.I th.END--
By SOL METzGER.

"W-ild Bill Mehlhorn, so called
because Of his sprees in wrecking
par, gave Tommy Armour the
scare of his young life on his last
round in the 1927 open at Oak
mont when he produced an unbe.
lievabIe 80 on the first nine-fiye
strokes under par-and needed a
sc, one under par, on the last nine,
to cop the championship. But the
621-yard twelfth, the ghost hole,
wound up Bills chances. as it did
those of many other aspirants.
When wild RilI'' gets going he
is one of the greatest par wreckers
in the game. No one hits cleaner
tee shot, low and dead to line. It's
a sound shot. too, for Bill plays it
well under control, although one
might think that with his tremen-
dous Strength he would be inclined
TO let go. instead, Bill depends on
form. His backswing is abbrevi-
ated and his club taken back with
the left arm. His pivot is around
his right leg. so that this leg car
Iies the weight at the top, which is
balanced by the inside of the big
toe of his left. / have sketched
him at the top of his swing to give
proof of the fact that Bill can hit
them straight and true up to 800
yards without overswinging.

Years ago. Bobby Jones told me
he was always glad when he was
paired with Walter in an open
championship.
II love to play with Walter"
said he. ''ie never crabs about
his luck; he goes along with his
chin up, smiling away. The only
time his head is down is when he
is playing shot"
And it was in the first British
open championship that he won
that Walter enunciated what. to
me. is the supreme philosophy Of
golf-and of life.
From a certain tee at Sandwich,
he hit magnificent, long drive
that met with a wretched break in
luck, the ball, driven exactly to the
spot in the fairway designed by
Walter, bounding wildly and mex.
picably off line into horrid place
in the rough.

SAYS ST. ANDREWS

Hearers Get "KiCk" When He
Picks 0akmont as His
Favorite Links.

A TLANTA, Ga, October is RO..--
~ Bobby Jones thinks that Jess
~ Sweetser is the best match
4 a play amateur golfer ne has
met and that Chick Evans is
the next.
He made this known when he spoke
before the Atlanta Rotary Club in the
lengthiest speech of his career.
Whether this was in line with the
forensic training required in connec-
ton with his law studies at Emory
University, OF by reason of his friend
ship for Z. Fl. Bob Martin, chairman
of the program committee, was not
disclosed.
The fact remained that Bobby spoke
IL minutes and then replied to n bom-
bardment of questions, Martin having
suggested that the club members
might like to ask him questions per-
tanning to golf.
Introducing the British open and
American amateur champion, Martin
said:
This is great day for Atlanta.
Both of America s greatest good will
ambassadors. Charlie Lindbergh and
Bobby Jones. are in town at the same
time. One of them. Bobby, will speak
to you in a more intimate way. very
likely, than he ever has spoken be-
fore"
Bobby i'm Hsppy Mood.
Bobby did precisel3. that. He was in
happy frame of mimi and he spoke
freely and easily on solf and some of
his experiences. He dealt with them
in humorous and anecdotal spirit.
The questions came thick and fast,
and smiling he answered them as
promptly as they were asked.
"What course do you regard as the
best test of championship golf?'
"St. Andrews" was the answer
What course of all you have play
ed do you like best?"
"Oakmont."
Statement Brings Laughter.
This reply was greeted by roar of
laughter, as Bobby's appearance at
Oakmont, in the latest American open
championship, was his most disastrous
experience In that event
'Who is the best match amateur
golfer you ever metz"
Jess SweetSer."
1t was Sweetser who gave Bobby
that 81 drubbing at Brooliline in 1922.
who next?"
Chick Evans. He's a hard one to
beat always; great competitor"
Bayne Gibson inquired:
rs it true that you felt you had to
win the last British open because a.
600 Scotchmen were betting on you?''
Bobby laughed and his rejoinder
was lost in the mingled laughter and
applause from the audience.

In the gallery a friend of Hagen's
was moved to sympathy.
Gee. Walter" he said, that's
tough lucki'
But Walter, smiling away, re-
piled:
"Well, that's where it is!''
In golf, and in life--that's where
it is! Whether by your bad play,
or through bad luck--that's where
you play your next shot from!
There's no finer philosophy Of golf,
or of life.
