 golf champion of the United
 States, proved by his great
 victory over Jerone D. Trax- CTS four times amateur champion. that he is really one of the great golfers of the present day. He has shown that his winning of the open championship year ago at BroolxIine, Mass. was not a h1lke. and he is a player who must be reckoned with He defeated Travers by up and @ play. and when the game was over the former champion warmly congrat- ulated his victor, and in talking about the result later he said: "Ouinet is worthy champion In the sformS he displayed he was unbeatable. You can't very well beat a golfer who new CT once gets of the course-
 Ouimet-Who p1,onounces his name sfyyeuets'-was unknown as golfer until last year. when he sprung into international prominence when he tied Harry Vart1on and Edward Ray, two of Englandfs best professienals, and then beat them decisfvely in the play or of the tie This feat, done by a boy of twenty, was so phenomenal that it was difficult to believe that skill, nerve and confidence had achieved it instead of luck.

 Ouimet's father. born. in Montreal of French descent, is a landscape gar dener at RrookIine, Nthe fashionable suburb of Boston. His mother is American born. While the family is not wealthy in the modern estimate of wealth, young Francis became q caddy more to learn the game than for che money involved For that reason. he conKesses. his earnings were not as great as some Of the other boys He always chose to work for players from whom he might learn something or even to follow them around the links swfaen they had other caddies engaged

 Some Will say that conditions may vary in different cities. but that they will even themselves up in the long run. This is not correct. for 8 club plays seventy games on it's home grounds and only eleven games on each of the other diamonds. This may even up things so far as games won and lost are concerned, but it will not even things up in the matter of home runs and other long wallops
 That this is true is shown by a com parison of the figures showing. long hits by clubs. The Following table shows what the National league clubs had done in that line when the season lacked a month of being finished:

 Ouimet at high school also played forward on the ice hockey team and saortstop on the basebalk nine. He pitched one zane and won 1t, but in the next was hammered all over the lot, so returned to his inf1e1d berth. Francis was too light for football. all though he now weighs about 16O pounds. with a height Of f-7e feet elev- en inches.

 In 1912 Ouirnet was runner up in the Massachusetts championship and won it last year, his first victory in a big tournament He retained his title this season.
 In the open championship last year Ouimet had cards of 77-74-151 and II74-79-153, tying at BOA with Var don and Ray.

He was put out in the second round by Jerome Travers, who won the championship by a score of to 2.

 In Chicago he was recognized es the most promising billiard player Of the city. Under able instructors his faults were corrected and he made remark able progress in the technique of the game. His development has been so rapid that he is now considered an even, more sIxfllful player than was Hoppe at the same age.
 In a 500 point 1s.2 balk line game at Chicago with pr. Harley Parker. a leading amateur. young Cochran made an average of 40 and a high run of 165. A few nights later he met MT. Heddon. another expert amateur of Chicago. at the same game and ran 250 points in two innings.
 He counted 45 from the bank and run out with zo5, leaving the balls in such perfect position that had the Oc- casion demanded it he might have run as many more Such billiards from a player so youthful has never been heard of before.

 Cub park. in Chicago, originally quite roony. has been built in with rows of seats year after year till it has small field room left except through 2 patch in center High fences and advertise ing boards block tho view of sundry wildcat stands on the outside. Home runs sail over these fences or into some Of the field stands. The hits that rebound from the walls are mainly two bageers Triples must be made down through center or roll along the aide walls.
 This accounts for the fact that Vic Safer was credited with sixteen home runs. while making but three hits good for three bases this season. Luderus has a similar record, eleven home runs to five three baggers.
