and again poetic, the senator coined

YOUNcGOLFERSSUPER|OR
Harold Hilton About Only Excep.
ton When It Comes to Win.
ming Championships.

1t is indisputable that 1t is the young
blood in any game which makes for
the building up OF the competitive
standards of that game and naturally
improve the play. This is more true
in golf than in any other game. There
has not in the past 1--WE years been
winner of the banner events of Amer
lean golf who has been as we'll along
in years as many Of the winners of the
British championships.
Starting with Robert A. Gardeners
victory in the national amateur cham
pionship in 1909. when he triumphed
over the redoubtable H. Chandler
Egan, the amateur event has gone each
year to men who have not reached
their thirties, with the exception of
the year the championship was held at
Apawamis and was won at the extra
hole by Harold Hilton of England.
Hilton is more than forty years old
and the next year was beaten by an
unknown youngster, C. G. Waldo. at
that time Connecticut champion. The
year after Gardeners initial victory W. c.
Fownes Of Pittsburgh won the cham
pionship, defeating Chick Evans in
the semi finals. after the Chicago boy
had been up and 3 to play, and
overcoming another western player,
Warren X. Wood, in the final
The next year came Hilton's triumph
ana the Following two years the cham
pIonship was captured by the greatest
OF them all, Jerome D. Travers. who
won his first championship at the
Euclid Club of Cleveland, when twenty
one years old. In the Anal of the 1912
event Travers, representing the east.
was pitted against Evans of the west,
and the brilliant Chicago boy went
down to defeat before the superlativeIy
brilliant golf of the Upper Montclair
man. Evans enjoyed lead Of up at the
luncheon interval. but in the afternoon
Travers played golf of the brand which
has made him famous. although 1t has
been commended that had Evans not
missed a two-foot putt on the sloping
THIRD green he might have had a chance
against even Travers' score Of 80 for
the first nine holes. as Evans always
seems to have something in reserve
which can be drawn forth when called
for.
Ouimets victory at Ekwanok in 1914
was, of course, foreshadowed by his
glorious feat at Brookline in 1918, and
few expected that he could be brushed
aside Is readily as he had been in for
mer years, as the winning of a big
championship instills in the player that
necessary confidence which begets
greater successes. Gardeners victory at
Detroit last year was not unlocked for.
as he had been practicing assiduously
in preparation for the Championship,
and when he is right he is unbeatable
His defeat of Max Marston in the
semi final was one of the most inter
esting matches among the many which
always accompany the competition, and
in the final tremendous driving proved
too much for the doughty John Ander-
son.
