incidentally, in order to be present.
Walter Hagen and Jim Barnes, who
had come over to compete in the open
championship, made an all-night
train trip from the vicinity of Lon
don.
Things went well with me in the
morning round, "a the end of which
was up on Tolley, but in the after
noon | slipped. l was driving splen-
didly and getting perfect results from
series of cleek shots. Also, my ap-
proach puts were good. But my
short puts were wretched. The re-
suit was that l dropped behind at the
sixth hole and thereafter trailed.
This condition continued until
was down, with only four holes
still to be played. Then 7 buckled to
my work, and, by capturing the fif-
teenth and sixteenth holes and haly-
ing the seventeenth placed myself in
a position to square the match on the
eighteenth green.
This did not prove very hard to do
as Tolley, cracking a bit under the
terrific strain, put his drive in some
rushes and followed up by finding a
bunker with his second. L kept
straight ahead, got par to his 5
and won the hole.
The gallery of some three or four
thousand enthusiasts was pretty well
wrought up by this time and when
Tolley and I reached the first tee. to
play the short thirty-seventh hole an
almost Sabbath quiet reigned.
Both of us placed our tee shots on
the green, mine between 25 and 80
feet from the cup, Tolley's about 12
feet away. When I ran my ball up
for certain three, it looked like we
would have to play a second extra
hole. But the Britisher, with a bold
ly executed beautiful curving putt,
sank his ball for birdie 2, winning
the match and the title
The terrific silence amid which he
had played lasted for several seconds
after his ball went down and then
was broken by a perfect thunder of
applause. Then, kindly enough, /
was permitted to receive a salvo of
almost equal volume.

The friends of the large-mouth
point out that the "black bass
known over the country as the premier
game fish of wide distribution, is
ordinarily considered the large-mouth
kind. Thus, they say, the large
mouth bass. through popular ap-
proval, Is the black bass, and the
small-mouth, with it's limited range,
Is a variation.
1t is true that the large-mouth
bass, in pictures and in the minds of
the majority of anglers, has become
the symbol of the black bass. How
ever, there seems little doubt but
that the small-mouth is the true
black bass. The small-mouth bass
is found largely in rocky streams or
lakes, and his protective coloring
. is a stony gray, often approaching
black.
l have caught many small-mouth
bass with bellies that were almost
black. In the Mississippi and st.
Croix Rivers, this black shading,
which extends over the whole fish, is
pronounced.
Iarge-mouth bass, on the other
hand, are found in weedy lakes,
pecially among lily pads. in reed
beds and In shallow. grassy water.
Thus their protective coloring Is a
grassy green, shading to a white
belly.
Therefore. it seems quite logical
that the smallmouth is the black
bass, and the large-mouth merits his
name of green bass, strawberry bass
or Oswego bass. The large-mouth
bass is called green trout" or
trout" in Southern waters, almost
universally. which is another point
in favor of the small-mouth as the
original black bass.
