GOLF GOSPEL TRUTHS.
How American Endorsements Help
the Professionals.
By STRAIGHT DRIVE.

Several Of our golf professionals have
earned an international reputation
that is founded to a great extent on
their American achievements. In more
cases, through various chapters of acct
dents and because of the strength and
size of the fields they found awaiting
them. our homebreds have not made
good" on their American regulations
on foreign trips. while professionals
who have reached their prime here
who were too young to be at their
best when they emigrated from Scot
land or England have also played
abroad in the same hard luck. The out
standing instance was Will Anderson,
of regretted memory, the greatest pro-
fessional golfer to be developed in this
country. He never played up to his real
game when abroad.
Will Smith. with his great record at
old st. Andrews; Gil Nichols and Dun
can Ross. to mention but three in
stances Of experts with international
renown. will admit that they attained
the full scope Of their powers through
their American experiences. AS a minor
result. to illustrate the same factor.
many who first reached the point of
newspaper recognition in this country
are now employed as professionals and
golf course architects in Great Britain,
although the war has now brought
their occupation to halt. Willie Dunn,
our first professional to gain national
fame, who has his son. Gourley, at the
front with the Scottish Grays. is one
of this group. The veteran is now pro-
fessional at a course near London.
Recently I noticed an account in an
English paper of a presentation to r.
B. Wilson by the Berkhamstead Golf
Club of a purse of $3.50 and set of
resolutions as compliment to his in
tegrity and efficiency. Buff" was a
maker of iron clubs at st. Andrews in
1897. when he came over under engage
ment for the season to the Shinnecock
Hills Golf Club. where that year H. j.
Whigham won the amateur champion
ship for the second time. Wilson, who
had promptly established American
agencies for his irons. returned for a
summer job until about 1903 He had in
turn the green at Deal, n. j.; Hartford.
Conn, and various courses east and
west. The rival professionals used to
say he built another house at>St. An
drews each year with the profits Of his
American trip.
Finally. through the reputation as a
player gained in the United States,
Wilson found he could get good jobs
each season nearer to ST. Andrews. No
matter how well he has prospered.
every little gift has a meaning of its
own" to the canny Scot. He is one of
many pros an American reputation has
helped in golf.

Detroiter's steals Of home were against
st. Louis. Boston. New York and Wash
ington, the batterymen in these games
being James and Agnew, Pennock and
Carrigan, Caldwell and Nunamaker and
Boehling and Henry. In 2 combats
Tyrus pinched 4 hassocks (these games
were against New York and Philadel-
phia). in engagements he pinched 8.
in 10 controversies he pinched 2 and In
