The tournament will he the first national
meeting undertaken by the Englewood
Golf Club. Championships are thought by
som clubs TO be more trouble than they are
worth, and az the course has to be coddled
and spared for six months beforehand the
members have to give up much personal
enjoyment for the good of the national
game. The trouble Of handling the cham
pionship crowds is considerable.
There is one request to the public from
the Englewood tournament special COM
mittee, but it is made With bated breath
and in trembling tones:
wont the women who are to follow
the matches please leave off their high
heeled shoes?" ask the committeeman.
The committeeman, most of whom arc
bachelors, believe that the request will
be generally observed by the women who
intend to join in the galleries; but the
married members of the club arc not
saying a word. The tramping over the
course of a crowd does not do it any good,
especially on the putting green's; but there
is a spe cial danger when high heeled shoes
are worn.
The dainty footgear work all sorts Of
evils to the putting greens. With each
imprint Of the heel a semi oircular depres-
sion is made on the turf hat spoils the lie
Of the ball, places it in a hazard, half buried
on the sward that should be as level as
billiard table. Imagine the feelings Of a
player who walks boldly forward, expecting
to win a match by a fine put, and finds the
ball in a depression from which only q
niblick will move it.
Beside even l. n t actually held in one
OF the heel holes, a green honeycombed
with them is not safe t put over. The ball
will be bumped of the true line, wabbling
from the shoe like a drunken sailor
instead Of rolling on in a straight, winning
course for the cup. On fine, sunny days
the high heels leave such hazards in tho
tracks Of the fair owners, but on moist soil
the havoc wrought is as deadly as though q
harrow had go g over the green's.
Golfng girls and matrons wear only COM
mon sense heels on the links. but what the
committeeman are worrying about is an
invasion of no~n-playing femininity in
garden party dresses and all that this I'M,
plies in modish footwear.

Colonel said.
Force is the law Of the jungle; force,
supplemented by craft and agility. 1t is not
always mere brute strength that wins;
the leopard is much inferior to the lion or
tiger, but what he lacks in strength he
makes up in his lightning swiftness and his
cunning. Y.t
sHe has no more fear OF man than the lion
or tiger and the trainer dislikes him more
than either Of the other big beasts. A
woman can get more out Of a leopard than
a man, as you may observe il you watch

group.
"A trainer never likes to admit that he
cannot conquer an animal. Sometimes, l
might gay many times, when an ugly and
unwilling brute finally refuses to be trained
the keeper treats it just as the brute
itself might treat another creature Of less
strength that it didn't like in the Jungle

this way. ,--t .

Col. Mundy, unlike a large number OF
other owners Of shows, is a trliner and
breaker Of animals himself and still goes
into the cages with his beasts. He says
that IL his trainers went on strike he would
be able to do many of their stunts himself.
The only creature that the Colonel never
has had any success in educating is the
snake, which Is about as susceptible OF
training as oysters or angle worms. All
Is to make them lift their heads. He is

The par score Of a course represents
the ideal play on each hole, allowing two
puts on each green. The Metropolitan
Golf Association has adopted a par table,
for the purpose Of handicepping; which
by the use Of fractions equalizes the chances
OF par being beaten on a single put to a
green, or too easy second shots. 1t has
been in use for three years and fits every
course 80 we'll that it has been adopted
informally az the national par score.
A player going great guns may beat
par in establishing a record. The par at
Montclair is rs. and both Jerome Travers
and Will Anderson have done 70. At Garden
City it is rs, and Walter Travis has lone
u there. At our st. Andrews the par is
70, and during the recent M. G. A. cham
pionship there Travers twice equalled it
in the qualifying round and Travis once,
while Jack Hutchinson has had H.
These phenomenal records prove the eff
cheney Of the NJ. G., A. par as the basis of
ideal golf. To apply the American par
to the Scotch st. Andrews, the result is
37h, Ss-75H, which is beaten by the re-
cord held by the amateur, Norman Hunter,

These sta ~tistics, while caviare to the
multitude, are the finest Of food to the
golhng contingent, and they are analyzing

deavor to forecast what best record will
be established during the amateur cham
pionship. To beat the par is the secret
resolve Of every player as he lands with his
bag Of clubs on the Englewood veranda.
To continue the comparison with the
hardest course to score over of the British

A hole OF about 400 yards or up to $50

difficult to play uniformly in settled figures
in all sorts OF weather. There are three

holes-which must be made in I or 5 to
balance the par figures on them-will be
constant problems before the resourceful
players this week at Englewood and keep
up their hopes of a record round.
Another stimulus to the strong will be to
pinch of a 3 on sone of the six par 4 holes.
TO beat par. in the parlapce Of the Phila-
delphia amateurs, is to get a bird. Such
an achievement is possible through a fine
approach on several Of the half dozen PSF

scores to think about, for under the system

A oongested links, as golfers term it, was
the bane of the SO hole round with a large
field to be played on but one day. As a
relief but eighteen holes will be played on
Tuesday and another eighteen holes on
Wednesday. There will be no shots spoiled
by undue haste. The player making the
best score on the thirty-slx holes will re-
oeive a special prize.
There will be a rope TO guard the first tee
and officials Of the United States Coli Asso-
citation will be at q table within the enclosure
and call out the players in the order in which
they are paired. DISC Ialifcation awaits
the procrastinator, although fifteen minutes
grace is allowed.

which the ground slopes for 800 yards to

A 4 is also in order for the third, 400 yards,
but it requires trying as the par ia ~.

a sand trap will catch a topped second. ,
The fourth Is also a debatable 4, a stream
catching a tapped second and grass being
a hazard If of the line. The 800 yard fifth
is a cinch 4 for a long driver who holds the
green on the second, but it inclines and the
approach is none too easy.

gets home on the terraoed green should
get a 4 and a 5 is like taking candy from

The eighth is just a mashey pitch, but
the $40 yard ninth will demand respect
from those who seek a 4. A cop bunker
guards the green.
Turning for home, the 522 yard hole is
met with. To get a 5 the ditch must be
carried on the drive and a wide sand trap
on the second. A cleek should carry the
eleventh green, which is bounded by call
grass on three sides.
The twelfth is a nice 4, but the next a
hard one. The fourteenth, although only
3iS yards. requires a neat second to carry a
cop bunker and hold the green. Long
drivers have an opportunity to carry a

get a bird with a 4.
Only two perfect shots will gain the AT

rounds until but two are left in for Satur-
days thirty-six hole final.
The pair defeated in the semi-inal will
receive bronze medals, to be guarded there
after az jealousy as diamonds, but lone OF
the Others will receive any token that they
have golfed and lost. The winner in the
final receives a gold medal and his name
is inscribed on the championship cup,
which will be held for the year by his club,
and the runner up gets a silver medal.
The graduation of precious metals Is a nice
distinction Of the degree OF fame earned
by the medalists.
On match play days the gallery at the
first tee breaks up into squads to troop
after noted players and to follow, over hill
and dale, every hole of their struggle. On
score days the interest, save to a few close
students Of the game. dwefs only in the
opening drives and in the approaching and
putting on the home green, so that the
clubhouse and lawns are always the gayest
places on the course.
But on match play days the onlookers
after the different pairs brighten this course
in all directions; on the semi-f1nal afternoon
there will be two armies in the field, and
on the final day one vast ~concourse, held
at a proper distance behind the two players,
their caddies and the referee, by 9 long
rope stretched across the links and carried
along by those in the front line.
The aspect IL a pleasing one In fine
weather, when the bright costumes and
hats Of the ONE and goling toggery Of
the men make the front line a perambu-
latory rainbow. The gallery is faithful
In transforms, but mackintoshes and UNI
brellas do not add to the picturesque.
There is plenty Of interest in the matches,
no viewer, on the earlier days. A putting
green banked by lines Of onlookers forms
a stage on which every emotion Of the two
players is clearly revealed.
The Englewood championship will be
the twelfth under tn rule Of the United
States Golf Association. The summer be-
fore the start OF this organization there
were two. At Newport William Lawrence
beat c. b. Macdonald for the title at medal
play, 1888 to 1850, and at st. Andrews L. b.

for the same distinct on by 1 up.

a pillar Of the American game, and, still
working in it's interests, he has now in mind
a club that will nave an ideal links planned
to include the principles Of the most attrac-
tive holes Of the British links.
Macdonald won as the representative OF
the Chicago Golf Club, although he is now

New York in that year beat Chicago for the
first time.
There was still higher honor for New
York the next year, 1890, as on the On
wentsia links Herbert NJ. Hartman,
Meadow Brook Club, gained the distinction
Of being the first homebred golfer to gain the
amateur championship. Douglas was run
ner up, then and also in 1900, when Walter
j.. Travis won.
Travis won again in 1901, and Louis N.
James, a Chicago boy at Princeton, Won in
1902. Travis gained his third and greatest
victory in 1908, when the championship was
at match play throughout without a qualify
ing round. He has not lasted very long in
the competition since, but in 1904 attained
the greatest honor the golfng world holds
by winning the British amateur champion
ship. The first time the cup ever left
British soil was when it came for that year
10 the Garden City Golf Club.
H. Chandler Egan Of the Exmoor Golf
Club, Chicago, won the title in 1904 and 1905.
He was captain of the Harvard golf team the
first time he won. Egan will defend his
title and, II on his game, he may win for the
third time.
D.. E. Sawyer, runner up last year, is also
a Chicago player. Harold Weber and W.. C.
Fownes, Jr., the bronze medalists, are also
possibilities.

the importations, of whom the most Ian

E. M. Byers, George A. Ormiston and E. f.

The Boston delegation will lose a strong
card in Arthur Lockwood, who has won the
Massachusetts, championship three times.
He is to return to England to live. Phila-
