There was large crowd OF Philadel-

in superb condition. The greens par
ticularly were excellent and, while true,
were decidedly fast. They were watered
last night and that should take some
Of the keenness out of them. Otherwise
there will be some high scoring today.
In view of the admitted fact that
more golfers play over the Atlantic City
course than any other links in the coun-
try, and when 1t is remembered that the
course Is never idle and is probably the
only course in the East that is in daily
use. the condition Of the links Is truly
remarkable.

Every golfer who comes TO Atlantic

without at least one round. AS thou
sands are of the dub class, the course
has been hacked and plowed by every
poor player in the country. but there
are few wounds to show that many bat

BREAKS IN GAME
ARE FIFTY-FIFTY
Question of Golf TOurna-
ment of More Importance
to Players
SOME CASES CITED
By CHARLES CHICK EVANS. JR.

BY CHARLES (CHICK) EVANS, JR.
Breaks in, the game is a subject which
we hear much discussed among golfers
but its importance in match is over
emphasized, ! feel quite sure. over
thrty-six or seventy-two holes of golf
liably. The consistent player is likely
to have fewer breaks against him, of
course, than the take-a-chance variety,
which is only TO be expected; but
breaks" resulting purely from chance
are usually $3.50.
Player Outmaneuvered
| recall hearing the defeated player
in a two-ball match lamenting that the
breaks were against him, when as a
matter of fact he was simply out
maneuvered by a very simple device of
which possibly his opponent wasn't even
conscious. The style of play of these
two players was distinctly different. The
winner was a quick-playing, fast-walking
player The loser was of a more phleg-
matte type but apparently Influenced by
the quick, decisive manner of his op-
ponent. unconsciously dropped his own
style of play and took up that OF his
competitor.
The result was he was thrown off his
game and did not make at all the score
of which he was capable. The quick,
snappy style of the winner was quite
unsuted to the temperament of the
loser. Had the loser stuck to his own
method he would probably have won
that match There is a little golfing

to remember 1t is: Play your own

Tee Shots Decide Games
There is another factor entering into
golf matches which players are apt to
| interpret as a break in the game
! which. as a matter of fact, is nothing or
the kind, | have in mind the purely
mental affect which being consistently
outdriVen has on many players. Most
players assert and believe that they DO
! not object to being outdriven, but many

they are in a worse position than II they
had gracefully accepted the superior
driving power of their opponent. And
obviously either result seriously handi-
caps them in playing their best game
1t is apparent in this case that chance
is not connected with the situation at all
although you would hear many players
attribute such results to the break OF
the game" The question is rather one
of golf temperament.
When we investigate most breaks ir
the game we find that while they are
undoubtedly a factor in matches, they
have nothing like the importance which
is usually ascribed to them. Most o
the breaks of the game will be eliminated
