his will and took his nerve, and was
there ever such a superb specimen Of the
self-conffdent golfer? Perhaps you re-
member him as a mere kid sending out a
score Of challenges to the professionals
OF Philadelphia, and that terrific beating
he gave the only one who consented to
play him. or Of that day at the Cricket
Club when he told the foreign-bred that
their day was over and that America was
coming into its own? To those who did
not know him he was a mere braggart;
but he never made a boast that he didn't
make good. He hadn't a nerve In his
body, and in some ways he was the best
golfer ever developed in this country.
Take the case OF Ouimet, the nineteen
year-old youth. the last day Of the open
tournament at Brookllne last year when
spectators rushed out and told him that
Ray and Vardon had turned in almost
unbeatable scores. Ouimet had to play
four holes In one under par. yet he did II

Better Soldier Than Statesman.

One hundred years ago on the forty
fifth anniversary of his birth. Lord
Wellington was rewarded with the
title OF duke in recognition of his
successes in the Peninsula campaign
against the French. At the same time
the house of commons voted 2000.-
600 for the support of his new dignity.
Within a little more than a year the
famous soldier was destined to win the
great victory at Waterloo and TO be
made the commander-in-chief of the
British forces. Later in life the duke
Of Wellington became British prime
minister. but the strong personal quail
tiles that had helped him to success
as a soldier were not the qualities thLt
best befitted for the premiership, and,
the career of the duke as a statesmgE
added little to his fame.
