EN- SEVERE BEATING STARS BEAT TEAMS IN TITLE SERIES

They Will be more than forrnio-
able factors-they have a frst-clsss
chance of taking the btg prize back

low figures. At Brookline they I'm
ished together, stroke for stroke.
They are certainly playing as well
now as they were seven years ago;
in fact they appear TO be playing
sdrer, sounder golf.

exhibition matches. will be especial.
ly formidable. II we had TO name
one man from the big field who had
the best chance of winning. the tip
would be Ray. Those fine two-shot
holes at Inverness will be greatly
to his liking, for the long hitter
there has a much simpler shot ahead
than the one who is many yards
back.
In this coming championship Ray
and Nardon will make a supreme 81

two Englishmen would have played

Down 20 n Few.
IL may seem a rugged task for
two men 70 face a big field and
come through. But, after all, when
you weed out the unlikely cAndi-
dates, there are not so many to be
feared.
Jim Barnes should be their most
formidable rival Then. among the
pros, come Hagen. Brady. Hutchi-
son. Mcnamara IL he plays. DiegeI
and one or two others. Evans and
Jones will be the leading amste,ITs

whom Ray and Vardon might ind

And OF these six or eight stars
you will find that three or four are
not going any too we'll On the
other side OF IL you can be almost
certain that the two Englishmen
will be moving steadily along from
seVenty-three to seventy-six.
II Nardon finds his putter work
ing properly he will, Of course. be
a dangerous factor. All Ray needs
is 10 keep on putting as he has
been up 10 date in his various eN-
hibitions. The big fellow may tear
the earth asunder with that mighty
niblick swipe. but his putting touch
Is as delicate as that OF a Nc
Nsmsra- a Trsvcrs, a Travis or,
OUimet.
The United States will certainly
need its best golf TO stop this pair
at Inverness. They will be better
than they were at Brookline seven
years back, or we miss an easy
guess.

Red Cross Defeats Andrews.

The American Red Cross downed
the Andrews team yesterday in a
fast game on Diamond No. Z. Both
Luman and Urban pitched alright
ball. Myers, of the winners, made
home run that won the game.
The score by innings:
The Washington herald., 1920-08-01

The average golfer knows what IL
means to play a strange course for
the first time. especially IL that
course happens to be rolling and a
trihe hilly, where distances are fire.
quently deceptive and are only
learned by frequent tests, trials and
tribulations.
The greatness of Ray and vsrdon
was never better shown than at Fox
Hills. a course OF the rolling. un-
dulating type with certain rather
sharp ascents and descents to figure
on.
Yet Vardon. with a wounded
thumb, got around In SO on his first
trip, and, on his second round Ray
turned in a 81. two strokes under
the professional record of the
course.
nS,nenal rounds over strange
courses. are proof not only of fine
golf, but of wonderful Judgment in
figuring ranges. II is extremely
hard over a strange terrain forithe
average golfer or even the higher
class golfer. to tell whether he is
$50 yards or 165 yards from the
pin: whether his next shot. is IFS
yards or 1875.
Yet one glance seems to be about
all Ray or Vardon needs One
glance, and. having secured the
club they need. the ball drops some
where close to the pin as IL they
had been playing the course every
day for year.
Judgment Of Distance.
This jugment Of distance is a
AZ -
and yet IL is one of the most impor-
tant parts Of the game.
On his own course the golfer
knows. from frequent tests, just
what club he will need from a GER
tain spot along the fsirway or the
rough. This isn't the result OF study
or OF Judgment, but of frequent ex-
perience.
He will know the distance ahead
just as he knows his own family or
his own friends.
But out upon the strange pastures
he is at sea, total loss. Yes, we
know a pasture is not even meta
phorically a sea, but you get the
idea
Recently We had a round over the
Engineers Club, where the cham
plonship will be played in Septem-
Der.
Two members Of the four-ball
match had never seen the course
before. Coming to the tenth hole.
1855 yards in length. one man took
an easy mashie and was thirty
yards short; the other took a good
iron wallop and was fifteen yards
over. One said he thought the hole
was only l3O yards and the other
was sure IL was 10.
In playing this hole Ray and Var
don would almost certainly Judge
the distance properly at one glance,
as they have made range finding a
matter Of long study. With them IL
would not be a guess
But with nineteen golfers out OF
twenty the distance to be cleared
on a strange course is a guess Uu-
less they have a guide along who
can put them adjacent to the facts

HARDING RESENTS
SUFFRAGE ATTACK
Impatient Over Charges His Party
is Opposed; Glad if Tennessee
Ratifies.

Marion, Ohio, July 15.--Prornpt rati-
fieation Of the Suffrag amendment, so
that all American women may vote in
the national election III November, is
his earnest desire,s said Senator Warren
c. Harding, Yesterday in statement
in which he denounced "misrcprcacnta-
tions against the Republican party as
opposed To Suffrage
The Republican pominee requested, in
the name of his party, all Repub ican
members Of the North Caro- ina and Ten
nesee Legislature to vote for ratifica-
tion, and don't worry who gets the credit
for putting il over"
Senator Harding's statement follows:
MY patience is sorely tested come
times over the persistent misreprcscnta-
tions of the Repubican party, it's State
Governors and Legislatures, in this mat
ter Of Womans Suffrage. Whether il
emanated from mere mischief makers,
or from partisan desires, | cannot help.
resenting IT..
I'VE must insist upon having fair
treatment of the party, without whose
persistent support this great reform
would never have had a chance Of success.
"a Republican Senate and Repub-
ican House submitted the constitutions
cratic Senate had previously refused
to submit it, Twenty-nine Ropub-
lican and six Democratic States have
ratified t.
Six Democratic States have rejected
the ratification resolution and another,
Louisiana, has Just refused to give IL
consideration One Republican State
Just one, De aware-has rejected it. The
first eight States 10 ratny were Repub-
lican States.
"When i'm 1919. the Republican SEN
ate finally mustered the necessary ma
ioritv to submit the amendment, there
were thirty-six Repub lean and on.y
twenty Democratic Senators voting for
it. But there were seventeen Democratic
and only eight Republican Senators
voting against it,
Whether in. Senate or in House, in
Congress or State Legislature, the rec
ord shows that the Repub leans have
been the persistent and the effective
supporters Of this measure In such
circumstances circumstances that are
thoroughly familiar To everybody IS
simpy amazing that Democratic man
ayers should now have the audacity to
be assuming that they are the friends
on whom the cause must depend IL II is
90 succeed
For myself and the Repub lean Party
| earnestly desire that ratification may
be accomp ished in time TO give the
whoe body Of American women the ba.-
.ot next November | am wcaried with

ratification, and don't care fig whether
il Is secured through a Repub lean

North Carolina will do it or if Tennessee

Repub lean State did it.
There will be glory enough for the
Republican Party, no matter whether
the thirty-sixth State is Republican or
not. II any word Of mine could possibly
be influential with any Republicans in
the North Caro- ina .egis ature or IN the
Tennessee eeis.ature or in the Tennessee
.egis .ature the word would be. Vote
for ratification, and don't worry about
who gets the credit of putting it over. +"
