DESCRIPTION OF GAME In WHICH
BALL WON HIS EIGHTH GOLF TITLE

on going out triumphed at the thirty
eight hole.
TT was John Ball at his best, as
fine as he was on that historical day
at Prestwick thirteen years ago, when
he defeated the late Fred Tate at the
down at the sixteenth. 1t is fitting
that Ball should first win on the new
est championship course, as he has
won all on the links except Muirfield.
Apart from Balls wonderful strug
gle, there was the extraordinary be-
havior of the crowd. 1t was the first
time an artisan had appeared in the
final, and in the afternoon every
workman in the neighborhood seemed
to be on the links. Some had bags of
| tools, as il they had struck work for
| the day, and they cheered and APP
| plauded Mitchelrs strokes, and made
loud comments on anything Ball did.
Nothing like it has ever been seen
in amateur golf, and the craftsmanship
displayed, at which, of course, Nit
chell was much annoyed, was remin-
| iscent of some of the worst days in
the old professional golf at Mussel-
burgh. Mitchell is grand golfer,
but he was against a match fighter
with the greatest resource and the
most perfect temperament
There was a remarkable incident
at the fifth hole in the afternoon.
which was sufficient to indicate the
excellent relations which existed be-
tween the players When Ball saw
that Mitchell's shot had gone into the
bunker he at once turned and said;
Have another shot, but Mitchell,
with equal craftsmanship, instanta-
neously declined The best of feeling
prevailed. and, even if defeated,
Mitchell has done a great service to
artisan golf in England.

about 1000 spectators followed the
players in the morning. Mitchell
turned up. and had increased his
advantage to up at the end of the
round Rain was falling sharply
when the final round was commenced.

after a final without a parallel in
Royal Liverpool Club, for the eighth
time has won the title of amateur
Champion" says q London critic.
Surrounding the contest there were
many elements which were in meas
ure dramatic, but over all rests the
glamour of the triumph of this man,
who time and again has defied the
power of two generations, and 1t is a
matter of debate whether the golfers
who ruled in the age of the gutta
ball were not greater than those who
are today the leaders of the game. At
all events, we have now John Ball,
at just one year short of fifty, con-
auering in a field which contained the
greatest players in England, and I'M
der circumstances under which no
golfer was ever before called to play.
Abe Mitchell Great
"There may be some Scottish golf
ers who would have played big part
in the meeting, but Abe Mitchell,
who contested the final with Ball,
was the one golfer who was suited
to Westward Ho. The way the course
is laid out, its great length. and the
expanse afforded to his driving, al
loved him the full freedom of tre-
mendous hitting.
"He was born in the year John
Ball won his fifth championship, and,
a powerfully built youth, he was par
ticularly suited in the torrid heat
which prevailed in the morning
round At the seventeenth hole he
was up, but Ball got him back to
g. Starting with this lead in the
afternoon, the odds were all on the
artisan golfer, but circumstances had
changed. A heavy wind came di-
rectly from the sea, accompanied by
rain. There was something wanted
now apart from straight hitting;
there was science. Ball could gauge
the wind: his fine, free brassie play
was more effective; he moved down
his man; he took the lead, lost 1t
again, fought desperate finish, and
