DepOteeS of Golf Repel
in Year Full of Thrills

A review through golf spectacles OF
the last twelve months can scarcely fail
to leave the devotee of the game fairly
we'll satisfied with the year 1914. The
outstanding favorites played close to
form, this especially being true in anna
teur circles, Francis Ouimet winning
the title az Ekwaaok and thereby prov
ing beyond a shadow of doubt his right
TO being clsssed as the nations best
golfer.
Wien the Woodland entrant startled
the world by outstripping Vardon and
Ray in that memorable play-of of the
1913 open tournament at Brookline
there were those inclined TO accept the
unprecedented feat in a manner that
showed plainly that they were not con-
WINGED. Few now, however, can ques-
ton the statement that 0uimet has
made good.
Although proud of his Brookline ac-
complshment, Ouimet realized that q
retention of his open crown would be
too much 10 expect. What he wanted
most was 10 win the amateur title at
Ekwanok, and, if possible, still further
settle the mooted question as to the
relative merits so far as himself and
Jerome Travers were concerned. How
these rivals worked their way to the
final round and how the Massachusetts,
golfer smothered Travers in the after
noon is now ancient history.
Aside from the fact that Ouimet won
decisively, the meeting between these
rare opponents of the game served to
bring out more clearly than ever the
importance of developing and main
tanning a sound style.
Ouimet, an exponent of the interlock-
ing grip. compels his hands to work as
one, and that always makes for direc-
ton In that final at Ekwanok Travers
soon found that in addition TO being
outdriven his direction was also wo-
fully lacking as compared with the I'M
canny tee shots of his opponent.
Great golfers are like great generals
few and far between. The successful
frequenter of the links should possess
an ideal temperament as well as an
ability to perform with skill at either
match or medal play. Ouimet, who
has these. may be said to be in class
by himself There is not weak spot
in his armor. All his clubs become
willing servants in his hands. Travers
has the temperament and the shots, but
there is that lack Of control with wood.

Yachting Year Brings
>Jov to Lovers of the Sport

American yachtsmen are TO be con-
graduated upon the success, under ad-
verse circumstances, Of a most inter
esting season, rendered doubly so oy
the presence al the principal races OF
the three candidates for the defence Of
the Americas Cup, the sloops Resolute,
Vanite and Defiance.
The abrupt termination OF the series
of races in which these yachts were en-,
gagged on account of the unexpected
outbreak of the European war was I'M
fortunate and Disappointing, because
the public is still in the dark as 10
wbether the Resolute or the Vanitie
will be the defender of the Americas
Gun. There is a general belief. how
ever. that "the flag officers boat, as
the Resolute has been dubbed, Will
be the ultimate choice of the Amer
ica's Cup committee. =.
The acceptance by the New YORK
Yacht Club of Sir Thomas Upton
fourth challenge for the America
Cup, followed by the quick building OF
the three cup defence sloops, was
hailed by yachtsmen as genuine ooom
for the sport. Instead, il proved more

boxing bouts, and money will be scarce
in Europe, it is thought.
A sensation was caused by the re-
peal of the law permitting boxing
bouts in California. Almost from the
time that boxing gained foothold in
this country California has been the
centre of the sport. Championship
battles have been fought there between
men whose names are watchwords IN
the mouths of the enthusiasts. OF
late, it would seem, the promoters have
been a bit lax in their methods, and a
few bad matches which resulted in
fatalities drew down the criticism Of
many.

gain, from sporting point Of view.
The boxers focking to this state will
make possibly many good matches, and
will stimulate interest. New Orleans,
one of the few cities where long bouts
to decisions are permitted, will also be
the gamer.

of all billiard games.
The title of pocket billiard cham
pion Of the world was won by Benny
Allen, Of Kansas City, and also perma-

had won the title in October, 1913, by

Allen made a new worlds record high

Some Of Willie Hopes notable per-
formances during 1914 were the scoring
of run of 300 at l4.1 balkline in
tournament game with George Slosson
at the Hotel Aston in April. The new
balkline game was especially put for
ward by the Brunswick Bake COLLEEN
der Company for the purpose of giving
some of the other professionals
chance to break into the monotonous
series scored by Hoppe at 1871 and
1872. The young master Of the cue
was Just as invincible at the new game,
however, winning the title without
any trouble.
In February, at Chicago, Hoppe
scored a new worlds record mark by
making an average of 1854 at 1872 in
a match with George Sutton. Again Sc
lecting Sutton as his victim, Hoppe. on
March 20. in defending his lS1 title,
defeated his veteran opponent by a
score of 500 points 70 228, making an
average of % 1921, a worlds record
for a 5O0-point championship match in
a single nights play.

One gratifying part OF the 1914
championships lies in the fact that ma
tive born talent prevailed IN all three.
The wear before Miss Gladys Ravens
croft brushed the American maids and
matrons aside at Wilmington. So far
as the amateur and open are concerned
il is several years now since foreign
blood has succeeded in winning. Alec
Smith led the "pros" in 1910 at Phiia-
delphia, but since then the leading
places have been occupied By home
breds.
In minor tournaments. such as the
annual affair conducted by the Metro
politan Golf Association. the one under
the auspices of the Western Golf Asso-
citation. state meetings and various
other Eastern competitions, good goit
was generally produced. Oswald kirkoy
won the metropolitan, aided, OF course.

a result of the success of Macdonald

the seventy-two holes for record
breaking total Of 27s, and Il was a
matter Of general regret that i'll health
made it necessary for him to withdraw
from the national tournament at Mid

Taking Il all in all. the 1914 season
has been memorable not only for the
quality of it's golf but quantity as well.
