ROBERT Fl. MUD DRIVING

WRITTEN O THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
The victory of Jarns> Braid. the Rom
ford swiper." in the open golf championship
of Great Britain is another triumph for
the natural and hari-hitting golfer over the
chaste swinger and careful player of the
old St. Andrews style. Braid is known as
the hardest hitter in England. or the world.
for that matter. He Is good for 80 yards
of tee right along. and can hit with his
cleek as far as with his play club. His
drive goes into the wind almost as far as
with it. He plays eff his right foot and
keeps the ball low. Braid never has been
remarkable for his accuracy. and his short
game has always been inferior to that or
many others. The chances are that at least
part of the play at Muirtield was in windy
weather and where there was a lot OF
driving to be done into Il stin wind. IN
such going Braid Is invincible.
A remarkable feature of the open cham
riouship was the close play Of Nardon and
Taylor. who were paired together. |arcon

An inch and one-quarter supply pipe, which passed

bottom of the heater with small studs became
loose and by reason of the vibration of the and
the agitation caused by the passing of air through
the heater rubbed against the bottom of the heater
until the metal reduced to the thickness of
