DIEGEL'S ~CREAT'' DRIVES
MERELY MATTER OF LUCK
Fails to Hit Ball as Intended and Startles Fans
With Results-Taylor Plays From Beneath
HOrse-ArmOur Pulls Freak Smash.

In the championship rounds were SINH
lar to his out-of- bounds drives in the
practice rounds, except that they were
| aimed differently.
A Stickler for Rules.
The horse does not often poke his
head into golf, but now and then he
has become part of the lore of the
game.
1t was Willie Anderson-not the
four-time winner of the national open
championship, but q fellow Scot of
the same name-who told me that on
bet, while playing course in Scot
land, he directed a midiron shot at
a horse pasturing in a neighboring
meadow at distance of 200 yards and
hit it-much to the animals indignant
surprise. And Jerry Travers informed
me that "a member of a foursome in
which he was once playing on Long
Island drove a ball that lodged in the
ear of horse drawing a mower across
the fairway. But the best golf story
with a horsey flavor that I've ever
heard is told by the great Harry
Vardon.
The story concerns the late Earl of
Wemyss, who died at 95, after playing
golf almost to the very last. and who
was a very rigid observer of the rules
of the game.
Vardon was paired with Lady
Wemyss In a two-ball foursome
against the celebrated J. II. Taylor
and another woman. The earl seated
on his favorite horse, rode along to
watch them.
Lord wemyss had gotten ahead of
the foursome and had stopped his
mount to watch the players come up,
when Taylor's partner had the mis-
fortune to hit a ball that came to
stop right under the horses belly.
Taylor, whose turn it now was to
play the ball waited moment for the
earl to move, but this he did not do.
Beg pardon, your Lordship," said
]. H., 'but will you kindly move your
horse?"
Certainly not" replied Lord
Wemyss. "the rules forbid 1t. My
horse is something growing, and as
such cannot be moved"
There was nothing for Taylor TO
do but SOUR down and play the shot.
He pul'2d 1t off, all right" says
Vardon, "but all the time / noticed he
watched the nag's hoofs with very
uneasy eye"
armour Makes QUICK shit.
There never was a freakier shot
made In a tournament than that of
Tommy Armour's in the finale of the
1920 Shawnee invitation tournament.
The then amateur was pitted against
Ray Thompson,
1t should be said that this play also
was one of the finest examples Of
quick thinking on record.
The fourteenth hole measured about
Ago yards and the wind was head-on.
Tommy's down-swing was well de-
veloped when the wind toppled his
ball off its tee and fell toward him.
There was disaster In that accident.
But, quick as fash, Tommy accel-
Grated his swing and increased the
final snap. His drive was SO strong
and so true that he was left with only
a mashie play to the green. He got
down birdie and went on to victory.

USES ONE GOLF BALL
TO PLAY 800 HOLES

America has new golf record that
ought to make even Scotsmen envious,
w. III. Pratt, member of the Marsh.
field Golf Club, has a ball that he
played for 800 successive holes. Be.
ginning March 20 and concluding
April II, he used the ball on nine golf,
ing days for a distance of 102,19S
ards.
Because he was not always on the
line, he probably walked 55 or more
miles with that one ball. All without
caddy.
Pratt gave up using the ball not
because it was cut or worn. as it kept
its shape and resiliency amazingly, but
because it bothered his game. He be-
came more interested in the preser-
walton of the historic pellet than in
his scores.

When Jones shot he hooked into
the crowd to the left of the green
among the trees. 1t took almost
five minutes to find that ball. All
the while Bobby sat alone on the
tee smoking a cigarette. What a
strain he must have been under
during that wait. Finally they call
ed out-of- bounds"
Bobby's second was the turning
point of the match. It came right
up the fairway and rolled onto the
green, not far from the cup. If my
memory is correct. they halved the
hole with As.
Bobby played the shot as he does
all wood shots-back slowly with
right leg acting as pivot. left arm
straight, head down and immoyabIe
throughout the stroke, with left leg
braced to carry the weight as he
hits. Then up on his toes. There is
lots of wrist in the down stroke.
Merely the old, old maxims of golf
over again, the points that are al.
ways being driven home to us.
Where Jones differs from most of
us y in his timing and rhythm.

N Jew YORK, July 1.-The
M British open championship,
VI the outstanding golf event of
4 Great Britain, will be held
July II to IS, with three
representatives from the United
States competing. This number is
not so large as to provote any undue
comment. but the potential strength
of the trio-Bobby Jones, Jim Barnes
and Joe Kirkwood--is calculated to
give British players considerable
trouble.
The eleventh hour decision of
Jones to return to Great Britain to
defend the title he won in sensational
manner last year has greatly stimuli
ated interest in the British open, both
in this country and in Great Britain.
What it was that influenced Jones
to change his mind at the last
minute and go abroad in quest again
of the championship he holds is not
known. 1t may be the spirit of ad.
venture that is taking the American
golf ace TO the other side; perhaps
this is friendly and graceful gesture
on the part of the Albanian in return
ing the trophy; or it may be that
Bobby is anxious to vindicate his
showing in the recent national open
at Oakmont. Close friends of Bobby
say that he is keenly disappointed,
not because he lost his title, but be.
cause of his poor performance in that
tournament, the worst he ever has
turned in in an open.
British Pros Not Deceived.
That poor showing. however, is not
in any way deceiving the British
professionals. They fear him more
than any other American golfer.
The situation is rather amusing, be.
cause, just when the Britons were
beginning to figure on the British
open as being for the first time in a
number of years a private fight, along
comes Jones. Now the Britons have
TO reckon again on the possibility of
the cup taking another trip to
America

Scot had a two-stroke lead when

into a pocket surrounded by trees
with out-of-bounds on either side.
