FOURS0ME AS
FINE GOLF TEST
DChick" Describes Difference Be-
tween This and the Four
Ball Match.
By Chick Evans.

~H1CAGO, Jan. 24.-There is
good bit of discussion at pres
ent in the East concerning the
rslative merits of the foursome and
the four ball match. There are many
golfers who do not discriminate and
who call al matches including four
plavers foursomes. To an English
man or Scotsman this is an unpar-
donable error, and l mention for the
benefit of the uninitiated that a
,ou-some is a two-ball match, each
mariner alternately striking the same
ball. and a four ball match Is exactly
4 what its name signifies. and each
golfer plays his own ball. 1t seems
the Eastern Lesley Cup matches Ga
tri-city event-Philadelphi New
York and Boston, have been four
somes, and many of the prominent
Eastern players believe this not to be
the best test of the comparative skill
Of the players as a team. They add,
moreover. that this foursome Is dead
| ly dull.
I'm Chicago we practically never had
foursomes except that entertaining
variety called mixed" l recall the
one case in which l ever played
foursome in this part Of the country
with a man partner. That was in the
Lake County cup matches at On
wentsia, and my partner was j. w.
Moulding. When l was in England
was selected to play, a graceful tri-
butte to America, first team with John
Ball in the Coronation Foursomes
against Braid and Massey. 1t was
amateurs against professionals, and
Il is interesting to know that we play
ed over the Royal st. Georges links
at Sandwich, where the 1914 British
championship Is to be played. To my
surprise, the Coronation matches were
i foursomes, and l was nervous because
n | had played in only one foursome
before, and in not more than two or
4 three Of the mixed sort. Mr.. Bali,
seven times champion OF Great
Britain was very fine. but my playing
was poor.
THE unaccustomed form Of compe-
l tition, the new distances, and the
great distinction of my company
proved too much for me. and ever
since l have not cared particularly
for that style of play.
But, looking at the matter dispas-
sionately, there Is no question that
the foursome Is the better test OF team
play, for the players act more nearly
as one. l think, however, there are
few people who would care TO go
out to play foursomes out of desire

the distances confronting them too
|unaccustomed. The social opportunl-
ties are greater, perhaps.
The four ball match may be more
|replete with brilliant shots, and from
the point of view of the spectator Is
more spectacular. In England ana
Scotland, however, there is great par
|tiality shown for the foursome' put
TO my mind the four-ball matcn Is
more ENJOYABLE. but l am not sure
that it is as good a test of team
