New York, Sept. ls.-At the next meet

cutting down of horses. which has been
Of frequent occurrence during the present
season. One instance in which g valuable
thoroughbred was ruined on his first start
was when the Oak Ridge Stable, owned
by Thomas Fortune Ryan, started King
Simon at Belmont Park early in the
season. There were only three horses in
the field, yet one Of them cut King Simor
so badly with sharp plates that the colt
had 20 be thrown out Of training and

The rule proposed by Thomas Hitch

No horse shall start in a race having

or any contrivance which may endangeT
other horses.
At the same meeting the rule which
allowed the starter to place vicious OF
unruly horses in a line behind the others
viii be amended TO read:
Nevertheless the starter may place
vicious or unruly horses where they can

Famous Young Player Demon
strated His Ability at Both
Stroke and Match Play and
Won the Title Also.

Francis Ouimet demonstrated. in no
uncertain way, his ability as a stroke
player when he beat Ray and vardon.
That he is an equally good match player
has been shown by his victory over
Travers for the national amateur cham
pionship. 1t is a question whether any
other player living can beat Travers
seven holes running. yet that Is what
the youthful Bostonian did. The remark
able feature of his match with Travers
was that at no time was he of the
straight line, and it will be remembered
that in that memorable triple tie at
Brookline last year not once did he get
into trouble.
1t is not necessary at this late date
to refer to the difference in medal and
match play. But there is as much sim
ilarity between them as there is playing
right field and shortstop on the ball
field. And when you find a man who
plays well at match and medal you find
the rara avis in golf.
Travis, Hilton, Ball, Evans. and Oui-
met are noted examples of these ambf-
dextrous golfers, IL we may use such a
term, and somehow 1t seems to fit rather
WELL for the stroke player is the right
handed man and the match player the

triumph is the triumph of youth. Travers
is young. but the youngster from New
England is even younger. Two Of the
veterans. Travis and Fownes, reached
the semi-finals. 1t was Travis first ap-
pearance in the last four since l9OS
when Travers beat him by up. Fownes
incidentally gave Ouimet the hardest
match that youth had during the entire
tournament and no one will begrudge
him the honor of the gold medal for the
low qualifying score which he won in
the tie with Carton. His play through
the tournament was splendid and it DEM
onstrates that he is very much in the

James Donaldson the Chicago Professional Golfer, Claims
Present-day Players Are Spelling Scores by Trying

Apparently fearless Of being classed AZ

There is one phase OF the situation

many people. that being that Donaldson

Donaldson has taught and played golf
over many Euopean courses, has COM

has set up records. He was the first
teacher that George Duncan ever had,

How many times has ever golfer seen a

low-through that he considers so neces-

directs the power OF his swing. He puts
the power into 1t after the ball is hit
instead Of before. He twists himself all
out Of shape in attempting to perfect his
follow-through
He is on his feet, as a rule: his head
is up in the air; the club is brought
away around his neck. How in the world
is a man going to keep his head stin and
the air? He hasn't added foot to the
length OF his drive, The chances are that
he has taken yards on Of 1t.
Make your drive a hit. Hit hard.
Never mind about the finish OF the
stroke just so long as you do not draw
up your hands so as to impart a cut to
the ball. Let the hands go out after the
