As May passes out against the blue
skyline of summer and June reaches
the first tee again, there awaits just
ahead one of the most interesting ex-
pertinent Of golfing history.
This experiment will be a test TO see
yond still holds championship qualifi-
cations-or whether at that age Time
has plastered too heavy a handicap
to be overcome by experience and skill.
This test Will be conducted al two
places first at Muirfcld, starting a
week from Monday; later on, at Deal,
in the closing days of the month.
The Great Experiment
The Murfeld test will not be quite
so important. Here we will have John
Ball, at the age of ffty-seve trying
for his ninth British amateur champion
ship, where Bob Gardner, among 9th
ers, viii represent the United States.
Ball won his last championship at
the age of forty He is still big.
powerful, rugged type with plenty Of
fine golf left in his system, but
whether al ffty-seven he can stand up
under 2 weeks play is another matter.
Make no mistake about this champion
most trying of all sports--a continued
strain, both physically and mentally,
that starts early Monday morning and
lasts until late Saturday afternoon
without a rest,
One not only has to slog his way
along for twelve to fourteen miles a
day, uphill and down, but there is the
added strain of knowing that each
stroke may mean victory or defeat.
Ball has met this test upon eight
occasions. He first won back in 1888,
a matter Of thirty-two years ago.
For a man 10 repeat a champ pionship
after a hirty-two-ycar interval would
be one Of the most marvellous per-
formauces in all sport-something that
seems to be beyond even the greatest
OF Ball.
The Other Test
The other test will attract even
greater attention. For here we have
three notabIes, at fifty, making the
same experiment.
These three are Harry Vardon, John
Henry Taylor and James Braid.
Among them they have won no less
than sixteen open championships of
Great Britain.
They form the greatest golf trium.
virate that ever lived At fifty they
are still playing fine golf, but they
have hard journey ahead with such
younger talent as Abe Mitchell, Walter
Hagen George Duncan and Ted Ray to
overthrow.
These three are going out grimly
this month to prove they still rule
the game-that one of them can win
In a way, it is one of the most in
