ODDS AGAINST AMATEURS IN
NATIONAL GOLF CHAMPIONSHIPS
By GRANTLAND RICE

Tommy Mcnamara, Mike Brady, Kerrigan,
Walter Hagan, Jack Dowling George No
Lean and the amateur entry list.
Picking the Winner
AS for picking the winner since Alex
Smith and j. j. MeDermott abdicated their
thrones-well, how many were picking
Francis Ouimet to win in 1913? ,e
How many on the inside were tipping
Walter Hagan for the 1914 CROWN How
many thought Jerry Travers had chance
last June at Baltusrol when medal play
never had been his strongest feature?
Picking the winner is genial occupa.
tion, but it doesn't get any one very far.
In the British open the choice CONES
down to three men-Vardon, Taylor and
Braid. Among them they have wen ls
out of the last 22 championships They
outclass the field so far there is no one
to be considered, except possibly George
Duncan, who has the brilliancy but not The
steddiness to fight off this trio
But in America there is no such limited
choice. Most of the pros upon this side
or the water are too busily engaged In
teaching the young and old idea how to
shoot to have enough time to devote to
practice or to competitive play. Hence
while they have all their shots, their games
lack the steadiness under fire that only
SoineS through constant competition. DO ho
one can figure in advance just what any
one of these will do.
Putting
And there is always the old question
of putting and the short game in general
Wonderful putting by Ouimet in 1918 and
by Hagan in 1914 put these two in front
Steady work upon the greens was big
factor in Travers' success.
In the first round Chick Evans was
putting well, and finished with 10. In
the afternoon, playing almost the same
long game, his putting was OF and he
moved up to 80. Among the leaders you
will notice only a slight difference from
the tee or up to the greens. But around
the greens, within from forty to three feet
of the cup, the tale is told. Those who are
not getting their puts are beaten from me
start Those who are will be 1-2-3-ana
around at the finish. There will be new
titleholder this week, whatever happens
and you will note at the finish that tne
1916 champion had been able to use hls
putter very tidily most Of the way. Aiso
that the winner isn't going to be very ln
beyond Mac Smith or Gil Nichols.

| The first of the schoolboy athletic meets
to be held weekly at Woodside Park under
| the auspices of the EVENING LEDGER took
place today. The first event was called
promptly at / p. m. and the program car
red to a completion without hitch. Many
of the youngsters have been anXiously
waiting for the opening of the EVENING
| LEDGER games and n good entry list was
| turned in.
A general invitation is extended to all
boys to compete, as no entry fee Is charged
All that is required is for youngster 20
satisfy the management that he is bona
fide student, and he can engage in any event
for which he is qualified. Entries will be
received up to noon of the day of the event,
and those boys who are anxious to keep in
good physical condition during the summer
now will have an opportunity to do so.
In arranging the games the EVENING
LEDGER and Woodside Park management
have been actuated by n desire to help the
schoolboys indulge in their favorite pas
times under the most favorable conditions
possible. 1t now remains with the boys to
make the meets the success they deserve by
sending in their entries in generous num-
ber.
All track events will be limited to 44O
yards. This will enable the youngsters to
compete without any possibility of over
taxation of their physical powers. Field
events will be included in the program after
the first two meets have been decided, and
events will be added according to the in
terest taken in the meets
For the past week the cinder track has
been thoroughly rolled and put into excel
lent shape and fast time is expected from
the boys This will help the success of the
meet, while the width of the track, 20 feet
assures the young athletes of plenty of
room without any crowding,
Herman Meyer. chairman Amateur Ath-
letic Union Registration Committee, is en-
thusiastic over the outlook for the success
of the games and urged all the boys to go
to Woodside Park today and take part in
the events He has promised TO canvass
the recreation centres and bring many
into the EVENING LEDGER ath-
letic fold
The games already have been lndorsed
by the Municipal Athletic League and
Board of Education physical department
so there is little left to do but for the boys
to get together and make the games the
success they deserve.
Ten events were scheduled for the opening |
program today. Two dashes were set apart |
for the midget and junior classes, while |
four were set apart for youngsters in the |
senior classes.

The Weather and Matty
1t would be interesting to know Just
what part the weather has played in
Mathewson's career the last two years.
Last spring and summer brought the
start of Matty's trouble, and II you recall
the details, the weather was cold and raw
all through the first two months.
So the renowned wing started going
badly for the first time in IL years This
spring at Marlin, where the weather was
fairly warm, Matty started back But since
arriving at home in April he has seen but
little sunny weather, so he has had no
chance to meet the decisive test. With
warm weather to work in we have little
doubt but that Matty would be back around
the crest He has proved on several
occasions that he still packs the stuff. Two
or three weeks of hot weather should re-
turn definite answer.
Hot Weather and the Veteran
The effect of hot weather on the veteran
arm is beyond general belief. We re-
member when the major circuit decided that
Theodore Breitenstein was through-that
his arm was gone forever
The great southpaw came South to New
Orleans and starred for seven seasons with
about as much stuff as he ever had as a
Brown a Red. The heat soon baked the
kinks out of the arm that took on new life
in a month or so. And Brett was supposed
to have drifted back good bit further

THERE are any number of interesting de-
i tails, possibilities, probabilities or side
lights to be considered in connection with
the open golf championship at Minnkahda,
Minneapolis.
There are the cases. for one example,
of Macdonald Smith and Gilbert Mich
oils. These are two of the most brilliant
golfers that ever lifted n divot on Ameri-
can soil, yet neither ever has finished first
in an open championship with the United
States Golf Association title at stake. 1t
is queer turn that two such golfers,
golfers who have played with such amaz-
ing ability, under tests almost as trying,
never have yet been able to break through.
Nichols won the metropolitan open at
Englewood from fine field, including Jack
McDermott at his best, with brilliant
series of rounds that ended with a record
breaking &C.
Mac Smith, a younger brother of the
reduobtable Alex, smashed all champion
ship records at Scarsdale two years ago.
when his four rounds averaged below 20.
1t would be hard to find two greater golf
ers anywhere, yet the one title both have
fought for hardest has been denied.
Mac and Gil
So it has happened that neither Mac
Smith nor Gil Nichols has been able to
reach the United States Golf Association
open at the top of his game. Either is
more than capable of winning, but the field
here is of such high calibre that no golfer,
slightly below his best form, has a chance.
Only those moving at top speed have a
look in. And only those who are putting
well have much of chance. If luck fails
on the greens where they won't go down."
there is no great hope for even the star.
The Amateur Chance
The odds this coming week now are
no afpgf fhn
harassed the pros for some seasons.
In the last three years two amateurs have
finished first and another has finished Sec
ond.
Oulment won at BroolSllne in 1913; Evans
was one stroke behind in second place at
Midlothian in 1914, and Travers won by
one stroke at Baltusrol in 1915.
Travers will not defend his title this year
and 1t isn't likely that the amateurs will
have any great chance of upholding their
fast clip unless Chick Evans happens to be
at his best. Chick always is a formidabIe
entry in medal competition, and 1t may
be that he can carry on the amateur propa-
ganda.
The Home Bred Defense
1t has been six years now since a foreign
born professional has won the leading omen
feature of this well-bunkered land. AIex
Smith struck the last blow for Scotia's
fame in 1910
So the Foreign Legion will make an extra

posing pitchers did not fear Luddy in the
early part Of the season, but they are now
walking him intentionally whenever there
is an open base with n runner in position
to score.
In the recent series in Brooklyn. the
Dodger pitchers passed the Phlly captain
intentionally three times but on each occa-
sion the strategy failed, as Dode Paskert
came through with the pinch hit So long
as Paskert continues to club the ball. pass
ing Luderus will not make the work any
easier for opposing pitchers.
Luderus' home-run drive off Pfeffer
which was made with n wet ball and against
the wind, was one of the longest hits we
have ever seen and his wallop against the
centre-ield wall yesterday was another ter
rifle smash. Ludy will have the range of
the rlght-feld wall by the time the Phils
return from the West, and probably will
start after his 1915 home run record.
Jess Barnes the Braves young hurler,
who gave Alexander such a tough battle,
has wonderful control. No less than five
times yesterday the first three balls he
threw were called balls but he always got
the next three over. The count was three
and nothing on Bancroft in the third inning,
but Barnes famed the Philly shortstop He
repeated the performance with Bancroft in
the 10th, but 1t looked as IL Bancroft
should have walked on that occasion.
The fans could watch rabbit" Maran-
vile every day, but his method of catch
ing fly balls would still interest them. II
has been said that Maranviles style is
original but such is not the case. Lave
Cross, captain of the champion Athletics in
1902 and 1905, had the same peculiar style
of holding his hands below his waist in
catching fly balls, but Lave always used a
mitt and 1t did not look so odd.
Bill Killefer is throwing better every
day. For week or two opposing teams
found 1t easy to pilfer bases on the Phiily
star but he attributes this to his failure to
cut loose. 1t was only natural for Killefer
to be backward after such a long lay-off.
He was holding back too much to get speed
and direction to his pegs but he is now let
ting out and his arm feels better every
day.
1t was rumored that Manager StaIIIngs
would protest the game, alleging that Inn
pire Byron erred in calling Snodgrass ont in
the 18th inning but the Braves leader
said he could not protest II he wanted to as
the play was matter of Judgment on the
part of the umpire and was not an infrac-
ton of the rules
