HAVE YOU EVER 'CUSSEDOUT
SLOWFOURSOME? THE|yREADTHIS

| I lose ball or the succeeding match
has one Of the recognized privileges.
you win, of course, realize that
every time a match IL allowed to 60
through the congestion Of the course
is increased by reason Of the fact that
the passed match must remain where
it is until the passing match has
! gone through, and holed out and THIS,
Of course, delays all the succeeding
players" a.~s.@
Possibly there is nothing so fffftat.
ing on a course as to have q player or
players drive into you and under Any
and all circumstances It Is 4nexcus-
able. = e4.-..-. =. - - :.
But my sympathy Is not with the
slow players. For, after all. they are
the ones who clog the course ahn W1o
cause all the congestion golf courses
have to suffer from on Saturdays and
Sundays In the first place. q slow
player r. never good player. The
professional who plays slowly Is so
unusual AZ sto be noticeable Golfers
have an ideaS that 70 make q shot Il 10
necessary, to take practise swings and
wiggie-Wagsle Me. club before the ball
Is hit. That IDEA passed out With the
old cross bunker Some golfers do 30
much Of this thar they almost hypno-
tie themselves With oyerconEeBtra;
lion. + HsS=S n p
The chief argument with the slow
four ball match is that you never get
up to II. Wen, when YOU eonsiaer
that you have to waitsat the tee while
they are out Of danGeE and then when
you reach your tee shots you have to
wait again until they hive sllcIed ont,
this statement Is more sor less true.
But any one who. has ever figured it
out knows that II one o. these slow
matches allows the faster hatch TO 60
through at the end Of the f6 holes the
faster match is anywhere from two to
four holes ahead. At Pinehurst they
do not waste any time with the slow
matches. 1t ma kes no difference whe.
Their there Is an open hole ahead or
not, the moment the starter sizes up
the slow match he waves them to let
the faster match through, and these
starters can tell IN q minute inst
where the congestion is, and nine
times out Of ten 1t Is the slow matches
that are responsible. II we could only
send the slow players from our gari-
GUS clubs down to Pinehurst for q
week they would come back with
some entirely new ideas about the
matter. !

Two Of the best games Of the year
have been scheduled for Sunday in the
Oahu-Service League and the baseball
fans of Honolulu and Schofield have
been tanning for the last week, re
garding the outcome OF the games
scheduled
The All-Stars and 18th Inf. teams
will meet at Schofield on Sunday at
.: 80 and the Baby Regiment will meet
the Ruger Giants at Moiliih Field at
. 10 A fight for first place and last
place will be staged when these teams
meet.
A Real Team
Henry Chillingworth has accom-
Plished what he started to do; the
formation Of a real All-Star team. He
has dug down in his jeens for the pur-
chase of new uniforms, he has paid
the expenses of the Schofield players
to Honolulu twice each week for prac.
tise and has lined up real club, ono
which will have something to say
about the pennant this year.
In Johnny Williams, Crumpler and
BrinZa, Chilly has real pitching
staff, the best in the islands. BrinZa
has been the real sensation in the
games to date, and the Honolulu fans
are anxious to take a look at the
pitcher who had the Infants and
Giants at his mercy in the last two
games. Those who have watched
Salmon and McGavin in the recent
workouts are confident that they will
make good with a vengeance
LYMAN MakE- Good
Charley Lyman, on first base, Is q
known quantity. He is fast on the
bases and has a good baseball head.
In the games to date Lyman has made
good and has greatly strengthened the
team. At second Chilly has the slug.

!. Victor. who usually plays left
field for the Hawaiian Electric ball
team in the Commercial League, Is
the leading batsman on his team, with
an average fer two games played OF
900 per cent. He also played short for
the Healam team last Saturday
against the fast St. Louis aggregation
and secured three hits out Of four
times up.
Fred Comes, the crack shOrtstop OF
the Hawaiian Electric. can surely peg
that bail Many of the victories cred
tied to the Electrics are due to his
perfect throws at critical times. He
is also a fast man and covers his pO-
sition we'll. He has, however, fallen
way below in the hitting department,
which only credits him with an aver
age of l43 for two games played.
The Electrics have found a real
pitcher in c. B. Hosea. 1t will be re,
membered that this youngster was
sent on the mound to twirl against the
strong Mutual Telephone Company
and struck out II men. In this game
he was not touched for hit up to the
sixth inning. He also pitched against
the Won Hamm-Young last Sunday
after that aggregation had scored
seven runs in the third inning on A.
Nelson. During the period Hosea was
in the box, the automobile men were
practically at his mercy.
When it comes to "windup" for
a delivery, the pitcher for the Star.
Bulletin team certainly has something
on Loie Fuller, the serpentine dancer.
It has been noticed that some OF
the players have a habit Of getting off
by themselves. and are practising
strenuously on swinging three bats at
once Don't know il a batter would
be permitted to go to bat with three
bats punched for a hit. and it would
take some tall old twirling by, the
pitcher to get the ball by. but pshaw,
some of them. need a picket fence to
get hit Meaning whom?
This new stunt of playing safe
by tossing the baseman In the air
and having him land on the runners
cpu so hard that he drops the ball
is oppressive, even for the spectators;
but it makes good.

| Der Of the Saturday Evening Post BY
Charles E. Van Loan, the title being
Gentlemen, You Can't Go Through.
He gives a very excellent picture OF
the slow four-ball match that ties up
the course, and while like so many
others who write about gc'f he con
fuses foursome with four-ball match
es, this is only a minor fault.
But there is another side to this
story. We have all heard the tale Of
the early bird and the worm, and none
Of US ever had much sympathy for
the worm. But the player In the slow
four-balr match has his tale, and here
is one Of them: Some time ago at
the club where happen to be the
chairman of the green committee re,
ceiYed a number Of complaints about
four members, very few.o whom car.
ried their own clubs. Naturally, they
played slowly, as balls were lost. So
I dropped one of them a courteous
note about 1t and reminded him that
four-ball matches should keep their
places and that in the event Of fast
er playing match oyertaking them
with a free hole ahead that they
should let It pass through and remind.
ing them that in no case had a match
without caddies any standing on any
golf course, and that they must Let all
other matches through, irrespective
whether there was a hole ahead open
or not And here is the reply that
was sent. me: ~. ~.
Il have your very polite note and
will call the attention Of my friends
to the matters of which. you speak, It
is quite possible that they or some OF
them have inadvertently on some &C.
casions overlooked the rules to which
you refer, but I think you will lind
that for the most part, they, as well
as myself have been very scrupulous
about permitting matches behind
them to go through on proper occa-
sions. Very often players feel that
they are being improperly held back
when the forward match has itself
been retarded by the one preceding it.
Personally, am very sCrupulous
about such things and so far as ]
have observed my friends have been
also.
You speak Of an obligation to allow
players who play faster to go through.
haze never known of any golf rule to
this effect and if there is to be a
local rule it should be communicated
to the members by posting or other
wise. Personally, l should very much
regret to see any such rule adopted.
You must have observed that the d.
sease Of 'Americanitis is spreading
quite rapidly and it is. to be regretted
that it should be extended to the game
OF golf. do not see any reason why
persons should be expected to hurry
in order to crafty the desire for haste
on the part Of other players. While
myself probably take from one to two
strokes more per hole than the best
players. 1 think l play rather rapidly,
which is perhaps the reason why l
do not play better. I do not think
that l should be asked to play more
rapidly, or to allow the succeeding
match to pass me. unless. of coursa.
