Formidable at Oakmont

The report is that Gardner is now
playing we'll when he gets a chance
to romp around the course
He was in the service for we'll over
a year, and SO has not drawn the
chance to play that most of his lead
ing rivals have. But he, is a man who
gets to his game quickly.
He will be a form dable opponent at
Oakmont, as this course, with its long
his game. He can afford to take the
short cut to the pin and get away
with it, thereby opening up the hole
and leaving himself a simpler and
easier shot to the green.
And the two-time championship star
is the type who will go boldly for this
advantage.
Gardner has earned his place as one
of the Big Four of American amateur
golf, the other three being Evans,
Travers and Ouimet. He. will be the
sole entry, with the exception of Ira
vers, who has won more than one
amateur title.
Gardner has drawn more than one
ships. In 1910 at Brookline he drew
a. late start, was forced to play on
through dusk and then finish his quail
flying round early the next morning.
The result was that he failed to quail
fly. Against Bobby Jones at Merton
he was down in the morning round,
and later was called upon to play
four sensational shots in succession
to halve four holes where any slip
would have dropped him from the
match.
There isn't more popular golfer in
the country nor one Of higher type.
And the opponent who draws him in
match play knows in advance that his
days work is cut out to q finish.

Caddi, Ex-Amateur
RinggC hampion,Out
Of Game Forever

Sergeant John Gaddi, who, under
the colors Of the Mems Club Of St.
Bartholomew Episcopal Church, went
into the war holding the national,
state and metropolitan amateur boxing
championships, has made his last ap-
pearance in the ring. Boche bullets
during the fighting in the Argonno put
an end to his career as an amateur
boxer Gaddi has just returned to the
States to assist his club in furthering
the Every Name and Nation Wide
campaigns of the Episcopal church,
which is intended to bring young men
into closer contact with the Church.
Entering the 305th Infantry, A. z. =,
as a private, Gaddi fought his way to
sergeant's stripes as he had battle d
his way to three championships as an
amateur boxer in the ante-belum days.
He was one of the gamest hghtc rs
that ever donned the gloves in amateur
competitions. Two years ago Gaddi
won successfully the national amateur
championships in the heavyweight
ELECTROMAGNETIC and middleweiph I
classes.
At Ynphank, during the training
period of the famous 77th Division,
Gaddi easily won the championship of
the division. Later, on the other side,
he met and Defeated the championa of
several other divisions.

Foreign Tennis
Stars Entered
hU. S. Doubles
Tennis Body Valves Rules
and Permits Australians
to Try for National Title

Norman f. Brookes and Gerald L.
Patterson, with another Australian
pair, Randolph Lycett and R. v.
Thomas. have been entered in the
national doubles championship to be
played on the courts of the Longwood
Cricket Club at Boston the week of
August II. Their entry has been &C.
cepted by vote of the executive COM
mittee of the United States National
Lawn Tennis Association, although the
teams will be unable to compete in
any of the sectional championships
preceding the national event.
The first announcements from Lon
don, after the English championship,
stated that the Australians would
leave on the Aquitania, which sailed
about July ~. However, subsequent
cable was received from major Mid
dleton, of the Australian Sports Board"
saying that they had been unable to sail
on that ship and would leave on the
Adriatic on the 18th. But the sailing
was postponed until the 24tb, so that
the Adriatic can hardly be expected
before July 81.
AS that would bring the visiting
teams here too late for any of the
qualifying events, George T. Adee,
president Of the national association,
communicated WITH inc executive COM
mittee members, who voted to accept
the entry of the visiting teams with
out requiring them to win a sectional
championship.
Section of the bylaws provides that
the Executive committee Is empow-
cred at its discretion to permit for
special cause any foreigners or other
players to enter for any match given
under the auspices of this association"
"1n view of this provision and the
difficulties the Australian teams have
experienced in securing passage to the
United States" said Adee last night,
ait seemed only fair to waive the re-
quirement that they win q sectional
doubles event to qualify for the ma
tional championship.
Furthermore, as the visitors are
coming to the United States as the
guests of the association, interna-
tional courtesy and craftsmanship
make it desirable that they should have
every opportunity to take part in our
championships. The opinions Of the
members of the executive committee
agree on this point.
"Our only regret is that they could
not reach the United States for the
preliminary doubles and thus play in
cities where it may be impossible for
them to appear after the championship
because of their departure for Aus
tralia."
Cablegrams have been sent to Major
Middleton and Colonel Watson, of the
Australian Sports Board, notifying
them of the acceptance of the entry of
the two teams named.

Stout Of Heart

Gardner is one of the hardest men
in the country to handle at match play.
He is stout of heart, and the harder
the match the more likely he is to set
tie down to his best game.
He has had but one bad beating, and
Ouimet at Ekwanok in 1914, when the
eX-open champion hit too fast a pace
for any one to follow in this match
Here is sample of his battling abl-
ity: Against Max Mnrston at Detroit
in 1915 Gardner waN3 down and a to
play. Marston had already eliminated
Travers and was moving at top speed.
The match looked to be all over But
Gardner swung back with the best he
had, and by sinking two fine puts won
the next two holes. This turn left him
hole was halved in par 4s, Gardner
reaching the green on his second shot
$50 yards from the rough with spec
tacular iron shot.
He was then l down and l to play
when they reached the 185-yard thirty
sixth hole.
The cup at this hole was placed with
in less than five yards of deep trap
to the left of the green from the tee.
Gardner could have played safely to
the right. In place of this, he fired
PoAi'S DiAHn AOA VIZ QiIlf tHc Dull COIIluS
to rest between the cup and the pit,
with an eight-foot putt left for 2.
Marston then raped one to the green,
about forty feet beyond the cup, leav-
ing himself slanting. sliding, slipping,
downhill putt, one of the hardest shots
in the game to play under the condi-
tions then extant. The Baltusrol golfer
tapped the ball with bold confidence
and it curled on by the cup, about
twenty inches away.
Gardeners putt for 2 barely missed
the cup, stopping six inches beyond. At
that point he once again looked to be
a member of the Eliminated Clan, but
Marston's putt curled away from the
rim and Gardner had squared the
match. to win at the thirty seventh
hole.
Out Of the last five holes against
Marston he had won four and halved
one, remarkable recovery under the
circumstances, and full proof that he

Championship Contenders-No. 4, Rob
ert A. Gardner

ert A. Gardner
If Robert A. Gardner, Of Hinsdale,
another Chicago star, took part in as
much tournament play and gave as
much attention to the game as num-
Der of others he would have more than
two championship trophies swinging
from his tepee.
Even as it is, he overthrow the field
at Chicago In 1909 and six years later
at Detroit once swung back to the
heights. And In 1916 at Merton, start
ing with an infected hand, he reached
the final round against Chick Evans
before he was stopped. Two champion
ships and a runner-up finish is some
thing, as it is.
Fine Type
Bob Gardner is one of the finest
athletic types in American play. He
is above all things else a sportsman of
100 per cent mould. At Yale he was
captain of the track team and holder
of the worlds pole vault record, a
pastime that helped to develop his arm
and back muscles and thereby add
many yards to his wonderful range.
When the war broke out he was one
Of the first to don the khaki of our
Uncle Sam.
Gardner is one Of the tall and rangy
type, capable Of great distance from
the tee and far more than average dis
lance with the iron. He is a mighty
wielder of the cleek and midiron, get
ing as far with these clubs as most
good golfers can get with the wood, an
advantage of no light consequence.
He handles mashie steadily and is
in addition first class putter. In
fact, it is difficult to find any pro-
nounced weakness in any section If
his game.

is never beaten until the final putt is
holed.
One Record Shot
The Chicago star is also the only
American golfer who ever hoed his
tee shot in championship match.
Playing against Tom Sherman, they
came to. the short seventh hole. Sher-
man was then 2 up, and dropped his
mashie shot within two feet of tine
cup for an almost sure and hole
le&d. Gardner then followed with a
pitch that trickled in for l, the only
l ever made in U. S. G. A. amateur
championship.
1t was just enough to beat Sherman,
for if Gardner had taken a par on
this hole he could probably never have
overcome the lead, as Sherman was
then at his best.
Later on in the same match Gardner
topped his tee shot to the rough, and
then, having drawn fair lie, carried
a bunker guarding the green we'll over
22O yards away. dropping his putt for
8.

1t is the great power in his fore

him all the more form liable.
