J. F. Murphy
Memorial Show at the
Salmagundi


A really invaluable service has been
rendered to the memory Of ]. Fran
els Murphy in an exhibition arranged
at the Salmagundi Club. The com
mittee in charge might so easily
have overshot the mark, assembling a
quantity of his later things on the
plausible pretext of Showing him at
his best" Instead of that a sagacious
effort has been made actually to re-
veal the man at full length, to illus
trate the beginning, the middle and the
end Of his art. There are only about
fifty numbers in the catalogue, but
within this limited scope the Salma-
gundi exhibition enables US to know
him better than ever before.
It was an especially happy idea to
include the early drawings, which dis
close the point of view with which
Murphy started. 1t was that of a
Jealous observer and even more Jealous
interpreter of natural forms. He ran
the risk of missing the tree through
undue minuteness in drawing its de-
tails. But the pressing danger did not
overtake him. From his painstaking
care in details he passed to thoroughly
artistic generalization. Though it took
him some years to handle landscape
as mass, picture like his "Tints of a
Vanished Past" dating from 1885,
echoing in its rather hard craftsman
ship the too meticulous drift of his
first sketches, it is plain that even then
he was on the way to the breadth of
his prime, Oddly, there is little

In che predominating group of water
colors these observations ara thrown
into the foreground. They reveal vivid
" the casual sidelights of the chase.
One for instance, "You Can't Keep a
Good Man Down." portrays an ingeni-
GUS rider taking a short cut over a
barbed wire fence, which he BIS first
thrown into view by dismounting and
placing his crimson coat over che wire.
1t is such observations as this that
make the work of Mr.. Hays doubly

Young at the Wildensfein CaElery)

is a blunt tribute but we offer it whole
heartedly. In the development of his
craft he has prohted, obviously, by the
example of John Sargent. The fact is
equally unmistakable in his portraits
and in his watercolors. But it is a
out lsSsening in any way our enjoy
ment of what he does. One may be
content to recall famous master when
one has work to show that is intrin-
sically so good.
The virtue of q portrait by Mr.. de
Glehn is that it is soundly constructed,
built up as it were rom within, and
then that it is painted with spirited
attack upon technical problems, fluent
ly, firmly, so that the resultant effect
is both spontaneous and exact. There
is one portrait of man, the Roger
Quilter," to show in it's crisp definition
how slilfully he can deal with SIM
pie subject and match its severity by
the directness of his touch. The rest
of the portraits are all of women, ex-
amples of nervous grace and elegance.
A hasty impression would leave them
in the memory as the decorative studies
of pretty figures. Closely studied they
reveal more lasting merits. There is
character in them. They are well
drawn. And the "brio" in Mr.. de
Glehn's brushwork is satisfaction in
New-York tribune., 1921-11-20

interesting. There are also seven s'is'
all softer in tone and more decorative
than the watercolors. "Thc Rum IS an
especially decorative landscape IN an
tumn browns. Family out OF the d1s-
sant dusk appears the flash Of nnlma-
ton and color that betokena the ap-
preaching chase. The artist has done

OF ms colleagues are presumably emu
lous OF his manner. They handle it
with mild effectiveness, Mr. William
H. Donahue and Mr. Walter BolIen-
donk. There is promise III the paint
lngs by Mr. Daniel Kotz. Two sculptors
share in the enterprise, Mr. C. A. Heber
and Miss Ida Costigan. The formers
"Bondage' is a powerful production,
we'll conceived and we'll modelled. But
the Manuel group, as a group, hardly
justifes itself.
The months show at the Grolier
Club is devoted to u collection of one
hundred illustrated books, dating from
1472 to 1896. This exhibition is open
to the public every week day between
10 and 6. 1t lasts until December 81.
The Arthur Ackermann gallery an
nounces an exhibition of old-time
coaching prints, to last from Decem-
Der l to January Is. This will be
followed by an exhibition of water col
ors of game birds by Mr.. Philip Rick
man and one of etchings by Mr.. Sturgis.
1t is little difficult to review the
anonymous exhibition at the gallery
of the Junior Art Patrons without
spelling the guessing game which it
offers to the layman. The latter is in
vited to restore, if he can, the missing
signatures. He has until the end of
the month to indulge in this pastime
Then a catalogue will appear, and
whoever has guessed the largest num-
ber of names correctly will receive a
painting as reward. Some of the indi-
vidualities involved are wholly obvious.
There are pictures in the show which
one could hardly miss with ones eyes
shut. There are others that are un-
questionably puzzling. 1t is an enter
tanning, varied collection, with a few
really fine things in it. We have in
mind the composition of nudes by Mr..
x, wintry landscape by another Mr..
X. and beautiful Partisan snow scene
by still another Mr.. X. The pictures

A new group is introduced at the
Babcock gallery, the group of Manuel
Painters and Sculptors.' The work of
one member of it, Mr.. John E. Costi-
gan, We have seen before with some ap-
probation. He cultivates very thick
impasto, too thick, perhaps, but he gets
fairly good vibrating color out of it
and his rustic figures have neat
touch of characterization about them.
1t would be interesting to see his
talent at closer quarters with land
scape forms. At present they are OBJ
scured by his mere paint; he is like

American sporting pictures by W. j.
Hays, A. N. A., on view at the Brown
Robertson gallery, are particularly in
teresting from present day point of
view. Here is pictured an old subject
in a thoroughly modern guise. The set
tings are the rolling hills and farm
country of Duchess County, the play
ground of the Millbrook Hunt Club.
The subjects are essentially American
in spirit and character. though all of
the romance and color of the traditional
oldworld sport are preserved. The
modern note is accentuated through
the artists observation that no mod
ern American countryside is without
it's mechanical aspect. 1t is curiously
interesting to see in these picturiza-
tioAs of horses and hounds the occa-
sional introduction of the motor car.
Fortunately, however, once the chase
is under way this alien aspect falls
away beside an imposing vista of roll
ing autumn landscape and sun-tinged
clouds. Mr.. Hayss paintings have the
mark of familiarity and understanding
that gives them reality and conviction.

some club with just trihe less loft
than the mashie blade.
The ball should be on a line Just a
tribe nearer the right heel than the
LETT. This point is disputed, but most
OF the leading chip shot opponents ad-
vocate the right heel location.
The left wrist should be firm, acting
S guide or brace, but the stroke come
from the right hand, wrist and fore
arm, with the body practically still.
The right wrist should snap through
firmly, taking the bottom of Ehe ball
and the ground together in what might
be termed pinching effort. 1t is more
flick than anything else.
One of the most important details
to remember in connection with thi,
short approach is not to bring the club
head back too swiftly. An even. easv
steady back swing is essential, to be
followed by crisp forward motion of
wreck this shot is to jerk back the
club head at too fast d pace. A miss is
rarely recorded when one swings back
steadily and keeps the BODY out of the
stroke. There is always an unusuallv
strong incentive to look up-to lift the
ead-when playing this shot, and this
can be best corrected by not hurryinp
the stroke or turning it into jerkv
stab. 'NS
When the average player-or the
yolier between 90 and 90-fnds himself
laying MS chip approach up around
the pin he is almost sure to have one
of his best rounds. For even if he
isn't putting any too brilliantly. he
isn't leaving himself many chances to
take three puts by chipping fifteen feet
snort or twenty-five feet over. AS this il
always an anxious moment it is a
good idea to make a practice of curb
ing any overanxety or eagerness As
one takes his stance-to merely %
about he effort simply and easily.
For on the other hand, it isn't wise to
pet set too long over the ball. and
thereby become as rigid as a fence
post, IN taking too great an amount
of care. 1t pays. however. to be sure
one has got the right line, for YOU

tempts several feet wide of the line
that runs from ball to cup, USUALLY

correct direction.
This is an easy shot to practice. as
ii takes very little time and can be-
put through without the aid of a
caddie. 1t IS stroke in which con-
tldence plays leading role. and con-
tldence can't be acquired here without
the practice that develops the needed
knack and touch. 1t is one Of the
simplest of all golf efforts, and yet one
that is given very small attention on
the part OF the big army of players
now flooding the bunkered landscape
from California to Maine.
Merely recall the main details:
l. The correct line from ball to pin.
2. Slightly off the right heel-or
reerer that than the left.
3. Firm left wrist with right handed
punch
A. Easy even steady back swing with

Penn State Eleven
Will Play Lebanon
First on Sept. "a
Coach Bezdek Must Develop
Men for Nine Positions:
Faces Hard Campaign

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, Aug. 49,
THE hardest schedule in years" is the
way old-time football stars are charac
terizing the lineup of games that has
been arranged for the Penn State var
sity eleven this fall. With four big
games away from home in addition to
the five home contests, Coach Hugo
Bezdek and his assistants will have a
hard task in turning out another win
ming team.
Harvard, Georgia Tech, Navy and the
University of Pittsburgh will all be
played on foreign gridlrons this fall.
Harvard is always one Of the strongest
teams in the East, while the Golden
Iornadoes have made a habit of de-
feat.ng the best teams in the South
Bob Folwcll q the Navy has more vet
eran material than ne knows what to
do with this year; while the same
thing promises to hold true for pop
Warner at Pitt.
Then Lehigh comes here for Alumni
HomeC Coming Day and the Bethle-
hemites are always a hard foe. Com
ing just before the Harvard game
they occupy a dangerous position on
the Penn State schedule, for the Nit
tany warriors will be pushed to the
limit to win and will not have time
enough to prepare new plays for the
game with the Crimson.
Bezdek is also not overlooking the
game with Carnegie Tech on Pennsyl-
vania Day North Carolina State
Gettysburg and Lebanon Valley are
the so-called practice games, but those
teams are far from being ''set-ups."
And all that the willy Hugo has to do
10 prepare for such an array OF games
is 10 develop new men for nine posi-
tons on the team A hopeless task,
apparently, but not if one knows Be-
dek and his capable staff of assistants.
Build Up a team they will and though
it may be green, it will play real foot
ball. Eight new men had to be de-
veloped last year, yet the team was
indicated. Indications are that ma
terial viii not be so plentiful this fall,
so the task Of the coaches will be that
much harder.
The complete Penn State schedule is
as follows: September "a, Lebanon
Valley, at home; October T. Gettys-
burg, at home; October s, North Caro-
lima State, at home; October IS,
alumni Day) Lcnigh, at home; Octo-
Der %. Harvard, at Cambridge; Octo-

ball practice at Syracuse University
Will start IN earnest few days after
Labor Day under the direction of head
coach Chick Meehan.
With wealth of material coming up
from the freshman team of last sea-
son, the chief problem facing Meehan
this season will be the same one that
bafHed him for a great portion of the
past season, that of finding a capable

last year the most successful of them
all perhops being Babe" Frugone. Of
Brooklyn.
Athletic officials here were given =
shock early this week, when reports
reached here that Frugone had suf-
fered serious injuries in a swimming
accident at his home in Brooklyn.
They investigated and found he had
wrenched his shoulder in diving, but
that his injuries were not anywhere
near as serious had been reported
here. He will report to Meehan on or
shortly after September 6.
Coming back with Frugone will be
Jappe, the l9o-pound tackle of the
freshman team of 1919 Jappe was IN
able to return to college last season.
He played with class in the tackle pc
sition on the freshman eleven of two
years ago and at that time was re-
garded as one of the best line pros
poets of the season. He has com pleted
his work as a freshman, so will be
eligible for varsity football this fall.
He will enter into the forthcoming bat

Williams Will Learn
Harvard Football Tactics

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass Aug. -
A change in the system which has been
seen in connection with Williams foot
ball teams in past years is likely to re-
suit when Percy Wendell, the former
Harvard star. assumes his duties as
head coach this fall, FOR the chances
are that he will develop the Purple
eleven along the same lines which
have been in vogue with the Crimson.
For the last few years the Colgate
style of game has held forth here un-
der the direction of Joe Brooks, while
