Hutch Fares Poorly.
That championship, together with
certain happenings that preceded and
others that followed it, may be cited
to bring out point of interest in
golf. Jock Hutchison had of course
won the British title only a short
time before. Prior to going abroad
that Spring Jock had enjoyed an un.
usually successful Winter and early

and South Open at Pinehurst. also an

won at least two other tournaments

was still in his winning stride when
we went abroad.

answer is that he had reached his
peak earlier and with the winning
of the British title he let down. On

The tournament was played that
year at the Columbia Country Club
at Washington. When the big field
assembled it included not only every
professional who could be figured as
even a remote chance TO win, but
Duncan and Mitchell as well, and
quite a number of star amateurs. SO
it appeared a cinch that the scram-
BILE for the title would be merry
one from start to finish. 1t certainly
looked in advance like the most open
of open championships. with big odds
warranted against any starter in the
field. But golf is a strange game.
Wins by Big Margin.
I won the championship by mar.
gin of 9 strokes with total of 289.
The difference between my score and
that of Walter Hagen and Freddy
Mcleod. who tied for second. was the
largest in 20 years. Starting with a
fine round of 60 / made every post
a winning one, as they say in racing
circles, the other rounds being rs,
73 and 72.
OF course, this success confirmed my
belief that, given good physical condi-
tion, l might have won the British
open at st. Andrews a few weeks be-
fore. But that was merely a PROPOSE
ton of might have. been. And might
have-beens aren't worth a nickel a
dozen in golf.
I have always attributed the victory
at Columbia to one thing, and that
was a matter of policy and tactics.
Away back in one of the earlier arti-
cles of this series mention was made
of a lesson learned in my first national
championship at Buffalo in 1912. That
lesson was, that the player who eX-
poets to achieve winning golf has to
learn to meet conditions of play as he
finds them. whether they are extraor-
binary because of the weather or
whatnot. That lesson served in good
stead at Columbia.
Greens Are Hard Hit.
Owing to a spell of dry, hot weather
a few weeks before the tournament,
some kind of trouble attacked the
Columbia putting greens. DR.. Walter
Harlan, who is the reigning figure at
the matter of upkeep of the course at
Columbia, found himself suddenly in a
trying situation, with the champion'
ship only q short time away. He
called in some government experts on
gra sses and remedies were prescribed.
Unfortunately they made matters at
least for the time being worse than
ever, SO that when the championship
started many of the green's were
burned quite brown in great big spots.
AS a result they were slippery and
treacherous, and made putting eX-
ceedingly delicate and difficult.
Even before the start of the cham
pionship, in the preliminary practice
rounds, most of the players were
complaining about the greens, saying
that it was impossible to putt on
them. If they went for a putt and
the ball slid past the hole. it might
roll 5, or feet past, and there
would be another miss coming back.
felt reasonably sure that more than
a few were going to hurt their
chances seriously, worrying over
these conditions and their consequent
failure to hole puts that they
thought they should. Let any player
start out on a round with three puts
on the first two or three greens, and
he has to be a steady settled cam

BASE BALL SECRETS

The base runner in rounding base
should touch it's inside corner rather
than the middle of the base in order
to reduce the distance to be run. That
saves him a fraction of time and on
a close decision the man who cuts the
inside corner of the bases would be
safe, whereas the man who touches
them in the midle as he goes by
would be put out.

when l saw Mr.. Henderson on

The coroner leaned forward.

"Mr. Henderson started to pass

something to him in a low voice

Under pressure he gave the addition

Sonia could understand the drift
Of the testimony. She realized that
it was purely malicious on Berries

against Franklin.
She twisted her hands together
frantically when Franklin was called
for the second time.
Mr. Crane, when you testified the
first time you did not tell all you

II did not think the words 1 had

you didn't. That's rather a
strange attitude on your part. If
you had heard another man threaten
him on the afternoon he met his
death by drowning, would not you
