A reputation means much tn n pro-

tanning of the reputation which he n
earned Is a very serious matter to him.
A man may succeed in winning four
or five open championships and for II
period OF years may be considered the

with all the weight of the honors 80 Mt
tanned, II he should happen to strike n
period Of. say, two years. In which his
game Is not quite en- n par with that
displayed by several of his most scri.
Gus rivals. he will inevitably find him
self for the time quite out of the pic
ture. He has then simply to blde his
time until some great individual per.
Torrance once again raises him to his
old position In the esteem of the pub
lie.
To even the very best professional
players IL Is n continual struggle, year
in and year out, to keep their places
In the limcllght. and here they must OF
II surety be. They cannot afford the
luxury of even ore Indifferent or lazy
