but the finish has nearly always
been a pale blue anti-climax, so
far as closeness was concerned.
At Medal Play.
The medal play tests of the open
championship have told an exactly
opposite story.
Most of them have been replete
with stirring drama and head-and-
head dashes down the stretch to
the wire.
There have been five or six ties.
needing pisy-orfs, the most notable
being the Ouimet -Vardon-Ray scrim-
mage of 1913. where Ouimet's last
nine holes that led to the tie will
never be forgotten in the annals Of
eolf.
In 1914 Hagen beat Evans by a
single stroke in a dramatic march
to victory.
In 1915 Travers won by a single
| stroke in another close affair
In 1916 Evans and Hutchison had
| a wonderful duel all the way, while
| in 1919, at Braeburn. Hagen and
| Mike Brady kept IL, 900 golf fans in
an uproar. Hagen catching Brady on
the final green. after he had looked
to be safely stranded well to the
rear.
This called for another play-or,
which again went to the last putt
that one putt sealing a match
that had lasted through three days
and ninety holes of play.
Last year again, at Inverness,
| fharn Ave nFarfir2l1V tied
over the last few holes. Ray won
by a stroke, with each OF the others
having a putt TO tie on the closing
green. The battle ended with -four
tied for second place. just back OF
the leader.
Medal Play Ahead.
In the way of golf drama. medal
play has match play outclassed. Our
open championships have been a Sc
ries of dramatic finishes. Our anna,
teur championships have been a Sc.
ries of anti-climaX finishes, one
sided romps.
The match-play battles betweer
Evans and Ouimet at Oakmont ir
1919 and between Evans and Reggie
Lewis at Roslyn in 1920 will never

DISTRICT COLLEGE MINES FACE
BUSY WEEK ON THE DIAMOND

Five college games are listed for
the early part Of the coming week,
any one Of which should be of more
than passing interest to local col
legiats baseball fans.
The diamond headliners of the
week will probably be flashed to-
morrow when Catholic University
hooks up with the University of
Maryland at American League Park
and Georgetown's championship ag-
gregation takes on the fast Uni
versity of Pennsylvania team at
the Hilltop. These two games will
probably be the class of the week.
However. three more games are
listed for Tuesday afternoon which
should come very near being as at
tractive as the opening battles to-
morrow. Tuesday the Hilltoppers
clash with Holy Cross; Catholic
University battles Pennsylvania aad
Gallaudet hooks up with Delawara
College.
From a local standpoint the Cath

probably the most important and

would you rather watch-the medal

tests which govern the amateurs?
There has been more than one

can be no dispute as to which Of

Tex Rickard. who recently relieved

tire 100000 forfeit himself. has had
about as adventurous a life as any

punching cattle up through the big
ranges until he reached Montana.
There Tex was branching out as an
independent cattle man when the
country again became too tame for
him, and he struck out for the Alas =
kan wilderness.
Tex was in .he northwest when
golf was discovered. and he at once
got together an outfit and started
for Nome. He was in one of the
first parties to go up the Yukon into
the northern wilderness that took
its toll of thousands OF lives durinS
the gold rush. Rickard not only
survived, but came out with a for
tune in excellent health and as ex-
Tert driving a dog team as he used
to be riding broncs.
Rickard is a natural born adven-
turer. II he'd been hanging aroun

Irksome, so he tried his luck at faro
bank, roulette and everything else
from keno to double high five, back
in Nome.
He lost his fortune, picked up an
other, went up and down four or
five times and enjoyed living.
Nothing ever worries Rickar,l
