yesterday. 1naC was good and gratl1
great pair of veteran linksmen. Tia,
ahead Of them, what with their ages,
In the morning two young assistant
professionals of the Wykagyl club,
Jimmie Reith and Fred Moore, opposed
the Britons and carried them on even
terms all the way to the eighteenth
green, where Taylor won the match for
his side by sinking putt of some
twenty feet or more. 1t was a very
creditable showing for the youngsters
and an equally good performance for
the visitors. The golf on this round
was not at all brilliant, although both
OF the foreigners played steadily. Be-
tween them they had best ball of ",
which is par for the course.
Thomas V. Birmingham, the home
club star amateur player, and Jerry
Travers were the opponents of Taylor
and Herd in the afternoon. They also
succumbed to the team work of the
Britons. The score Of this match was
3 and /. On this round Taylor and
Herd had a best ball of 70, against
their opponents rs.
Ready for Summer Climate
Sumner Hollander, or Tommy Nc
Namara, or some other good friend, ap-
parently has tipped the visitors off to
our summer climate, because thew were
quite Americanized yesterday, so far as
regalia went. We were struck at once
on seeing the pair arrive coatless and
suspenderless.
We remember that two years ago,
when Vardon and Ray were making a
tour OF this country, they stuck to the
Jackets in spite of all the heat Late
In August the weather did force Var
don to shed his coat, but Ray always
wore a cloak of some kind.
Last year when Duncan and Mitchell
arrived they started out wearing the
regulation uniform of coats, etc.
Somebody informed them they would
melt before they got through if they
didn't dispense with the jackets. AS
the summer wore on Duncan and Mitch
ell became convinced of the truth of
this and for the remainder of the tour
appeared in shirt sleeves. We recall
that Mitchell liked the idea so we'll he
went coatless even during the fall.
1t was interesting, therefore, to note
that two old-timers like Taylor and
Herd, who probably have never before
played without coats, were prepared
for the heat at the very start. And
the belts buckled tightly around the
tops of the trousers are, as far as we
know, something new indeed for these
men.
To complete the description of the
costume, both wore wide, comfortable
trousers and heavy leather shoes with
rubber soles. Each had a light linen
hat covering his head.
Fine Punch In Taylor's Swing
We can quite understand now why
Taylor made such a remarkable show
ing in the recent British open cham
pionship. Perhaps he hasn't the STAN
ina he once had, although he is still
rugged, stolid and sturdy looking in
dividual, with an iron jaw, who looks
ment. But 80 far as we were able to
discern there Is nothing the matter
with his game. He still carries fine
punch in his swing That is something
| good old Sandy seemed to lack
| Taylor's back swing is short and
snappy, but when he swings through
there is swish and q click that de-
note tremendous power. He is an ex-
ceedingly accurate and steady golfer.
During the entire afternoon round yes
terday he was off the line only once.
he hooked his drive out Of bounds.
What is more, J. II. is wonderful
putter. We predict right here and now
he will do we'll in any tournament he
may play in while in this country.
| Taylor plays all Of his shots from a
slightly open stance. Herd, On the
| other hand, takes a square stance, with
| the left foot slightly advanced. He
uses the palm grip, grasping the club
with pair of thick, meaty hands.
| Sandy sways. his body slightly on his
| back swing and rolls his shoulders
| somewhat as he pivots. Yesterday he
| showed tendency to hook all of his
drives, although he was generally on
the fairway.
| One thing about Herds game that
surprised us greatly was his manner
of approaching. We had been given to
understand the game abroad was to
run the ball up to the green. But 1t
made no difference to Sandy whether
there was a trap or level fairway In
front of him, whenever he had chip
shot to make he took out his niblick
| and pitched the ball right onto the
green. Taylor kept most Of his APP
proaches low.
Herd Keeps Crowd Amused
Herds antics on the green's kept the
crowds in good humor. Sandy was
very much in earnest about his put
| ting, and when any of the puts
trimmed the cup or refused to drop he
! would give a sudden witch with his
body, then glance at his partner re-
morsefully, as much as to say "Can you
beat that?"
