to Tulsa TO attend these people. The

Golf Championships in .
France Begin July |

The open golf championship Of France
will be held at La Bouille, Versailles, on
July l and 2. The present champion
is Arnaud Massy. The amateur cham
pionship will be held over the same
course and opens on the fourth of July
and continues for two more days. Chick
Evans Is the amateur champion of
France
The open championship ~of Great
Britain will be held at Muirfield on
June Il, %, "a and 25. The CHAMPION
ship proper will begin on June "a. The
present champion is Harry Vardon. The
chances are that Jack McDermott, the
first native born American to win the
American title, will compete in this
big event, the golfers at Philadelphia
having raised a purse to pay his ex-
penses there. With him will go several
other professional cracks from this
country. The open tournament here
will be held after the British event in
the hope that some of the big British
event here.
The British amateur championship
will be held the week beginning June
at the Royal North Devon Golf Club
at Westward II. Whether Chick Evans
may decide to enter this big event is
uncertain as he may decide to defend
his French title. Harold Hilton, the
international hitle holder, has written
President Strawn, of the United States
Golf Association, that he will defend
his American title, and will also bring
with him a number of the best amateur
players OF Great Britain.

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. 29.-The most

midshipman who is considered to have
shown the greatest ability as an athlete
during the year. The race is an interest

ton consider the number of sports in
which notable work has been done as

however, consider a specially remark

Dalton, who has been the mainstay of
the football team in ground gaining

This performance Is unrivaled in the

How to Make Some of
The Hardest Golf Shots

Possibly Of all the shots that bother
the average golfer. the one which is the
most difficult to execute 10 the bunker
shot. This is particularly true, whether
the game be at stroke or medal play.
A shot or two in the bunker during a
stroke competition will ruin what would
otherwise be a splendid score. In match
play 1t means the loss of hole and
possibly the match.
Here Is the stroke to use, as suggest
ed by Walter ]. Travis:
THE proper stroke when you are In
a bunker is somewhat akin to a blow
you take when you are chopplng. 1t is
as nearly perpendicular as you can
make 1t. The essential part of the
stroke Is that when the club is brought
straight down you must turn the wrists
as soon as the club has gone beneath
the surface Of the sand. The club is
turned almost at right angles.
IF you are near the face of the bunk
er, or trap, hit farther back OF the ball
than when 1t lies some distance from
the face. OF course. you understand
that the ball is never hit. The sand will
carry the ball out. The stroke will take
some practice, but once mastered, IL
never fails. Be careful not to close the
eyes IN making the stroke. Many golf.
ers have a tendency to shut the eyes
for fear of getting sand in them. The
result Is that the shot Is hopelessly
ruined. Incidentally. golfers ought to
spend more time practicing in bunkers
son that most golfers have trouble In
getting out is that they find themselvec
obliged to make a stroke with which
they are unfamiliar"

with the athletic authorities at Prince

Many Veterans.
Although some eight or nine of last
years point winners were graduated
in June, much veteran material re-
manned at Princeton for a nucleus of
1872 troupe. and the track men OF last
years freshman team are now eligible
TO represent the university.
Manager Kingsley is endeavoring to
have Yale run two-mile relay with
the Tigers again this year, but as yet
has received no definite word from New
Haven about the matter
Last year the Blue representatives
won from the sons of Old Nassau by
over fifty yards, and the New Jersey
athletes are anxious to wipe out the
stain of last springs defeat by a VIC
tory on March 2.
Sawyer, the leader Of the Tiger band,
will undoubtedly run on the relay. as
well as in the 440-yard event. 1t Is in
the Guarter-mile that Sawyer performs
most brilliantly. Last spring. in the
dual meet with Yale, Sawyer captured
the 440-yard event, and also finished

FORD IS NOW ONLY
AMERICAN ENTRY
IN FRENCH RACE
Other Cars Made in United
States May Register
Later.
BY HARRY WARD.

America has one entry in the French
grand prize automobile race. 1t is q
little Ford. and 1t has q hard grind
mapped out for IT,.
While only one Amcrican-made ma
chine has been entered to date, it is
expected one or two other machines
from this country will be entered with
in the next three weeks. In addition to
the American entry, one CT the most IA
nous drivers this country has ever pro-
duccd will participate in the classic
event. He Is David Bruce Brown. the
young millionaire sportsman. of New
York. who has signed a contract to
pilot one of the italian entries. Bruce
Brown won the last two Grand Prize
races in This country. and is confident
he will be able to annex the French
classic when i: is run in June.
The French Grand Prize event IS
unique by reason of the distance to be
covered. 1t has been decided that the
test shall comprise a distance of loo
miles. to be covered on two corsecu-
tive days, the cars to be placed in a
the close Of the first day, and only
handed over to their respective drivers
few minutes before the start on the
second day. 1t is considered by the
racing board that the stamina Of the
cars only can be revealed by a long
distance test of this nature.
Final entries for the race will be re-
ceived at double fees-s600 for a single
car and $500 for full team of four
until March l. 1t Is confidently ex-
pected several additional makers will
come into the race before that date,
making a total entry list of nearly
sixty machines. The race probably will
be run over the famous Dieppe course.
In the case of new makers or
makers testing untried products, there
may be something to learn from speed
contests. but 1t Is matter of record
that with COMPARATIVELY few exceptions,
none of the old-time manufacturers are
indulging In contests of speed" says
BENJAMIN Briscoe. one of the leading
makers OF the country, who Is trying to
have the American Automobile AsSo-
citation abandon control of motor car
racing.
Many of the older makers" he con-
tinued, "appreciating the fact that the
ity and endurance of motor cars. are
competing in reliability and endurance
| runs, which supply ample evidence OF
the leadership of American motor cars;
Except in the case where cars OF
abnormal horsepower are built, our
American makers have proved that they
can build just as fast motor cars as
any manufacturer in the world. IL Is
fact however that many people dis
like to buy cars that are famous in
racing because of the thought that they
| may not be proper for use In touring
and general utility, which, after all is
the real work of the modern vehicle
of TRANSPORTATION.
"I will, therefore, advise that our
national body abandon the government
of speed contests, turning 1t over TO any
organization that will care for It, leav-
ing the A. A. A. to continue its good
