The Tough Bird

Behold a hard boiled guy, with
pill hanging on his lip, hands in his
pockets, no necktie, and wearing a
cap on his left shoulder.
He walks around stoop-shOuldere0
and drags his feet like a fly doing
Weston" over fly paper.
What's the matter with the boob,
Arthur; what's the idea in trying to
be bad guy; what is he going to get
out of it?
Oh, he thinks it just the candy to
be hard-boiled; he imagines people
admire hin for it.
Tough birds always travel in
gangs; they Hke>to get a name over
the surrounding territory as a bunch
of holy terrors, always looking for a
scrap-and maybe they can't battle.
Why we've seen ten of these fear
less roUghnecks go right in regard
less of danger and beat the daylights
out of a 5O-year-Old helpless peddler.
But if you ever met one of the
tough birds alone away from his
gang he'd have a yellow streak that
would make the milky way look ike
a crack on the head of a pin.
No, Raymond, don't waIOp the
next tough bird you see on the head
or you'll get your hand full of slivers-

GREAT EXTENSION OF SKILL
IN GOLF AND TENNIS MAKES
COMING JOURNEYS OPEN ONES
BY GRANTLAND RICE

TENNIS and golf championships never
i have known tournaments any moro open
than the two to come in August and Septem-
ber. There was day when you could pick
one or two men from the field and forget the
others. Now in both games there are four
or fve who may drop even the champions
at moments notice. There has been a
great extension of skill, and this extension
is sure TO grow so that some five or six
years from now the battle for a golf or
tennis championship will be among at least
a dozen entries in each sport-and a nip
and tuck battle at that

TITULAR TENNIS
FRAY WILL OPEN
WITH DOUBLES
Johnston Griffin Clash
With McLoughlin-Dawson
on First Day
HOLDERS SHOULD REPEAT

One week from today William NJ. john
ston and Clarence ]. Griffin. the tltleholders,
will clash with Maurice p. Mclaughlin and
Ward Dawson, challengers, for the national
doubles championship at the West Side
Tennis Club, Forest Hills, l.. l.
Thus will the championship week be
opened with a bang. In former years the
challenge round for the doubles titles was
always held over until after the singles
event was decided. But this made the
doubles the climax Of the tournament and
the singles the ante-climax.
But next weeks event will start Off with
n flourish, gradually simmer down to the
'weedlng-out process of the first few days
and eventually reach the climax when the
field Is reduced to two men.
When Mclaughlin and Thomas G. Bundy
successfully defended the doubles crowns
against the onslaughts of George NJ Church
and Dean Mathy in the challenge round
at Newport two years ago 1t marked the
first time in n number OF years that the
holders of the doubles titles retained them
Last year at Forest Hills Mclaughlin and
Bundy made a game effort to register their
third straight victory and gain permanent
of the championship trophies,
but Johnston and Griffin frustrated their
efforts.
Judging by past performances then. Daw-
son and Mclaughlin have the dope In their
favor. But 1t is doubtful IL the dope can
prevail against the real thing, as exhibited
by the youthful national singles champion
and his goat-herding partner.

Hagen on Top With
Vengeance
Bv SANDY McNIBLICK

| HIRST-CLASS, fve-legged jinx are fairly
I rare, but there is a genuine one follow
ing hard on the heels of James M. Barnes
the tall Chestnut Hill golf coach.
Barnes returns home today again
/ squeezed out of title worth while by the
narrowest squeak. This time It happened
to be only two strokes that separated him
| from the winner, Walter Hagen, OF the
western open championship. Barnes was out
| this year to regain the western title taken
away from him last year by Tom McNa-
mara He was desperately anxious to break
| through the hoodoo that has prevented his
| coming out on top In any Of the big title
conflicts since spring.
But little jinx laid him again by the
heels.
It was no doubt the same little jinx
that threw mud on his heels and slowed him
down when he was speeding at his utmost
to catch "Chck" Evans for the national
open title this year. He missed by four
strokes. Or, perhaps 1t was the same little
jnx that threw his ball into trap in the
almost equally valuable metropolitan open
play-off, costing him a penalty stroke when
the ball bounced back and hit him and
where he tok an extra stroke to get out
which lost him the title.
One, That's All
He was one stroke TO tho bad in that
premier event, but next came the western,
where it was thought that he would finally
overthrow his hoodoo trailer. Instead of
that Barnes took two peslsy little strokes
he shouldn't have In all the ~ holes, and
his card was not good enough for top place
by just that many strokes
Barness last chance for a title of mo-
ment this year is the Philadelphia open,
to be held at Phlmont In October
The event is open to any ono In the coun-
try, and the fastest field of Its history is
expected this year, SO that Barnes will have
all honor IL he wins it.
Walter Hagen, ex-national open cham
pion, metropolitan open and western open
titleholder, respectively also fully, Is the
type of golfer that rolls along the course
in a matter-of-fact way as IL to say that 1t
didn't make much difference whether he
was licked or not, but he knew he was
pretty good and the other fellow would have
to go to the last hole for all he was worth
before Hagen would cry quits.
Even As
Hagen played beautiful golf in the west
ern and never did either half of the course
in worse than 36 strokes, except on the |
afternoon of the first day, when he took 40 |
in length than the average course and there |
are hve one-shot holes on it.
Nevertheless, scoring was very difficult, |
due to the baking the links got last week |
in the scorching sun. Hagen had best |
bird on one of the par five holes every |
time he played 1t.

Maxims of the Nineteenth Hole
My son, there is a double art in the brief
games that we call golf and life.
One is learning how to play safely beyond
all traps. The other is learning how to
play safely out when the first art goeth
