that one plays" said Walter j. Travis
recently, isn't the result of anything
shat took place yesterday or the day
before. 1t is the result Of something
thaf started perhaps two or three years
before and was gradually developed
into something approaching a habit.
Concentration has little to do with it,.
Naturally no man can let his thoughts
wander. and still play good golf. But
aetermlnation covers this part of it.
For no one who is determined to keep
up the battle Is going to be thinking Of
outside details.
HIS main idea Is to make that stroke
the best way he knows"
The game Of golf is a battle with
yourself more than it is battle against
any opponent. 1t is a battle to keep
your mental grip upon both nerve and
muscle. This mental grip can't be
forced IN any hurried fashion. 1t must
be the result of habit that is as slowly
formed as the mechanics of the swing
itself.
Few men have ever gone out after
goif success in more determined way
than Sarazen. He first learned the
proper mechanics of each stroke and
after that he worked hard and long to
get tnese correct habits fixed. Practice
with him was not merely a matter Of
hitting the ball, as it is with so many.
1t was matter of hitting ball after hail
in the right way until it became in
stinctive
There was no fuming or fretting or
fussing with him when things went
wrong. He was wise enough to know
that a good golf game is built upon no
such foundation.
Ten years ago in an amateur cham
pionship there were only few golfers
with enough confidence in their games
to battle with any continued deter
mlnation. When they struck one Of the
top liners they were almost willing TO
coneede victory nadvance. Now It is
another story. For example there were
Harrison Johnston and Rudy Knennar
at St Louis. They conceded victory to
no one. Johnston had Ouimet gnd
Guiiford to face in row. He hung
ana flnaiiy beat Ouimet by | hole when
the star Rostonian lost his touch an
the greens. The next day he went after
GuIlford with equal determination.
There will be at least ten or twelve
qualifiers at Brookline who will sten
forth and show their stuff against
any man they meet. Improved NAV
and Q higher average standard has
brought this about.

w orld's Tennis
Stars to PLAY
For u. S. Title
Shilnizu. Patterson, Ander-
SON and Alfonso Among
the Foreigners Entered

Eight of the worlds first ten tennis
players will compete for the singles
championship of the United States on
the courts of the Germantown Cricket
Club at Philadelphia when the forty
first tournament for that title begins on
September 8. In the order of their
ranking, as made by Wallis Myers, of
the London Field" who saw them all
in action last year, they are: William
T. Tilden I'd, William NJ Johnston, Vim
cent Richards, Zenzo Shimizu, Gerald
L. Patterson, James O. Anderson, Man
uel Alfonso and Richard N Williams I'd.
OF his FIRST ten" only B. I. C. Nor
ton, of South Africa, and Andre Colbert
will be absent.
Thus it is certain that at least four
nations will have their strongest rep
resentatives trying for the title which
represents the highest individual
honor of American courts. In addition
to the United States, Australia, Japan
and consequently the tournament takes
on real international significance. Shi-
mizu's place in international tennis is
SO we'll established that there can be
no doubt of his right to consideration
whenever the worlds best players are
being discussed. 1t was only an un-
fortunate turn of fate that kept him
out of this years Davis Cup contest,
but he will be in splendid condition
for the singles champi onship
The decision of the Spanish team to
remain here FOR both the doubles and
singles tournaments will be welcomed
by thousands who missed the chance
TO see their spectacular Davis Cup
matches against Australia. Manuel
Alfonso was the particular star in that
event, but his teammate, Count Manuel
de Gomar, also distinguished himself.
Their ability has been we'll known
abroad, but this being their first trip TO
America they were not so we'll known
to the tennis public here. Praise of
their play at Philadelphia last week
shows how popular they became in
their short stay here.
Both Patterson and Anderson are 30
we'll known that little comment is re-
quired. The fact that Patterson again
won the championship at Wimbledon
before sailing for the United States in
July assures the closest attention Of
the gallery for any event in which he
plays. Anderson "found himself" at
Philadelphia in 1921 as great tennis
player and proved 1t before he sailed
for Australia by defeating Tilden in a
sensational match at Chicago. Another
match between those two players Is
awaited with the keenest interest.
Arrangements for the championship
are progressing rapidly, the stands be-
ing practically completed and the
courts in excellent condition. Entries
for the championship close tomorrow,
and must be addressed to the United
States Lawn Tennis Association, 20
Broad Street, New York.

Tales of a Wayside Tee
By GRANTLAND RICE


NSSHt0hs' A9ssi Neto x9rS ITtbAHe lno,S
Probably the most overplayed word in
golf in Concentration. At least it is a
strong runner-up for the title.
~ We have seen golfers concentrate to
ouch an extent that they were both
mensally and physically about as elastic
as steel girdle around a half built
skyscraper.
The big word for golf isn't so much
concentration as it is determination
fntermingled with the proper quantity
of mental serenity.
In the last ten years we have seen
= three great home-bred golfers step for
ward to astonish the multitudes We
refer to Jack McDermott, Walter Hagen
and Gene Sarazen.
The main qualification which each
carried, outside of sound golf swing,
was determination. Not the form Of
determination that works in flashes but
; the continued. unbroken brand that re-
fuses to recognize defeat as long as
( the match is alive. These three have
been, among all the pros, the most de-
termined golfers we have ever known.
They have been matched in amateur
circles only by Walter j. Travis and
Jerome d. Trsvers who also had un-
! broken determination to the last putt.
= OF the three great home-breds. Nc
( Dermott and Sarazen were the hardest
workers when it came to long. hard
! practice, Hagen was never keen about
this form of golf and even in his earlier
career gave very little attention to it.
1t has been one of the leading sights of
golf to see the great confidence which
( these three have always held as they
stepped upon the FIRST tee against any
opponent.
They have all had concentration, of
course, but the will to give battle was
their main asset. And it still is in the
"ese Of Hagen and Sarazan.
Many golfers undor btedly have been
. tied up into mental knots by the ap-
plication of this word concentration.
They have concentrated to such an ex-
tent that mental relaxation was i'm
possible. And, If there is no mental
relaxation there can be no physical re-
Taxation, which is always necessary.
This relaxation doesn't mean Iooseness
OF thought or muscle. Ii simply means
smoothness and natural effort which is
the basis Of good timing and real
sYcwer. In the case of Sarazen, he has
worked hard enough 20 get his swing
grooyed.
He knows that he can keep on hitting
the bali about the same way every time.

The Snowman
Babe Ruth is something more than mere Walop-
ing Machine. He is also one Of the greatest of all
showmen.
The Crucial Epoch and the big crowd combined have
always found him on the verge of lofty deeds.
This season he opened with depressing slump.
Then the raspberry refrain opened up he suddenly
began to hit again, stling the clamor.
After this he lapsed once-lapsed until the crowd be-
gan to wonder whether Williams Walker or Hornsby
would be the king. At this moment he once again
crashed back into the big, black headlines before big
crowds.
He suddenly scented the stretch which is aways the
main highway of battle
And it at the start of the stretch that the re-
verberating of his budgeon churned up the
atmospheric spaces
Once again he was dancing to his favorite tune
over the fence and far away"
Against Big Odds
Great Britain makes her international stand this
week against heavy odds.
The National Golf Links at Southampton will find her
golf team facing the strongest amateur the
United States sent to the field
The Australian challengers later on in the same
week must against Tilden, Johnston Richards
and Williams.
The first two alone seem to be an almost unbeatable
pair IN the turf tennis world of to-day.
Except for the fact that sport has way of SHINING
IN subtle upsets when least expected both golf and
tennis results might be considered all in before blow
is struck
But taking anything for granted in sport is one Of
the surest ways in the world to wake up and find a
large, round lump under the right or left ear.
