Lieut.. Coquelet Compares His

Camp Leach. at the T., w. c. A. Coun-
try Club in Wisconsin avenue last night
America and France have had a
similar history and cherish similar
ideals" said Lieut.. Coquelet. They
have the same basic national holiday
to celebrate their independence. and
PARTICULARLY do their armies resemble
each other. The French officer Of to-
day in most cases has worked him
self up from the ranks. and this also
is true in the American Army. No
other armies In the world are like
these two In this respect. In both
armies the officers live with the men
and share their common perils. This
is so opposed to the German idea
that l have seen . group of captured
German soldiers salute their officer
without being noticed by him"
Lieut.. Coquelet, who has served
from the ranks, who has been wound
ed three times and wears three deco
rations, praised the American Y. NJ.

have no fear as to the welfare of
their boys.

TWILIGHT GOLF HAS DONE
WONDERS FOR E.G. GRACE
By WILLIAM II. EVANS

THE latest volume OF Who's Who in
L America" contains 5000 pages and in
IT are brief biographies of the great and
near great of this country. yet the name
of one of the admittedly biggest men in
the country is not even mentioned. and
that man happens to be Eugene G. Grace.
president Of the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany. and under him are n hundred thou
sand men. But that is typical of Mr..
Grace. We, cares nothing at all for that
sort of thing and who is one of the
most modest of the really great men of
the country.

local champion. on Chestnut street yes

Saturday and Sunday off that he has
had in months. for down at Washington
the best he can get is twilight golf and
every HOW and then he runs UP to Pine
VALLEY for a Sunday on the links.
Last October Buck played at Pine
Valley with Mr.. Grace. Chick Evans,
George A. Crump and PAU Mackall, as
ststant sales manager of the Bethlehem
Steel Company. At that time Mr.. Grace
returned two cards of 90 and 103. This
was not a representative score by any
means for the steel man. for he has play

and he has gone around Seavlew in IS.

Buck says he has never seen any one
whose game has improved so materially
in nine months as that of the head Of
the big steel company. In the four rounds

the steelmaster was as low AS IS and
his highest round was 81. All of which

would say that ! have seen some women
who make golf too much of social af-
fair and not enough of real sport
which has for its object making the
course with the least number of strokes.
! have discussed the subject of wo-
men players with a number of prominent
women golfers. and I believe that too
many women start game with the idea
that there are physical limitations upon
woman's success in the great game.
while others start out with the wrong
idea that their style of play should be
distinctly different from golf as men play
II.
AS matter Of fact the best women
players closely approach the best play
Of expert men golfers. and their style
of play is by no means dissimilar. One
would be inclined to assume that a
womans club should be widely different
from those used by a man. AS a mat.
ter of fact the difference need not be
great. OF course, the weight. length,
thickness of grips. etc. should be adapt
ed to the individual woman player, pre-
cisely as they are in the case Of men.
otherwise the underlying principles Of
the game are exactly the same with
the exception. perhaps. that a woman
cannot take so free and full a swing
as most men do. Grip and stance should,
however, duplicate exactly those of a
man. l believe that woman can de-
velop splendid three-quarter swing
with both wooden and iron clubs. al
though I am aware that many profess
sonals teach their pupils to use the
half swing for these clubs 1t Is sur
prising what n free and open swing a
woman can develop If she only believes
she can and approaches the play deter

ally. In his two days of golf he crowds
| in seventy-two holes Luncheon means
enough steam to carry him through the
afternoon. As soon as he can he is away
for the afternoon round.
Steelmaster Wastes No Time
He walks brisklv. He never lags be-
hind. If anything. he is a bit ahead of the
other players. He does not intentionally
get in front. but he is pushing always
toward the green. The moment the last
putt is holed he is away to the next tee
He plays quickly but with care and he
has the rare faculty Of concentration. He
rarely looks up on his stroke and he has
no serious golf faults. AS driver he
will rank with some of the best Swatters
from tie tee in the country. He crowds
more pleasure into two days of golf than
most of us get in a week. He plays
his iron shots with judgment and the
rough and hazards do not bother him.
At times his putting is uncanny and 1t is
rare that he takes more than two puts
on any green.
Buck believes that the marvellous i'm
provement in his game since he played
with him last fall at Pine Valley is due
to tie fact of constant practice. He has
one of the show places at Bethlehem and
there he has built a hole on his grounds.
Nearly every evening when he is through

it was decidedly poor. suck lived at
Huntingdon Valley Club and every
morning before breakfast he made it a
practice to get out on the course and
have a work k-out.
In less than year he, was the stead
lest player at the Valley and at one time
for a period of more than month not
once was he over 80. which is some
shooting if you have played the Noble
course.
If one of the very busiest men in the
country. who crowds more into a days
work than most of us do in three, can
do what Mr. Grace has done in the last
year. all of us can do the same in a
measure. OF course there is more
pleasure in playing in four-ball matches,
but the only sure way to improve the
play is by devoting a half hour or an
hour work ng out various shots and with
plenty of daylight there is no valid rea-
son why all of us cannot reduce our
golf scores and eliminate lot Of the
golf evils that we suffer from and turn
the weak points of our game into points
of strength.
