm if be Is Just a wio bitoff
Perhaps a bit of detail may help Inshowing how the champion putts, liesays: "In my putting 1 take a static" wellover tho ball ; In fact my head Is ellrectlyover tho ball, and the latter is about mid-way between tho two heels, tho stancebeing fairly opon. I have tried puttingoff tho left foot, but hnve found thatthere was a tendency to stab tho ball.Taking the club back my wrists do not

ing from the left shoulder and comingback from the right, like n pendulum,tt Is the right hand which Imparts theblow, and I endeavor to get a distinctfollow through with th face of the clubhead at nhso!utly right angles ti thehole. I do not attempt to bold a rigidposition, but nllow my body to go for-ward slightly toward the hole The clubhead at the finish of the stroke Is be.tween three and four Inchns nbovc thoground, a result which cannot bn nierl-- 1
torlously gained by n stabbing stroke"How different from the way In which
Jerome Travers views matters and playsTravers In his book on the gamo In-- 1
slsts that putting Is a test of nerve andconfidence. He ts to all In lent nndpurpose corre-ct- , for them uro very fewpersons who would disagree. Trnvers's '
style In putting, standing with tho feet'i- oo together, tho right foot In front.Performing the stroko with only thnhands, wrists nnd arms, with Out hadstill as a rock, rvspnihlcH Oilltnet In thisono very particular matter, that he tootakes a pendulum swing with a straightfollow through,
Hut 1 would like to proffer the sugges-tion that In the Oulmet method of puttingthere Is less need of this oxactlng m-rv-
and confidence. 1 have watched theamateur champion many Onus In hiseighteen hole matches and dlscoveu-- thatas soon ns be got Into the body swing, soto speak, Just as soon as his arms we'reworking freedy and In unison, heputted like ono possessed. This has hap-pened time and again. It Is as prominentwhen the match being plaved Is a friendlyaffair as when a championship dependsupon the good work on the gre en.
This will bu evident, I am sure, tothoso who saw Oulmet In his play at thnamateur championship at Manchester. Intho early part of several of his rounds hnwas putting badly for him, the ball Justsliding by thn hole,
"Just lis soon as my putt gets back Iwill get out In front." said Oulmet, andhe was right In his suimlsi'. I believe thathis style of putting gets Its best resultsmorn from physical perfection than froma control over nercs.
This would bo a delightful thought tohundreds of golfers, but thu trouble isthnt thorn nro fmv who can successfullyImitate the champion In his style. I h iveseen many who have tried, but never onewho has had any nurc-ss- .

Within the pist few days the HlgChief of tho Hraves ha been haunted byvaudeville ufents who are trying to thrusta moderate fortune Into his bands,
"I have received some ll.itterlng offers,"said Oeorgo yeisterday at tho SomersetHotel, "but so far I havo remained ob-durate. I confess that I am not rlenand that the money might como In handy.Perhaps nfter I get home and realize theextent of the cotton disaster I may wishI had remained a victim to the lure ofgold.
"I firmly believe-,- " continued Stalling,"that I could get away with the theatricalbusiness about as well as I have withhasebiill. And if It were not for the factthat smiio people might Interpret m.vserious intentions as simply a subterfugeto make easy gains I should try theventure. Wu an- - nil ambitious. I havebeen twenty-tw- o years In baseball andhave done nothing of wnlch I need beashamed. Should I decide to maku thoplunge into theatricals you may he surethat I will try to give tho theatregolngpublic a much value for Its money ns I
have alwnys tried to give my baseballpatrons."
As a preparation for possible trans-gression on his own pait the Hlg Chief be-
came an Impromptu playwright and stagemanager Saturday night. He visited n

Small Investment Needed toJJuy Good Car Is What
Keeps Market Up.
ACOUSTOJCED TO IUDE TOO
It has? been a source of wonder to manypersons, soma of them In the automobiletrado Itself, that the business of pollingmotor earn 1n this country has kept tipas wotl on It has. In splto of tho greatwar and Its unfavorable effect on a num-ber of othor Industries In this country.Yet the explanation ot this appears to hoslmplo nftor all. Thero tiro two reasonIn tho xplnnntlon. One I thnt auto-mobiles are cheap and tho other thatfolks are too much used to automobilesto glvo theim up. That Is to say, the auto-mobile is approaching the stage of lininga necessity rather than a luxury. Just anhorses and carriages used to be.
If tho great war had horn fought threoyears ago, say, the automobllo businesswould havo been knocked flat At thattlmo nn automobile that now car. bbought for anywhere from 11,200 teill.SOO couldn't bo touched for fromJ3.000 to nearly J2.R00. That I whatIs meant by saying that automobiles armcheap now and for that reason follrsaren't balked from buying them. A manwilt readily epend Jl.OOOwherohocouMntthink ot spending (3.000. Then too ho hntho guarantee nowadays that his car willbo cheaper to maintain than It was, sothis element 1s smaller.
In these present times a good automo-bile, one that a man would not beashamed lo elrlve anywhere, r in bo imtfnr almost nny price he wants to pay.There Is every grade of real elrivnblo,serviceable automobile from 4 10 up toabout J2.000. Pretty nearly tho top ofluxury nnd service Is reached when 12.000Is passed, speaking In n broad, generalway.
There nre cars to be bad atound JSOOthat satisfy all thn needs of many men offamily. If a mnn cares to go only a llttloabove $1,000 he can gi t ti very elaboratecar Indeed. Thero Is a. rnnge of selectionthat Is widor than the man who hasn'tlooked Into the automobllo question hasnny Idea of. So It Is plain to seo whyfolks keep on tiiiylnu cars. Tho Invest-ment for each poison Isn't ns vast, by ahalt or moro and there nro moro folttabuIug cars nil tho tlmo.
Theso remarks apply to the groat ty
of persoh. because tho averageof cars conforms to these conditions.Thero ore of courso cars that cost moroand nre worth all they cost, but they arenot made In thn numbers that the lowerpriced cars are produced, because tin ymust necessarily appeal to a morn limitedclass. Hut people In gcieral evre findingthe automobllo moro a convenience nndless something to show. There nro manypersons who use their rnrs to get aboutIn from place to place, not for touriimalotio. In fact the day of the man or bisfamily riding only at week cuds Is prettywell played out.
Tho automobile as a necesnty in Ameri-can life was a topic brought up nt thoannual meeting of the American BankersAssociation ri'Cently at Hlrlunond, Vawhere for a wonder some kind words weresaid for the motor car. To ho sure, twas a Detroit man. William Livingstone,president of the Dime Savings Hank there,who mado the addrewm on "Twelve Yearsof Continued Progres tho True Statusof the Automobile Industry." He madethe statement that thn automobile wasamong tho necessities of tho country andno longer to bo classed as a. luxury. Itmay be that legislators who receivedvigorous protests from rural users of carswhen they purposed to put n war taxon automobile got an Idea too that thecar wasn't any "city mn,n' toy "
Among the Interesting figures hrouehtout by the Detroit banker was tho factthat there aro 1,100,000 ears In ue InthL country', with nn approximate tlgureof 450,000 cars as a production for thonext twelve month. to bo sold by 15,500automobllo dealers. Ho said there were13,630 gainges, 1.2S0 repair shopj andCS0 supply houses. Thero aro 450 listedmanufacturers of motor vehicles. Includ-ing 170 maklnif gasolene pleasuro cars,245 gasolene commercial cars. 77 eyclocars. 27 motor fire appatatus, 18 elertrlopleasure cars and 21 electric commercialvehicles.
The nddro-- s showed tha- - exports lastyeur wero J.H.DuO.000, which of courso Ismaterially disturbed by tho foreign war;that 47 icr cent, ot tho coat of an auto-mobile Is In the labor; that future markotsHo not nlonn in thu farming dUtrlois andtho middle classes who can afford tho lowmaintenance cost of the preent dnymoduls, but that tlm foreign countriesmust buy a largo number of our vara Intho future.
