age of victories over the entire sea-
son. Logically. the same procedure
should follow In golf.
Understand. In proclaiming John
ny Farrell professional champion
over the years stretch, no slap is
Intended at good old Tommy Ar
mour. Tommy Armour was as good
as any golfer at Oakmont-and bet
ter than most.
The way the national champion
Is picked In America today seems
nothing but glorified lottery. 1t is
a hit or miss affair with luck en-
throned. Whoever happens to be on
his game that particular week gets
the halo for the entire 81 weeks. It
Is just as II a batting championship
were decided on one afternoon and
Babe Ruth, after hitting 100 hon.
ers all season, happened to strike out
and rookie scratched a single to
cop the title.
This condition was not noticed till
1927 when Mr.. Farrell came along
and called attention to the faulty
system by which a national profess
sional champion" is selected.
May be the new statistical idea Is
too visionary. undramatic. Just the
same it is unanswerably just and If
you want to find the true leader Of
1927 golf look for his name among
the F's rather than the AS.

Farrell IS The
UNCROWNED CHAMP
Has Captured Five Major 1927
Golf Tournaments
BY JIMMY POWERS

New York, Aug. IS The I'M
crowned professional golf champion
Of America-Mr. John Aloysius Far
rell!
Slow music. professor. while we
shed few tears over Johnny.
The link season of 1927 is nearing
its climax. There remains but the
national amateur, the women's
championship and the P. G. A. to get
excited about.
A critical review Of the profession
al campaign cannot help but drive
home the fact that Mr.. Farrell is
something more than congenial
companion for rainy days and a
model for what the well-dressed man
should wear.
He has captured five major 1927
golf tournaments an unparalleled
record.
They are the metropolitan, Shaw
nee. Massachusetts,, Eastern and the
Pennsylvania meets. Farrell would
trade these Ave coronets for Ar
mour's single crown and yet there
is no denying his accomplishment is
far superior to Tommy's.
Which leads us to new sugges-
ton made by pros lately: Why not
decide the true champion on an
average of result over the entire
year?
Golf being what 1t is. 1t Is ridicu-
lous to pick single 72-hole tourna-
ment and call the winner champion
Of America" The truth Is, II the
Oakmont classic had been replayed
the following week another probably
would have won. Due to the char
acter of the game, an open cham
pionship merely decied who Is cham
pion for any given week.
Golf resembles baseball that way.
They don't proclaim the Giants
champions on the strength of one
series. Even the lowly Red Sox &C.
casionally trim the Yanks. Pennant
race are determined by a percent
