Upsets
| One queer feature was that at diff
| ferent stages through the tournament
three of the best golfers, Jim Barnes,
Gil Nichols and Jock Hutchinson were
all wild from the tee. Each had at
least one round where he found it diff
fcult to keep on the course, yet these
three are among the finest wooden club
players in the country.
The fact that Nichols, Barnes and
Hutchinson can wander badly astray at
odd moments should be encouraging to
many amateurs who are inclined to be
depressed when their games break up.
There was probably no man in the
tournament who played as steady, con-
sstent golf as Mike Brady. If the
entire programme had been settled
upon a medal play basis he would
almost certainly have won. In his
three matches over three hard courses
he had no round above a IS. Includ-
ing his SO holes at Englewood his five
rounds would have averaged no worse
than 70, which is about as consistent
as one can get, shifted from course 70
course, under weather conditions where
the heat was heavy burden. Brady in
many ways is the prettiest golfer OF
them all to watch. He has a slashing,
smashing style, is willing to take any
sort of chance and he has both the
long and the short game to made good.

HutchinsOn's Great Shot

Jock Hutchinson has one shot that
no other pro. plays. This is mashie
shot to the green with decided pull,
yet one that drops with terrific back
spin for practically no run.
The theory Of backspin is a shot
from left to right, one sliced at the
end. At least. most mashie shots are
played in this fashion as it makes back
spin and little run much easier to ac-
complish. 1t is beyond the power of
most golfers to keep a pulled shot.
from running. But Hutchinson can
stop hook as quickly as the others
can stop a slice. Jock lays most of this
TO a club with exceedingly sharp fur
rows across the blade, but this, while
it would help, could not be the entire
answer. On several occasions his high
mashie shot with decided pull would
strike hole high and then hardly run
three feet, where the gallery WAS look
ing for a sharp spin toward the rough.
Hutchinson puts his body sharply
into this shot, yet he has it under
exceptionally fine control.

The Real Test

The real test will come when the
Honebreds tackle the Foreign Born
united for battle.
There is chance this contest VIII
be arranged before the Western open
in Chicago for early September.
II it is, those present will look upon
one of the best melees Of the decade
The English and Scotch, tossed INTO
one combination, would have the fol-
lowing leaders: Gil Nichols, Jim
Barnes, Jock Hutchinson. Willie Mac
Farlane. Bob Mcdonald. George Sar-
geant, Alex Smith and others OF me
golfing calibre. A.. rroo-
Against this combination the Home
breds would have all the competition
tbev carry. but the Homebreds are con-
fdent they could beat the two COM
bned. Ii;
The Scotch and English are looking
for revenge under one banner, and IL
the two meet, as they likely Will, the
fght will be an even one. FOR, as
strong as the Scotch and English team
Iooks' IL must be remembered that 10
Foreign Born golfer has won an open
championship in this country since
1910.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-08-05

II there is to be an even competition
between Homebred golfers and the For
eign Born, the recent War Relief tourna-
ment proved quite sufficiently that the
English and Scotch teams must COM
bine TO have any sort of chance.
Leaving the weakened amateur team
out of it, the Homebreds proved IN
their matches against the English and
Scotch that they were far ahead OF the
two sections with their strength di-
vided.
The Homebreds won twelve Of their
eighteen matches against the Engllsh
team and eleven of their seventeen
matches against the Scotch. Against
the two they won twenty-three and lost
but thirteen.
As the Scotch won ten Of their nj
teen matches with the English team
they undoubtedly ran second.
