place among the also.rans. Then
John s. Grimes flew off in a tangent
on the extra hole of his grueling
struggle with w. N. Baldwin.
Finally, young Donald McPhail
found the play of the medalist. John
c. Shorey, too much for him and he
passed out Of the picture in the rain

Tommy Worthy Champion.

! along with very poor weather on
the opening day of the tournament.
! and the usual strain and worry or
| the last two rounds, when scores of
the contendcrs always mount higher
than normally they would. When all
| is said and done, the Oakmont cham
pionship and the fact that the scores
ran higher than usual is a tribute to
the genius of William c. FoWneS and
his skill in constructing fair test
on which the worlds finest golfers
cannot or did not break 800 for four
rounds That the winning score was
rot below 800 is entirely beside the
point Armour and Cooper, Armour
particularly. of course. played golf
GOOD enough to win. That they did
not lead the field by a dozen shots
takes nothing from the glory of their
tie achievement, Arhour's browning
win in the play-off Golf is like amy
other game. The winning margin
need not necessarily be more than
ore stroke, two games in tennis, a
yard in swimming, inches in horse
racing, one run in base ball-it still
is the winning margin. and 1t is usu-
ally not won by any circumstance of
fate or roll of terrain. 1t nearly al
ways is the result of skill and par
tcularly does it mean just that over
- holes of play under exactly the
same conditions as the rest of the
field contended with.
Anent Certain Briton.
A British entrant in the champion
ship who played well, but not we'll
enough to WIN. is credited with the
statement that thu winning score at
Oakmont was too high, and that it
should have been several strokes
lower. He is a man entirely capable
of shooting Oakmont in par any time
he starts. He should remain anony
NOUS and he will. But the question
naturally arises: why did not he
score as low or lower than SOL"
The only answer to the Oakmont
question is that the best man on
June IA, Is, Is and II won the ma
tional open championship. That he
did not win with a better score than
391 or win by more strokes means
nothing. The fact that he led a field
of the worlds finest golfers, includ-
ing the peer of them all-Bobby
Jones-is enough. Tom Armour is a
worthy champion and a great one.
He deserved to win the championship
and any efforts to minimize his Oak
mont effort are made in bad taste

know he deserved to win,

yTTST about as expected, the self
amounted critics and the EEK
merits" who failed to show in
the national open golf champ
ionship at Oakmont a few days
ago have begun TO take pot shots at
the score made by the winner-TommE
Armour of Congressional and Harry
Cooper of California, who tied Win
Armour over tho championship us
lance of - holes. Yet these same
critics and experts, when all IS sara
and done, cannot satisfactorily answer
the question of why the rest of the adj
mitted great field did not do as well
as Armour and Cooper. The answer
seems to be that Oakmont alone, OF
all the courses on which the champ
ionship has been played over the last
ten wears, is the victor in the Cruel
ing test of open championship COM
petition.
Three hundred and one is one shot
over even 75s for four rounds. Far
for the Oakmont course is az. The
par was broken only once in actual
championship competition-the hrst
time by Armour in the second round
when he registered q and the
second time by Al Espinosa, who
rumped around in So.
Ana only one O(neE COnlptlliol SiaOt
a score equal to par out of the Your
rounds. Arm0ur's rounds were
IS. II, rs. 1891. against par figure
for the four rounds OF 2SS. No one
else, beside Armour and Cooper, was
able to get around Oakmont's rugged
stretches in the same figures or bet
ter, which does not augur well for the
condition of mind OF the experts who
have criticized the score of the win
ner and the runner.up in Il field which
was admittedly the finest to face the
starter in any open championship in
a decade.
Criticisms Poor Taste.
The championship does not so to
the golfer or golfers who break par
the week before the title.chase or the
week after. The champion is made in
the fierce fire of competition, under
exactly the same conditions the rest
of the field enjoys or fails to enjoy.
And any shots that are taken-verb-
ally-at the winner of the champion
ship by his competitors who failed to
score as low as the title-winner, would
seem by all standards of the game, to
be in poor taste.
Doubtless it is true that~the win
ming score was high. For that only
the tough Oakmont test can be blamed

TRAvERS MAY AGAIN
SEEK GOLF HONORS
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

Jerry Travers has been playing
quite a little golf this year and mas
hopes that next year he may be able
to resume his former practice OF
knocking off important sectional and
national championships.
TraYerS was one of those anomalous
champions who believe that the seri-
GUS business of life comes before sport
At the height of his career he laid
aside his clubs, so far as tourney pay
was concerned. and concentrated upon
negotiating the hazards of business
career.
Now, having worked up to a po-
sition where his name appears as one
of the partners in commission house
in New York. Travers has busted OIL
his clubs.
Certainly there is every business
precedent for the boss taking time or
for golf. no matter what the clerks
and other underlings may do. Who
knows, therefore, but that the time
honored name, Jerry Travers. may
once again have potent sound en-
the links?
Thus far champions in golf have
shown no more of tendency to come
back than have champions in other
sports. The nice adjustment of eye
to nerve and muscle is pretty much
the function of youth and knowledge
and experience of years do not offset
it's loss.
Maybe Jerry will come back and #
he does it will not only be a very dra-
matte occurrence, but will provide a
wholesome incentive for the young
men of the country who are playing al
one game or another when they ought
-
tons in the background in favor of
and enduring structure of business
success.
But II he never gets anywhere. his
record of having won three national
amateur championship titles and one
national open is enough to make his
name lustrous as long as he lives end
thereafter.

same three weeks. And they were
talking-golf.
Big Ted Ray loves an argument.
and George Duncan loves an argu-
ment better than Ted does, If possible.
Said Ted:
yesterday 1 was putting and a
strong wind was behind me. AS
struck the ball my hat blew off and
nearly fell on the ball as 1t rolled
toward the hole. What would have
been the penalty had my hat struck
the ball?"
George Duncan, instantaneous in
his mental as in his physical reac-
tons, spoke up at once:
why, nothing" said George.
Big Ted snorted.
'In that case" said he, "if saw
my putt was going far past the
hole, why couldn't 1 throw my hat
at the ball and stop it?"
The Black Scots eyes sparkled with
the lust of debate. The discussion
waxed fast and furious. The rule
which applied to the situation--and
there must be rule. because in golf
everything is provided for-seemed
uncertain on both sides.

Now, Vagliano is no longer driver

it would be a good thing to let the
Frenchman out-drive him at the start.
He had two ideas in mind: FIRST
that it would be splendid sense to
keep in the fairways, because the

work out very nicely if he should be
