THE MIND IN GOLF
BY H. Addington Bruce

- -AddlIISlOll bOluSS
T ESLIE SCHONS declaration that the
mental side of golf is vastly more i'm
~ portant than the physical, will hardly
command the immediate assent of most golf
ers. Let any golfer, though, carefully re-
view his own experiences and he will hest
tate before accusing Schon of any rash mis-
statement, or even of an reinstatement.
Not only does the general mental attitude
play most significant part in the final out
come of a round Of golf but observation
shows that, again and again, the execution
of individualsStrOkes is absolut ely determined
by the particular ideas present in the mind
at the time the stroke is made.
And these ideas may influence the play
even though the attention paid to them is
only momentary. AS the suggestionist Emile
Coue has put it, if ideas have CHANGED to
captivate the imagination they tend auto
matically to be realized in action.
l write these lines fresh from CURIOUS
golfng episode that Enthusiastically illustrates
the potency of ideas in affecting ones game.
Playing in a foursome, had driven my
ball safely across a difficult trap guarding
the green on a short hole, the ball coming
to rest few feet below the green. The pre-
ceding hole, a long one, had made in five.
AS We started from the tee my partner jest
ingly remarked, "That drives good for an
other five, all right"
1t should have been good Tor three, or
at worst, four. Actually l required the speci-
fed five.
But behold, My partners drive had been
hole high, to the right Of the green. His ap-
proach was within five feet of the hole. H
putted past far as to miss coming back,
and took a five himself hole Of only IT'S
yards.
Coincidence? Perhaps. The greatest likeli-
hood is that his testing suggestion of five
had given his own mind as well as mine
definite trend in interfering with smoothness
of play.
This, however, is but single incident.
More impressive is the circumstance that If
player novice or expert, has the misfor-
tune TO get into one or two traps at the
outset of round, he is likely to continue to
find traps the remainder of the round.
The only satisfactory explanation, to any
one familiar with the psychology of sugges-
ton, is that consciously or subc0nsciously
the "unlucky' golfer, just before making
stroke in the direction Of this or that trap,
visualizes his ball skipping or trickling into
the trap. Then, albeit quite unwittingIy. he
accommodates his stroke to realize the in ge
in his mind
Believing this, l heartily indorse Lesh-

OWy and cOlOrleSS. But once when I took
laudanum there was unveiled before me a
series of the most wonderful pictures, minute
and sharp as the landscape seen through the
big end Of an opera glass, and as brilliantly
colored as Chinese rice-paper sketch. 1t
was an unprecedented experience for me, and
1 realized for the first time what delights are
enjoyed by the favored few who have colored
dreams naturally.
De Quincy in his Confessions" and Ban
delaire in his Hymn to Opium depict in
the most glowing terms that English and
French afford the delights of the opium
dream. But those who seek an artificial par
adise by way of the alkalods find ultimately
that they have jumped out of ennui into
anguish. De Quincy soon found himself
chased by Chinese, kissed by cancerous croco-
diles, and suffering other forms of allitera-
tive torment.
Opium and hashsh in the Orient alcohol
and cOcain in the Occident, have been from
time immemoral the favorite means of es-
Gaping from this dull world into the dream
land of Euphoria. Hashish also intensifies
color perception and eXcites chromatic
dreams. I knew lady who was accustomed
to take pnhead pill Of hashish gum before
going to the theater because it frightened
the scene and converted the painted back
drop into spacious landscape.

by trembling and finally collapse. The pa

irritabilty.
Possibly anxiety and terror dreams in gem

peculiarly unpleasant in ones past expert

a guest in one of the most elegant homes in
the city of Atlanta.
In a prominent place on table in the
upper hall was a good-sized framed picture

not be missing, or If they should be missing
it will be the first time in the history of the

two years ago they were vociferous in the
matter of promises. They would be active
servants of the people. They would reduce
the heavy taxation. They would reduce the
number of office holders-useless ones, that

an object of eager interest for more
than three thousand years. The latest
journals of psycho-analyss deal with the
same question as the earliest papyri Of Egypt
or cuneiform bricks of Assyria-and with
little more success.
Isn't it time, then, that attacked the
problem from the other side? Instead of
wasting so much time endeavoring to deter
mine what dreams mean, would we not make
better progress if we tried to find out what
makes dreams? Then we could get whatever
dreams we liked and whenever we liked and
need not bother about their Interpretation.
We now have some prospect of progress in
this direction, for our new knowledge of the
hormones gives us a clue. A case in point is
reported by Finley. He had woman patient
to whom he gave grain day of extract of
the pituitary body to build UP her blood pres
sure. Her dreams had hitherto been trivial
and colorless, but after ten days of the treat
ment she began to have pleasurable and
highly colored dreams. She travelled extern
siyely in her dreams, as she had always
1Onged to in reality, and wherever she went
she found the stations and cars freshly paint
ed in pleasing colors, and the trainmen In
nice new uniforms with gold braid.
Shortly after the treatment was altered
and adrenalin, another of the glandular Sc
cretions, was substituted. At once a change
came over the spirit Of her dreams. They
lost their colors and became horrible, filled
with violent quarrels.
Now if Freudian practitioner had taken
the case he would have proceeded to probe
for completes in her unconscious without
even putting her under an anesthetic. He
would diagnose the former dreams due to
Suppressed DESIRES" instead of pituitrin, and
the latter due to "infantile Fears instead
of adrenalin. Yet the doctor could produce
either brand of dreams at will by an infini-
tesimal dose Of white powder.
Fear and rage promote the secretion of
adrenalin from the supranenal glands.
Conversely, the injection of adrenalin,
which may be made in the laboratory, will
stimulate the symptoms of fear the goose
pimples, the hair-raising, the cold-sweat, and
all that. And James showed years ago that
with the symptoms come the corresp Onding
emotion.
1t seems from this case that dreams may
be made to order like picture postcards, one
cent plain and five cents colored. Common
dreams come plain in black and white and
gray, chiefly gray. Most Of US are color
blind for a third of our lives. My dreams
are usually fragmentary and fugitive, shad-

IN nothing is John W. Davis more truly
American than in his liking for all sorts
and conditions of men, his understanding
of their interests, his sympathy with their
aspirations, and his readiness to serve them
in any good cause. For well-nigh twenty
years before his election to Congress in 1910,
he practiced law in the town of Clarksburg,
West Virginia. One who knew him well in
those days recalls Following the usual Gus
tom of country lawyers, he did whatever
work came to his hands to do. His clients
were of the most varied character includ-
ing farmers, artisans, labor unions, and men
of all stations in life From such contacts
he gained insight into human nature and
human needs that served him well In later
and larger responsibilities.
AS Congressman he was democrat of
Democrats. The liberal labor clauses of the
Clayton Act not only received his support on
the floor of the House, but also were framed,
in some Of their most vital provisions, with
his assistance and counsel Further. he sun

for what\ he then did, but as attesting what
manner of man he u.s.
AS Solicitor General Of the United States,
which office he accepted in the late summer
of 1913 after a service of approximately two
and half years in Congress, he argued in
behalf of the government and the people
many of the most momentous issues Of that
stirring period. Among these were the
Adamson law fixing an eight-hour day for
railroad employees, the so-named "Mid-West
Oil'' case in which the Presidents with
drawal of certain oil lands from private leas-
ing was upheld, the act placing the oil pipe
lines under jurisdiction of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, the first federal
cases in which the income tax amendment
was held Constitutional; and numerous pros
ecutions of trusts then charged with trans
crossing the law, notably the United States
Steel Corporation, the International Harves-
ter Company, the Reading Company, and the
Lehigh Railroad Company. Battles like these
would hardly predispose lawyer of John w
Davis temperament to excessive sympathy
with wall Street."
