IIAVERFORD, Pa, Oct. 2.-Pennsylva-

I'm the final for the Lesley cup matches
by losing four Of the five foursome
matches. With a little luck the score
should have been to 2, and in the end
this may spell all the difference between
victory and defeat
The gallery, and there was quite a big
one. considering the unsettled condition
of the weather, naturally followed the
match between Jerome Travers and Os-
wald Kirkby and V. c. Fownes, Jr., and
Davidson Heron. They were we'll re-
warded for their trouble, for the match
was good one. Travers and Kirkby win
ming only up and to play.
Both pairs started out poorly, Travers
and his partner winning the first hole
with five to a six and the second with
a six to n seven. On the third, Travers
and his partner got into trouble and took
a six to a four After half in five on
the fourth, Travers and Kirkby took the
fifth with a well-played five to six.
KirSby drove into the creek on the sixth
hole and Travers dropped back for the
loss of a stroke and failed to reach the
green and the Metropolitan pair finished
up with a six TO the FIVE of their oppo-
nents. Fownes and Heron were on the
green in one on the seventh to the two
of their opponents and won the hole
with a three to a four
the elghtn was nalVed IN par tours.
Fownes drove to the right in the mounds
on the ninth and Heron put his second
well up to the hole and Fownes missed
putt for three. Travers drove the
green and his partner gave him none too
easy a putt for a three, but he made II.
Both played better golf coming in. The
10th and 1ith holes We're halved in par
fours, and the 18th In par fives, after
both had been short with their seconds.
Both missed puts for threes on the
18th. Fownes having grand chance for
a win. Travers and his partner won the
18th hole, 5 to s, Fownes putting the sec

Eyelash Stuff

When one looks back upon other world
series and what happened therein. the
assignment Of attempting to pick a win
ner takes on even added quivers.
There is that Red Sox-Giant series of
1872 If Duffy Lewis hadn't missed a soft
fly lifted directly above his outspread
hands, and IL Devore hadn't made a
miracle catch over his shoulder, the Red
sox would have won in four straight
games.
After that II Harry Hooper hadn't
lurched over a short fence to rake In
Doyle's near-home run - an impossible
cateh-and II Snodgrass hadn't dropped
the easiest of chances-an imposslbla
mun-New York would have won in eight
games.
Briefly any one OF three or four pIays
or rare variety made a difference of four
ball games and turned the series upside
down. One boot-one muff-one lucky
blow-and all the dope of the ages goes
back into the pipe for another smoke.
At times the enemy can be of pro-
nounced assistance. German Zeppelins
have been n big aid in English recruitine.
And that $50 massacre Harvard passed
Yale last fall will help make Yale do a
lot Of remembering when the two elevens
meet.

CORRECT BACK SWING IN GOLF
ATTAINED THROUGH HAND PLAY
Principal Element Is Distance Hands Are Carried Back
From the Line of Action, Says John
Albert Scott Expert.
BY JOHN ALBERT SCOTT

The previous article prepared you for
the limits within which the hands worked.
The first limit which will be considered
and 1t is the principal element of a cor
rect back swing-is the distance the hands
are carried back from the line OF play
l. e., the distance they will travel from a
line across the feet (see the stance pho
tographs in previous articles) toward
line which runs parallel to 1t, and drawn
back of the players heels. BY referring
to the stance photographs used to illus
trate the articles on the stance, II will be
seen and can be easily verified by trying

the really vital things or the stroke.
The height to which the hands are
carried is matter of importance, to be
considered later, but II will be sufficient
to say at this time that the height to
which the players selected for illustration
have carried their hands is correct for
those of similar build.
A careful study Of the photographs
stance and top of swing, will indicate
how the hands assume the position they
are in at the top of the swing. In all the
articles 1 have ever read, in books or
magazines, in talks with professional golf
instructors, 1t has always been stated
that the "hands are carried around the
body" Some advocate one method and
some another, but all agree that the
hands are carried around the body, by
and of themselves; that the hands leave
the direct back line from the ball and are
carried, or swung. around the body in
circular motion, by their own movement.
This agreement is not the result of
analysis. but rather the description of a
sensation-bodily action will often create
a feeling that we are doing a particular
thing In a way quite different from our
actual motions, hence the danger of de-
scribing a state of mind, so far as value
to the one to whom we try to impart
knowledge
Analysis has to do with cause and ef-
feelings. fully agree that the sensation
is that the hands are being swung around
in a circular motion, but 1t will be seen
that they are not Gas I have analysed the
stroke). by any independent motion of
their own.
There are tartars a-pleuty in the world,
as Francis Ouimet, eX-open and amateur
champion of America, can very well at
test. for he has caught two of the above
mentioned critters, both in the same
week.
It was his lot to get mixed up in the
dazzling shots OF Dudley Nudge In the
early part of the week. and again yester-
day he fell before Bill Fownes, also
former champion OF America, in the most
downright cussed battle seen In this city
all season. Two up at the turn Ouimet
almost went to the mat on the 18th, but
Fownes missed the shortest OF puts. And
then the latter put a second shot up to
the pin on the 18th for the win.

The cold rains came, and the icy blasts
how they did numb the golfers fingers
and stifren the elbows. Strange to tell,
the bye holes were holes not played. In
fact, there was somewhat of a merry
scramble for the roaring fire in the club
house and the great bowls of hot soup
thoughtfully provided.
Ouimet had everything to win in the
match after his licking this season. but
he showed his true-blue nature at the
end when he put his ball In the pit. and
when he realized he had hit his "out"
too hard he conceded the putt which lost
him the match.

Hughey Jennings may not have been
any better prophet, but he proved to be
far keener newspaper man than other
managers some years ago when he came
out and picked the Giants to beat the
Athletics. That pick started something.
There was color to it. 1t left the routine
seven leagues behind. Our idea of nothing
to till over is the announcement tnat
National League manager picks the Phil
lies or an American League manager
picks the Red Sox to win.
At best it is all a guess. The only man
who looked to be too earnest to be guess
ing was George Stallings a year ago,
when he insisted that his Braves would
win four straight games.

Gowdy not only outbatted Schang, but
had smashed the ball for a greater total
