Travcr, and the result of thvlr re- cent hard foiu;ht .trii(sp;le h o:v c kindled anew tlia varlotn finw of opinion. For the benefit especially of those who have not seen these players in action I will (ketch briefly some, of 4he main features of their manner of playlnB the name, and how they differ from or resemble. each other In the lit Kt place JOHN O. ANDERSON. It iniKnt be well to not tfcftf rii.i. mtH stylo hns changed somewhat and changed for the bftter. since he was abroad last spring, Those who saw him win the open championship at Urooklln went away with the feeling thnt there was sti. I iii.Mi power to be revealed and oppor- tune. es for useful development In his game; and It Is only proper to sav that In many Instances Oulmet has improved. Tho most Important hit of Information wc get from the amateur champion him- self, who says that when he llrst played over the courses on thn other side and watched the good golfers he was taken 'Jf.onc" wlth tnclr ,lne lro" !l!'. which did not resemble his own method, The luk swing was not so long and therefore wan more under control. He did not set at onci. about the changing of his style, for that would have been a serious matter nt that stage, and It was not until lie had returned to this country that he dis- covered ho had unconsciously had be- queathed to h'm by the golfers on the other side a lilt shoitcr Iron swing which improved and steadied his game In this connection I might note that the same fault of ovcrswlnging with Irons has 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 would like to tell Max that he ought to shorten that bark swing of his with the Iron ; for he In doing the same sort of thing which I did last year Hut I don't wunt to bu considered as presuming." I nm mentioning this fact because It has not been much over a week since. .Marston was out on the links under the excellent tutelage of C.eorge Low, with the strong determination to shorten up on thnt back swing and so round out his K'ime Marston will ilnd that his go'f play will increase In power when he ge'n out 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 or Three years his left foot has been wUIng forward, until now t can bo asserted with- out fear of contradiction that he play.i on his left foot. The latter Is probably two or three inches In front of the right foot when tho bnckward swing Is ncoom-pllsuei- l. This wrng has a 'swish and a sweep In one The hands are thrown fairly high, but noticeably so, when tho club heiul is carri-- back There Is a Might twisting nt tin. hips, which Is some- what after the manner of II irry Vardon. thus enabling Ou'niet, along with n prominent raising of the left foot In the i.acKwimi swing, to get n far carry baric. The moment of impact finds Mr. Oui-met- 's right shoulder freely oomlnir down and forward, and then thn carry through Is powerful, the arms and wrists working In pcrf.tt harmony. The whole motion is so free from artificiality that It strikes the spectator at once that It Is the natu- ral outcome for Oulmet to get a long and straight ball. Some of this feeling may be due to tho exhibition of youthful strength and the plasticity of thn ama- teur champion's muscles, which are plainly evident, but the fact remains that tho man In the gallery can find no kink on which to lay his hand which would cause him to doubt tho arrival of another splendid drive. Personally I think that Oulmet will modify tils stance a trifle when he gets a few years more of young manhood golf nrvd stand neirer the ball. Hut as he himself says, when be finds that his muscles are tightening up then will be tho time for him to sot about changing his style on tho tee. When we enmo to Mr. Travers n curl-- 1 ous thing la seen. There are supposed to bo two s'yles In golf so far as the art of driving Is concerned, tho flat swing nnd tho upright swing. Harry Vardon Is an upright swinger, J. II. Tay-- 1 lor nearly the only great golfer who swings (Int. Oolfers when they start In play one or tho other, although It is not an altogether uncommon thing for ri golfer to change from one style to the other. Hut In tho case of Travers we find that ho starts with a turn over of the hands tow.inl the right when bringing tiu. womlen eluh head back, thus making . the beginning of his swing that of n llat swinger. Then, when three-quarter- s of the way up. ho elevates his right arm nnd shifts h's Hat swing Into an upright swing. This produces a style thoroughly imllvlrtiiAl. but with a fundamental fault which has caused havoo on more than ueeenil occasions. Hammering away on one style will bring n certain amount of perfection, but It will not pay In the long run. Perth Mr. Oulmet nnd Mr. Travers nr masters of Iron shot play, yet with styles somewhat different. Travers plays a fairly low hall when striving for distance, with a trajectory which promises a long run Oulmet on the other hand hits a ball which rises slowly nnd when It lnnds seldom skips along In rabbit fashion. Travers gets his liody Into his shot In a fashion, If tho distance to be covered be far, nnd few Indeed are the golfers who down w.nd or facing a gale can compete either In distance or direction with him. When I see him play a long Iron shot I nm reminded moro of the manner In which James Ilrald plays It than any other golfer, not In the manner of drawing the club hack, but near nnd at the moment of Impact. The thud and evident purpose of tho shit carry the same kind of conviction 'TIs said of Hrald that when h takes n cleek shot the ground around for many yards trembles. Ho In some degree does Travers descend on the unsuspecting rubber cole, The amount of turf which he take Is not considerable, but Travor.i rarely If ever plays without taking a hit, unially Juat after hitting the ball. In the short Iron shots Travers has the happy faculty of playing a low hit ball which hns enough of hack spin to keep tho ball within close proximity to the spot where It lands, Thin Is, to my mind, the one shot where Travers excels the other players In Iho game. 1 am thlnklug now not of tho short tnnshle shots but of n distance approaching inn va'ds, Travels and his Jigger In wind i 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 not wholly .illmlnato tho notlceahlo hendlng of tho wrl't" at the tp of the swing, THE SUN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1914. but the raising of the rlnht elbow Is done nwny with nnd then wo ilnd him nt hie very' best, which Is nn object lesson In itself. WJth the Irons he Is nn up- right swinger pure and simple. Ills nrnn are held much ntlflur nt the moment of Impact with a Jigger than when the shot Is mado with a mldlroit. Mr. Oulmet turn patternod his iron ehot piny very much after the manner of his drive. That Is to say, there Is no marked degreo of difference In stance or swing except for thn distance which the club head Is carried bark. I attribute this to the fact that be has made n conscious effort to bo ns uniform as possible, and I 'bellevo nlso that some If not tho greater part of Ills success has been duo to this fact. Th'to are countless golfers who change their stylo with each club. Soma do this unwillingly, hut sien to think that they arn under the restrictions of ' the length nnd the shape of thn various Implements. Such is by no means the case with Oulmet, for his whole game from tho drive down to tho short mnshla "pitch Is built upon ono basic Idea. I was much Interested when following the amateur champion lust month nt to discover whether tflere whs nny definite amount of turf, approximately speaking, which he thought It was neces- - sary to take In the playing of his Iron shots. 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 a golfer has a short nnd stocky swing It Is generally necessary for him to force some resistance In order to get a long ball, but when a player has a smooth swing, a sweeping stroke nnd the ball Is sitting up nicely he may, like Mr. Oulmet, decide to play It clean, or else take n minimum of turf. On his cleek shots the amateur champion Is still prone to tnkn n full swing, but ns thire come so seldom we may forgive him for his lapse from tho. orthodox belief. A contrast on thn putting side Is very entert lining, for both Traver and Oulmet arn splendid putter. To my mind there Is llttlo comparison so fnr as the styles, go, Travers easily taking the prlre. Hut nt the same timo it mint be remembered that Oulmet has set a new style nltoge titer for followers of the gamo to imitate, t'p to last year at (liirden City there probably was not one golfer In a thousand who! putted In the manner similar to Ouluut's Ktyic. It was his own Individual effort, nnd yet it must be admitted that from every standpoint except that of looks. perhaps. It has sound features. Hut al- though this method presents to the eve ease, gri1.ee. a feeling of security that thn ball will travel toward the hole and that It will be hit squarely, although we1 admit these facts wo still find that It Is tin Individual putt which cannot bo ac- quired without the hardest of work and which can bring a sea of troubles to tlm if be Is Just a wio bit off Perhaps a bit of detail may help In showing how the champion putts, lie says: "In my putting 1 take a static" well over tho ball ; In fact my head Is ellrectly over tho ball, and the latter is about mid- way between tho two heels, tho stance being fairly opon. I have tried putting off tho left foot, but hnve found that there was a tendency to stab tho ball. Taking the club back my wrists do not Into play ut all (note thla aston- ishing fact), tho bukward motion ntart-- 1 ing from the left shoulder and coming back from the right, like n pendulum, tt Is the right hand which Imparts the blow, and I endeavor to get a distinct follow through with th face of the club head at nhso!utly right angles ti the hole. I do not attempt to bold a rigid position, but nllow my body to go for- ward slightly toward the hole The club head at the finish of the stroke Is be. tween three and four Inchns nbovc tho ground, 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 plays Travers In his book on the gamo In-- 1 slsts that putting Is a test of nerve and confidence. He ts to all In lent nnd purpose corre-ct- , for them uro very few persons 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 thn hands, wrists nnd arms, with Out had still as a rock, rvspnihlcH Oilltnet In this ono very particular matter, that he too takes a pendulum swing with a straight follow through, Hut 1 would like to proffer the sugges- tion that In the Oulmet method of putting there Is less need of this oxactlng m-rv- and confidence. 1 have watched the amateur champion many Onus In his eighteen hole matches and dlscoveu-- that as soon ns be got Into the body swing, so to speak, Just as soon as his arms we're working freedy and In unison, he putted like ono possessed. This has hap- pened time and again. It Is as prominent when the match being plaved Is a friendly affair as when a championship depends upon the good work on the gre en. This will bu evident, I am sure, to thoso who saw Oulmet In his play at thn amateur championship at Manchester. In tho early part of several of his rounds hn was putting badly for him, the ball Just sliding by thn hole, "Just lis soon as my putt gets back I will get out In front." said Oulmet, and he was right In his suimlsi'. I believe that his style of putting gets Its best results morn from physical perfection than from a control over nercs. This would bo a delightful thought to hundreds of golfers, but thu trouble is thnt thorn nro fmv who can successfully Imitate the champion In his style. I h ive seen many who have tried, but never one who has had any nurc-ss- . Mr. Trnvers's method, thnreforn, appeals to th" golfer as being tho one neare-s- t perfection and ho who, would win nt golf must, of course, oontrnl his nerves and possess confidence not only on the putting green hut with each succeeding shot.

And tho "Human Crab" Is the object of all tho fuss and clatter. Ho has been toasted and banqueted many times before several times. In fact, since Stalllngs's men wrested the crerwn from tho Athletics but In no manner so elab- orate as tho entertainment which will witness his crowning triumph PreparHtions.havo been made for 4,000 guests. It was necessary to press Into commission all tho galleries and assembly rooms of the armory to provldo table facilities, Kvery ono who amounts to anything In Troy will b there, from tho Mayor to tho bat boy of the local team. Oov. Glynn and fellow Executives front several adjacent Ktates have accepted In- vitations.

He will go direct to Haddocks, Ca., from Troy Within the pist few days the Hlg Chief of tho Hraves ha been haunted by vaudeville ufents who are trying to thrust a moderate fortune Into his bands, "I have received some ll.itterlng offers," said Oeorgo yeisterday at tho Somerset Hotel, "but so far I havo remained ob- durate. I confess that I am not rlen and that the money might como In handy. Perhaps nfter I get home and realize the extent of the cotton disaster I may wish I had remained a victim to the lure of gold. "I firmly believe-,- " continued Stalling, "that I could get away with the theatrical business about as well as I have with hasebiill. And if It were not for the fact that smiio people might Interpret m.v serious intentions as simply a subterfuge to make easy gains I should try the venture. Wu an- - nil ambitious. I have been twenty-tw- o years In baseball and have done nothing of wnlch I need be ashamed. Should I decide to maku tho plunge into theatricals you may he sure that I will try to give tho theatregolng public a much value for Its money ns I have alwnys tried to give my baseball patrons." As a preparation for possible trans- gression on his own pait the Hlg Chief be- came an Impromptu playwright and stage manager Saturday night. He visited n of Hank CSowdy ami Dick Ru- dolph and was far from satisfied with the stvie of entertainment plnnnret for them. On the spur of the moment the big boss mapped out a rw nnd novel stunt for his star battery. .Htallli gs's nervous system Is somewhat frayed as the result of the drive through the last three months of the senson. However, as n Southern gentlemnn. ho Is thankful for this annoyanco as ho figure It was the means of saving some of his Hraves trom committing lesn incjeatc yes- terday. L'nable to sleep soundly Stalling, arose unusually early and by chance over- heard a local baseball prompter announcing to a friend that he had secured several of the. Uoston cham- pions to nppoar ngalnst a colored team In this city yesterday nftcrnooni. Stnlllngs at once got In touch with his players and explalni'd that such a pioceedliig would not look well for champions of the world. One of the players Involved was of South ern birth. He said the Hraves had not been Informed of the fact that their pros-pectl- opponents were negroes. RUBE MARQUARD FANS FIFTEEN. I'nolllclnl Olnnts Defeut Artrii Srml- - Proa, ft to O.

ACOUSTOJCED TO IUDE TOO It has? been a source of wonder to many persons, soma of them In the automobile trado Itself, that the business of polling motor earn 1n this country has kept tip as wotl on It has. In splto of tho great war and Its unfavorable effect on a num- ber of othor Industries In this country. Yet the explanation ot this appears to ho slmplo nftor all. Thero tiro two reason In tho xplnnntlon. One I thnt auto- mobiles are cheap and tho other that folks are too much used to automobiles to glvo theim up. That Is to say, the auto- mobile is approaching the stage of lining a necessity rather than a luxury. Just an horses and carriages used to be. If tho great war had horn fought threo years ago, say, the automobllo business would havo been knocked flat At that tlmo nn automobile that now car. b bought for anywhere from 11,200 tei ll.SOO couldn't bo touched for from J3.000 to nearly J2.R00. That I what Is meant by saying that automobiles arm cheap now and for that reason follrs aren't balked from buying them. A man wilt readily epend Jl.OOOwherohocouMnt think ot spending (3.000. Then too ho hn tho guarantee nowadays that his car will bo cheaper to maintain than It was, so this element 1s smaller. In these present times a good automo- bile, one that a man would not be ashamed lo elrlve anywhere, r in bo imt fnr almost nny price he wants to pay. There Is every grade of real elrivnblo, serviceable automobile from 4 10 up to about J2.000. Pretty nearly tho top of luxury nnd service Is reached when 12.000 Is passed, speaking In n broad, general way. There nre cars to be bad atound JSOO that satisfy all thn needs of many men of family. If a mnn cares to go only a llttlo above $1,000 he can gi t ti very elaborate car Indeed. Thero Is a. rnnge of selection that Is widor than the man who hasn't looked Into the automobllo question has nny Idea of. So It Is plain to seo why folks keep on tiiiylnu cars. Tho Invest- ment for each poison Isn't ns vast, by a halt or moro and there nro moro foltta buIug cars nil tho tlmo. Theso remarks apply to the groat ty of persoh. because tho average of cars conforms to these conditions. Thero ore of courso cars that cost moro and nre worth all they cost, but they are not made In thn numbers that the lower priced cars are produced, because tin y must necessarily appeal to a morn limited class. Hut people In gcieral evre finding the automobllo moro a convenience nnd less something to show. There nro many persons who use their rnrs to get about In from place to place, not for touriim alotio. In fact the day of the man or bis family riding only at week cuds Is pretty well played out. Tho automobile as a necesnty in Ameri- can life was a topic brought up nt tho annual meeting of the American Bankers Association ri'Cently at Hlrlunond, Va where for a wonder some kind words were said for the motor car. To ho sure, t was a Detroit man. William Livingstone, president of the Dime Savings Hank there, who mado the addrewm on "Twelve Years of Continued Progres tho True Status of the Automobile Industry." He made the statement that thn automobile was among tho necessities of tho country and no longer to bo classed as a. luxury. It may be that legislators who received vigorous protests from rural users of cars when they purposed to put n war tax on automobile got an Idea too that the car wasn't any "city mn,n' toy " Among the Interesting figures hroueht out by the Detroit banker was tho fact that there aro 1,100,000 ears In ue In thL country', with nn approximate tlgure of 450,000 cars as a production for tho next twelve month. to bo sold by 15,500 automobllo dealers. Ho said there were 13,630 gainges, 1.2S0 repair shopj and CS0 supply houses. Thero aro 450 listed manufacturers of motor vehicles. Includ- ing 170 maklnif gasolene pleasuro cars, 245 gasolene commercial cars. 77 eyclo cars. 27 motor fire appatatus, 18 elertrlo pleasure cars and 21 electric commercial vehicles. The nddro-- s showed tha- - exports last yeur wero J.H.DuO.000, which of courso Is materially disturbed by tho foreign war; that 47 icr cent, ot tho coat of an auto- mobile Is In the labor; that future markots Ho not nlonn in thu farming dUtrlois and tho middle classes who can afford tho low maintenance cost of the preent dny moduls, but that tlm foreign countries must buy a largo number of our vara In tho future.

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,

THE SUN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1914.

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

Into play ut all (note thla aston-ishing fact), tho bukward motion ntart-- 1

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- . Mr. Trnvers'smethod, thnreforn, appeals to th" golfer asbeing tho one neare-s- t perfection and howho, would win nt golf must, of course,oontrnl his nerves and possess confidencenot only on the putting green hut witheach succeeding shot.

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

CONTINUED SALE OF

AUTOS IS EXPLAINED

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.
